1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 1: Good morning. I made it to the midway point of

2
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: the week and the Colts getting ready for a road game,

3
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: their first real big road test of the year against

4
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams along with Kevin Bowen and James

5
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: Boyd Mark Dyke did I'm jeff Rickord. Welcome into a

6
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: little Wednesday Morning edition KB. Not a great night for

7
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: the Indiana Fever. They they kind of fought and scratched

8
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: their way back a little bit at the end of

9
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: the first half and a little bit at the beginning

10
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: of the third quarter, and then like a nine to

11
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: nothing run two thirds of the way through the third quarter,

12
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: and Vegas just kind of coasted home last night.

13
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're stretching for positives and even trying

14
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: to commit to any sort of run. I thought the

15
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: Vegas Aces looked like a championship team last night, and

16
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 2: I thought as good as Asia Wilson was in bouncing back,

17
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 2: I really think their guards set the tone early. Chelsea

18
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: Gray had that ball on a string. Dana Evans speed

19
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: I think impacted, and you know, her matchup with Kelsey

20
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: Mitchell certainly not like Game one, and James Boyd and

21
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: Melissa Smith getting one against her former team she was

22
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: an issue with the fever last night, so you got

23
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: the split. You played with house money last night, you

24
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: did not win with house money, and now you got

25
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: a best of three series with home court, and at

26
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 2: the start of the series you certainly would have signed

27
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: up for that.

28
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe that was a playoff career high eighteen

29
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 3: points from Melissa Smiths seven to nine from the field.

30
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: So anytime you have the balance back game from Asian

31
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 3: Wilson as well as supporting cast helped that she got

32
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 3: last night, it's hard to beat that team. So while

33
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 3: they won, what was it seventeen of eighteen end of

34
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: the year or you know, eighteen nineteen going into this series.

35
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 3: So a very good team, very good win for them.

36
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 3: They one that they really needed, I thought going back

37
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 3: to Indiana on Friday for Game three. And also when

38
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 3: Kelsey Mitchell isn't making shots at a high rate, it's

39
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 3: hard for their offense to get going.

40
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a struggle last that. There was a

41
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: brief moment of the reason I bring up that third

42
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: quarter coup, and there was a brief moment when they

43
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: had a three pointer by Lexi Hull, they got a

44
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: steal that ended up being a basket for Kelsey Mitchell

45
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: and they kind of went on a little five zero run,

46
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: but Becky haven't called the time out and that was

47
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: the end of that. And that's as close really as

48
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: they ever got. Again. I don't think they closer than

49
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: seven in the second half, did they? James?

50
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not sure. All knows.

51
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: I got the breaks beat off them last night. So

52
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 3: anytime you lose by twenty two, probably weren't any runs

53
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: in that game.

54
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably kind of expected it though, after stealing Game one,

55
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: you figured you'd get the Aces best shot last night.

56
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a really good basketball team, is

57
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: really well coached, and they have the best player in

58
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: the world.

59
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: Both series at one to one. What a finish to

60
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,839
Speaker 2: game one, or I should say the first game last

61
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 2: night of LINKX and Mercury. There the Links blowing a

62
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: twenty point.

63
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 4: Lead always found off three.

64
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did not do that, stupid. They regretted that

65
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 2: and now the Mercury have that series split. So probably

66
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: not too often we've said that about WNBA semi final

67
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: series of one to one splits here, but that's what

68
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: we've got again, best of five. That's the reminder there

69
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: and Friday night seven thirty, Game three, I think game

70
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 2: Bridge Field House will be rocking.

71
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: We're looking forward to We'll talk all about that a

72
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: little bit later on this morning. The Colts, of course,

73
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: getting back to work later today, mentioned a moment ago

74
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: James board the first real big road test for them.

75
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: They're three and zero. They got a win against the

76
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: team we think is okay with the Denver Broncos. They

77
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: beat a bad Dolphins team, to use your terms, they

78
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: beat the breaks off the Dolphins, and they got a

79
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: road win against a pretty suspect And I think I'm

80
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: being kind there Tennessee Titans team. So now it gets

81
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: real this week.

82
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, god awf was probably what

83
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: you said about the Tennessee Titans.

84
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 2: If you beat the breaks got off, what would be

85
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: additioned to beating the breaks off them?

86
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if the muffler off.

87
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: I guess taking the steering wheel too.

88
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: That team was one of the worst teams you'll probably

89
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: see all year in the Tennessee Titans. They'll probably be

90
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: in another running for a top five pick. And then

91
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: when you look at the Denver Broncos, I'm not sure

92
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: that they're good either. I mean, if you look at

93
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 3: the combined record of the teams the Colts have beaten,

94
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: they're one and eight and they've been in those opponents

95
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 3: have been outscored by eighty points in those games. And

96
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: so yes, I think a stiffer test is coming on

97
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 3: Sunday against Los Angeles Rams. And we had the chance

98
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 3: to hear from the coordinators yesterday. Kevin and both coordinators

99
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: lou And Rumo and Jim Bob Cooter have experience with

100
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: the Rams and with Matthew Stafford to a degree. So

101
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: on one handle and Rumo is like, yeah, I'm still

102
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: scarred by Matthews. No look past and the Super Bowl

103
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: for a first down, it's a Cooper cup.

104
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 4: And then on the other hand.

105
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 3: Jim Bob Cooper worked for him for about five years

106
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 3: in Detroit and he has a lot of respect for him.

107
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: What he did there as well, didn't really get the

108
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 3: respect that he deserved, I thought, until he got to

109
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: LA and won a Super Bowl.

110
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 2: I cannot recall the last time I have looked forward

111
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: to a September Colts football game more like I can't

112
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: wait for some point. Yeah, I think Sunday is gonna

113
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: be awesome. I think the Rams are a great challenge.

114
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: I think the Rams are pretty good defensively and don't

115
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 2: give a lot of credit, don't get enough credit really

116
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: on that side of the ball. So I think this

117
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: is a great barometer. I think it's I think plenty

118
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: of NFL I should be on it. I was a

119
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: little disappointed that the Fox crew they didn't get Olsen

120
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: or the Brady crew for this one. It'll be Kevin Coogler,

121
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: who I think does a great job on Big ten Network.

122
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: I think fans will recognize that voice in Darryl Johnston.

123
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: But I was hoping for, you know, kind of one

124
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: of the more marquee Fox crews. But nonetheless, again a great,

125
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: great challenge, and I think the Rams would speak in

126
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 2: the same light of the Colts. And you know, weirdly,

127
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: the Rams are kind of at you know, we talked

128
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 2: about trap game last week, and you know, again I

129
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 2: wasn't really a believer in that. You look at the Rams.

130
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: They just had one of the more emotional, I think

131
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: losses of the season, losing on a block field goal

132
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: last week in Philly, a game where I think they

133
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: led by three scores at one point. Yeah, it was

134
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: twenty six to seven, and then you got to travel

135
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 2: back across the country and the Eagles have had their

136
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: number for those unfamiliar with kind of the rams recent

137
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: history here and they have a game on Thursday night

138
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: within their division against the San Francisco team that's certainly

139
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: been one of the bright spots amidst all their injuries

140
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: early in the season. So the Colts games kind of

141
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: sandwiched here for the Rams, whereas the Colts I think

142
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 2: probably circle this a little bit more. The Rams, it's

143
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: kind of like, Okay, where are they going to be

144
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 2: at psyche wise on Sunday. So I'm pumped, cannot wait

145
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: for Sunday and really looking forward to the matchup.

146
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. The other thing about the Rams too, Remember there

147
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 1: was all that talk about the back issue of Matthew

148
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: Stafford at the beginning of the season preseason. He has

149
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: not been on the injury report one time during the

150
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: regular season, so I don't know what that was all about.

151
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: If it was a small back issue that a veteran

152
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: quarterback is like, yeah, I'm just going to chill out

153
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: until the regular season. But he's apparently been fine and

154
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: he's dealing to those receivers.

155
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's still one of the best quarterbacks in the

156
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 3: league and honestly the last of a dying breed because

157
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: he doesn't run, doesn't really scramble. Honestly, if he ever scrambled,

158
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 3: they probably scream on the sideline like what are you doing?

159
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 3: Just get rid of it. But he is precise and

160
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 3: he can certainly sling it with the best of him

161
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: because of his arm strength.

162
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 4: Still at his age.

163
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 3: I want to say, he's fifteen years in or fifteen

164
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: years plus in and he's still Like I said, I think,

165
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: are we one of the most underrated players of this era.

166
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: Kevin real quickly kind of treatchop it. We were talking

167
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: about the defense being a little bit better than most

168
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: people get him credit for. I think all people remember

169
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: a couple years ago when Aaron Donald was there, he

170
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: was just a one man wrecking crew. When they win

171
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: their Super Bowl several years ago, they'd brought in a

172
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: lot of free agents and they'd really built that thing

173
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: up and got way over the salary cap. But they

174
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: had a draft that a couple of years ago that

175
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: they just hit on all their defensive guys, and those

176
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: guys are playing really well right now.

177
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it's probably not the most you know Herald

178
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: the name. You know, if you go back to the

179
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, obviously you mentioned Donald. Do you think of

180
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: von Miller? Do you think of Jalen Ramsey? You know,

181
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: it's not necessarily that they are a little banged up

182
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: at corner, so I'll be curious to see how the

183
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: Colts can attack that. But you know, with Jared Vers

184
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: and Byron Young and Brandon Fisk, I mean, they definitely

185
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: have some players, particularly in their front, that I think

186
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: have done some nice things here early in the season.

187
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: So again, four h five three on Sunday, it's a

188
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: three and a half point underdog. Vegas has this over

189
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: under right now forty eight and a half. That's one

190
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: of the bigger over unders of any game here in

191
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: Week four.

192
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, tough night for the Reds last night. They have

193
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: now lost ground for the first time in almost a week.

194
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: They are game behind the New York Mets. Mets beat

195
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: the Are the Cubs ever gonna win again in the

196
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: regular season?

197
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 5: No, I don't think so. I think they've kind of

198
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 5: cast their chips. They just hang out. We're just having

199
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 5: fun right now.

200
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: They give up nine runs to the Mets last night,

201
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: and the Mets now if they are up six to one, Yeah,

202
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: one game ahead of the Reds, who just seemed to

203
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: struggle sometimes against the Pirates. Oh no, Cruz hit a

204
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: two run home run and a four run second last

205
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: night for the Pirates. That's that's all they needed.

206
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 6: Uh.

207
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: In the bottom of the second, I know, Elda of

208
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: the Cruz got a two run shop and nobody scored again.

209
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: So the Reds are dead.

210
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: Here we go again. If all they gotta do is

211
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: catch the Mets one game back, they have the tiebreak.

212
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: Have you seen Mark's baseball team try to attempt to

213
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: hit a ball and get twenty seven hours?

214
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 4: They want nothing to do with it.

215
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: Hell, the only good thing about the Reds and this,

216
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: you know, potential missing out in the playoffs, is if

217
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: it brings the Cubs with them. Couple are in the playoffs, right,

218
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: but they can continue this in the postseason.

219
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 4: Oh well, I'm sure they will some next level hate

220
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 4: rights there.

221
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 2: Six to one lead Mark the only saving grace last night?

222
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: I say, yeah, no way the Reds. Oh another double

223
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: play with the Reds just hit into Oh it's fine.

224
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 2: The Cubs will hold on to a six to one lead.

225
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 5: Well, Kate Horton their best pitcher. Who's just he was

226
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 5: probably gonna win n L Rookie of the Year. He

227
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 5: left with the shoulder tightness yesterday in like the third inning.

228
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: So that's not good. That's that's not great.

229
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 5: He's probably he's probably gonna be your game won or

230
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 5: game two starter in the playoffs. So hopefully that's a

231
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 5: short stint, but that's not ideal.

232
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm checking the phone last night because I was

233
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: running my youngest around a little bit, and all of

234
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: a sudden, at six to one, I look up, it

235
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: was seven to seven. All of a sudden, I'm like,

236
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: what happened?

237
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 6: Right?

238
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 2: The Cubs stink. The Reds might be dead, but the

239
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: Cubs stink. I'd rather be dead than stink.

240
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna give you all the details on

241
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: everything a little bit about the college football weekend had

242
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: as well. The Checkdown coming up in a minute. We

243
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 1: got Stephen Holder coming your way at eight o'clock, Zack

244
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: Austerman at nine, and James Boyd and Kevin Bowen. Mark

245
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: Duck didn't gonna be her all morning long on ninety

246
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: three five one o seven.

247
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 7: The Morning Checkdown on ninety sweet five and one oh

248
00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 7: seven five the fa.

249
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome into ninety three five one. I

250
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: was seventy five the fan. The Las Vegas Aces turned

251
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: over the King and Ace last night and they beat

252
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: the Indiana Fever by the score roll there we go

253
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: right there, ninety to sixty eight. It was an eleven

254
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: point deficit for the Fever at halftime. James Boyd got

255
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: to within seven at one point. The second happened, really

256
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: Fever never really closed in on a big night in

257
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: a big rebound game for the world's best player, Asia Wilson.

258
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, Asia Wilson.

259
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 3: I thought she was typical NVP caliber player last night.

260
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 3: Alissa Smith, also former Fever player, former Fever draft pick,

261
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 3: actually number two in the draft a few years ago.

262
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: She had a career high in playoff points I believe

263
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 3: with eighteen and so tough loss for the Fever, But

264
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 3: you did.

265
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 4: What you were supposed to do.

266
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 3: You still went on the road and still have a

267
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 3: chance to come home Friday and take into.

268
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 4: The lead in the series.

269
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: Kevin, Asia Wilson twenty five points, nine rebounds, and she

270
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: just looked like the best player in the world last

271
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: time when you walked that game, moving easy through the

272
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: lane in her shots, mid range jumper, unbelievable. She looked like, hey,

273
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: whatever happened in game one, this is my home court.

274
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: I'm not letting you have it tonight.

275
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again I'll go back to the Aces guards.

276
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I know Melissa Smith, as James points out,

277
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: she definitely had a great game. But I thought early on,

278
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: you know, Chelsea Gray had that ball in a string.

279
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: Some of those passes in the first half was outstanding,

280
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: and Jewel Lloyd and Jackie Young and even Dane Evans,

281
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: I mean all three of them I thought contributed as

282
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: well to kind of build that early lead for the Aces.

283
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 2: So Friday night should be a hell of an environment

284
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: inside a gamebridge Field ascain. That's a seven thirty tip.

285
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: They'll come back. We know at least we'll get to

286
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: Game four in this series. That is Sunday, unfortunately during

287
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 2: the Colts game, and then we'll see if it gets

288
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 2: to a Game five. Here again, best of five series,

289
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: one to one. Right now, two bright spots. Lexi Hall

290
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 2: did go five of eleven from three point range. I

291
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: think that set a fever postseason three point field goals

292
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: in one game record, and Odyssey Simms continues to play

293
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 2: well eighteen point seven assists, and she just competes. I

294
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: know that there was a tough night for the Fever,

295
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: but a couple of bright spots there the Indianapolis Colts

296
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: and getting ready to go on the road themselves. They

297
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 2: will take on the Los Angeles Rams Sunday afternoon at

298
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 2: four five. James Boyd the.

299
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: Colts are three and a half point underdogs on the road.

300
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: That in itself, at least the betters are giving the

301
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: cults a little bit of respect right there.

302
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely they have earned it with where they've played

303
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 3: through the first three weeks. You can say you got

304
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 3: a little bit lucky there in Week two against the Broncos,

305
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 3: but the other two wins were I mean soundly defeated

306
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 3: some bad teams, and so people can say all the

307
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 3: competitions kind of week, what do you do against weak opponents?

308
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: You beat them down? And I thought that that's what

309
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 3: they've done through two games. And it's Kevin to pointed

310
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 3: out a couple times since the season started last year,

311
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 3: all eight of their wins were by one possession, and

312
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 3: then this year you already have two really big I

313
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 3: kind of just buck kickings on the resume already is

314
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 3: that respect.

315
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: Aren't they the underdog?

316
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: They are, but they're on the road. Usually it's about

317
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: a three point give if you're going on the road.

318
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: So I think that.

319
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 4: It's been a different quarterback or uh, well dummy.

320
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that they will their biggest underdog in

321
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 2: eight games. Yeah, so I don't know how much necessarily

322
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 2: respect that they're getting per se. But again, I can't

323
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: wait for Sunday.

324
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun. We will

325
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: return to work today for the Colts right as they

326
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: start to get ready for this basketball game. We will

327
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: tell you, yeah, football game. I was talking about the

328
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: you know it's Wednesday morning on James Boyd.

329
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: Your best Colts starting five in basketball would be what

330
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: Moley Cox?

331
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: I like that Jones?

332
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 3: Thanks for that Daniel Jones in there. I heard Daniel

333
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: Jones can really hoop. Okay, So I got Daniel Jones

334
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 3: and Molly Cox. Tyler Warren could scrap a little or no,

335
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 3: I don't know, I did that too many bigs. One

336
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 3: more tight end you go and Drew Ogwood Tree. I'll

337
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 3: probably rock with Tyler Warren. I feel like he just

338
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 3: good at everything. One of those types of kids growing.

339
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,479
Speaker 1: Up any of the linebackers.

340
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 4: No, I've heard Jalen Jones can play a little bit.

341
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, we need one more guards corner

342
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: or a white out.

343
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think could be somebody I would like.

344
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: Kenny Moore hounded my oppot. I'm gonna go.

345
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go Tyler Goodson.

346
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 3: And this is because growing up he played aau basketball

347
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 3: with Ben Shephard the Pacers.

348
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 5: I've got a dark horse rego because he's hardly punted,

349
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 5: so he's been working on.

350
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: His jump shot.

351
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 8: I like that.

352
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: Thank you for the football basketball shooter.

353
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: The Hawaiian out there.

354
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: Yes, I'll tell you what.

355
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 4: I'm not picking Alec Pierce.

356
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 3: He told me of you know, because his brother, younger

357
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: brother plays at Princeton or actually he just he's gonna

358
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 3: transfer after this year. But he played at Princeton and

359
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 3: his older brother played, I want to say, in North

360
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 3: Carolina years at North Carolina and then played professionally overseas.

361
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 3: And Alex told me he has to broke his jump

362
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: shot of his family.

363
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: One other game to note in the AFC, South Tennessee

364
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: plays at Houston. I know the Texans are looking to

365
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: get on the board. Both teams are oh and three,

366
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: and I think that Houston should win that game easily,

367
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: but James, if Tennessee somehow pulled off the upset, that

368
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: that's kind of it for the for the Texans this year. Right,

369
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: you don't start oh and four and come back to things.

370
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 3: No, you started oning for you you missed the playoffs.

371
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 3: I would actually like to see the stats on that,

372
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 3: because missing the playoffs is probably well, it has to

373
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 3: be like a ninety percent.

374
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: Clip right higher. I thought Owen three Houston did that

375
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen the Colts and then played a wild

376
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: game here at Lucas Soil and the colt and the

377
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: Texans did make the playoffs from Owen three and there

378
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: I think they were like one of the few older

379
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: than three teams.

380
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, all four I think is probably you're again looking

381
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 3: at where you're drafted next sprink.

382
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: Yes, Jacksonville is two to one so far, just a

383
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: game behind the Colts, but they play on the road

384
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: also out west against the San Francisco forty nine ers,

385
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: who may get Rock Perdy back for that game. Will

386
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: wait and see. This weekend college football, Indiana has been

387
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: made a seven and a half point favorite on the

388
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: road at Iowa, Notre Dame taking on Arkansas, another chance

389
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: to get healthy for the Golden Domers right there.

390
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: Boy, it's a great college football slate this weekend. Yeah,

392
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: you said, Jeff, a touchdown favorite in a place that

393
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: some teams that have been big favorites have gone and loss.

394
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: But boy, what a great, great slate You've got Oregon

395
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: and Penn State, probably the Marquie game, Bama Georgia, old

396

416
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 9: Still the Cadillac converter off of it.

417
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: You were talking a great rants. The Tommy THESORTA one

418
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: to me is all still the all time greatest. What

419
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: do I think of his performance? Dave Kingman, Mike Mike

420
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: uh Or? Who who am I thinking of? Again?

421
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 5: The Cardinals coach when the Denny Green I was saying,

422
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 5: Mike who they thought they were? Yeah, that was a

423
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 5: great one. You've got the h lee Elia Rant.

424
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 3: I mean certainly in our own backyard picking players Alan

425
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 3: iverson practice.

426
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: That's a great one too. We should do that later

427
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: on today, come up with some of the great great rants.

428
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: Do a March Madness bracket.

429
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 6: I like it.

430
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, it was a tough night for the

431
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Reds all the way around. They started the day

432
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: occupying the third and final wild card spot. They've now

433
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: got five games remaining after losing the Pittsburgh last night

434
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: four to two. That was tough because the Mets rallied

435
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: from a six to one deficit to beat the Cubs

436
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: nine to seven. So now the Mets are a game

437
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: in front of the resident. Remember, if the Reds end

438
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: up tied with the Mets, they have the tiebreaker on that.

439
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: But more bad news for the Reds last night that

440
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks have moved within a game as well of the

441
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: Reds as they beat the Dodgers last night by a

442
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: score of five to four. So it is just a

443
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: tough night for the Reds all the way around. Kevin

444
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: not good, not good at all.

445
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 2: Should I continue to play the card of their dead?

446
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 2: Is that good?

447
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: I got people tech line. I got people on text

448
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: line saying give us all of that, because I think

449
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: Matt said, you have single handedly brought them back into it.

450
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: Okay, reverse psychology. The Reds are dead. Go ahead and

451
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: play some audio mark for us.

452
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: No, they're dead. That's all you need to say. A trombone,

453
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: all right. The White Sox losing to the Yankees last

454
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: night by a score of three to two, and the

455
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: Cardinals won a wild one against the San Francisco Giants

456
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: by a score of nine to eight. Reds and Pirates

457
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: get going again to night at six forty. I like

458
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: those early start times, Thank you very much. Can we

459
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: have more six to forty starts? Mets and Cubs start

460
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: at eight o'clock tonight? Anything else you guys want to

461
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: throw in right now?

462
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. The paper news from yesterday, Monte more signed

463
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: to a one year deal. I think there's been some

464
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 2: rumor about, you know, when you sign a veteran gar.

465
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 2: I believe Tony East had it as a non guaranteed deal.

466
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: You know, it's the guy that's played certainly meaningful minutes

467
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: for legit teams in his NBA career thirty years old.

468
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 2: You know, I think anytime you are dealing with their

469
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 2: guard situation, you know, insurance for potentially a third point guard,

470
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 2: i'd assume them hard your starter, McConnell, your backup, Monte

471
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 2: Morris kind of figuring in as that emergency guy. Potentially

472
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 2: that could be how it plays out here. So we'll

473
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 2: we're starting training camp pretty soon. I mean we're less

474
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 2: than two weeks away from the first preseason game. That

475
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 2: was just crazy.

476
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 1: I was gonna bring up in the next chuck down

477
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: mcgraham from Maybe and said, you guys see that Thomas

478
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: Bryant signed with the Cavs.

479
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 10: I did.

480
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 2: Yes, We'll always have game sex, right.

481
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 3: James Boyd absolutely had a chance to talk to him

482
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 3: after that game, because very emotional and very excited. This

483
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 3: is a guy who's won a championship before, but was

484
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 3: just happy to be contributing this time around to helping

485
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 3: the Pacers get to the finals for the first time

486
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 3: in a very long time.

487
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: All right, coming up in just a minute, we'll talk

488
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: more Colts rams. If you missed it. The other day

489
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: during the eight o'clock hour, Jonathan Taylor joined us to

490
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: talk about a tremendous day that he and the Colts had,

491
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: and also we'll find out a little bit about some

492
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: of the rewards after touchdowns that he gets and what

493
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: he does with those things. As we continue on the

494
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: Fan Morning Show with James Boyd, Kevin Bowen, Mark Dyton

495
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: across the way, I'm jeff Rickard Moore in a moment

496
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: on ninety three five one oh seven five the Fan.

497
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: Good morning, and welcome into hop Day, Mark Dyton, as

498
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: we are getting ready to go for a it's been

499
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: an exciting week three and oh start for the Colts.

500
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: Now a four and oh start for the Hoosiers, the

501
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: Fever and the semi finals all even with the Las

502
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: Vegas Aces, things have gone pretty well, I would say,

503
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: and it's been a lot of fun and of course

504
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: huge game James Boyd from Jonavan Taylor. Again, he just

505
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: keeps racking those things up. How many one hundred yard

506
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: games did you say that in his career twenty four

507
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: to twenty five something like that.

508
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 3: I believe now he's at twenty six twenty six, so

509
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 3: he only trails edgend James for the most in Colts

510
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 3: history and obviously edges in the Hall of Fame. So

511
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 3: that is a good trajectory for a JT. I believe

512
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 3: it's six years into his career. So when he's healthy,

513
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 3: he is one of the best running backs on Earth.

514
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: I know, Kevin, you're kind of worried too about usage

515
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: with him, the way that Shane Stikeens just goes to

516
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: him and goes to him as goes to him. Do

517
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: they start to ease up on that or is this

518
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: just a Hey, we need him because he's our best

519
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: player and this makes us.

520
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 2: Go Yeah, definitely don't get the vibe they will ease

521
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: up at all. And you know Sunday's matchup. I think

522
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: so much of it is rooted in Okay, Matthew Stafford

523
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 2: against the Colts, et cetera, et cetera. You know, the

524
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: Rams did hold Saquon Barkley to an eagle low in

525
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 2: yards per Cary think it goes two point six for

526
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 2: Saquon on Sunday. That was the lowest he's had since

527
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 2: joining Philly. So obviously that is a big storyline coming

528
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 2: into Sunday because Taylor has been just outstanding and again,

529
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 2: particularly in second halves, that's when he has really opened

530
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 2: it up and hit a couple of big home runs,

531
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 2: and you know, oftentimes as it separates Taylor, you know,

532
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 2: it might just be kind of a ho home first two,

533
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 2: three quarters and then boom he runs through an arm

534
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 2: tackler in the third or the fourth quarter and that

535
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: makes a difference for his day. So will probably revolve

536
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 2: so much around Stafford and the Kenny Moore injury and

537
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 2: all that, And I get that, but don't honestly, don't

538
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 2: sleep on either running back. You know, I know one

539
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 2: of you, I forget brought up Kyen Williams earlier in

540
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: the week. You know, both Kien Williams and Jonathan Taylor

541
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 2: and this specific matchup against the Rams and the Colts.

542
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: Those are big storylines not to forget about either.

543
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 6: Yeah.

544
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: I had a chance to talk to Jonathan Taylor. We

545
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: did on Monday, the day after the big win over

546
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee on the road forty one to twenty. And for

547
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,479
Speaker 1: those who may have missed it in the eight o'clock

548
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: hour for seven o'clockers, here's a little bit of that

549
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: conversation Jonathan.

550
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 2: That second run, the cut, the spin, running through the

551
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 2: arm tackles. Where does that one rank in your favorite

552
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 2: NFL runs?

553
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 11: It's definitely up there, especially with it being a divisional opponent,

554
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 11: though you know those games are just they just mean

555
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 11: a little bit more because we know to achieve our

556
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 11: ultimate goal it starts in a division so it definitely

557
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 11: ranks in the top tier.

558
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 2: It was a little throwback to Wisconsin Day eighty four,

559
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: lining up at fullback leading you into that hole.

560
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 11: Definitely. It's been a while since I had a fullback,

561
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 11: you know, lined up in front of me, so it

562
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 11: definitely went back to the old days.

563
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: JT.

564
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 4: I've heard this for years from you.

565
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 3: You were talking about when Zach Moss was your team,

566
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 3: and you don't say his spin move, his spin move, Can.

567
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 4: We now say you have a spin move as well?

568
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 4: Because that was pretty sweet.

569
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 11: I think I definitely, you know, put enough work in

570
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 11: to try and add that to the repertoire.

571
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 6: So I think it's now officially in the repertoire.

572
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 4: Now, gotcha, And so we know that this was a

573
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 4: complete and total win.

574
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 3: But looking at where it starts with your quarterback, what

575
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,239
Speaker 3: have you seen from Daniel Jones for the first two

576
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 3: weeks of the season and the exceptional play that he's

577
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 3: provided at that position.

578
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 11: For you all, I think for Daniel, just how he

579
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 11: was able to come in and grasp the system so quickly,

580
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 11: but then applying at a high level. There are a

581
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 11: lot of smart quarterbacks in the league. They can go

582
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 11: to different places learn the system, but it's just something

583
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 11: about executing and executing the system that you have not

584
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 11: been in for a while at a high level, and

585
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 11: I think that's something that Daniel has been able to do,

586
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 11: which has been awesome. A duke guy, so of course

587
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 11: we know he's smart, but then you see him on

588
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 11: the field and now his athleticism takes over, his decision

589
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 11: making takes over, and you can see it just continues

590
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 11: to move the ball down the field.

591
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: Jatthan one more on the Daniel Jones front from me,

592
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 2: can you kind of speak and maybe take us behind

593
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 2: the scenes a little bit on what you've seen kind

594
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: of work ethic wise from him.

595
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 11: Daniel was always in the playbook. He's always thinking about

596
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 11: his checks. You're going in the building in the morning,

597
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 11: and you know it to be something that's up for today.

598
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 11: At the day at practice, said hey, JT, you know

599
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 11: when we run this team, I'm thinking about this check.

600
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 11: So just be ready for it. You know, if you

601
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 11: hear it, don't get caught by surprise. And you know

602
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 11: you're just walking in the building, didn't even grab your

603
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 11: breakfast yet. But he's already thinking about practice. So for him,

604
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 11: he's just so dialed into the details that whenever we

605
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 11: get a little look or whatever the situation is on Sunday,

606
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 11: we've already gone over it. We already know the plan

607
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 11: of execution. Then it's just about going and executed.

608
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 3: So jaysman and tell me, in the middle of you

609
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 3: grabbing your bacon, you have Dale Jones get the bacon. Yeah,

610
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 3: Jones trying to get the bank well, by the way,

611
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 3: you know, make sure you get this block right or whatever?

612
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 3: Is that how it kind of.

613
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 11: Goes, definitely, And there could be any scheme it's just

614
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 11: or there could be a call up that they just installed,

615
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 11: you know, with the quarterbacks or with the O line

616
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 11: that they were just discussing, and he wants to make

617
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 11: sure the running back room gets it before we head

618
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 11: out the practice, you know. So I'm going I'm telling coach,

619
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 11: I'm telling the other backs. Hey listen, if you guys

620
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 11: hear this, this is what it means. So those guys

621
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 11: are always constantly working to put us in the best

622
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 11: position for success.

623
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: Jon the Taylor joining us on the Payless Lookers Hotline

624
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: this morning after the Colts forty one twenty victory at

625
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: Tennessee yesterday. Obviously three and oh speaks for itself, the

626
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: scores speak for themselves. But it feels different. It looks

627
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: different from the past year or two. You're in that

628
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: locker room, you've seen the evolution. What is different.

629
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 11: I think it's the guys banding together and understanding that

630
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 11: the preparation each and every single day leading up it

631
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 11: too Sunday is what's going to propel us to the

632
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 11: win on Sunday. But Ultimately, when Sunday comes, it's about

633
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 11: the execution. You know, you could practice all day long,

634
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 11: you can go over things each and every single day,

635
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 11: rep after rep, But when Sunday comes, if you can't

636
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 11: apply what you've done in practice on the field and

637
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 11: prove yourself each and every single week, it really doesn't

638
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 11: mean anything. Perseverance means nothing if you're headed in the

639
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 11: wrong direction.

640
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 6: So for us, it's all.

641
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 11: About persevering in the right direction and understanding we got

642
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 11: to put a good product on the field each and

643
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 11: every single Sunday.

644
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 2: It's got the most rushing yards ever for a cult

645
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 2: through three games the start of season. He is Jonathan Taylor.

646
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: He's with us here, and of course there are quite

647
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 2: a few pretty good running backs that have put on

648
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 2: a Colt's uniform. JT with us here on the Payloft

649
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 2: Stickers hotline. Jonthan something that Zion Franklin said after game yesterday,

650
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: I know there are many times during practice, particularly when

651
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 2: the full pads come on in camp, where it is

652
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 2: a little running back versus linebacker drill. He feels like

653
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 2: you've made some big strides in the past protection element.

654
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 2: Would you agree with that? And what's that a focus

655
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 2: coming into this season.

656
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 11: Definitely, you always want to continue to elevate your game

657
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 11: each and every single year, even things that you're already

658
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 11: good at. That's how you stay sharp in those things.

659
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 11: So understanding there's a got a way to get better

660
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 11: every single year. If you think you've arrived, you've already lost.

661
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 11: So finding ways for me to continue to elevate my

662
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 11: game is something that I've always done. Especially in the offseason,

663
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 11: you look at what you've done well, which you didn't

664
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 11: do well that season, and then you have a game

665
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 11: plan to attack for the past offseason.

666
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 3: Jac when you look at your career, I know you

667
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 3: don't have time to look back often, especially when you're

668
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 3: in the moment, but how much does it mean to

669
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 3: you to be this far into your career and still

670
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 3: putting up these sort of performances and at a position

671
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 3: where people question is the running backs as valuable as

672
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 3: it was twenty years ago? To still be sustaining this

673
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 3: level of play? How much does that mean to you?

674
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 3: Just knowing the pride you have a playing running.

675
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 6: Back, it means a lot. That's something ever since you

676
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 6: know high school.

677
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 11: Then going into college, you know one of my mos

678
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 11: have just been being on the field and being a reliable,

679
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 11: a reliable player, one that they're coaches, one that my

680
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 11: teammates can trust and lean on. And that comes with

681
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 11: being available, and that comes with being consistent every time

682
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 11: you're out there, every time your number is called up.

683
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 11: Now it's kind of shifted and transition towards. You know,

684
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 11: you have to help the next generation. So I feel

685
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 11: like the guys who came before me has done a

686
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 11: great job, and then it was time for you know,

687
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 11: my generation to come in and try to continue to

688
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 11: carry that towards and then continue to do that so

689
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 11: that the younger generation could take it to an even

690
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 11: higher level.

691
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 2: Jonathan, last one for me, I appreciate the time early

692
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 2: on this Monday morning. If my math is right, you

693
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 2: had fifty five touchdowns at Wisconsin. I believe yesterday the

694
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 2: three score add up to sixty one now in your

695
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 2: NFL career, so that's more than one hundred touchdown balls.

696
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 2: Do you keep all of the touchdown balls? Do you

697
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 2: divvy them out?

698
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 12: What do you do?

699
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 2: I'm just picturing you with a giant tub in your

700
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 2: basement filled the touchdown balls.

701
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's kind of what it looks like. You always

702
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 6: want to keep those things.

703
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 11: Those are memories you look back, you know, right now,

704
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 11: while you're in the thick of it, you think, man,

705
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 11: I'm just I'm going out there, I'm trying to produce

706
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 11: for my team every week. But you know that later

707
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 11: down the line, when it's all said and done, those

708
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 11: are going to be sentimental to you. They're sentimental now,

709
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 11: but looking back there will be sentimental. So being able

710
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 11: to hold on to those and then you never know,

711
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 11: eventually you'll pick certain ones out. You want to get

712
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 11: them framed up, play somewhere in your home just so

713
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 11: that one day you know you're walking past and you

714
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 11: can have that memory of that weekend practice. You know

715
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 11: how hard it was, but then it all paid off

716
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 11: that week on Sunday. So you definitely have a lot

717
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 11: of those touchdown balls and hopefully a lot more coming.

718
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: If we showed up to your basement, are we allowed

719
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 2: to throw the balls around? Or is that a big

720
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: no no no, you never you can't mix the balls

721
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 2: up there.

722
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 6: You got each and every single year, so you don't

723
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 6: want to mix you know, twenty twenty two or twenty

724
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 6: twenty one, you don't want to mix them up.

725
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 2: You sure got to keep them in the order makes

726
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 2: totally beautiful.

727
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor Palos Slickers hotline earlier this week. He might

728
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: have another top of balls or two before it's all

729
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: said and done, because he's just going to keep scoring

730
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns and touchdowns and touchdowns. And I know when I

731
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: said that phrase, you immediately locked eyes with Mark dykeon link.

732
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 2: Did you get that?

733
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: Did you get that? But no, I love the fact

734
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: that he's going to have to have a whole wing

735
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: in his house for touchdown footballs.

736
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 2: Or to faint laugh in the corner of the studio.

737
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 2: It's curious what Mark Dyton might be laughing at. And

738
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: maybe it's the Cubs pitching lately.

739
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 4: For someone who's off the Reds bandwagon.

740
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: Here's something taking this morning.

741
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 2: Again, Jonathan Taylor. It's it's a career on the way

742
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 2: to Canton, Ohio. There's no doubt about it. And I

743
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 2: think it's a career that will age well. Given running

744
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 2: backs and that you know right now, quarterbacks it's tough

745
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 2: to sometimes, you know, Matthew Stafford, for example, you start

746
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 2: to compare his stats, it's like, well, you know, is

747
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 2: he all of Famer? I think he is, but you know,

748
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 2: it might look a little bit similar to other quarterbacks.

749
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: I think Jonathan Taylor, as you continue to move forward,

750
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 2: it will age like a fine wine.

751
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: Well just as a team, and mostly it's been Jonathan Taylor,

752
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: James Boyd. The Colts are third right now in the

753
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: league in total yards rushing, behind only the Bills and Commanders,

754
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: and it really has been kind of a one man

755
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: game for the Colts.

756
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, shout out to Nate Atkins.

757
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 3: I have to find this because he tweeted something out

758
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 3: yesterday and I'll see the former Colds beat Ryder now

759
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 3: with the Rams on the Rams beat.

760
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 4: Later this week.

761
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 3: But he tweeted out yesterday that here it is, JT

762
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 3: through three games has more rushing yards than the following

763
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 3: teams Cardinals, Chiefs, Saints, Patriots, Packers, Seahawks, Giants, Texans, Chargers, Panthers,

764
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers, Dolphins, Titans, Browns, Raiders, Steelers, Bengal.

765
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 2: Damn, that's like half the NFL is.

766
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I just couldn't believe that stat and how

767
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 3: ridiculous that is, honestly, and lets you know how talented

768
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 3: he is. And then I think going back to what

769
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 3: Kevin acts him on Monday, when it comes to the

770
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 3: past blocking and I'm actually sitting here right now, I

771
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 3: was listening to the interview and I'm going back through

772
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 3: some of the film. They didn't send a lot of

773
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 3: blitzes when he was on the field against the Titans,

774
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 3: but if you go back and look at the tape

775
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 3: against denver Man, he was balling from that aspect, I mean,

776
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 3: block after block. I went back and saw some big

777
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 3: catches that third and seven that they had to get

778
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 3: across midfield and eventually set up the game winning field

779
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 3: goal for Special Trader. On that play, you have JT

780
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 3: picking up a nice block there right to right in

781
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 3: the middle of the field to give Daniel Jones just

782
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 3: enough time to get rid of the ball. So hats

783
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 3: off to him. I think it is impressive when you

784
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 3: see a guy be six years in and still getting better.

785
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 3: You hear that from players, but honestly, I mean, six

786
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 3: years in, usually you plateau whoever you've been is kind

787
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 3: of who you are. But I think JT, this version

788
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 3: of him we're seeing is the best version we've seen

789
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 3: so far, and that is you know, I get it,

790
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 3: it's only three games, but this three game stretch best

791
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 3: I've seen that's for a guy who was First team

792
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 3: All Pro on twenty twenty one.

793
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: You also talk about some team stats as I was

794
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: looking this up last night, in terms of total touchdowns

795
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: right now, teams at the top you would expect, right.

796
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: Ravens have scored fourteen touchdowns. The Lions have scored thirteen.

797
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: Twelve of them I think came against the Bears. Didn't

798
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: they mark something.

799
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 11: Like that.

800
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: Twelve?

801
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 4: Couple of balls over here?

802
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: Twe twelve? Yeah, you'll never hear that one about. It

803
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: was very well done, Jeff. Twelve touchdowns for the Bills.

804
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: The Colts are fourth in the NFL right now in

805
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: total touchdowns, and I know they've had defensive touchdowns as well,

806
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: but they just score right now. And we've talked about

807
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: all the field goals that Spencer Strader has been able

808
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: to kick and being fourth in total touchdowns in the

809
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: NFL for the Colts. It's only three games, get it.

810
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: But they're moving a ball up and down a field. Kevin,

811
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: there's just no question about it.

812
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 2: And Greedy changed that. I come and say we should

813
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 2: have more given the red zone success. And that's the

814
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 2: thing about the Colts. Austin so crazy. You could sit

815
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 2: here and say, wow, they're not going to continue to

816
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 2: move it at that historic rate. But yet, if you're

817
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 2: red zone right now, in the red zone, I want

818
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 2: to say, they're twenty six in the NFL. If you

819
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 2: could just get to average, maybe you don't move up

820
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 2: and down the field as religiously as you are. Maybe

821
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 2: Rigoberto Sanchez is actually used to punt an extra time

822
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 2: or two. But if you can take a couple of

823
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 2: those red zone drives that are ending in Spencer Schrader

824
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 2: kicking from thirty four yards and turn that into seven

825
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 2: instead of three, the score might still be the same

826
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 2: for you. So that's where I think right now, it's like, Okay,

827
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 2: you know, is this real? Is this a fluke? You

828
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 2: know what can sustain? As James Boyd accurately pointed out

829
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 2: earlier in the show, the competition is certainly going to

830
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 2: increase and you're not going to play as Jokeovic teams

831
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: as you've played so far. But you're beating the you

832
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 2: know what out of them, and that does not happen again.

833
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 2: The Holts right now through three games have won two

834
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: games by at least twenty points. They hadn't done that

835
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 2: since the twenty twenty one season. I mean, you got

836
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 2: to go back three full years, three full years plus

837
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 2: to find a time that they've done that, and they've

838
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 2: done it twice here in the first three weeks.

839
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: His fan morning show with Kevin Bowen, James Boyd, Mark

840
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 1: Dyke to Daim jeff Rickard Trevor from North Carolina, Texan

841
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: on the fan text line at two three nine ten

842
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: seventy we were asking about oh and four teams. James

843
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: the nineteen ninety two Chargers. He went and looked this up.

844
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: Are the only team that he can find online that

845
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: started the season oh to four and still made the playoffs.

846
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: They won eleven straight games after going oh to four,

847
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: finished eleven and five and did make the playoffs. So

848
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: it's it's possible, but not likely.

849
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that Texans team that I'm watching right now, they're

850
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 3: not winning eleven games in a row, So you gotta

851
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 3: start attacking some wins up. And I think what I'm saying,

852
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 3: I know people have questions about c J.

853
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 2: Strout.

854
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 3: I think one of the bigger issues just he has

855
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 3: nobody forecting them right now, and it's hard to play

856
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 3: quarterback in this league. I'm not saying anything that's you know,

857
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 3: not obvious, but when you're a pressure on your face constantly,

858
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 3: it's hard to play go football.

859
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: Well, the Texans got their own troubles this week. They

860
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: just need to take their business against Tennessee Titans, get

861
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: themselves on the board. But if the Colts just keep

862
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 1: winning games, not gonna matter what anybody else does, obviously,

863
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,479
Speaker 1: And so we'll see what happens Sunday afternoon in Los

864
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: Angeles four h five and James Wood you will be there, correct.

865
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's part of the jobs. I'll be going on

866
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,959
Speaker 4: a flight Saturday afternoon, all.

867
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: Right for just joining us and waking up this morning

868
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: and maybe didn't stay up last night. It was a

869
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 1: rough night for the Indiana Fever. They lose last night

870
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: ninety sixty eight on the road in Las Vegas. And

871
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: Asia Wilson, the best player in the world, came to

872
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 1: play last night along with a couple of her teammates.

873
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: But she was dominant twenty five points nine rebounds.

874
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was great. Honestly. I think what bother me

875
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 2: the most though, was Stace's others really really stepping up

876
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 2: for them.

877
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 6: Man.

878
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 2: You know, again, they're very talented team around her. But

879
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 2: Melissa Smith can't be doing that against her former team

880
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 2: if the Fever are going to make this a legit,

881
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 2: legit series. She was really good. And again their guards,

882
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 2: which I mean they are a decorated guard.

883
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 3: Through say, they got a bunch of Olympians and Hall

884
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 3: of Famers, But for those that haven't.

885
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 2: Been following off Joe Lloyd's coming off the bench right

886
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 2: and she came off the bench right away, boom hits

887
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 2: a three right in front of her coach, And I

888
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 2: thought Chelsea Gray just had full control of what they

889
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 2: were doing offensively and through some passes that honestly, you know,

890
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 2: little Caitlyn Clark asked with some of the boldness with

891
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 2: their passes and it worked.

892
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 4: Tennis, she was really really good.

893
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 2: So one one now he got the split, and uh boy,

894
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta feel like the winner came three

895
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 2: wins the series, right, I mean, I mean, it is

896
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,959
Speaker 2: just best of three at this point, and the Fever

897
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 2: have home court, but it almost feels like that much

898
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 2: is at stake come Friday nights.

899
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: I'm curious because we got to the game a little

900
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: bit late on ESPN last night because there was an

901
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: overtime game in the other playoff matchup between Phoenix and Minnesota.

902
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 1: But that was a really compelling game. I mean, Phoenix

903
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: got a late three to send it to overtime. Then

904
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: they got off to a quick start in overtime, and

905
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: I know it was late getting to the Fever, and

906
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: the Feever were already kind of behind at that point

907
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: in time. But I like watching games that go into overtime. James,

908
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 1: I don't know about you.

909
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 3: I was ready to watch the Fever. I was hoping

910
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 3: that they will I put on a different channel. But

911
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 3: that game was crazy.

912
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: I didn't see that. I didn't see that.

913
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 3: I missed that, and so I finished out the Mercury game,

914
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 3: and I just think it's dumb when you're up three

915
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 3: less than twenty seconds ago and you're not fouling. I mean,

916
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 3: there's so many more variables that have to not go

917
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,479
Speaker 3: your way for you to lose. If you do foul

918
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 3: and you're up three, I only get his two free

919
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 3: throws versus if you give them one shot to tie

920
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 3: the game. And so I thought the Links deserved that

921
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 3: loss because that was to a basketball to do. A

922
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 3: basketball shouldn't get rewarded. I like the fact that the

923
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 3: city continues to embrace quality. And you know, I was

924
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 3: out taking my lunch walk yesterday around downtown Indianapolis and

925
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 3: I counted three different guys where one was wearing a

926
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 3: Fever hat, one was wearing a Caitland Clark T shirt,

927
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 3: and the other one had a T shirt on covered

928
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,959
Speaker 3: by a Caitland Clark jersey. This city has just really

929
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 3: embraced this w NBA team and has fallen in love

930
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 3: with it. You see the energy at the home games,

931
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 3: even after Caitlyn Clark missed so much time this year.

932
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 3: It's just a lot of fun to see the enthusiasm

933
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 3: continuing and continuing here.

934
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: I dig it.

935
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I mean everything changed when Kaitlyn got drafted. Certainly,

936
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 3: don't want to dismiss that, but yeah, to your point, Jeff,

937
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 3: people have stuck around even though she's been injured and

938
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 3: wanting the point play again this year. And I think

939
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 3: it's really cool from just a personal standpoint for those

940
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 3: who really were Fever fans prior to all of the

941
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 3: Kaitlyn Clark fandom arriving here, which was a good thing

942
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 3: for the city. Don't get me wrong, but Kelsey's been

943
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 3: through so much with this franchise. She's been open about that,

944
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 3: more open, I think recently than ever before because of

945
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 3: the success she's had now. And yeah, it's fun to

946
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 3: see that sort of perseverance payoff, especially in like this

947
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 3: type of city, this type of town. We pride ourselves

948
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 3: on being the blue collar sort of nature and she's

949
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 3: certainly that. And then getting back to the series itself.

950
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 3: The best thing about the playoffs, and it's so cliche,

951
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 3: but it's also very true. You can get blown out

952
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 3: and it's still won one. So I mean, you flush it,

953
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 3: you get back to it. And also shout out to

954
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 3: Lexi Hall as well. I know she's questioning about the

955
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,240
Speaker 3: back injury. Came out, toughed it out as I probably

956
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 3: knew she would, and not nailed five threes, which Jeff

957
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 3: point out earlier ties a franchise playoff record. She actually

958
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 3: tied Katie Douglass and a few other shouts Katy Douglass,

959
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 3: another Indiana basketball legend.

960
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: Shit, ye, a big collision last night. I can't remember

961
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: who it was with, but there was one point I

962
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: think Beckyammit ended up getting a technical foul because she

963
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: thought Lexi had had done something. But it looked to

964
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: me like two people just ran into each other.

965
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's my biggest grap with that game.

966
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 3: Kevin watching that game back, it was horrible as far

967
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 3: as the officiated physicality both coaches.

968
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it was horrible.

969
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought, and frankly, I think that's kind of

970
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 2: part for the course with how the w usually goes.

971
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's my biggest gripe.

972
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 3: It's not like I don't think it's a Fever thing

973
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 3: or when Kaitlyn was playing, Oh it's a Kaitlyn thing.

974
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 3: I actually believe the w BA is just too physical

975
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 3: because like what we saw last night, we would never

976
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 3: see that in the NBA. I mean, you're not hitting

977
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 3: Lebron and Steph Curry like this on a nightly basis.

978
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the Fever come back home, they got the

979
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: split tied up at one. The Colts get ready to

980
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: go to Los Angeles to see if they can keep

981
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: this wind streak going. We'll talk about it all in

982
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 1: a minute. Stephen Holder stops by as we continue on

983
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: The Fan Morning Show ninety three five and one seven

984
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: five The Fan Wednesday, kind of the day We're gonna

985
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: catch our breath. Obviously, we had the Colts all day Sunday,

986
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: we had the Hoosiers and Notre Dame and Purdue playing

987
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 1: on Saturday, and then the Colts on Sunday. Then we

988
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: have Monday night football WNBA playoffs all going on, and

989
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,280
Speaker 1: today we can all kind of catch our breath. Nothing

990
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: going on tonight unless you're a Reds fan. But we

991
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: get back to Colts. You don't get back nothing going on.

992
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: We get the Cubs, but the Colts coming up on

993
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon again and they're in Los Angeles, will be

994
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: James Boyd and all. So our next guest Stephen Holder

995
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: from ESPN, who joins us on the Paylesslickers hotline this morning.

996
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: I know it's back to work for you during the

997
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: day today, but do you take it a little bit

998
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: of a deep breath Tuesday and Wednesday?

999
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 6: Steven, Yeah, I mean I caught the fever last night.

1000
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 12: But I'm sure they'll be like, you know, some kind

1001
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,479
Speaker 12: of Mac football game on tonight or something.

1002
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 6: I don't know.

1003
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 12: I'm sure there's something if you're really looking for it.

1004
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 12: But I might just go to better early because I

1005
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:25,479
Speaker 12: think I need some rest.

1006
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. We've all been watching sports and

1007
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 1: it's fun, and at some point you just got to

1008
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: take a quick break, but no breaks for Shane Steichen

1009
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: and the Colts. They're back to work. Because I mentioned

1010
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: earlier today, what about this team at three and zero?

1011
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: Do you believe in them yet? Should people start truly

1012
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: believing that this could be one of the best teams

1013
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL.

1014
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 12: They have passed the test so far. I think the

1015
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 12: real buy in comes after this weekend. I think this

1016
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 12: is their biggest test yet. There are some questions that

1017
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 12: they have to answer. And this is not being negative,

1018
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 12: this is just reality, right. I mean, there are there

1019
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 12: are some one and two and zero and three teams

1020
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 12: out there that are obviously better than their record, and

1021
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 12: so the question then becomes, you know, are the Colts

1022
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 12: what they have shown so far at three and oh?

1023
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 12: Look the two of their opponents. Let's be honest, you know,

1024
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 12: the Dolphins and Titans probably not going anywhere fast this year.

1025
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 12: So the big test I think comes Sunday, both for

1026
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 12: Daniel Jones and for the defense, which you know has

1027
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 12: I think, you know, kind of been living a little

1028
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 12: dangerously if you look at that Broncos game, Steven, When.

1029
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,280
Speaker 3: I look at some of the numbers from Daniel Jones

1030
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 3: and actually I got a message from one of my

1031
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 3: coworkers at the Athletic Yes, they're like, hey, we're doing

1032
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 3: some sort of early season not like a poll, but

1033
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 3: it was kind of like, hey, can you give us

1034
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 3: a quot about Daniel Jones and why he has a

1035
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 3: case for MVP so far through three games?

1036
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 2: And I'm like, wait what?

1037
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 3: And then you look at the numbers and it backs

1038
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,439
Speaker 3: everything up. You know, he's I'm looking at his numbers

1039
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 3: right now. He's third in passing y'all, fourth through piece

1040
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 3: of percentage third and passer rating in first and EPA

1041
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 3: per play. So when I say all of that, what

1042
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 3: is your reaction to having a quarterback in Indianapolis not

1043
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 3: name paid Mann and Andrew Luck playing at that level?

1044
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 12: I mean, I think I should buy a lottery ticket

1045
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 12: for one, because for this to work out the way

1046
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 12: it has, I don't even think Shane Steichen, in a

1047
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 12: moment of complete honesty, would tell us that he thought

1048
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 12: it would be going this well. But I think where

1049
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 12: it's interesting for me is you and I have had

1050
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 12: this conversation and KB like we all agreed, like, okay,

1051
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 12: there's a possibility of this working Like before the season,

1052
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 12: you know, there's the possibility of this working. But the scenario,

1053
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:47,959
Speaker 12: the way I saw it, this is what I've told people.

1054
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 12: The way I saw this working, if this had a

1055
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 12: productive outcome, was Daniel Jones plays well, but it's really

1056
00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 12: about everybody around him. Okay, the receivers play out of

1057
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 12: their minds, Jonathan Taylor out of his mind, offensive line,

1058
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 12: great defense, spectacular. I thought he would be the guy

1059
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 12: who just kind of helped bring it together and didn't

1060
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,399
Speaker 12: screw it up. Instead, what we have is a little

1061
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 12: bit of the opposite. We have everybody else playing pretty well,

1062
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 12: and then Daniel Jones is just off the charts. So

1063
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 12: I don't understand this at all, and it's not what

1064
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 12: I expected. And anybody who says they expected this, they

1065
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,280
Speaker 12: are a freaking liar. I don't believe.

1066
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:32,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and honestly, alight detector, mister missus Jones. Frankly for that, Stephen,

1067
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 2: the best aspect to Daniel Jones through three weeks, Have

1068
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 2: you had a pinpoint on one thing, what would it be?

1069
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 12: You know, his accuracy is really impressive. I gotta say,

1070
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 12: like I did not. I mean, look, I didn't watch

1071
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 12: all all of his games the past six seasons, right,

1072
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 12: so none of us were experts on Daniel Jones, so

1073
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 12: let me preface it by saying that, but he has

1074
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 12: thrown with such act curacy on the contested throws, I mean,

1075
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 12: the tight window throws. That is just impressive to me.

1076
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 12: So that's the main thing. I think. The other thing

1077
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 12: that he's been most impressive with is just his ability

1078
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 12: to stand in the pocket calmly.

1079
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 6: His wife.

1080
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 12: I've said this repeatedly. When he was under duress in

1081
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 12: New York the play was over, okay, he just really

1082
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 12: didn't react well to pressure, and he was under a

1083
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 12: lot of pressure because his offensive line was very bad.

1084
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 12: Now there has been pressure at times here, but he's

1085
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 12: just handled it differently, and I think it's because, again,

1086
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:44,240
Speaker 12: he is so confident and he's not playing scared because

1087
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 12: he trusts his protection and he trusts his coach, he

1088
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 12: trusts everything around him. That he's just playing with a

1089
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 12: different level of comfort and he's just a different guy.

1090
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 3: Frankly, you want me to throw this sta at you,

1091
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 3: Steven Holder, because I found this yesterday. I really couldn't

1092
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 3: believe his read back. So Daniel Jones against the Blitz

1093
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 3: this season, he's twenty seven to forty three through the

1094
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 3: air for a league high four hundred and fifteen yards

1095
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,919
Speaker 3: and a touchdown. Like that is not the Daniel Jones

1096
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 3: you remember from New York.

1097
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 4: I mean, the the recipe, the rattlehamn awful blitz him.

1098
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1099
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 2: For me, it's the no negative plays, which I think

1100
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 2: the blitz stat kind of plays into that. James Steven

1101
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 2: It's like Daniel Jones has had some moments in his career,

1102
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 2: but the negatives have always been there. You know, it's

1103
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 2: almost like one step forward, two steps back.

1104
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 4: He turned over almost at a one to one right turn.

1105
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 2: Your sacks, however you want to label the negative plays.

1106
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 2: I think if I had a pinpoint one thing, that

1107
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 2: would be at zero turnovers and two sacks through three games.

1108
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 2: I mean, that's absurd for any NFL quarterback, no matter

1109
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 2: what the schedule looks like.

1110
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean I just think overall, I don't think anyone,

1111
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 12: like I said, no one could have predicted this, But

1112
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 12: I think when you just look at how clean he's

1113
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 12: played and just how not only is that you make

1114
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 12: a good point how clean he's play, but also the

1115
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 12: fact that like they're not they're not hiding him, like

1116
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 12: they're coming out in games, and they're like, past, past, past, past, Oh,

1117
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 12: let's run the ball comes right. I mean, they're putting

1118
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 12: the game on him. I mean that's the part that

1119
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 12: is just equally stunning about all of this. Like they're

1120
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 12: not saying, all right, let's let's see, how can we

1121
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 12: not screw this up? No, no, no, no no. They're like,

1122
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 12: we're gonna go and we're gonna throw the ball whenever

1123
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 12: and against whoever we want to. And Daniel Jones is

1124
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 12: the quarterback that's never been said before. That's amazing to me.

1125
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: Stephen Holder joining us on the Paylesslockers hotline. Obviously a

1126
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: lot of the credit for this offensive success goes to

1127
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: the offensive line and what they've been able to do.

1128
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: But my favorite play, Stephen for Tyler Warren so far.

1129
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: And I had that first big week this past in

1130
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: Week one, but this past week on that forty six

1131
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: yard touchdown run that Jonathan Taylor was a beast on.

1132
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen unless Tyler Warren makes a big block

1133
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: just about two or three yards down field, kind of

1134
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: on the edge there. How's he doing as a rookie

1135
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: tight end on the line.

1136
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 12: You know, Actually, the blocking has been pretty impressive. He's

1137
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 12: been in some situations where he's been matched up with

1138
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 12: some pretty good pass rushers or just good defensive players generally,

1139
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 12: and he is doing the job. That's the one area

1140
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 12: of his game that if you had a question and

1141
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 12: you could maybe say the jury is out, that was it.

1142
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 12: I'm talking coming into the season because you know, we

1143
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 12: just didn't know. But he's actually handled himself very well.

1144
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 12: And I think that power that power play, that ISO

1145
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 12: play that that Jonathan Taylor scored on. I mean maybe

1146
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 12: you guys have mentioned this earlier in the week, but

1147
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 12: Shasetiken told us about that, you know, sort of confidence

1148
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 12: on Friday, and it was so interesting, like he was

1149
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 12: he was pumped up for it in large part because

1150
00:49:58,080 --> 00:49:59,919
Speaker 12: Tyler Warren was going to be the one lead block.

1151
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 12: You know, think about that, this guy who is getting

1152
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 12: all these accolades for being just a great receiver and

1153
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 12: the plays that he's making in the passing game. The

1154
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 12: thing that Shane Stacken was really excited about was like, Oh,

1155
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 12: we're going to go get him on the linebacker and

1156
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 12: he's going to make this play for us. And he did.

1157
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 12: He absolutely did.

1158
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 3: Steven we were debating this earlier this week whether or

1159
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 3: not the Colts to try Anthony Richardson in the red zone,

1160
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 3: mainly because of all the offensive success the Colts have had.

1161
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 3: They are twenty sixth I believe in red zone success rate,

1162
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 3: which in English means how many times they gets to

1163
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,879
Speaker 3: the red zone and score a touchdown, So twenty six

1164
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 3: in the league. Would you put Anthony Richardson in there

1165
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 3: to try to be more efficient in that area?

1166
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 12: HM, It's tempting, that's for sure. I still think it's unlikely. Now,

1167
00:50:56,320 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 12: that's not the question though you're asking what I I

1168
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 12: think it depends if we're talking about running like read

1169
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 12: option down there, I do it. I think if you're

1170
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 12: talking about, you know, giving him a situation where he's

1171
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 12: throwing the ball, I think Daniel Jones is a better

1172
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 12: option right now. I mean, just to be completely frank,

1173
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 12: but I think if you if you want to consider

1174
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 12: the read option down there, that gives them some some options.

1175
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 12: They are definitely problematic. Their offense has been problematic in

1176
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,720
Speaker 12: the red zone, and I think when you talk about

1177
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 12: the good competition you're going to have to play. I mean,

1178
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 12: if you if you want to win the division and

1179
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 12: you want to get in the playoffs and win. Well,

1180
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 12: you got to beat you know, quality football teams. So

1181
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:43,879
Speaker 12: the success rate that they're having in the red zone

1182
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 12: right now is not going to cut it. That is

1183
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,399
Speaker 12: not going to cut it. Again, that the bar has

1184
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 12: been raised. So we're not talking about them like, oh,

1185
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 12: you know, maybe they can make a wild card this year. No,

1186
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,359
Speaker 12: we're talking about them in terms of like, all right,

1187
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 12: let's go win the division. That is basically where this

1188
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 12: is now, right, So if that's what we're talking about,

1189
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 12: then we got to talk about them in such a

1190
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 12: way and we got to raise that bar. So they

1191
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 12: have to be better in the red zone and maybe

1192
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 12: they do need to consider that that read option that

1193
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 12: he can give them down there. Anthony Richardson, it's pretty unstoppable,

1194
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 12: so especially with Jonathan Taylor involved, So I'm interested to

1195
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 12: see if they would they would do it.

1196
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 3: One more for you, Stephen Holder, And again Stephen Holder

1197
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 3: covers the calls for ESPN joining us here on the

1198
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 3: payoffs liquers Hotline, Steven, it sounds like Kenny Moore will

1199
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 3: not be available this upcoming Sunday in LA. It sounds

1200
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 3: like Alec Pierce might not be available either. He's in

1201
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 3: a concussion protocol. With both those you know, potential absences,

1202
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 3: what do you think will be the bigger loss for

1203
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 3: this team? And also what do you think Mike Hilton,

1204
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 3: in particular at that cornerback spot could poticially bring to

1205
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 3: this franchise.

1206
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:54,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, that is It's not great timing, no question about that.

1207
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 12: Those are two big injuries. I think Alex Pearce he

1208
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 12: was on his way to being the leading receiver in

1209
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,439
Speaker 12: that game the way on Sunday before he got hurt,

1210
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 12: so uh and it was very I think heartening to

1211
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 12: see him being used in a variety of ways, which

1212
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:12,760
Speaker 12: maybe he hasn't gotten enough opportunities to do. But anyhow,

1213
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,760
Speaker 12: the one that hurts the most I think maybe kennymore frankly,

1214
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 12: just because you know, you have Sean McVay on the

1215
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 12: other side, and if there's anybody who's who's good at

1216
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 12: creating favorable matchups, I mean it's that guy, you know.

1217
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 12: So I think this is a tough that's a tough

1218
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 12: thing for the Colts to have to deal with.

1219
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 6: On the fly.

1220
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 12: Is particularly if it's Mike Hilton, you know, is he

1221
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 12: is he ready to roll?

1222
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 7: Is he.

1223
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 12: Is he going to be up to speed?

1224
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 6: On all the verbiage and all that.

1225
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 12: Probably, but but I think there's at least some questions

1226
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 12: there is he in shape all those things right? That

1227
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 12: one for me is concerning just because I think Amy Mitchell,

1228
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 12: who would have to sub for Alec Pearce. He's started

1229
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 12: up okay okay, And I've been no one's been harder

1230
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 12: on a than I have, because I think his in

1231
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 12: game performance has been has fallen so flat compared to

1232
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 12: his practice performance. But I think the job he's done

1233
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:12,240
Speaker 12: early on, I think I give him, give him an opportunity.

1234
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 12: I think he I think he has in him. He's

1235
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 12: showing that he's up to the task so far.

1236
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 1: Steven.

1237
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 2: Last one for me, I feel like so much of

1238
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 2: Sunday and I do want to acknowledge there are a

1239
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 2: lot of factors to Sunday. First off, I think it's

1240
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 2: a great challenge on both sides. I mean, I think

1241
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 2: the Rams will say the same thing about the Colts

1242
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 2: given Jonathan Taylor and Daniel Jones, and again we talked

1243
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 2: so much about Matthew Stafford. Kyle Williams is a damn

1244
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 2: good running back as well. So much of it boils

1245
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 2: down to can the Colts get pressure with four like

1246
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 2: I just especially the Kenny More injury. I just sit

1247
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 2: there and think, can you disrupt Matthew Stafford's timing and

1248
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 2: he gets the ball out very quick? What do you

1249
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 2: look at as the biggest key for Sunday.

1250
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 12: I think, really it's that I think they're going to

1251
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 12: be able to make some plays offensively. They have, They

1252
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 12: have a lot of talent on that side of the ball,

1253
00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 12: and their efficiency was run and pass right now, I

1254
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 12: think the likelihood that the Rams can shut down both

1255
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 12: aspects I think is probably unlikely. So for me, the

1256
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 12: big question is what is the defense going to do.

1257
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:16,240
Speaker 12: I didn't think we'd be sitting here having more questions

1258
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 12: about the defense in the offense, but here we are.

1259
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 12: And I'm not saying this is a bad defense, it's not.

1260
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 12: But that pass rush. Look, I think you have to

1261
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 12: not discount but or ignore, but you definitely have to

1262
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,839
Speaker 12: not put as much emphasis on weeks one and three.

1263
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 12: Week two against Denver, that's the one that bugs me

1264
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 12: because they could not get home. They just could not

1265
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 12: vow Nicks at all day. And that was the best

1266
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 12: offensive line they have played, really the only good offensive

1267
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 12: line they have played, and so they're going to face

1268
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 12: another one on Sunday, and they're going to face a

1269
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 12: quarterback who is not going to be phased. You can't

1270
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 12: blitz this guy and face him. You can collapse the pocket.

1271
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 12: You're not going to face him. He's tough like this

1272
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 12: is going to be the test. And so far are

1273
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 12: that that defensive line. I think there is still out

1274
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 12: and they've got they have too much money invested and

1275
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 12: too many draft picks invested in that defensive life. They

1276
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 12: got a produced period.

1277
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,320
Speaker 1: Steven Older, you put a period on that conversation. We

1278
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,800
Speaker 1: appreciate you stopping by. Thanks has always enjoy whatever the

1279
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 1: evening brings you, and we will see you.

1280
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 12: Soon, all right, see you guys.

1281
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 3: Every sound that sounds like we're about to you know.

1282
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 3: Matter of fact, Mark cut the cud the lines down

1283
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:30,719
Speaker 3: a little bit.

1284
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, set the mood. We had started by talking about

1285
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 1: what he might be watching for sports on TV tonight.

1286
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 1: Hey go Martin.

1287
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 2: I was trying to transition to something else, but boy,

1288
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 2: it's hard to follow that.

1289
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: What did you want to transition to?

1290
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 4: Steven ono velvet robe? I feel like he does. He's

1291
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 4: cool enough, best dressed down to beat.

1292
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 2: Hello, welcome much James Boyd. But I don't want that

1293
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 2: to sound as a backhand accomplished clean He's in a

1294
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 2: different strategy. He can give him that a dress. That

1295
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 2: last comment by Steven, you're you've invested too much into

1296
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 2: your D line not to have more of a disruptive

1297
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:04,959
Speaker 2: pass rush.

1298
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 4: So for me agree, you have a second round pick

1299
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 4: that's not playing right.

1300
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 2: You can point in a lot of money, you know,

1301
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 2: he mentioned that too, Monny aspect to it. I mean,

1302
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:14,319
Speaker 2: you look at how much Quidy pays making, how much

1303
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 2: Sampson neb comes making, how much Grover Buckner.

1304
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 3: You know, the list goes on and on, not just

1305
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 3: the draft picktures. Honestly, to me, it's not the d tackles.

1306
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 3: I think Grover and DeForest Buckner have done what they're

1307
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 3: supposed to do.

1308
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 4: It's the endplay.

1309
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:28,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that elements a Sunday to me is just vital. Again,

1310
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to probably commit more to coverage given

1311
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 2: your injury situation. Uh And Matthew Stafford, I think it's

1312
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 2: the third fastest of any quarterback in the league. He

1313
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 2: gets the ball out. How do you disrupt that timing? Again,

1314
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 2: that's rush and cover, you know, I thought, honestly, some

1315
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 2: of the four sacks, and I got the impression yesterday

1316
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 2: James that loui Ana Roumo is not maybe as worried

1317
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 2: about the pass rush as some others.

1318
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 11: You know.

1319
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 2: He was pretty quick to point out the four sacks

1320
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 2: against cam Board, and I get it. Four sacks in

1321
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 2: a vacuum looks pretty good. Yeah, I think some of

1322
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 2: that is a rookie quarterback. I thought your coverage contributed

1323
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 2: to some of it. And I just think pass rushing

1324
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 2: cam Board and pass rushing Matthew Stafford are two totally

1325
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 2: different animals. Yes, Stafford's more of a stationary guy, but

1326
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 2: at the same time, his identification, his ability to get

1327
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 2: the ball out quick and Poka Nakua and DeVante Adams,

1328
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 2: those are all different animals.

1329
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm glad you bring that up, because at just about

1330
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: every offensive skill position, they're going to be playing the

1331
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 1: best players they've played to date this season. Matthew Stafford

1332
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 1: is the best quarterback that they have played so far.

1333
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 1: I would say Kyvid Williams is the best running back

1334
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: they will have played so far, and without question, the

1335
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 1: top two wide receivers they will have played so far

1336
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: are nikoua andte DeVante Adams. They got a lot to

1337
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: handle defensively.

1338
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were, James, I don't know if you were

1339
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 2: in on this, you are a little bit more paying

1340
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 2: attention than I am. But we were bored at practice

1341
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 2: the other day and we somehow had the conversation of

1342
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 2: what are some of the greater individual performances you've seen

1343
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 2: from a Colts player in person and or a player

1344
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 2: against the Colts in your time covering the team Colts individually.

1345
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 2: I always go back to Reggie Waye at the Orange

1346
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 2: Gloves twenty twelve. Everything that went into that game, Bruce

1347
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 2: arians first game as head coach, Chuck Wagono, you know,

1348
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 2: game ball delivered to him, et cetera, et cetera. But

1349
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 2: one of the better individual performances I've seen from an

1350
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 2: opponent was Pokinakua two years ago inside of lukosaol Stadium.

1351
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 2: And that was still early Puka, Like, yeah, and Cooper

1352
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 2: Cup was not playing in that game, and for Pokinakua

1353
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 2: to take over that game again, it was still the

1354
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 2: you know, who's this? What was he a fourth rounder?

1355
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 2: Fifth rounder? I mean like it's not like this was,

1356
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 2: you know, Marvin Harrison Junior walking into the NFL here,

1357
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,479
Speaker 2: and for him to have had that performance, I forget

1358
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 2: the exact numbers, but they were eye popping. He had

1359
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 2: the game winner in overtime there, and now you throw Adams,

1360
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 2: who doesn't look like he's walking up the eighteenth hold

1361
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 2: just yet, looks like there's still a little bit left there.

1362
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 2: That's that's quite the do. It's probably the toughest passing

1363
00:59:58,240 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 2: game match up the Colts will face all year.

1364
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, so here's the stats for you.

1365
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 3: Nine catches a buck sixty three in a touchdown, and

1366
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 3: a touchdown was a walk off, So I bought you

1367
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 3: it certainly was. I was his third one hundred yard

1368
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 3: receiving game in his first four career games. And the

1369
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 3: guy has not slowed down a bit.

1370
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 2: Since then, probably with Kenny Moore playing that game. And

1371
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 2: now you're saying, no Kenny Moore, and if I remember correctly,

1372
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 2: Nikoua did a lot of that out of the slot.

1373
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, again, it time player. That's just what adds

1374
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 2: to it. And he's had a great start here, did

1375
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 2: this season.

1376
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: It'll be the Rams and the Colts coming up on

1377
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon. We'll be talking about it all week long.

1378
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 2: And uh, that name who could dykedon? Do you ever

1379
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 2: think about that?

1380
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 6: Mark? It was?

1381
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 2: I just missed the top five. It sounds like a

1382
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 2: universal sex name too. I could go boy or girl?

1383
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can thinking about it? Well, you could do

1384
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 1: that coming up, Hookah Bowen. How's that going? How's that

1385
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 1: conversation that NFL?

1386
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. I think Maddi's pretty open to

1387
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 2: any and all names. So okay, pook all right, let

1388
01:00:57,840 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 2: me jot.

1389
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:03,479
Speaker 4: That down Mondo Bowen, Hookah, Mondo Bowen. That kid's gonna

1390
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,920
Speaker 4: get bullied for a long time, be the toughest kid

1391
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 4: in school.

1392
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 2: Maybe would be the best rugby player. This stays down.

1393
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 2: Aren't they taking over Coots Stadium? Shout out to Bryce Campbell?

1394
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 2: Isn't he invest in all this into rugby?

1395
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 11: Here?

1396
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 2: I love it, Hookah Mondo Bowen.

1397
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 3: Getting back to your point about the game, Kevin, in

1398
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 3: that game, kennymore interception so without that big factor. Yeah yeah,

1399
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 3: it's two pass breakups and an interception in that game.

1400
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 2: For him and Pooka still did all that. So yeah,

1401
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 2: big loss.

1402
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 7: Mark, Let's check it down the morning checkdown on Nutty

1403

1404
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: Denny had a Fever or now even in their best

1405
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 1: of five playoff series in the semi finals of the

1406
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 1: WNBA postseason, losing at Las Vegas last night ninety to

1407
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: sixty eight. Asia Wilson looked like the best player in

1408
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 1: the world twenty five points, nine rebounds. Former Fever player

1409
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 1: Melissa Smith came up big against your old team eighteen points,

1410
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 1: seven boards and Chelsea Gray. As you pointed out a

1411
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 1: couple of times this morning, James Boyd was playmaking. She

1412
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 1: had ten assists last night. Every time I turned around,

1413
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 1: she was she was throwing dimes.

1414
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, sho out to a couple other Indiana jacent people.

1415
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 3: Dana Evans from Gary, Indiana, played at Westside. Had ten

1416
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 3: points off the bench. She gets scoot. Yeah, she's very quick,

1417
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 3: has to be at her size. Juel Lloyd from an

1418
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 3: underdained player, big game for her off the bench as well,

1419
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 3: ten points. And then Jackie Young in the starting lineup.

1420
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 3: She is I believe the all time leading scorer for

1421
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 3: any of high school basketball boys or girls had a

1422
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 3: big game as well.

1423
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 1: Odyssey Simmons leading the way for the Fever eighteen points,

1424
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 1: seven assists for her. Alexi Hull had fifteen points, all

1425
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 1: of them on three point field goals. She was five

1426
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 1: of eleven from three point range, but five of sixteen overall.

1427
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 1: And Game three comes your way. Kevin Bowen, Tomorrow night

1428
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 1: at the field House, Friday, Friday, Friday. What is today? Wednesday? Yeah,

1429
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 1: I just this day is killing me.

1430
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 2: Sis has given me Lance Stevenson vibes and that a

1431
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 2: great and that she's been really good. So I'll tell

1432
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 2: you what. My heart can't be beaten like that at

1433
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 2: ten oh seven at night, not on a Tuesday, and

1434
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 2: her play, and I get nervous.

1435
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 3: I said this about Aeriel powers the exact same thing

1436
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 3: about Land Stevenson. I think Ariel has a little bit

1437
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 3: more of that energy in her, especially like she doesn't

1438
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 3: handle it as much as you know, honestly, it's the

1439
01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:22,439
Speaker 3: ball so much. I like this, Okay, yeah, yeah, this scene.

1440
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 3: But you got to ride the waves, and I think

1441
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 3: that's what's been good. You kind of have to embrace

1442
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 3: with this team at this point. You're like the level

1443
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:31,000
Speaker 3: of consistency you're gonna get, Oh, I get you have

1444
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 3: no other choice. Yeah, Like you're not gonna get the

1445
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 3: level of consistence you would have if Kailyn Clark was

1446
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 3: in there.

1447
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 4: You kind of gotta ride these waves and give them

1448
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 4: that confidence.

1449
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:39,439
Speaker 3: And that's one of the things that makes the fever

1450
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 3: so good is usually they able to find the others

1451
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 3: who are able to step up in that group alongside.

1452
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 4: Kelsey and ab.

1453
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 1: All right, So Friday night seven thirty of the airtime

1454
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 1: be seven to fifteen with Eddie Garrison's fan pregame show

1455
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:53,919
Speaker 1: again coming your way in ninety three five one seven

1456
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 1: fan uh. Major League Baseball Last night, Cincinnati Reds had

1457
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: a tough one and they lose four two to the

1458
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Pirates. There a game behind the New York Mets

1459
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 1: for that third and final wildcard spot in the National

1460
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 1: League is the Mets beat the Cubs last night nine

1461
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 1: to seven. How long is that losing streak now.

1462
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 5: For the Cub Five games they haven't won since they've

1463
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 5: clinched the playoffs.

1464
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: A little bit of a hangover there, but hopefully they'll

1465
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 1: get it together again. Saint Louis Cardinals beat the Giants

1466
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 1: last night by a score of nine to eight. How

1467
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 1: about this guy's Detroit Tigers were defeated by the Cleveland

1468
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 1: Guardians five to two straight up last night. Guardians have

1469
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 1: now caught the Tigers in the American League Central Kevin.

1470
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 1: They were twelve and a half games behind. The Guardians

1471
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 1: were twelve and a half games behind the Tigers just

1472
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 1: a little over a month ago.

1473
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 2: Gosh, that is an epic collapse, man man. Also your

1474
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 2: Guardian fans out there.

1475
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 1: Seattle Mariners clinched the playoff spot last night in the

1476
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 1: American League. They beat the Rockies four to three. They

1477
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 1: have a four game lead with five to play over

1478
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: the Houston Astros there in the American League. Coming up

1479
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 1: this weekend, college football, Indiana has been made a seven

1480
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite at Iowan. Notre Dame will

1481
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 1: be on the road against a he Sees Arkansas Razorbacks.

1482
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: Marris will be visiting Butler, and you Indy taking on

1483
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: Truman State at two thirty on Saturday afternoon. Anything else

1484
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 1: you guys want to thrown another? Some basketball notes you

1485
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 1: wanted to get to Kevin?

1486
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Pacer wise Monte Morris, the Pacers signed him one year.

1487
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 2: I believe Tony you said non guaranteed deal, So I

1488
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 2: think that name NBA fans will recognize. Really had a

1489
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 2: nice run with Denver, battled some injuries and different stops

1490
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 2: over the last couple of years. I kind of view

1491
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:33,080
Speaker 2: it James's potentially third point guard insurance. And we know

1492
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 2: Rick Carlisle loves ball handlers, you know, he loves to

1493
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 2: have multiple of them on the floor. So again, I

1494
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 2: don't think necessarily everyone's healthy. He's you know, competing for

1495
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 2: major rotational minutes. But if you have an injury in

1496
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 2: the backcourt, you know, all the Russell Westbrook, Victor Oladipo rumors,

1497
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 2: it looks like Monty Morris will be kind of the

1498
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 2: option there.

1499
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 1: And Thomas Bryant signs with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

1500
01:05:56,840 --> 01:06:02,160
Speaker 4: Shout out to my boy, Thomas Bryant, Thomas Bryan Cavs Jersey. Yeah,

1501
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 4: I should.

1502
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 3: Honestly, I think he's my He's my favorite Pacers player

1503
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 3: last year, one of the funniest players on the team.

1504
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 3: And I mean that as a compliment because his energy

1505
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:11,919
Speaker 3: was he just you could tell how much he cared

1506
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 3: about his teammates, about the moment, and there were a

1507
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 3: couple of moments. Derek Kevin we would laugh about it

1508
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 3: when we were at the actual finals games when he

1509
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 3: would make a play or even commerce finals games as well,

1510
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 3: and then you kind of have to remind him a like,

1511
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 3: the game is still going on. Man, while you're hyping

1512
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:26,720
Speaker 3: up the crowd in flexing, you got to get back

1513
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 3: on defense. And so I enjoyed that, and he was

1514
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 3: certainly a special part of that runer for those two years.

1515
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 3: And years from now we look back on that run,

1516
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 3: we will not forget about Game six. His three pointers

1517
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 3: from the court they mix out of it.

1518
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:40,439
Speaker 4: So that was very fun.

1519
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 1: John Mattier, quarterback for Oklahoma, broke his thumb in the

1520
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 1: first quarter of their road win against Auburn this past weekend.

1521
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 1: He's not gonna have surgery and miss a month. A

1522
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 1: it's amazing that a guy can on his throwing hand

1523
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 1: play for three and a half quarters with a broken thumb.

1524
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 1: But also maybe that's better chance to for Fernando Mendoza

1525
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 1: to win the Heisman. T Now, what'd you say? He

1526
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 1: was plus six fifty at this point.

1527
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 2: I think it was all higher before the Matterier injury.

1528
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 2: So again, plus six fifty, great odds, bet ten dollars

1529
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 2: to win sixty five. But you know, I think to

1530
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 2: call him like a front runner is probably the better

1531
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 2: way to call it than favorite. You know, favorite. Obviously

1532
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 2: we'd have to be closer to fifty to fifty on that.

1533
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 2: By the way, speaking of quarterbacks, Mark, you've got some

1534
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford complimentary audio of Daniel Jones.

1535
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:23,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can get to that.

1536
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 2: On the other side, very complimentary awards from Matthew Stafford,

1537
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 2: who does have some connections related to this coaching staff

1538
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 2: that he mentions about Daniel Jones. We'll play that next,

1539
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 2: all right, in a moment, we'll do that.

01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,880
Speaker 1: it's never ordinary at Bet three sixty five. This is

1544
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 1: the Fan Morning Show at ninety three five and one

1545
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: O seven to five the Fan. But Adam getting ready

1546
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 1: for another week of football coming your way. Pretty good

1547
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 1: say to high school football games. We'll talk about later

1548
01:07:57,400 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 1: on this week too. But I saw the the top

1549
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 1: rankings for all classes coming out in the Indie Star

1550
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 1: again this morning. No surprise that Brownsburg is on top

1551
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 1: once again. Center Grove, newpal Carmel, Crown Point high school

1552
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 1: football is getting it has been for a long time.

1553
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 1: But it is so good in this state, so fun.

1554
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are we Week six now as well, so

1555
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 2: sectional play or sectional draw, I should say, probably just

1556
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:19,880
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks away, and.

1557
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 5: How fast it goes by blink and it's already halfway

1558
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 5: through the season.

1559
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 2: Shout out to that Knox Miles McLoughlin. I saw some

1560
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 2: highlights of them the other Day's second all time in

1561
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 2: the state's career rushing list. They treat him like Tim Tebow.

1562
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 2: It's awesome to watch some of this, just like straight

1563
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 2: up power lead runs they run with him and honestly

1564
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:42,679
Speaker 2: is reminiscent of Riley Leonard of the opening drive against

1565
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 2: Ohio State and how they utilize him. So we'll see

1566
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:48,640
Speaker 2: if the math plays out, if Knox can get on

1567
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 2: a playoff run, if you can challenge Speaking of new

1568
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:53,719
Speaker 2: pal Charlie Spiegel and that all time rushing lead.

1569
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 1: A lot more in high school football Friday morning on

1570
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:58,599
Speaker 1: Operation Football with Channel thirteen's Dominic Miranda. In the meantime,

1571
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 1: Colt's getting ready for a game this weekend on the

1572
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 1: road out on the West Coast against the Los Angeles

1573
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 1: Rams and Rams. As we've been talking about Kevin, a

1574
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 1: pretty good quarterback named Matthew Stafford. He's been around, He's

1575
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:10,680
Speaker 1: seen a few things. He's seen a few players and

1576
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 1: it was interesting to hear some of his comments this week.

1577
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:15,559
Speaker 2: Was it Matthew Stafford who I thought should have been

1578
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,639
Speaker 2: the Colts quarterback a few cycles ago, But nonetheless Colts

1579
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:21,680
Speaker 2: bress did not agree with that, and he moves on

1580
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 2: to the Rams and the rest is history with what

1581
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 2: he's done out there, but he has familiarity with this

1582
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 2: coach he have Jim Bob Cooter. James mentioned this earlier.

1583
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 2: Colts offensive coordinator spent I believe a handful of seasons

1584
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 2: with Stafford in Detroit. Stafford made an appear in some

1585
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 2: serious XM earlier this week and had plenty of praise

1586
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 2: when asked about Daniel Jones and what Daniel Jones has

1587
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 2: done here in Indy.

1588
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 10: I'm happy for him, I really am. I'm a guy

1589
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 10: that pulls for other quarterbacks to have success. I've thought

1590
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 10: for a long time that you know, Daniel has kind

1591
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 10: of everything you'd want. I mean, he's big, he throws

1592
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 10: it great, he moves around really well, seems to be

1593
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 10: a sharp guy, you know, level headed kind of human beings.

1594
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,640
Speaker 10: So sometimes you just need a change of scenery or

1595
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:04,719
Speaker 10: a change of pace, and it seems like he's found

1596
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,600
Speaker 10: a groove with the Colts. I know, some of the

1597
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 10: coaches on the Colts coaching staff, some guys that I've

1598
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 10: worked with in the past, they're smart guys, putting them

1599
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 10: in position to succeed, which is an awesome thing for him.

1600
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:18,920
Speaker 10: They got a great running game, their defense is playing

1601
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 10: at a high clip. I mean, they don't punt. I mean,

1602
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:22,519
Speaker 10: this team is playing as good as anybody in the

1603
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 10: league right now. So it'll be a huge test for us.

1604
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:27,599
Speaker 1: And I think you got to give Daniel a lot

1605
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: of credit.

1606
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:31,640
Speaker 10: You know, he took an opportunity last year to go,

1607
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 10: you know, learn from some guys in Minnesota, and I

1608
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:36,840
Speaker 10: think that probably helped him out. And then you know,

1609
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 10: he's getting his opportunity now and I think, you know,

1610
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:42,200
Speaker 10: when guys grab that opportunity, man, you got to give

1611
01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 10: it to.

1612
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 1: Him and let them go.

1613
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 10: And it's really cool to watch guys go through struggles,

1614
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:49,080
Speaker 10: you know, whether it be their own or the system

1615
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:51,599
Speaker 10: that they're in, or the team they play for, whatever

1616
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 10: it is. I mean we had a little bit of

1617
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:55,800
Speaker 10: that experience when Baker, you know, stopped here for half

1618
01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:57,640
Speaker 10: a season. You know, a bunch of teams are kind

1619
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 10: of moving on and going around, and God here got

1620
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:03,439
Speaker 10: the opportunity to play for Sean for eight games or

1621
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 10: seven games, whatever it was, and and really revitalized his career.

1622
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:09,480
Speaker 10: And look what he's doing in Tampa now. So quarterback,

1623
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 10: you get better as you go. I feel like, as

1624
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:14,080
Speaker 10: long as your body can, can you hold up. The

1625
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 10: mental aspect of the game becomes more more and more

1626
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:19,720
Speaker 10: prevalent as as you get older, And Daniel's showing that.

1627
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 2: I think.

1628
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford talking about Daniel Jones and everybody's calling him too.

1629
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 1: I've been reading a lot this week about you know,

1630
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:31,720
Speaker 1: he's this year's Sam Darnold, but I think he's just

1631
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:34,000
Speaker 1: this year's Daniel Jones. It remains to be seeing what

1632
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: he's going to do for the rest of the season,

1633
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 1: but he sure looks like a different guy, playing with

1634
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:40,160
Speaker 1: a lot more confidence and a lot of swag.

1635
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I know we.

1636
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:45,719
Speaker 3: Both use this for a recent story, Kevin but talking

1637
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 3: to Michael Pittman Junior on Monday after the win, and

1638
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 3: this was via zoom, and again I used the word

1639
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 3: jolly earlier this week to describe Pittman, and he was

1640
01:11:57,479 --> 01:11:59,640
Speaker 3: jolly about his quarterback, and he was telling us that

1641
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 3: there is there's one flaw in Daniel Jones, and it's

1642
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 3: the fact that he cannot show up to dinner on

1643
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:08,719
Speaker 3: time ever when it comes to their Thursday night meal,

1644
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 3: because he is too busy doing what studying tape, which

1645
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 3: is the most Daniel Jones description ever. So I got

1646
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 3: a kick out of that, and he was just telling him, Yeah,

1647
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:22,280
Speaker 3: whenever I call him, he's in the playbook, same thing

1648
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:25,839
Speaker 3: that Shane Stychen is experienced with his quarterback and honestly,

1649
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:28,760
Speaker 3: talking to other guys around the room run the locker room,

1650
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 3: they've echoed the same thing. I was talking to Tyler

1651
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 3: Goodson after Sunday's game in the locker room. He was like, yeah,

1652
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:35,320
Speaker 3: the guy's insane.

1653
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 12: You know.

1654
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,560
Speaker 3: There is not many times where he's not talking to

1655
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 3: you about ball and how to hone up all the

1656
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:46,719
Speaker 3: little details that make the operation work. So Tyler Goodson

1657
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:50,640
Speaker 3: was saying, yeah, there is no like hey, how you

1658
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 3: doing kind of thing. It's more like, hey, did you

1659
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:54,640
Speaker 3: just see that clip I sent you, you know, on

1660
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:57,000
Speaker 3: your iPad or on your surface pro whatever the case

1661
01:12:57,080 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 3: may be, and you're seeing those dividends pay out. But

1662
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 3: also one of the quotes that sit out to me

1663
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:04,639
Speaker 3: from the locker room, I use it in my story today.

1664
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:09,720
Speaker 3: Kevin Javerius Ward was saying he's comeback player of the

1665
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 3: year already, damn near. And he was saying everyone doubted him,

1666
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 3: and look at what he's going through. And now Shavera's Ward,

1667
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 3: somebody who's been through his own personal stuff, has been

1668
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:21,200
Speaker 3: doubted for very different reasons. He went to a personal tragedy.

1669
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:23,800
Speaker 3: But he was saying, I'm very happy for him, and

1670
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 3: I think his teammates are too, and fans are too.

1671
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 3: And you've seen that not only from teammates but former

1672
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 3: teammates and then also even opponents just that respect. Because

1673
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 3: again coming into this Kevin, he was never a guy

1674
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:37,040
Speaker 3: that ever had a bad reputation as far as being

1675
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:37,639
Speaker 3: a bad person.

1676
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 4: It was always can't he actually play?

1677
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:39,680
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1678
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if this analogy is a great one,

1679
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 2: but you know, when you think to the other, you know,

1680
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 2: major pro sports team here in town in the Pacers,

1681
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:50,880
Speaker 2: and the ounce of confidence or ounces i should say,

1682
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:56,600
Speaker 2: probably plural, that the Pacers gave to Tyrese Halliburton. To

1683
01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 2: lesser extents, Aaron Ee Smith obi topping you know, these

1684
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 2: guys were all lottery picks. They all for whatever reason,

1685
01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:10,599
Speaker 2: didn't pan out in their original stop. And you come here.

1686
01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:14,400
Speaker 2: It's a different environment, it's a different level of belief.

1687
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 2: What do you do with when you're confident? I mean, honestly,

1688
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 2: you can probably get into a psychology sort of examination

1689
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:26,080
Speaker 2: into that for anybody, and you know, various walks of life.

1690
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 2: But you watch Daniel Jones quarterback. Somebody said it earlier.

1691
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 2: It might have been Stephen Holding. We had him on

1692
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:32,640
Speaker 2: at eight o'clock. It's not like the dude is just

1693
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:35,920
Speaker 2: out there dumping off every pass to Jonathan Taylor and

1694
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 2: hoping Jonathan Taylor breaks a tackle and pad stats. That way,

1695
01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 2: He's taking shots down the field. He is a willing

1696
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 2: stay in the pocket when it does get muddy, take

1697
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 2: some shots down the field. And that I don't think

1698
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:50,760
Speaker 2: we saw to the degree that we're seeing in New

1699
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 2: York certainly. And then again, he's staying away from the

1700
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 2: negative plays. So he's been consistent. The accuracy has been

1701
01:14:57,479 --> 01:15:00,840
Speaker 2: in stride his willingness to take some down the field

1702
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:03,080
Speaker 2: and again staying away from the negatives. And when you

1703
01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 2: add up all of that, you're going to get a

1704
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 2: quarterback det is deservedly sell on any sort of MVP

1705
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:11,240
Speaker 2: ballot three weeks into a season, and yeah, Sin is

1706
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:14,200
Speaker 2: September twenty fourth, But you just have to be thoroughly,

1707
01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 2: thoroughly impressed by what Daniel Jones has given the Cold

1708
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 2: so far.

1709
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 1: All I want to get the reactions everybody on the

1710
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:21,639
Speaker 1: fan text line at two three nine ten seventy. Your

1711

01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 1: like Matthew Staffer are saying, You've been reading what folks

1713
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:29,720
Speaker 1: locally and Nashley have been saying about Daniel Jones this year.

1714
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:32,439
Speaker 1: Do you believe in him yet? After three games? What's

1715
01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 1: your thought on that? Two three nine ten seventy. We'll

1716
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 1: do some of that in a moment. We'll talk I

1717

Speaker 1: U Football Top of the Hour as well. James Boyd,

01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 1: road taking on Iowa, and our buddy Todd would like

1725
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:01,320
Speaker 1: us to remind every body that Purdue has their first.

1726
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 4: Bye week this week, So you got that going to

1727
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:04,479
Speaker 4: They've had the bye wee call season.

1728
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:05,640
Speaker 1: That's all I think of it.

1729
01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:09,240
Speaker 2: Wow, you earn that bad? Did you grow up there?

1730
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:11,360
Speaker 1: Would wake up in a bad mood this morning?

1731
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:14,080
Speaker 4: No, I didn't sleep well. But yeah, okay, it's like, okay,

1732
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:17,120
Speaker 4: they're not playing, so we don't need to talk about them.

1733
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:20,679
Speaker 2: I put some predue optimism here. I did the click

1734
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 2: on a Joe Lenardi brackettology link yesterday.

1735
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:28,599
Speaker 4: Oh you nerd, you're your sickle for that, but continue,

1736
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:29,559
Speaker 4: I'm actually intrigued.

1737
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 2: Joe Lenardi's gonna regret, and I have a notre dame

1738
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 2: in the field this year. I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I'm

1739
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 2: gonna tell you that right now. Perdue a one seed

1740
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:43,000
Speaker 2: sent out west to San Jose Houston as the top

1741
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:46,000
Speaker 2: overall seed. Anybody care to guess where he's got the

1742
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:46,799
Speaker 2: Indiana Hoosiers.

1743
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:52,559
Speaker 1: Ah, probably outside looking in. It's hard to say. Who

1744
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 1: knows what this tea.

1745
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:58,840
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say they're gonna be an eleven seed he's got.

1746
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:03,680
Speaker 2: Indiana is the third team out in the tournament, So

1747
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 2: team seventy one. I don't know if we can do

1748
01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:08,280
Speaker 2: another year of Indiana on the bubble. I don't know

1749
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 2: if I do, we have a choice.

1750
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 1: But how do you project this team right?

1751
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:15,920
Speaker 2: Well, certainly, I mean when you have the amounts of

1752
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:18,599
Speaker 2: new faces that they do. Offensively and shooting wise, they've

1753
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,600
Speaker 2: added a lot from the mid major ranks, But defensively

1754
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 2: and rebounding seems to be some question. But again, Purdue

1755
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:27,519
Speaker 2: just to remind everybody, if they are a one seed

1756
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:31,920
Speaker 2: that gets kind of the preferred Midwest route, that route

1757
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:37,639
Speaker 2: could be a Saint Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis, NCAA tournament pathway

1758
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 2: here for the Boilers. So optimism in West Lafayette basketball seasons?

1759
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 2: What a little over a month away?

1760
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:44,760
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1761
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:47,439
Speaker 2: And now we play these great like exhibition games, don't

1762
01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 2: don't we? The guy who plays Baylor at gamebridge field

1763
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:52,440
Speaker 2: House and Purdue's.

1764
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:54,880
Speaker 1: Got reverybody used to play the exhibition teams, the teams

1765
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:57,759
Speaker 1: that were just like traveler athletes in action. Yeah, athletes,

1766
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:02,160
Speaker 1: Marathon Oil, yep, you remember those games at all? James,

1767
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:02,679
Speaker 1: you are too young?

1768
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:04,200
Speaker 4: Yeah too young.

1769
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:06,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, they used to. All these teams used to get

1770
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 1: to these traveling former college athletes that would get together

1771
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 1: and band together for a team, and they'd play everybody

1772
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:14,840
Speaker 1: for about a month and then I don't know what

1773
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 1: they did after that, but I like seeing these these

1774
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:19,760
Speaker 1: early preseason games. It's fine.

1775
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 2: I like how they handle it now. I think the

1776
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 2: Marquee exhibition game is starting to put a little bit

1777
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:27,000
Speaker 2: like a lot of the proceeds go to charity. And

1778
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:29,639
Speaker 2: then I also enjoy like thinking Niana has done the play,

1779
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 2: you know, Pat Knight and Marion here lately, you know,

1780
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 2: try to also reward some of your kind of smaller

1781
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:37,920
Speaker 2: schools than the state as well. I think that's a

1782
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:41,120
Speaker 2: good balance here. Before the season gets underway, well.

1783
01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:42,800
Speaker 1: We're closing it out it pretty quickly. We were talking

1784
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:44,680
Speaker 1: about Daniel Jones and whether or not people believe in

1785
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:46,599
Speaker 1: him or not, and already people are starting to ask

1786
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 1: is this a guy that's worthy of a franchise tag

1787
01:18:49,479 --> 01:18:51,240
Speaker 1: next year? I think we got a lot of football

1788
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:53,240
Speaker 1: left to play, though, don't we. James Boyd, Before we

1789
01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:55,000
Speaker 1: get to that that question.

1790
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 4: Who's asking that?

1791
01:18:56,600 --> 01:19:00,519
Speaker 1: That would have been an unnamed anonymous text or just

1792
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:01,639
Speaker 1: with the phone number right.

1793
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 3: There, only only asks because I feel like that's one

1794
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:10,200
Speaker 3: way too early. But with each game that passes, and

1795
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 3: obviously performances like.

1796
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:13,960
Speaker 1: This, Yes it says Mike in the Villages in Florida

1797
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:15,719
Speaker 1: had to go back up to a bunch of texts earlier,

1798
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 1: but that's who it was.

1799
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 4: Shout out to Mike in the Villages. Yes, I need

1800
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:20,799
Speaker 4: some stories there.

1801
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 2: Said Mike up Hill. That might be the color of

1802
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:24,400
Speaker 2: the skut.

1803
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:28,920
Speaker 3: Oh Lord have mercy, But yeah, I do think And

1804
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:30,680
Speaker 3: I was going through this yesterday. I was looking all

1805
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:34,840
Speaker 3: those numbers from Daniel Jones. You got an MVP caliber

1806
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 3: quarterback through three weeks at a premium rate because every

1807
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 3: list he's on is joined by Josh Allen, Patrick, Mahomes,

1808
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:47,720
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, Justin Herbert, Matthew Stafford. These are all guys

1809
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:49,920
Speaker 3: who are on big contracts. You know Jalen Hurts as well.

1810
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:52,920
Speaker 3: So yeah, that is going to be a question, and

1811
01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 3: I think the noise around that will be louder when

1812
01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:58,800
Speaker 3: we get to the bye week. So after what is

1813
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 3: it Germany game against the Falcons, it's week ten, going

1814
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:05,200
Speaker 3: to the bye week after that, I think that will

1815
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:07,720
Speaker 3: be not saying that that the coach should do that.

1816
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:10,400
Speaker 3: But if they're like, you know, seven and three going

1817
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:12,640
Speaker 3: into the bye, yeah, I think the chatter around a

1818
01:20:12,760 --> 01:20:15,160
Speaker 3: franchise tag and what do you do if they make

1819
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 3: the playoffs winning division? No sort of things. That competition

1820
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:21,400
Speaker 3: becomes louder. And right now, through three games, I can't

1821
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:24,240
Speaker 3: see a reason as to why you wouldn't want to

1822
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:26,320
Speaker 3: reward the quarterback for the play that he's had. But again,

1823
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 3: just three games. Again some bad teams, so you want

1824
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:32,719
Speaker 3: to see how it stacks up against better competition.

1825
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 1: On in your site, The Athletic, Jeff Howe has week

1826
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:39,519
Speaker 1: four quarterback rankings and the adjust thees each week. But

1827
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:43,640
Speaker 1: right now he's got Daniel Jones eleventh, kind of in

1828
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:47,439
Speaker 1: the tier of Matthew Stafford nine, Sam Darnold ten, Jones eleven,

1829
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:50,519
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray twelve, and then Dak Prescott thirteen.

1830
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:53,760
Speaker 2: James, I think the Daniel Jones contract debate will be

1831
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:56,519
Speaker 2: a fascinating one if indeed it continues.

1832
01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:57,400
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, man like.

1833
01:20:57,560 --> 01:21:00,759
Speaker 3: Again that weeks come by week, especially because by Weekord anyway,

1834
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:04,960
Speaker 3: nothing going on. If they're seven and three, man, it's

1835
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 3: a conversation now I'm certainly gonna like at least enter.

1836
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 3: I wouldn't consider an extension or what anything, but it's

1837
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:14,320
Speaker 3: certainly something to entertain if and when that opportunity comes.

1838
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:16,080
Speaker 2: And if you're the Jones camp, you know what do

1839
01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 2: you prefer? You know, are you sitting here saying, well,

1840
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 2: franchise Tagg and then hit the open market at the

1841
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 2: age of whatever. I mean, he's still under thirty, right, Yeah,

1842
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:26,080
Speaker 2: that sounds pretty enticing. Do you want to just say, hey,

1843
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:27,599
Speaker 2: I just need to take something right now?

1844
01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:29,800
Speaker 4: And well, I mean you would have a choice in

1845
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:31,760
Speaker 4: that matter, because they could right him.

1846
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:33,760
Speaker 2: Franchise, tagging, slap it on anything. Yeah, yeah, but like

1847
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:36,840
Speaker 2: what would they prefer? And then also, I go back

1848
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 2: to the Chris Boward quote. You know, the best time

1849
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:42,560
Speaker 2: to find your new quarterbacks when you've got one. So

1850
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:46,760
Speaker 2: do you try and double dip it all? And you know, like,

1851
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:50,080
Speaker 2: are you saying, you know what, I think we've got one?

1852
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:52,719
Speaker 2: But just in case that twenty twenty two Giant season

1853
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 2: is happening here, do you go out and spend an

1854
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:57,880
Speaker 2: early pick on a quarterback?

1855
01:21:58,080 --> 01:21:58,479
Speaker 10: Like it?

1856
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:01,200
Speaker 2: Just again, all of this can probably be put on

1857
01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:04,840
Speaker 2: the back burner here until as James said post by

1858
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:07,800
Speaker 2: week probably postseason as well, because I mean there is

1859
01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:11,000
Speaker 2: I'm reminded of this yearly and we'll probably do this

1860
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 2: exercise in January. I know the NFL season's only seventeen games,

1861
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:18,559
Speaker 2: but damn is at a long seventeen games. I mean

1862
01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:23,519
Speaker 2: it is a grind. Like right now, Minton is yesterday,

1863
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:26,560
Speaker 2: we'd be at the equivalent of game fourteen of the

1864
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 2: Pacers season. The Pacers were six and eight at this

1865
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 2: point of the season, six and eight, and they became

1866
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:36,840
Speaker 2: the last the last team standing out of the Eastern Conference.

1867
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 2: They took it the game seven like it's just it's

1868
01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 2: And again we're in a league with the NFL where

1869
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 2: the injury rates one hundred percent.

1870
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:46,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, at some point you're to get bank.

1871
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 2: And these Colts opponents that have lost guys this week.

1872
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:52,880
Speaker 2: James Connor out for the year, Najie Harris out for

1873
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 2: the year, Nick Bosa out for the year. I mean

1874
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 2: those are three right now. The Colts. Again, even if

1875
01:22:57,439 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 2: Kenny Moore is only going to miss a couple of weeks,

1876
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:01,040
Speaker 2: the Colts have had a great bill of health all

1877
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:03,559
Speaker 2: things considered, through the first three weeks. Sure you've missed

1878
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:04,920
Speaker 2: a lot too. You've missed a ward for a week.

1879
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:06,760
Speaker 2: But you know, again, when you're just dealing with the

1880
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:08,680
Speaker 2: one week stuff, you can handle that. It's more of

1881
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:13,360
Speaker 2: the multi month potentially injured reserve, and so far you've

1882
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:13,840
Speaker 2: avoided that.

1883
01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 1: Something was interesting too that ties back to Daniel Jones.

1884
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:20,639
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson has been benched in New York with the Giants.

1885
01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:23,839
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart gets his first start coming up on Sunday.

1886
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 1: But in the locker room this week, Malik Neighbors was

1887
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:29,280
Speaker 1: asked about the quarterback play and he flat out said

1888
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:34,559
Speaker 1: it wasn't you know, the quarterback play wasn't the problem before,

1889
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:37,760
Speaker 1: it's not the problem now. I thought that was an

1890
01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:41,240
Speaker 1: interesting quote from a wide receiver in that locker room,

1891
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 1: that is essentially saying quarterback is far from our biggest

1892
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:46,479
Speaker 1: problem with the New York Giants. I thought that was

1893
01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:51,280
Speaker 1: pretty interesting. So, for whatever that is worth, that's what's

1894
01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:54,360
Speaker 1: going on. Daniel Jones to net Card to believe too,

1895
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:56,599
Speaker 1: that he I think we're going to forget one day

1896
01:23:56,600 --> 01:23:59,600
Speaker 1: that he spent that few months in Minnesota after he

1897
01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:01,280
Speaker 1: was kind of banished from the Giants too.

1898
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 3: James, Yeah, you know, and again they were willing to

1899
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:08,559
Speaker 3: pay him to stay there and be their guy behind

1900
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:10,800
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy. If you look at it now, you know

1901
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:15,080
Speaker 3: hindsight's twenty twenty and obviously just a different path for

1902
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:19,320
Speaker 3: him now. But he would have been starting for Minnesota

1903
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:22,280
Speaker 3: last week if he had stayed there, but chose to

1904
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 3: come to Indianapolis, thought he could beat Anthony Rootson out

1905
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 3: for the job and took it from him. And at

1906
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:29,560
Speaker 3: this point there is obviously no pathway at least in

1907
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 3: my mind, to him ever relinquishing those DUTI unless he

1908
01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:34,840
Speaker 3: gets injured, and so knock on some wood here, I

1909
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 3: don't want injury for any player. But yeah, he's played

1910
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:39,800
Speaker 3: really really good football and like I said, a bigger

1911
01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 3: test awaits in week four out in LA.

1912
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:44,479
Speaker 5: Wonder that much he would credit Kevin O'Connell and his staff,

1913
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:46,880
Speaker 5: like kind of getting out of New York, kind of

1914
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:48,439
Speaker 5: seeing how other teams do it and like how he

1915
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 5: would assess them, like getting him kind of on track

1916
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:53,080
Speaker 5: and seeing like, oh, yeah, I can get rid of

1917
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:55,879
Speaker 5: some of these bad habits and maybe holding my skills elsewhere.

1918
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 4: You know what, Mark, I will ask him that later today.

1919
01:24:58,479 --> 01:24:58,880
Speaker 2: How about it?

1920
01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:01,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I do a kind of run out of

1921
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:03,880
Speaker 3: things to ask Daniel Jones because he's not always, you know,

1922
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:07,040
Speaker 3: the most forthcoming guy. But that is interesting moment you

1923
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 3: kind of brought up because we do kind of gloss

1924
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 3: over the fact that he spent a few months with

1925
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:14,680
Speaker 3: what many to believe the best quarterback whisper currently in

1926
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:15,759
Speaker 3: football and Kevin O'Connell.

1927
01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:17,640
Speaker 1: Even Matthew Stafford brought that up in the in the

1928
01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:19,880
Speaker 1: the bite that we were playing a little while ago,

1929
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:21,400
Speaker 1: that he had a chance to go learn from some

1930
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:23,160
Speaker 1: people up in Minnesota is how he phrased it.

1931
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:25,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again just two months there, so you know

1932
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:27,519
Speaker 2: that's different than Baker's time with the Rams, where he

1933
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:30,519
Speaker 2: actually played started. I don't want to say handful of games, but.

1934
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 4: It's so crazy that he like landed and like was

1935
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:34,760
Speaker 4: it two days later he's playing in the game in

1936
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:35,559
Speaker 4: one right.

1937
01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:37,920
Speaker 1: It was so crazy that was shout out to him that.

1938
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:42,680
Speaker 3: That takes some cerebral quarterbacking right there, because that is

1939
01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:44,560
Speaker 3: not what you see every day. This isn't Madden, but

1940
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:46,360
Speaker 3: he treated like Madden that day, coming.

1941
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:48,439
Speaker 1: Up at a moment. Quarterback has not been the problem

1942
01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:51,040
Speaker 1: down in Bloomington. There's no question about that. We're going

1943
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:53,120
Speaker 1: to check in on the Hoosiers as they get ready

1944
01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:54,679
Speaker 1: to go on the road for a Big ten matchup

1945
01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:57,000
Speaker 1: at Iowa. That's next on ninety three five and one

1946
01:25:57,040 --> 01:26:01,639
Speaker 1: on seven Classic Ark Dyke and what inspired display?

1947
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:02,160
Speaker 6: I like it?

1948
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:07,160
Speaker 1: Kurt Signetti smoking if you got him, I dig it. Yeah,

1949
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 1: Kurt Signette's getting it done. He's getting a lot of

1950
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:12,600
Speaker 1: accolades all over the place. And why not. All he

1951
01:26:12,680 --> 01:26:14,720
Speaker 1: does is his first year coming over at iu is

1952
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:17,600
Speaker 1: go to a college football playoff and now they just

1953
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:21,719
Speaker 1: roll over a top rated school. James Boyd, what happened

1954
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:25,360
Speaker 1: to the Aliini last week? They didn't show up? And

1955
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:27,400
Speaker 1: which is why I'm wearing this shirt right now and

1956
01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:31,040
Speaker 1: I'll be wearing some Crimson cream for the next couple

1957
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:33,840
Speaker 1: of days as well. So got a beautiful display of

1958
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:35,640
Speaker 1: clothing yesterday from Kevin that was.

1959
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:36,600
Speaker 2: So wed, No I know.

1960
01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:39,240
Speaker 4: I sent that clip to my family and they got

1961
01:26:39,320 --> 01:26:39,880
Speaker 4: a kick out of that.

1962
01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:40,320
Speaker 12: Kevin.

1963
01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:41,800
Speaker 2: The hot plate of crow.

1964
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:43,680
Speaker 4: Ye thought we were in Prime forty seven for a

1965
01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:45,719
Speaker 4: minute the way you I know, showcase.

1966
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:48,160
Speaker 2: We get a little crow in the background here, Mark, Oh,

1967
01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 2: you could just stick it just one more now, are

1968
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:53,559
Speaker 2: you on the Iowa Bandwagon this weekend.

1969
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:56,400
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm want every bandwagon against you for the rest

1970
01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 3: of eternity. Yes, yes, did this hate won't end?

1971
01:26:59,400 --> 01:26:59,639
Speaker 4: Brother?

1972
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:03,639
Speaker 2: I read a piece by Dan Wetzel, a great, great writer,

1973
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 2: you know, longtime cover of college sports and among a

1974
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:09,559
Speaker 2: variety of things, and he wrote something on Chrit Signetti

1975
01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:13,080
Speaker 2: earlier this week, and he had a line in there

1976
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:19,400
Speaker 2: where he referenced Signetti as the best coach, especially for

1977
01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:24,160
Speaker 2: that situation. And the more I thought about that, that

1978
01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:29,120
Speaker 2: really really resonated to me. Like, you know, oftentimes it's like, hey,

1979
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 2: does a coach win or lose? And obviously Signette's resume

1980
01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:35,599
Speaker 2: is tremendous coming into Bloomington, but I feel like they

1981
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:39,320
Speaker 2: needed someone to call out everyone. They needed someone with

1982
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:42,519
Speaker 2: the brash nature of him, of like, this is how

1983
01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 2: it's going to be. I'm cocky, I've got the resume

1984
01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:47,040
Speaker 2: to back it up. You guys have been the laughing

1985
01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:51,519
Speaker 2: soccer football for fifty some years. You better follow me.

1986
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 2: And he called out other teams, He called out people

1987
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:57,880
Speaker 2: within that university, within that athletic department, he called out

1988
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 2: the fans. I think they need that, honestly, not just

1989
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:03,880
Speaker 2: a guy that you know, you can find guys that

1990
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:05,920
Speaker 2: win and lou you know, the guys that have strong

1991
01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 2: winning resumes, but I think they need And at the

1992
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:12,400
Speaker 2: time I definitely didn't see that per se, but I

1993
01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:17,200
Speaker 2: think that type of personality, the I'm gonna walk in

1994
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 2: this room and you're gonna know that I'm in this

1995
01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 2: room was really really important for again, a college football

1996
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:24,639
Speaker 2: program that had been such a joke.

1997
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:28,519
Speaker 3: I was watching there you go. I was watching some

1998
01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:33,080
Speaker 3: of the James again. Mark cut the cameras. You know,

1999
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:35,800
Speaker 3: it's time to get the tussling up in here. Matter

2000
01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:39,280
Speaker 3: of fact, here we go, here we go.

2001
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:43,360
Speaker 1: What we got to I'm not getting in the I'm

2002
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 1: not getting in the middle of that.

2003
01:28:47,360 --> 01:28:50,080
Speaker 4: I was a w W promo or something to grab

2004
01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:54,360
Speaker 4: the steel chair, everything you need over that.

2005
01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:58,200
Speaker 3: The saddest part about that was me trying to you know,

2006
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:01,200
Speaker 3: I guess put some high on Kevin and I'm trying

2007
01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:03,000
Speaker 3: to tussle up with him and the guy still is

2008
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:05,320
Speaker 3: almost as tall as me in the chair, so stand up.

2009
01:29:05,400 --> 01:29:07,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that did not look very good on Camra.

2010
01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:08,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys can go Mino on Mono and pick

2011
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:11,040
Speaker 1: a ball at jmg's remote today over at pick a

2012
01:29:11,080 --> 01:29:13,439
Speaker 1: ball on the Yeah, go that way.

2013
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:13,640
Speaker 12: No.

2014
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:15,360
Speaker 1: I was looking at Todd McShay yesterday and he was

2015
01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:17,760
Speaker 1: talking about Indiana and Kurt Signetti and what a great

2016
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:19,920
Speaker 1: job he did last year in his opinion with with

2017
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:22,400
Speaker 1: Curtis Rourke, and he said, he's done even a you know,

2018
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:25,200
Speaker 1: a better job this off season and in the early

2019
01:29:25,240 --> 01:29:27,160
Speaker 1: part of the season with what he's he's had to

2020
01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:30,800
Speaker 1: work with Fernando Mendoza, uh so far this year. And

2021
01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:34,280
Speaker 1: to your point, Kevin, he came in, he announced himself

2022
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:36,880
Speaker 1: and he's just getting it done. You don't see that

2023
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:39,240
Speaker 1: all the time in sports. It doesn't happen, especially in

2024
01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:40,040
Speaker 1: college football.

2025
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:44,040
Speaker 3: No, it is special stuff. That is certainly true. And

2026
01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:47,760
Speaker 3: what we saw this past week was a special but.

2027
01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:50,439
Speaker 1: Whooping and Kevin and I were talking about during the

2028
01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:52,960
Speaker 1: break too. We're all talking about Fernando Mendoza and that

2029
01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:56,000
Speaker 1: incredible group of skills position players who were busting off

2030
01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:59,639
Speaker 1: touchdown runs left and right. But let's not go to sleep.

2031
01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:02,640
Speaker 1: That deep was rugged and we didn't know what to

2032
01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:05,320
Speaker 1: expect coming up those first three games, but they showed

2033
01:30:05,400 --> 01:30:06,240
Speaker 1: up to play in that one.

2034
01:30:06,400 --> 01:30:08,320
Speaker 2: I thought the most impressive aspect of the game On

2035
01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:11,679
Speaker 2: Saturday amongst many was the D line. You know, Illinois

2036
01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:13,639
Speaker 2: brought back I believe, all five starters from their own

2037
01:30:13,720 --> 01:30:16,519
Speaker 2: hind and for Pat Coots's boys to whip up on

2038
01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:19,120
Speaker 2: them as much as they did, that can be to

2039
01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:21,400
Speaker 2: me a separator when you're talking about, Hey, is this

2040
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:23,280
Speaker 2: a top ten team? This is a top five team.

2041
01:30:23,320 --> 01:30:26,000
Speaker 2: This is the team hosting a playoff game. To me,

2042
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:28,240
Speaker 2: if you're D lining your O line and playing like that,

2043
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:31,519
Speaker 2: now we talk about Indiana in a different tier.

2044
01:30:32,240 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Zach Austerman joining us now on the Payless Liquors

2045
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:38,360
Speaker 1: hot Line is he's been covering this team and watching

2046
01:30:38,439 --> 01:30:41,639
Speaker 1: them all the way through. And Zach, we've been talking

2047
01:30:41,680 --> 01:30:43,639
Speaker 1: about all the different areas that have played so well,

2048
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:45,880
Speaker 1: and look, I was chief among them. I've been making

2049
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:48,479
Speaker 1: fun of those first three games and their preseason for

2050
01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:50,800
Speaker 1: the next couple of years. But man, did they show

2051
01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:54,360
Speaker 1: up to play against Illinois. What's been the most impressive

2052
01:30:54,439 --> 01:30:57,439
Speaker 1: part of this team that you've seen so far this year?

2053
01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:02,360
Speaker 8: I mean, that's a good question, and I think there's

2054
01:31:02,360 --> 01:31:03,800
Speaker 8: a lot of different ways you could take it. I

2055
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:08,040
Speaker 8: think probably and I would extend this back to spring camp,

2056
01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:12,960
Speaker 8: fall camp, just the extent to which it really did

2057
01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:15,439
Speaker 8: feel like Indiana was able to put last season in

2058
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:20,400
Speaker 8: the past, and you know the extent to which you know,

2059
01:31:20,520 --> 01:31:25,559
Speaker 8: Kurt Signetti in a variety of different ways, really tried

2060
01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:27,439
Speaker 8: to make it clear through the off season that twenty

2061
01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:29,920
Speaker 8: twenty four was over, that Indiana had moved on twenty

2062
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:35,840
Speaker 8: twenty five. But you know, success can be addictive, but

2063
01:31:36,040 --> 01:31:39,000
Speaker 8: success can also be destructive, I think sometimes, especially in

2064
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:43,000
Speaker 8: college sports, and I've seen teams that maybe got a

2065
01:31:43,080 --> 01:31:47,479
Speaker 8: little bit too not necessarily big headed, but almost too complacent.

2066
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:50,040
Speaker 8: You know, one of Indiana's real superpowers last year was

2067
01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:55,479
Speaker 8: that I hate buying into narratives or cliches, but that

2068
01:31:55,600 --> 01:31:57,640
Speaker 8: ability to play with the chip on his shoulder, that

2069
01:31:57,840 --> 01:32:03,960
Speaker 8: that sort of almost like angry disrespect for a sport

2070
01:32:04,080 --> 01:32:07,759
Speaker 8: that didn't give Indiana the you know, it just deserves

2071
01:32:09,400 --> 01:32:13,479
Speaker 8: being able to sort of maintain that edge, even while

2072
01:32:13,600 --> 01:32:16,960
Speaker 8: changing over the roster, which is just a natural part

2073
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:21,439
Speaker 8: of modern college football anymore, even given so much of

2074
01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:23,880
Speaker 8: the offseason noise, and maybe some of that helped, I

2075
01:32:23,920 --> 01:32:27,599
Speaker 8: don't know, but just for Indiana to almost come out

2076
01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:31,000
Speaker 8: and be better in some respects and listen, we're four

2077
01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:33,400
Speaker 8: games in. I don't think I'm not sitting here. A

2078
01:32:33,439 --> 01:32:35,479
Speaker 8: lot of people said Indiana's better than we're a year ago.

2079
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:38,479
Speaker 8: I watched last years team win eleven games. I've watched

2080
01:32:38,479 --> 01:32:40,679
Speaker 8: this your team win four games. So I'm not prepared

2081
01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:43,519
Speaker 8: to to sort of make that declaration. But I think

2082
01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:47,320
Speaker 8: there are reasons to believe that Indiana has improved in

2083
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:50,519
Speaker 8: some key areas, notably the run game, in the line

2084
01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:55,240
Speaker 8: of scrimmage, and that Indiana might time will tell, but

2085
01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:58,080
Speaker 8: might have an even higher ceiling this year than it

2086
01:32:58,120 --> 01:33:02,360
Speaker 8: did a year ago. And you know, for Indiana to

2087
01:33:02,439 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 8: be able to do that even through maybe some of

2088
01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:08,559
Speaker 8: the distractions of success, even through at Signetti's talked about

2089
01:33:08,680 --> 01:33:10,559
Speaker 8: having fewer of those guys that he brought with him

2090
01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:13,040
Speaker 8: from James Madison that help him kind of set that

2091
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:16,120
Speaker 8: culture immediately, that it's got to be more guys doing

2092
01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:18,200
Speaker 8: it organically. It's got to be more guys doing it,

2093
01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:21,439
Speaker 8: you know, from from an IU perspective, and not just

2094
01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:23,240
Speaker 8: walking in and saying, hey, this is how we did

2095
01:33:23,280 --> 01:33:24,520
Speaker 8: it at the last place.

2096
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:26,519
Speaker 6: So just watch us do it and learn.

2097
01:33:27,920 --> 01:33:29,840
Speaker 8: It has been that I think that, you know, sort

2098
01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:32,080
Speaker 8: of intangibly has impressed me the most.

2099
01:33:32,520 --> 01:33:35,439
Speaker 3: Zach Ostaman joining us here on the Payloss Liquors hotline.

2100
01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 3: He covers IU for Indie Stars. Zach and I'm sitting

2101
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:40,360
Speaker 3: here today and now you Surrey, I'll be wearing IU

2102
01:33:40,439 --> 01:33:44,479
Speaker 3: gear all week as Illinois alum because, uh man, that

2103
01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:45,040
Speaker 3: was a.

2104
01:33:45,240 --> 01:33:46,560
Speaker 4: Historic but with it.

2105
01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:50,599
Speaker 3: So when you hear a coach say that they broke

2106
01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:53,160
Speaker 3: a teams will and you're able to just validate it

2107
01:33:53,200 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 3: by whatich'a on the field. I mean, coaches talk all

2108
01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:57,000
Speaker 3: the time. Some of them talk, probably a little bit

2109
01:33:57,040 --> 01:33:59,559
Speaker 3: too much for their liking, But I mean he backed

2110
01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:01,639
Speaker 3: it up, his team backed it up. And so where

2111
01:34:01,680 --> 01:34:04,080
Speaker 3: do they go from here from mentality standpoint? And how

2112
01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:06,760
Speaker 3: hungry do you think this team is after sort of

2113
01:34:06,800 --> 01:34:08,960
Speaker 3: proving themselves again on a national stage.

2114
01:34:09,960 --> 01:34:13,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I think that the hunger piece has

2115
01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:15,679
Speaker 8: probably played out by just how good Indiana was even

2116
01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:17,760
Speaker 8: when it took its foot off the gas. I mean,

2117
01:34:17,800 --> 01:34:20,280
Speaker 8: I think Indiana attempted something like four passes in the

2118
01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:24,840
Speaker 8: second half of that game. And and please understand, I'm

2119
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:26,280
Speaker 8: not rubbing it in against.

2120
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:28,040
Speaker 2: The all I have.

2121
01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:30,360
Speaker 4: I have been served already.

2122
01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:33,680
Speaker 8: Worn Indiana gear in like fifteen years, So you know

2123
01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:36,280
Speaker 8: you're you're doing it for You're you're doing it for

2124
01:34:36,360 --> 01:34:38,600
Speaker 8: both of us, because I've obviously got to maintain a

2125
01:34:38,720 --> 01:34:40,680
Speaker 8: level of editorial neutrality.

2126
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:44,400
Speaker 6: But I think you know there's been there.

2127
01:34:44,479 --> 01:34:46,479
Speaker 8: There was in the immediate aftermaths, a lot of Oh,

2128
01:34:46,560 --> 01:34:48,960
Speaker 8: Indiana ran up the score, and he Bielm has said,

2129
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:50,280
Speaker 8: you know that's what that's what you got to do.

2130
01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:53,600
Speaker 8: You know, everyone has kind of learned that, you know,

2131
01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:56,679
Speaker 8: style points willing deer you to the committee. But Indiana

2132
01:34:56,800 --> 01:34:59,200
Speaker 8: wasn't really trying to. I think that your question about

2133
01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:03,360
Speaker 8: hunger probably is answered by the extent to which it

2134
01:35:03,479 --> 01:35:06,400
Speaker 8: was second stringers. It was third stringers that were still

2135
01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:09,639
Speaker 8: moving the ball, still getting first down, still scoring. Toobe

2136
01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:12,880
Speaker 8: Martin is Indiana. He's now Indiana's third string running back,

2137
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:15,040
Speaker 8: is their fourth string running back for Lee bb got hurt.

2138
01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:18,280
Speaker 8: He's rushed for one hundred plus yards in what you

2139
01:35:18,360 --> 01:35:22,040
Speaker 8: would generously describe as garbage time of each of these

2140
01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:24,559
Speaker 8: last two games. And when it happened against Indiana State,

2141
01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:26,280
Speaker 8: you can say, well, they put in their backups two

2142
01:35:26,439 --> 01:35:27,080
Speaker 8: and the game.

2143
01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:29,519
Speaker 6: Was long over and all that. But to do it

2144
01:35:29,560 --> 01:35:31,760
Speaker 6: against a ranked.

2145
01:35:31,479 --> 01:35:34,240
Speaker 8: Big ten team, I think that tells you just kind

2146
01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:38,000
Speaker 8: of where the overall mindset is of this roster, and

2147
01:35:38,080 --> 01:35:41,840
Speaker 8: I think it. You know, again, it's sort of one

2148
01:35:41,840 --> 01:35:44,800
Speaker 8: of those things where there's there's a rush. Because we

2149
01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:48,080
Speaker 8: are always sort of we are all of us a

2150
01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:51,400
Speaker 8: little bit sort of romantically endeared to what's right in

2151
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:54,200
Speaker 8: front of us. There is a rush to say, well,

2152
01:35:54,240 --> 01:35:57,640
Speaker 8: Indiana's better this year than they were last year. You know,

2153
01:35:57,960 --> 01:35:59,680
Speaker 8: I said, I think to one or two people this week,

2154
01:35:59,720 --> 01:36:01,559
Speaker 8: indian could be better this year than they were last

2155
01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:03,800
Speaker 8: year and still win fewer games, because that's the way

2156
01:36:03,880 --> 01:36:06,240
Speaker 8: the schedule is, that's the way the sport works sometimes.

2157
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:09,400
Speaker 8: But I don't think you can look at what Indiana

2158
01:36:09,439 --> 01:36:13,080
Speaker 8: has done across these first four games, and obviously the

2159
01:36:13,160 --> 01:36:17,600
Speaker 8: Illinois game being you know, the prime example, and not

2160
01:36:17,880 --> 01:36:21,080
Speaker 8: at least believe that Indiana has got that same hunger,

2161
01:36:21,280 --> 01:36:25,719
Speaker 8: that same edge. And these are cliches that reporters don't

2162
01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:28,880
Speaker 8: like leaning on too much, but there's really not much

2163
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:30,879
Speaker 8: else you can use to describe, you know, when Segetti

2164
01:36:30,920 --> 01:36:33,600
Speaker 8: said we broke their will, I don't think he was,

2165
01:36:34,360 --> 01:36:35,439
Speaker 8: you know, kind of like Indiana.

2166
01:36:35,479 --> 01:36:36,840
Speaker 6: I don't think he was really running up the score.

2167
01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:37,839
Speaker 6: I think he was playing football.

2168
01:36:38,120 --> 01:36:41,719
Speaker 8: I don't think Signetti in that moment was was talking

2169
01:36:41,840 --> 01:36:45,160
Speaker 8: trash or you know, sort of being overly boastful. I

2170
01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:47,960
Speaker 8: think he was just trying to describe what he saw

2171
01:36:48,040 --> 01:36:50,880
Speaker 8: on the field, and it is what the rest of

2172
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:53,160
Speaker 8: us saw, which was an Illinois team that admittedly was

2173
01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:56,560
Speaker 8: shorthanded in the secondary, and you know, there was some

2174
01:36:56,720 --> 01:36:59,000
Speaker 8: mitigation there. And Illinois is probably not a top ten

2175
01:36:59,080 --> 01:37:02,120
Speaker 8: team over the course of the season. But the way

2176
01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:03,880
Speaker 8: that game by fifty three points, and to do it

2177
01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:07,080
Speaker 8: the way that Indiana did it, you know that they

2178
01:37:07,200 --> 01:37:11,720
Speaker 8: earned that victory. There was nothing fluky about it. I

2179
01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:14,120
Speaker 8: think that tells you kind of where this team's mentality

2180
01:37:14,240 --> 01:37:14,720
Speaker 8: is right now.

2181
01:37:15,400 --> 01:37:18,479
Speaker 2: Zach Osman from the Indanapolis Stars covered the Indian Hoosios

2182
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:21,360
Speaker 2: for a long time, does an outstanding job. Zach, when

2183
01:37:21,360 --> 01:37:24,120
Speaker 2: you speak to the differencency between this year and last year,

2184
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:27,799
Speaker 2: could the line of scrimmage both sides of it? Obviously

2185
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:30,000
Speaker 2: you saw the d line headline a whole lot Saturday night.

2186
01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:33,320
Speaker 2: Is that an area that you do think could be better?

2187
01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:34,880
Speaker 11: Yeah?

2188
01:37:35,040 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 4: I do.

2189
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:38,080
Speaker 6: I do think that, And I mean I don't think

2190
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:39,720
Speaker 6: I'm the only one that thinks that. You know, when

2191
01:37:39,880 --> 01:37:41,559
Speaker 6: when a lot of.

2192
01:37:41,600 --> 01:37:45,720
Speaker 8: Sort of like national people talking heads btn different, you know,

2193
01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:48,840
Speaker 8: sort of people who aren't you know, sort of locked

2194
01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:51,519
Speaker 8: in the bubble of a single beat the way the

2195
01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:54,639
Speaker 8: way somebody like me can be at times came through

2196
01:37:54,680 --> 01:37:57,639
Speaker 8: in the offseason, came through in the preseason. The offensive

2197
01:37:57,680 --> 01:37:59,800
Speaker 8: line was a group that everyone kind of had their

2198
01:37:59,840 --> 01:38:02,800
Speaker 8: eye is on, because that was where I think you

2199
01:38:02,880 --> 01:38:06,040
Speaker 8: felt like Indiana was. You know, I don't want to

2200
01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:10,840
Speaker 8: stay found out, but I think clearly in need of

2201
01:38:10,960 --> 01:38:15,439
Speaker 8: improvement after the Ohio State game, Notre Dame game last season.

2202
01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:17,360
Speaker 8: You know, that Ohio State game is a great example

2203
01:38:17,680 --> 01:38:19,600
Speaker 8: people kind of forget because of the way we just

2204
01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:21,040
Speaker 8: again get wrapped up in narratives.

2205
01:38:22,160 --> 01:38:25,160
Speaker 6: It was seven to seven, you know, near the.

2206
01:38:25,280 --> 01:38:27,000
Speaker 8: End of the second quarter of that game, and it

2207
01:38:27,080 --> 01:38:29,240
Speaker 8: was two special teams miscues that they kind of broke

2208
01:38:29,280 --> 01:38:31,760
Speaker 8: the game open for Ohio State. But the reason why

2209
01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:35,320
Speaker 8: you were allowed to say Indiana was holding its own

2210
01:38:35,360 --> 01:38:37,760
Speaker 8: in that game, but also say it was very hard

2211
01:38:37,800 --> 01:38:40,760
Speaker 8: to imagine Indiana winning that game was Consion couldn't move

2212
01:38:40,800 --> 01:38:43,919
Speaker 8: the football after that first drive, you know, which was scripted.

2213
01:38:43,960 --> 01:38:47,439
Speaker 8: It was methodical. It's impressive. Indiana just could not move

2214
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:48,920
Speaker 8: the football. They could not win with the line of

2215
01:38:48,960 --> 01:38:54,000
Speaker 8: scrimmage at all. And you know, again, I think there

2216
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:57,840
Speaker 8: will be tougher tests, certainly this weekend, in three weeks

2217
01:38:57,880 --> 01:39:00,640
Speaker 8: at Oregon, et cetera. But I think one of the

2218
01:39:00,680 --> 01:39:04,479
Speaker 8: things that impressed people who again aren't locked in the

2219
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:08,680
Speaker 8: EU bubble so much about the Illinois game is that physicality.

2220
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:12,880
Speaker 8: And you know that that idea of you aren't going

2221
01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:15,200
Speaker 8: to out muscle us or out tough us. That's a

2222
01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:17,519
Speaker 8: line of scrimmage that is a ballmark of Brett vilam

2223
01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:20,320
Speaker 8: The teams and Indiana fans know that too well from

2224
01:39:20,400 --> 01:39:24,200
Speaker 8: some of the some of the beatings that Brett Vilain's

2225
01:39:24,200 --> 01:39:26,120
Speaker 8: Wisconsin teams put on them. You know, he scored eighty

2226
01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:29,320
Speaker 8: three points against them in twenty ten, sixty two points

2227
01:39:29,320 --> 01:39:33,519
Speaker 8: against him in twenty twelve. I think what impressed people,

2228
01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:36,720
Speaker 8: maybe nationally looking at it from a ten thousand view,

2229
01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:41,000
Speaker 8: was how much more physical Indiana looked. And obviously defensively,

2230
01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:45,960
Speaker 8: I think, yeah, I heard you talking about Patkins, you know, Abuda, Williams,

2231
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:48,040
Speaker 8: Bryant Haines. I think they deserve a ton of credit

2232
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:51,040
Speaker 8: for the way they have developed a defensive line that

2233
01:39:51,160 --> 01:39:52,880
Speaker 8: had to replace a lot of pieces. You know, they

2234
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:55,680
Speaker 8: got Michallcamara back. He's actually probably been a little bit

2235
01:39:55,760 --> 01:39:57,680
Speaker 8: quieter than what we expected. And here through the first

2236
01:39:57,720 --> 01:39:59,080
Speaker 8: four weeks of the season, I think you're getting a

2237
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:02,000
Speaker 8: lot more attention from the posing offensive lines. But that's

2238
01:40:02,040 --> 01:40:07,559
Speaker 8: allowed Joseo Wheeler, you know, dominic practiclife, Mario Landino, Kelln Wyatt,

2239
01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:10,679
Speaker 8: Stephen Daily, all these these new faces or young players

2240
01:40:10,720 --> 01:40:13,200
Speaker 8: that are coming up, Tyrek Tucker to go make plays.

2241
01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:16,519
Speaker 8: But the defensive line you kind of looked at and said, hey,

2242
01:40:16,560 --> 01:40:18,320
Speaker 8: last year, you know, the last two three years, really,

2243
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:20,360
Speaker 8: if you want to go back to Jamu, that group,

2244
01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:23,760
Speaker 8: the coach is handling that group, got it right, got

2245
01:40:23,800 --> 01:40:25,400
Speaker 8: it to a place where it was prepared to compete

2246
01:40:25,400 --> 01:40:27,240
Speaker 8: at that level. It was the offensive line that you

2247
01:40:27,280 --> 01:40:29,280
Speaker 8: felt like Indiana needed to take that step forward this year.

2248
01:40:29,320 --> 01:40:31,760
Speaker 8: And again it's four games in. There are some tough

2249
01:40:31,880 --> 01:40:33,880
Speaker 8: road tests coming. You're going to play a team this

2250
01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:36,519
Speaker 8: weekend that's going to challenge you physically again, then you're

2251
01:40:36,520 --> 01:40:38,960
Speaker 8: gonna have to go to Oregon in three weeks. But

2252
01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:42,559
Speaker 8: that is an area that even since the offseason, since

2253
01:40:42,600 --> 01:40:45,240
Speaker 8: the spring, since the summer, since fall camp, it has

2254
01:40:45,320 --> 01:40:48,559
Speaker 8: felt like anyone who's laid eyes on this team has

2255
01:40:48,640 --> 01:40:49,280
Speaker 8: identified it.

2256
01:40:49,280 --> 01:40:51,720
Speaker 6: As an area of improvement. And I think through the

2257
01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:53,559
Speaker 6: first four games, we're seeing that play out.

2258
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:56,920
Speaker 2: Zach, last one from me a part apology before I

2259
01:40:57,000 --> 01:40:59,599
Speaker 2: asked the question. I don't think you'll need to write

2260
01:40:59,640 --> 01:41:01,840
Speaker 2: something like this, but we actually got one of these

2261
01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:04,680
Speaker 2: questions while you were on and you know, you look

2262
01:41:04,680 --> 01:41:08,240
Speaker 2: around the college football landscape right now. We'll see about

2263
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:10,439
Speaker 2: Clemson at the end of the season. We'll see about

2264
01:41:10,479 --> 01:41:12,280
Speaker 2: Alabama at the end of the season. We'll see about

2265
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:14,400
Speaker 2: Florida at the end of the season. We could have

2266
01:41:14,640 --> 01:41:19,160
Speaker 2: some rather notable openings. I did an extension through twenty

2267
01:41:19,240 --> 01:41:23,040
Speaker 2: thirty two for whatever it was, eight million annually. Is

2268
01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:26,120
Speaker 2: that kind of speak for itself? Or are you gonna

2269
01:41:26,120 --> 01:41:28,479
Speaker 2: have to write one of these What happens if the

2270
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:32,200
Speaker 2: big schools down south come calling for Kurt Signetti articles again?

2271
01:41:33,320 --> 01:41:33,519
Speaker 4: Yeah?

2272
01:41:34,080 --> 01:41:38,200
Speaker 8: I never say never with that stuff, you know, I

2273
01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:42,000
Speaker 8: mean number one, I think even in the portal era,

2274
01:41:42,760 --> 01:41:46,360
Speaker 8: you know, probably part of the reason why Kurt Signetti

2275
01:41:46,400 --> 01:41:48,559
Speaker 8: made it as long as he did without a power

2276
01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:50,920
Speaker 8: for school scooping him up, was his age and where

2277
01:41:50,960 --> 01:41:53,439
Speaker 8: he was in his career and listen, I think he's

2278
01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:57,759
Speaker 8: proven you know that to be you know, a pretty

2279
01:41:57,800 --> 01:42:00,800
Speaker 8: bad way of thinking about evaluating him as as a coach.

2280
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:03,840
Speaker 8: But still, you know, he'll be sixty five by the

2281
01:42:03,920 --> 01:42:07,120
Speaker 8: time next season starts. A lot of places are going

2282
01:42:07,160 --> 01:42:08,599
Speaker 8: to want to feel like there's a better long term

2283
01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:11,800
Speaker 8: plan in the portal era though. I think maybe you

2284
01:42:11,880 --> 01:42:14,760
Speaker 8: can get a school or two that just says, if

2285
01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:17,400
Speaker 8: we can win now, we can build on it, you know,

2286
01:42:17,520 --> 01:42:20,280
Speaker 8: even if this is only for five, seven, eight years. Again,

2287
01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:23,360
Speaker 8: he's suggested he wants to coach until he's seventy five.

2288
01:42:23,520 --> 01:42:28,080
Speaker 8: I think if the number he's thrown out before, then again,

2289
01:42:28,439 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 8: all it takes is one. I would point out a

2290
01:42:30,600 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 8: few things. Number One, Indiana has more money, Like I mean,

2291
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:38,200
Speaker 8: I don't want to say they have more money than Clemson,

2292
01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:41,080
Speaker 8: but I do think that people need to appreciate the

2293
01:42:41,120 --> 01:42:44,000
Speaker 8: financial gap between the big Ken and the ACC now

2294
01:42:44,040 --> 01:42:46,960
Speaker 8: that doesn't exist in the SEC. I say, this is

2295
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:50,200
Speaker 8: someone who grew up down there. SEC schools are also

2296
01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:53,640
Speaker 8: just kind of weird sometimes, Like there were people at

2297
01:42:53,680 --> 01:42:57,760
Speaker 8: Alabama that didn't want to hire Nick Saban. They when

2298
01:42:57,800 --> 01:43:00,880
Speaker 8: they pulled him back from the NFL. Well, that is

2299
01:43:01,080 --> 01:43:05,080
Speaker 8: just the nature of that conference and sort of the

2300
01:43:05,200 --> 01:43:08,120
Speaker 8: intelerity of those fan bases. It's it's very strange. I

2301
01:43:08,200 --> 01:43:11,759
Speaker 8: also think there are some gonna be some pretty appealing

2302
01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:15,240
Speaker 8: top line candiates down in that part of the world

2303
01:43:15,760 --> 01:43:16,200
Speaker 8: this year.

2304
01:43:16,280 --> 01:43:18,040
Speaker 6: I think John sumrawl.

2305
01:43:18,640 --> 01:43:23,479
Speaker 8: It's golish if if a Florida or an Alabama opens,

2306
01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:26,080
Speaker 8: I wouldn't be stunned if they take a run at

2307
01:43:26,160 --> 01:43:29,160
Speaker 8: Lane Kiffin, who is you know, has done really really

2308
01:43:29,479 --> 01:43:32,120
Speaker 8: really really well at all miss Maybe he wants to stay,

2309
01:43:32,640 --> 01:43:37,120
Speaker 8: who knows. I also, again, I don't think it's it's

2310
01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:39,240
Speaker 8: really easy to say, oh he's you know, he's happy,

2311
01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:41,599
Speaker 8: or he'll never leave. I do get this in Signetti

2312
01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:45,760
Speaker 8: is very pleased with the structure that he has here,

2313
01:43:45,880 --> 01:43:49,920
Speaker 8: with the sort of continued level of investment financially from

2314
01:43:49,960 --> 01:43:52,920
Speaker 8: the athletics department. I think some of that, it shouldn't

2315
01:43:52,920 --> 01:43:54,400
Speaker 8: be lost in people that some of that is coming

2316
01:43:54,439 --> 01:43:56,840
Speaker 8: from the university as well. You know, it was the

2317
01:43:56,960 --> 01:44:02,000
Speaker 8: university that loaned the athletics department roughly thirty plus million dollars,

2318
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:05,080
Speaker 8: mostly to cover the cost.

2319
01:44:04,880 --> 01:44:06,680
Speaker 6: Of the coaching transition between.

2320
01:44:08,040 --> 01:44:13,719
Speaker 8: Between Ballent and Kurt Signetti the aptholical department handed For example,

2321
01:44:13,840 --> 01:44:17,040
Speaker 8: Kurt Signette' strength and conditioning coach, who new contracts in

2322
01:44:17,120 --> 01:44:20,360
Speaker 8: the off season to make sure he stuck around Indiana

2323
01:44:20,600 --> 01:44:23,840
Speaker 8: is bought into the idea of trying to make this work.

2324
01:44:23,920 --> 01:44:28,280
Speaker 8: It understands how important football success in football agency is

2325
01:44:28,360 --> 01:44:30,840
Speaker 8: going to be for schools in the next five to

2326
01:44:30,920 --> 01:44:32,840
Speaker 8: ten years in college ethics, and it is going to

2327
01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:35,920
Speaker 8: do everything it can to remain where it has gotten

2328
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:39,280
Speaker 8: to under Kurt Signetti. That doesn't mean I can stand

2329
01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:42,920
Speaker 8: here and say unequivocally there is no chance that anyone

2330
01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:44,240
Speaker 8: could turn his head again.

2331
01:44:44,439 --> 01:44:47,880
Speaker 6: All it takes is won. But I do think it's important.

2332
01:44:48,600 --> 01:44:50,559
Speaker 8: The way I would frame it more than anything else

2333
01:44:51,360 --> 01:44:54,960
Speaker 8: is that I do think it is important to recognize

2334
01:44:55,800 --> 01:44:59,679
Speaker 8: that Indiana financially is not what we would have thought

2335
01:44:59,720 --> 01:45:03,599
Speaker 8: of Indiana as ten years ago. There is a level

2336
01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:08,800
Speaker 8: of financial competitiveness for any team, frankly in the Big Ten,

2337
01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:12,240
Speaker 8: but certainly one that has been pretty fiscally responsible across

2338
01:45:12,240 --> 01:45:14,800
Speaker 8: the last ten to fifteen years, that has updated a

2339
01:45:14,840 --> 01:45:17,000
Speaker 8: lot of its facilities, that has been smart about how

2340
01:45:17,040 --> 01:45:20,840
Speaker 8: it's spent its money, and that is pretty clearly pushing

2341
01:45:20,920 --> 01:45:24,040
Speaker 8: more and more of it into football to get relevant

2342
01:45:24,120 --> 01:45:26,160
Speaker 8: and stay relevant when it matters as much as it

2343
01:45:26,240 --> 01:45:29,800
Speaker 8: does now, the calculus on whether it's going to be

2344
01:45:29,840 --> 01:45:31,639
Speaker 8: easy for a big school to pull a coach away

2345
01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:33,800
Speaker 8: from Indiana has changed a little bit. I'm not going

2346
01:45:33,880 --> 01:45:37,479
Speaker 8: to guarantee that it's impossible, but it has changed.

2347
01:45:38,520 --> 01:45:40,120
Speaker 1: Always good to talk to you, Zach. Thanks so much

2348
01:45:40,120 --> 01:45:42,559
Speaker 1: for stopping by. We appreciate it, enjoy the ride.

2349
01:45:43,880 --> 01:45:45,760
Speaker 6: Absolutely. Thanks for having me there.

2350
01:45:45,800 --> 01:45:48,160
Speaker 1: You go always good to get his insights and joining

2351
01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:51,280
Speaker 1: us on the Payless Liquors hotline. I don't know, man,

2352
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:53,360
Speaker 1: Indiana sure looks like they're for real and looks like

2353
01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:55,240
Speaker 1: they got some stay empowered James Boyd. And I'm not

2354
01:45:55,600 --> 01:45:57,679
Speaker 1: saying that in the context of what we've been messing

2355
01:45:57,680 --> 01:46:00,920
Speaker 1: around with, but as a good looking football last Saturday,

2356
01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:04,200
Speaker 1: I just looked down. Whenever I want to try to

2357
01:46:04,240 --> 01:46:05,480
Speaker 1: forget what happened.

2358
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:08,320
Speaker 2: You can't cover the game in Iowa City Kenneck Stadium.

2359
01:46:08,600 --> 01:46:08,840
Speaker 2: I'm not.

2360
01:46:09,080 --> 01:46:12,760
Speaker 3: Actually I left the great a beat very quickly. I

2361
01:46:12,840 --> 01:46:15,400
Speaker 3: want to say I didn't cover like the full Illinois

2362
01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:17,920
Speaker 3: road schedule. I think they had Iowa that year, actually

2363
01:46:18,120 --> 01:46:19,320
Speaker 3: the one year I did. But then I came down

2364
01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:21,639
Speaker 3: here to cover the Pacers, so missed that. But yeah,

2365
01:46:21,720 --> 01:46:23,400
Speaker 3: they say it's a really good environment and a hard

2366
01:46:23,439 --> 01:46:24,320
Speaker 3: place to play as well.

2367
01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:26,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it should be. It'll get you ready,

2368
01:46:26,680 --> 01:46:29,400
Speaker 2: I think for outsen and happy value. Later on the schedule,

2369
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:32,280
Speaker 2: a little over touchdown favorite Iowa did see yesterday, Kirk

2370
01:46:32,320 --> 01:46:35,240
Speaker 2: Farans announce their started running back will not play here

2371
01:46:35,320 --> 01:46:37,120
Speaker 2: coming up on Saturday afternoon.

2372
01:46:37,240 --> 01:46:39,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to a checkdown real quick.

2373
01:46:40,920 --> 01:46:44,080
Speaker 7: The morning checkdown on ninety sweet five and one oh

2374
01:46:44,200 --> 01:46:45,360
Speaker 7: seven five the fan.

2375
01:46:46,040 --> 01:46:47,920
Speaker 1: Good news and bad news for the Indiana Fever. The

2376
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:49,679
Speaker 1: good news is they took game one of the best

2377
01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:52,600
Speaker 1: of five series against the Las Vegas Aces in the

2378
01:46:52,680 --> 01:46:56,160
Speaker 1: semi finals of the WNBA postseason a couple of days ago.

2379
01:46:56,240 --> 01:47:00,320
Speaker 1: But last night Vegas strikes back with a ninety sixty eightctory.

2380
01:47:00,360 --> 01:47:03,760
Speaker 1: They've tied the series at one. Asia Wilson twenty five points,

2381
01:47:03,880 --> 01:47:07,439
Speaker 1: nine rebounds. Former Fever player than Melyssa Smith eighteen points,

2382
01:47:07,520 --> 01:47:10,840
Speaker 1: seven boards, Chelsea Gray had ten assists. Odyssey Simms leading

2383
01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:13,360
Speaker 1: the way for the Fever with eighteen points seven assists.

2384
01:47:13,479 --> 01:47:16,719
Speaker 1: Lexi Hole tight of Fever postseason record with five made

2385
01:47:16,840 --> 01:47:20,160
Speaker 1: three pointers. She had fifteen points, but not enough. They

2386
01:47:20,280 --> 01:47:23,920
Speaker 1: return to Indiana at the field House. Game three comes

2387
01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:28,439
Speaker 1: up Friday night, James Boyd and last you know, in

2388
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:31,320
Speaker 1: game one, Indiana kind of took it physically to the

2389
01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:34,040
Speaker 1: Aces last night. The Aces were the more aggressive team.

2390
01:47:34,080 --> 01:47:35,960
Speaker 1: What do we see in game three? Yeah, I hope

2391
01:47:35,960 --> 01:47:38,280
Speaker 1: we see some better officiating. I thought the game was

2392
01:47:38,320 --> 01:47:40,760
Speaker 1: way too physical last night on both sides of the ball.

2393
01:47:41,240 --> 01:47:45,080
Speaker 1: But also, I mean, basketball is not rocket science. It's

2394
01:47:45,160 --> 01:47:46,760
Speaker 1: very simple. You got to take care of the ball too.

2395
01:47:47,360 --> 01:47:49,840
Speaker 1: Thought the Fever were kind of kills with the basketball.

2396
01:47:50,400 --> 01:47:52,400
Speaker 1: You can't be like that against the team that will

2397
01:47:52,439 --> 01:47:54,240
Speaker 1: certainly make you pay for it. I'm looking here.

2398
01:47:55,280 --> 01:47:58,840
Speaker 3: The Aces scored twenty eight points off turnovers yesterday, So

2399
01:47:58,960 --> 01:48:00,599
Speaker 3: got to take care of the ball when you're margin

2400
01:48:00,720 --> 01:48:03,599
Speaker 3: for air is a lot smaller, I think, on your

2401
01:48:03,720 --> 01:48:06,040
Speaker 3: side than on their side where they have the four Olympians.

2402
01:48:06,320 --> 01:48:09,760
Speaker 1: All right. National Football League Week four comes into play

2403
01:48:10,439 --> 01:48:13,040
Speaker 1: Thursday night. Game coming your way Tomorrow night, Seattle Seahawks

2404
01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:15,719
Speaker 1: take on the Arizona Cardinals. We of course, are focused

2405
01:48:15,720 --> 01:48:18,760
Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon, when the Indianapolis Colts take on the

2406
01:48:18,840 --> 01:48:21,479
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams Colts. Get back to work today, getting

2407
01:48:21,479 --> 01:48:24,439
Speaker 1: ready for that football game. What's the injury watch today?

2408
01:48:24,439 --> 01:48:26,719
Speaker 1: As you guys go listen to Shane Stichen later this morning.

2409
01:48:26,800 --> 01:48:30,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, does Alex Pierce practice? Where is he adding concussion protocol?

2410
01:48:30,240 --> 01:48:32,240
Speaker 2: I would say normally, James, I don't know, what do

2411
01:48:32,240 --> 01:48:34,479
Speaker 2: you think eighty ninety percent of the time when a

2412
01:48:34,479 --> 01:48:36,960
Speaker 2: guy suffers a concussion in a game, he usually doesn't

2413
01:48:37,040 --> 01:48:39,080
Speaker 2: play that next week. I don't know. Those are kind

2414
01:48:39,120 --> 01:48:41,400
Speaker 2: of random numbers to throw out, but it seems like

2415
01:48:41,600 --> 01:48:45,400
Speaker 2: very unlikely. But still, where's Pierce at? And then Kenny Moore?

2416
01:48:45,520 --> 01:48:48,680
Speaker 2: How long will he be out? Those are probably the

2417
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:51,240
Speaker 2: two things to keep it on on and just anything else.

2418
01:48:51,280 --> 01:48:53,200
Speaker 2: You know, occasionally you'll have a guy that you know

2419
01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:56,799
Speaker 2: is added after not you know, feeling maybe anything Sunday

2420
01:48:57,200 --> 01:48:59,040
Speaker 2: during that game. So those are the things to.

2421
01:48:59,080 --> 01:49:01,960
Speaker 1: Watch, all right. College football? We just got to talking

2422
01:49:02,240 --> 01:49:04,519
Speaker 1: about Indiana football. They are seven and a half point

2423
01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:07,280
Speaker 1: favorites for their road trip to Iowa. That'll be a

2424
01:49:07,360 --> 01:49:11,240
Speaker 1: three thirty Saturday afternoon game. Notre Dame is in high

2425
01:49:11,320 --> 01:49:15,800
Speaker 1: noon against the SEC's Arkansas Razorbacks. Chance for Notre Dame

2426
01:49:15,880 --> 01:49:18,280
Speaker 1: to keep building on what they did last week, Kevin, Big.

2427
01:49:18,200 --> 01:49:20,439
Speaker 2: One, Arkansas can score a lot and Notre Dame has

2428
01:49:20,479 --> 01:49:23,759
Speaker 2: had major issues in defending teams.

2429
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:24,479
Speaker 1: Don't worry.

2430
01:49:25,160 --> 01:49:27,040
Speaker 2: I think anytime you go on the road in the

2431
01:49:27,160 --> 01:49:29,479
Speaker 2: SEC right, you gotta be a little worried. I mean

2432
01:49:29,520 --> 01:49:31,920
Speaker 2: that spread keeps on shrinking. That's a lot closer to

2433
01:49:32,240 --> 01:49:33,880
Speaker 2: three than it was at the start of the week. There,

2434
01:49:34,000 --> 01:49:35,920
Speaker 2: So again a couple of road favorites. That's a great

2435
01:49:35,960 --> 01:49:38,519
Speaker 2: college football slate, you know, even not you know, Notre

2436
01:49:38,600 --> 01:49:41,200
Speaker 2: Dame on the road, IU on the road, you get

2437
01:49:41,240 --> 01:49:44,400
Speaker 2: to Old Miss LSU. Can James Franklin finally win the

2438
01:49:44,439 --> 01:49:47,759
Speaker 2: big one? Penn State or again and then Bama Georgia.

2439
01:49:47,880 --> 01:49:50,800
Speaker 2: So this is not a pumpkin patch Saturday, folks, No,

2440
01:49:51,040 --> 01:49:53,240
Speaker 2: you know, put the pumpkin patch on hold. You can

2441
01:49:53,479 --> 01:49:55,759
Speaker 2: you can do the apple orchard next week. Diked in family.

2442
01:49:56,479 --> 01:49:57,479
Speaker 2: We got college football the.

2443
01:49:57,439 --> 01:49:59,920
Speaker 4: Way that Ashley Kevin says it, So make it true.

2444
01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:04,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm picturing Ashley right now being like, yeah, and

2445
01:50:04,920 --> 01:50:07,880
Speaker 3: we're gonna do what I want to do. Anyway, Charge

2446
01:50:07,920 --> 01:50:11,120
Speaker 3: that phone, charge that phone in fall for that stuff.

2447
01:50:11,720 --> 01:50:13,760
Speaker 1: Due can go to the apple orchards this weekend. They

2448
01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:15,439
Speaker 1: have a bye week so I'll see.

2449
01:50:15,240 --> 01:50:18,120
Speaker 4: What they end up doing till Todd Mayer to join them. Yeah,

2450
01:50:18,520 --> 01:50:19,680
Speaker 4: he'll kick rocks.

2451
01:50:20,200 --> 01:50:23,120
Speaker 1: He'll get a hay ride. It'll be good, all right.

2452
01:50:23,240 --> 01:50:26,360
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, Cincinnati Reds now a game behind the

2453
01:50:26,400 --> 01:50:28,439
Speaker 1: New York Mets for that last wild card spot in

2454
01:50:28,479 --> 01:50:31,439
Speaker 1: the National League, and they lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates

2455
01:50:31,479 --> 01:50:34,920
Speaker 1: four to two. But that's just because the Mets rallied

2456
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:39,240
Speaker 1: from a six to one deficit to beat your Chicago Cubs.

2457
01:50:39,320 --> 01:50:42,200
Speaker 1: Mark Dydon, where's the sad trombone for that one?

2458
01:50:42,320 --> 01:50:44,640
Speaker 5: The greater good is just getting the Reds out of

2459
01:50:44,680 --> 01:50:47,120
Speaker 5: the playoffs. That's that's the main goal right now. We

2460
01:50:47,160 --> 01:50:49,000
Speaker 5: can lose the rest of the rest of the season.

2461
01:50:49,080 --> 01:50:49,800
Speaker 1: They're working on it.

2462
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:53,080
Speaker 2: I know my job so far, and my Red's Buddy

2463
01:50:53,120 --> 01:50:55,559
Speaker 2: group text. There's four of us in there that are fans.

2464
01:50:55,640 --> 01:50:56,679
Speaker 1: That was like a sad group.

2465
01:50:57,080 --> 01:51:00,760
Speaker 2: I sent the w F group six one.

2466
01:51:01,120 --> 01:51:04,400
Speaker 5: I sent the w I thought you've killed and I

2467
01:51:04,479 --> 01:51:06,640
Speaker 5: thought you were off the Reds bandwagon. Now you're in

2468
01:51:06,680 --> 01:51:09,200
Speaker 5: a group chat. No sending w FLAG.

2469
01:51:09,360 --> 01:51:10,960
Speaker 2: Let me be clear, I want them to be in

2470
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:13,559
Speaker 2: the playoffs, but if for a month you've said they're dead,

2471
01:51:13,640 --> 01:51:15,400
Speaker 2: and now they start winning. You have to continue to

2472
01:51:15,439 --> 01:51:17,760
Speaker 2: say they're dead, right, don't look now, but here come

2473
01:51:17,800 --> 01:51:21,599
Speaker 2: the Red Legs. Now you're now you're playing with fire.

2474
01:51:22,720 --> 01:51:25,080
Speaker 2: Jeff has revived them. I have not, so I've got

2475
01:51:25,120 --> 01:51:28,200
Speaker 2: to continue to play. They're six feet under card and

2476
01:51:28,439 --> 01:51:30,559
Speaker 2: and Jeff single handedly put the Reds back into.

2477
01:51:30,439 --> 01:51:34,000
Speaker 1: This text line disagrees. They think that your position calling

2478
01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:35,800
Speaker 1: him dead has revived them.

2479
01:51:35,920 --> 01:51:38,120
Speaker 2: It's called reverse fandom psychology.

2480
01:51:38,160 --> 01:51:39,639
Speaker 4: What's Matt Taylor fall on that scale?

2481
01:51:39,640 --> 01:51:42,280
Speaker 2: You think he's killed, they're dead? That he thinks they're

2482
01:51:42,280 --> 01:51:42,880
Speaker 2: deader than I do.

2483
01:51:43,240 --> 01:51:45,759
Speaker 1: Are the Detroit Tigers dead? They want out a twelve

2484
01:51:45,800 --> 01:51:48,080
Speaker 1: and a half game lead in the American League Central,

2485
01:51:48,200 --> 01:51:51,800
Speaker 1: not not that long ago. They lost seventh straight. The

2486
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:54,720
Speaker 1: Guardians beat him five to last night, and the Guardians

2487
01:51:54,760 --> 01:51:58,080
Speaker 1: and Tigers are now tied for the Central lead in

2488
01:51:58,160 --> 01:52:00,200
Speaker 1: the American League. It'll be fun to watch that one

2489
01:52:00,240 --> 01:52:04,120
Speaker 1: played over the next radio Hug that is BRU and

2490
01:52:04,200 --> 01:52:07,120
Speaker 1: the New York Yankees defeated the Chicago White Sox yesterday

2491
01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:09,320
Speaker 1: three two Cardinals got to win over the Giants. I

2492
01:52:09,320 --> 01:52:11,519
Speaker 1: think I said that nine to eight was the final score.

2493
01:52:11,560 --> 01:52:14,360
Speaker 1: Day later tonight Reds will try again against the Pirates

2494
01:52:14,360 --> 01:52:17,559
Speaker 1: six six forty over at the Great American Ball Games

2495
01:52:17,560 --> 01:52:21,719
Speaker 1: against Green a good one MM. And the Chicago Cubs

2496
01:52:21,760 --> 01:52:24,679
Speaker 1: will try try and try again against the New York Mats.

2497
01:52:24,960 --> 01:52:27,439
Speaker 5: Lose out, make the red suffer, make them get again

2498
01:52:27,600 --> 01:52:29,800
Speaker 5: this close, and then beat them over the head with

2499
01:52:29,840 --> 01:52:30,599
Speaker 5: a bag of Nichols.

2500
01:52:31,200 --> 01:52:32,200
Speaker 4: Oh, that's graphic.

2501
01:52:32,680 --> 01:52:35,160
Speaker 1: Mariners punched their ticket in the American League playoffs last night.

2502
01:52:35,200 --> 01:52:37,400
Speaker 1: Now they're hoping to win one more game and they

2503
01:52:37,400 --> 01:52:40,920
Speaker 1: will then clinch the American League West. Anything else anybody

2504
01:52:40,920 --> 01:52:42,240
Speaker 1: wants to throw in, No.

2505
01:52:42,280 --> 01:52:43,800
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about Mark's bag of nickels.

2506
01:52:43,800 --> 01:52:46,200
Speaker 5: Where to get his bag of nickels in today's society,

2507
01:52:46,280 --> 01:52:49,639
Speaker 5: Mark sock full of soap does the same thing. Whatever

2508
01:52:49,640 --> 01:52:52,000
Speaker 5: you want to do, That's how the finish line. And

2509
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:54,479
Speaker 5: then as they're about to touch knock him down. That's

2510
01:52:54,520 --> 01:52:55,760
Speaker 5: how I feel to knock them down.

2511
01:52:55,880 --> 01:52:58,400
Speaker 4: Illinois IU game. But it was from the very beginning,

2512
01:52:58,479 --> 01:52:58,880
Speaker 4: not the end.

2513
01:52:59,439 --> 01:53:01,760
Speaker 1: Van Morning's rolls on Next ninety three five one oh

2514
01:53:01,800 --> 01:53:06,120
Speaker 1: seven five to We have been talking about college football

2515
01:53:06,240 --> 01:53:08,320
Speaker 1: morning long, and with good reason. The Indiana is off

2516
01:53:08,360 --> 01:53:10,240
Speaker 1: to a fantastic start, had a big game and a

2517
01:53:10,280 --> 01:53:13,240
Speaker 1: big win in the Big Ten for their conference opening

2518
01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:16,519
Speaker 1: of this past week. Here's something, though, that's crazy as

2519
01:53:16,640 --> 01:53:19,559
Speaker 1: we look at power in college football and everybody always thinks,

2520
01:53:19,600 --> 01:53:21,479
Speaker 1: you know, the SEC's got everything, this, that or the

2521
01:53:21,520 --> 01:53:24,879
Speaker 1: other thing. Right now, Tom Fornellie listed this today on CBS.

2522
01:53:25,560 --> 01:53:29,240
Speaker 1: The top five highest rated quarterbacks in college football are

2523
01:53:29,439 --> 01:53:33,000
Speaker 1: all from the Big Ten right now, four weeks into

2524
01:53:33,040 --> 01:53:35,439
Speaker 1: the season, four games completed, and.

2525
01:53:35,520 --> 01:53:37,879
Speaker 2: That's what happens when you play cupcakes in the non conference.

2526
01:53:38,680 --> 01:53:42,800
Speaker 1: But you know, even after that, though, Dylan Ryoa at

2527
01:53:42,920 --> 01:53:45,960
Speaker 1: Nebraska is number fourteen, Luke Altmeyer despite the loss, is

2528
01:53:46,080 --> 01:53:49,600
Speaker 1: number fifteen in Michigan State's aid, and Childs is eighteenth.

2529
01:53:49,880 --> 01:53:52,960
Speaker 1: And yes, you can talk about the cupcakes, but the

2530
01:53:53,520 --> 01:53:55,599
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are playing really good football in the Big Ten

2531
01:53:55,720 --> 01:54:00,280
Speaker 1: these days. It's true. So it's been fun to watch

2532
01:54:00,360 --> 01:54:03,320
Speaker 1: and I can't wait to see what Fernando Mendoza does

2533
01:54:03,400 --> 01:54:05,600
Speaker 1: with this platform. And it all comes down to what

2534
01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:07,640
Speaker 1: you were talking about a minute ago. How do they

2535
01:54:07,640 --> 01:54:09,679
Speaker 1: play against ben State, how do they play against Oregon?

2536
01:54:09,680 --> 01:54:12,519
Speaker 1: When they play their big games, who steps up in

2537
01:54:12,560 --> 01:54:13,080
Speaker 1: the spotlight?

2538
01:54:13,320 --> 01:54:16,479
Speaker 2: Boy? Mendoza was so good on Saturday night that third

2539
01:54:16,520 --> 01:54:18,640
Speaker 2: and goal touchdown. He had DJ Williams early in the

2540
01:54:18,680 --> 01:54:21,400
Speaker 2: game at a time that's a that's a Sunday throw.

2541
01:54:21,800 --> 01:54:25,160
Speaker 2: And I think you're starting to see, you know why

2542
01:54:25,360 --> 01:54:28,519
Speaker 2: the NFL scouts were gushing about him before the start

2543
01:54:28,560 --> 01:54:31,280
Speaker 2: of the season, and you know, now, I guess this

2544
01:54:31,439 --> 01:54:33,560
Speaker 2: is kind of the next test, which you kind of

2545
01:54:33,600 --> 01:54:36,760
Speaker 2: feel this way about almost the Colts start to this season,

2546
01:54:37,520 --> 01:54:39,400
Speaker 2: Like if you're skeptical in the cults right now, are

2547
01:54:39,400 --> 01:54:39,920
Speaker 2: you just a hater?

2548
01:54:42,240 --> 01:54:42,280
Speaker 10: No?

2549
01:54:42,760 --> 01:54:47,040
Speaker 4: I think you're probably still being a bit realistic, skittish street.

2550
01:54:47,200 --> 01:54:48,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're still skittish.

2551
01:54:48,280 --> 01:54:50,960
Speaker 2: You're like that, that's kind of what we value football

2552
01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:52,920
Speaker 2: last year, didn't we didn't we say, well, I haven't

2553
01:54:52,920 --> 01:54:56,920
Speaker 2: played anybody. Well, are you a hater? Or were you?

2554
01:54:57,400 --> 01:54:59,280
Speaker 2: Kind of right? I guess when Ohio State and Notre

2555
01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:01,920
Speaker 2: Dame showed up. You know, it's these weird things that

2556
01:55:02,600 --> 01:55:05,040
Speaker 2: we start to get into these teams and it's like, okay,

2557
01:55:05,240 --> 01:55:07,360
Speaker 2: are they legit? Legit?

2558
01:55:07,560 --> 01:55:07,840
Speaker 1: Legit?

2559
01:55:08,040 --> 01:55:10,760
Speaker 2: Like how far up are you going on the old

2560
01:55:10,840 --> 01:55:14,440
Speaker 2: tier ranking? Yeah, with you know last year Indiana from

2561
01:55:14,480 --> 01:55:17,680
Speaker 2: a schedule standpoint, and I guess a little bit this year,

2562
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:19,960
Speaker 2: although again I think when you beat a team sixty

2563
01:55:20,040 --> 01:55:23,760
Speaker 2: three to ten. It doesn't matter, and I think the

2564
01:55:23,840 --> 01:55:26,080
Speaker 2: Colts deserve that as well. They had The Colts have

2565
01:55:26,160 --> 01:55:28,000
Speaker 2: done something twice in three weeks. We haven't seen them

2566
01:55:28,080 --> 01:55:32,800
Speaker 2: do in four years. So that's why I'm really looking forward,

2567
01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:35,600
Speaker 2: I think to not only this Saturday, but I guess

2568
01:55:35,600 --> 01:55:37,320
Speaker 2: it's kind of two weeks down the road for Indiana.

2569
01:55:37,600 --> 01:55:41,160
Speaker 2: You know, now we're starting to get into legit, legit,

2570
01:55:41,440 --> 01:55:46,280
Speaker 2: legit competition, away from home competition. Here's some adversity. How

2571
01:55:46,360 --> 01:55:48,160
Speaker 2: do you handle it both for the Colts coming up

2572
01:55:48,200 --> 01:55:49,800
Speaker 2: on Sunday and then for Indiana. I don't know if

2573
01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:52,640
Speaker 2: Indiana will feel it to the degree this Saturday, but

2574
01:55:53,040 --> 01:55:55,040
Speaker 2: you know, certainly a trip to Oregon here in a

2575
01:55:55,120 --> 01:55:55,600
Speaker 2: couple of weeks.

2576
01:55:55,680 --> 01:55:57,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you bring up the Colts, and we talked

2577
01:55:57,240 --> 01:56:00,400
Speaker 1: about it earlier like this is. This is a team

2578
01:56:00,480 --> 01:56:02,600
Speaker 1: that's got a super Bowl winning coach, a super Bowl

2579
01:56:02,640 --> 01:56:07,320
Speaker 1: winning quarterback. They've got DeVante Adams, who had a spectacular

2580
01:56:07,400 --> 01:56:09,120
Speaker 1: run as a wide receiver and looked pretty good so

2581
01:56:09,280 --> 01:56:11,120
Speaker 1: far in the first couple of weeks. Now that he's

2582
01:56:11,160 --> 01:56:14,000
Speaker 1: been in Los Angeles, Poka Nakua is like the next

2583
01:56:14,120 --> 01:56:17,440
Speaker 1: big thing. As a wide receiver. Kyraen Williams has been

2584
01:56:17,560 --> 01:56:20,880
Speaker 1: terrific as a running back the last sea, especially last year,

2585
01:56:21,360 --> 01:56:23,760
Speaker 1: and the defenses You've been pointing out. Kevin is is

2586
01:56:23,840 --> 01:56:26,200
Speaker 1: better than people give him credit for. This is a

2587
01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:29,360
Speaker 1: big true test James for the Indianapolis Colts this week.

2588
01:56:29,360 --> 01:56:30,320
Speaker 1: And it's a road game too.

2589
01:56:30,960 --> 01:56:31,120
Speaker 11: Yeah.

2590
01:56:31,160 --> 01:56:34,280
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I look forward to seeing buddy Nate Atkins, who

2591
01:56:34,400 --> 01:56:37,760
Speaker 3: now covers the Rams previously covered the Colts. He's with

2592
01:56:37,840 --> 01:56:39,480
Speaker 3: us at the Athletic and I'm gonna square with him

2593
01:56:39,480 --> 01:56:41,640
Speaker 3: in the press box when I see him, like.

2594
01:56:41,640 --> 01:56:44,760
Speaker 4: You just did with Kevin Got I gotta fight somebody.

2595
01:56:44,840 --> 01:56:44,960
Speaker 7: You know.

2596
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:46,800
Speaker 4: They always say you can't lose the game in the fight, right,

2597
01:56:46,840 --> 01:56:47,520
Speaker 4: you got to do something.

2598
01:56:47,920 --> 01:56:51,080
Speaker 2: But getting might be using the Nate Akins bolt and

2599
01:56:51,520 --> 01:56:53,840
Speaker 2: board material this week. Didn't he dunk on our city

2600
01:56:53,880 --> 01:56:56,960
Speaker 2: on the way out? Yeah yeah, which he really really didn't.

2601
01:56:56,960 --> 01:57:01,120
Speaker 2: But Shane Side, yeah, say something about, you.

2606
01:57:13,320 --> 01:57:14,640
Speaker 3: you want to come on the morning show and he

2607
01:57:14,720 --> 01:57:16,280
Speaker 3: hit me with it. Well, I'm on the other show

2608
01:57:16,400 --> 01:57:18,680
Speaker 3: the same day, so I can't really do both.

2609
01:57:18,760 --> 01:57:20,560
Speaker 2: I was like, all right, you know, he just wants

2610
01:57:20,560 --> 01:57:21,839
Speaker 2: to say a little.

2611
01:57:21,680 --> 01:57:22,400
Speaker 4: Double dip there.

2612
01:57:22,480 --> 01:57:24,240
Speaker 3: You never heard anybody, But no, getting back to the

2613
01:57:24,240 --> 01:57:27,480
Speaker 3: actual game itself, this is a real test. I think

2614
01:57:27,520 --> 01:57:32,080
Speaker 3: the Rams every year are a perennially good team. Yes,

2615
01:57:32,120 --> 01:57:34,120
Speaker 3: they've kind of bottomed out a couple of years in there,

2616
01:57:34,160 --> 01:57:36,600
Speaker 3: but they've reachedt so fast and kind of made it

2617
01:57:36,680 --> 01:57:40,000
Speaker 3: work still despite you know, having so many changes they saw.

2618
01:57:40,000 --> 01:57:42,400
Speaker 3: I have that super boer winning quarterback and Matthew Stafford,

2619
01:57:42,880 --> 01:57:45,760
Speaker 3: superoar winning head coach and Sean McVay and those two

2620
01:57:45,800 --> 01:57:48,440
Speaker 3: guys together have given a lot of teams fists throughout

2621
01:57:48,440 --> 01:57:50,760
Speaker 3: the years. And so if you want to, I guess,

2622
01:57:50,880 --> 01:57:53,040
Speaker 3: gain more respect, you go out there and take it

2623
01:57:53,120 --> 01:57:53,440
Speaker 3: in LA.

2624
01:57:53,880 --> 01:57:56,120
Speaker 2: And one thing too to note about Sean McVay and

2625
01:57:56,160 --> 01:57:58,240
Speaker 2: I think Shane Steaking as well. You know, those are

2626
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:00,320
Speaker 2: two coaches that are head coaches that called the place

2627
01:58:00,560 --> 01:58:03,640
Speaker 2: and yesterday what do we see in Tennessee. We saw

2628
01:58:03,680 --> 01:58:06,120
Speaker 2: a head coach give up play calling duties. Yeah, and

2629
01:58:06,720 --> 01:58:09,040
Speaker 2: it's just a reminder that you know, it's a lot

2630
01:58:09,200 --> 01:58:12,560
Speaker 2: on both of those guys' plates. And you know, I

2631
01:58:12,600 --> 01:58:14,520
Speaker 2: don't want to act like Shane Steichen has accomplished with

2632
01:58:14,560 --> 01:58:18,560
Speaker 2: Sean McVay has accomplished yet in the NFL, but you

2633
01:58:18,640 --> 01:58:21,440
Speaker 2: know those are two I think very very well thought

2634
01:58:21,480 --> 01:58:24,800
Speaker 2: of offensive minds and handling that entire operation is difficult,

2635
01:58:25,040 --> 01:58:28,240
Speaker 2: and you know, again Sean has done it probably as

2636
01:58:28,280 --> 01:58:31,280
Speaker 2: well as about anybody. Andy Reid of course would be

2637
01:58:31,360 --> 01:58:33,080
Speaker 2: up there as well from someone that does all of

2638
01:58:33,160 --> 01:58:36,480
Speaker 2: that stuff play calling and head coach. And Shane Stikeen

2639
01:58:37,040 --> 01:58:38,920
Speaker 2: is off to a great start, admitted growth that he

2640
01:58:39,080 --> 01:58:43,160
Speaker 2: had after year two, but has definitely you know, done

2641
01:58:43,200 --> 01:58:45,840
Speaker 2: at this extremely high level here in year three.

2642
01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:48,480
Speaker 5: Isn't the handing off play calling duties we were an

2643
01:58:48,520 --> 01:58:51,240
Speaker 5: offensive mine head coach, that's the first sign that you're

2644
01:58:51,240 --> 01:58:51,800
Speaker 5: probably going to.

2645
01:58:51,800 --> 01:58:52,720
Speaker 1: Be out of a job soon.

2646
01:58:52,920 --> 01:58:55,240
Speaker 5: Well, like the whole point of you being hired was, well,

2647
01:58:55,280 --> 01:58:57,880
Speaker 5: we want this consistency and everything normally, you are right.

2648
01:58:58,160 --> 01:59:01,240
Speaker 2: The one exception to the rule is Sirianni. Yeah, I

2649
01:59:01,320 --> 01:59:04,160
Speaker 2: mean he is the poster child of it. And one

2650
01:59:04,160 --> 01:59:07,840
Speaker 2: of the Eagles won nineteen of twenty or won a

2651
01:59:07,880 --> 01:59:09,920
Speaker 2: Super Bowl when he did this something ridiculous and of

2652
01:59:09,960 --> 01:59:13,280
Speaker 2: course he handed them off to Shane Steichen. So yes, Mark,

2653
01:59:13,480 --> 01:59:16,360
Speaker 2: I think oftentimes that is And you know, Tennessee's got

2654
01:59:16,400 --> 01:59:19,200
Speaker 2: the awkward thing where it's like they hired Tennessee should

2655
01:59:19,240 --> 01:59:20,360
Speaker 2: have never fired Mike Rable.

2656
01:59:21,960 --> 01:59:23,560
Speaker 1: Can we go back to that for a second, hear?

2657
01:59:23,600 --> 01:59:27,440
Speaker 2: I mean, like, I didn't get that at all, And

2658
01:59:27,520 --> 01:59:31,880
Speaker 2: they've had some weird GM situations there, and I think ownership, I.

2659
01:59:31,920 --> 01:59:34,160
Speaker 1: Think it became a power struggle behind the scenes if

2660
01:59:34,200 --> 01:59:35,160
Speaker 1: I remember right back and.

2661
01:59:35,160 --> 01:59:38,000
Speaker 2: Shit, yes, so I mean Rabel hell, he had low

2662
01:59:38,080 --> 01:59:40,040
Speaker 2: key I think earned the right there to possibly have

2663
01:59:40,200 --> 01:59:43,280
Speaker 2: some you know, roster management stuff there. But I think

2664
01:59:43,280 --> 01:59:44,080
Speaker 2: they are regarding that.

2665
01:59:44,400 --> 01:59:46,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you look at the NFC West right now too,

2666
01:59:47,040 --> 01:59:49,720
Speaker 1: and everybody is above five hundred. It's just three games in,

2667
01:59:50,160 --> 01:59:51,880
Speaker 1: and even though San Francisco's in the lead at three

2668
01:59:51,960 --> 01:59:54,520
Speaker 1: and oh, the computer models still say that the Rams

2669
01:59:55,040 --> 01:59:57,720
Speaker 1: are the favorite there with a fifty one point three

2670
01:59:57,760 --> 02:00:00,760
Speaker 1: percent chance of making the playoffs, for whatever that is worth,

2671
02:00:00,840 --> 02:00:04,560
Speaker 1: but just interesting, the Rams are a blocked field goal

2672
02:00:04,640 --> 02:00:07,560
Speaker 1: return away from also themselves being undefeated, and they did

2673
02:00:07,600 --> 02:00:09,880
Speaker 1: that on the road against the defending Super Bowl champion.

2674
02:00:10,000 --> 02:00:12,600
Speaker 1: So this is the real deal coming up this week,

2675
02:00:12,640 --> 02:00:15,120
Speaker 1: and I'm curious to see how well the Cults are

2676
02:00:15,160 --> 02:00:17,480
Speaker 1: gonna do. And if you know, maybe maybe we get

2677
02:00:17,520 --> 02:00:20,160
Speaker 1: a shootout this weekend. Maybe we need to old.

2678
02:00:20,040 --> 02:00:22,320
Speaker 2: Runners in the NFL in week four forty eight and

2679
02:00:22,440 --> 02:00:24,840
Speaker 2: a half, as the Colds are about a field goal

2680
02:00:24,920 --> 02:00:25,480
Speaker 2: underdog in this.

2681
02:00:25,520 --> 02:00:28,400
Speaker 5: Way, that late slate on Sunday, there's some sexy games

2682
02:00:28,440 --> 02:00:32,320
Speaker 5: on there. Colts, Rams, Ravens, Chiefs, sign me up for that.

2683
02:00:32,440 --> 02:00:34,839
Speaker 1: Sounds like you're not going to Pumpkin Patch in Saturday

2684
02:00:34,960 --> 02:00:37,960
Speaker 1: or Sunday, No, I mean yeah. And then the Bears

2685
02:00:37,960 --> 02:00:39,760
Speaker 1: are playing the Raiders at four fifteen.

2686
02:00:40,360 --> 02:00:40,720
Speaker 12: That game.

2687
02:00:41,040 --> 02:00:43,360
Speaker 4: It's a trio of games that I'm gonna be locked

2688
02:00:43,360 --> 02:00:44,040
Speaker 4: in and ready to go.

2689
02:00:44,200 --> 02:00:46,760
Speaker 5: I hope I'm saying nice words like I was last Sunday,

2690
02:00:46,800 --> 02:00:49,400
Speaker 5: not four letter words I was saying last two Sundays.

2691
02:00:50,960 --> 02:00:52,920
Speaker 1: We'll talk about some of those lines and gets your

2692
02:00:52,960 --> 02:00:54,560
Speaker 1: ready to go for your Wednesday in a moment as

2693
02:00:54,600 --> 02:00:56,760
Speaker 1: we continue Fan Morning Show A ninety three five and

2694
02:00:56,800 --> 02:01:00,960
Speaker 1: one seven five the f O and makeing sure James

2695
02:01:01,040 --> 02:01:02,880
Speaker 1: Boyd is back with his Who's your T? Shirt?

2696
02:01:04,520 --> 02:01:06,400
Speaker 3: Looks good on me because I look good. This earth

2697
02:01:06,480 --> 02:01:08,520
Speaker 3: looks terrible, though, waste of money.

2698
02:01:10,320 --> 02:01:11,720
Speaker 1: I think we're just going to leave that one alone.

2699
02:01:11,760 --> 02:01:13,320
Speaker 1: By the way, Todd Meyers said good morning to you

2700
02:01:13,440 --> 02:01:16,000
Speaker 1: too in his very special way. Yeah, invicting.

2701
02:01:16,800 --> 02:01:18,240
Speaker 4: I appreciate being called number one.

2702
02:01:18,720 --> 02:01:19,240
Speaker 1: That's fine.

2703
02:01:19,800 --> 02:01:20,920
Speaker 4: I think I am number one.

2704
02:01:22,560 --> 02:01:24,360
Speaker 1: Interesting. I did want to talk a little bit on

2705
02:01:24,440 --> 02:01:28,120
Speaker 1: the way out about college football and it's changing landscape,

2706
02:01:28,120 --> 02:01:30,840
Speaker 1: and we talk about nil all the time, and it's

2707
02:01:30,880 --> 02:01:33,160
Speaker 1: been a tough run for Mike Gundy at Oklahoma State.

2708
02:01:33,160 --> 02:01:37,080
Speaker 1: They've lost eleven games in a row, and so he

2709
02:01:37,280 --> 02:01:41,320
Speaker 1: is out at Oklahoma State yesterday. Yes, it is true,

2710
02:01:41,520 --> 02:01:44,400
Speaker 1: and the athletic the athletic director wanted to thank him

2711
02:01:44,440 --> 02:01:47,280
Speaker 1: for showing what is possible at Oklahoma State. You know,

2712
02:01:47,360 --> 02:01:49,160
Speaker 1: you can win Big twelve championships, you can get to

2713
02:01:49,200 --> 02:01:51,240
Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff and all those kinds of things.

2714
02:01:51,600 --> 02:01:54,560
Speaker 1: But I also talked about this is not an inexpensive team,

2715
02:01:54,760 --> 02:01:57,600
Speaker 1: Kevin Bowen, and they expect more. And I wonder if

2716
02:01:57,600 --> 02:02:00,480
Speaker 1: we're going to see things like mid season an early

2717
02:02:00,600 --> 02:02:04,000
Speaker 1: season firings as things go on, because boosters and schools

2718
02:02:04,080 --> 02:02:06,040
Speaker 1: are spending a lot of money on these rosters.

2719
02:02:06,120 --> 02:02:08,160
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, I think it's a great point. Yeah, I

2720
02:02:08,200 --> 02:02:11,360
Speaker 2: think it's definitely. I guess a domino effect off of it.

2721
02:02:11,520 --> 02:02:13,480
Speaker 2: College athletics will be viewed a little bit more like

2722
02:02:13,560 --> 02:02:16,480
Speaker 2: pro sports, frankly, and patience is going to be shorter,

2723
02:02:17,040 --> 02:02:19,280
Speaker 2: not only with the coaching staffs, but I'd argue with

2724
02:02:19,360 --> 02:02:24,040
Speaker 2: players too. You know, if I'm said booster funding whatever

2725
02:02:24,440 --> 02:02:29,160
Speaker 2: significant portion of said players, nil, I'm probably gonna want

2726
02:02:29,160 --> 02:02:31,720
Speaker 2: to see some results. And I think you're going to

2727
02:02:31,800 --> 02:02:35,200
Speaker 2: get into a lot of really tricky and awkward language

2728
02:02:35,240 --> 02:02:39,360
Speaker 2: with some of that. And so yeah, the Guandhi thing was,

2729
02:02:39,520 --> 02:02:41,440
Speaker 2: you know, probably coming here for the last few years,

2730
02:02:41,480 --> 02:02:44,680
Speaker 2: Okhoma State's really falling off a cliff recently here, and

2731
02:02:45,360 --> 02:02:47,600
Speaker 2: but boy, he's probably one of the longer tenured college

2732
02:02:47,640 --> 02:02:49,480
Speaker 2: football coaches at his respective school.

2733
02:02:49,680 --> 02:02:50,400
Speaker 1: Come after me.

2734
02:02:51,560 --> 02:02:53,000
Speaker 2: I'm a man, I'm forty.

2735
02:02:53,120 --> 02:02:55,840
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, eighteen years ago, was that that rant?

2736
02:02:56,120 --> 02:02:58,120
Speaker 2: Gosh, eighteen that's crazy.

2737
02:02:58,320 --> 02:03:01,000
Speaker 1: Wow, that is a long time, And I wonder what

2738
02:03:01,040 --> 02:03:05,800
Speaker 1: it means, you know, for traditional non powers in the

2739
02:03:05,840 --> 02:03:09,960
Speaker 1: athletic department like Indiana or Purdue. Indiana seems to be

2740
02:03:10,000 --> 02:03:12,880
Speaker 1: adapting pretty well. And we'll see what the basketball program

2741
02:03:13,000 --> 02:03:15,600
Speaker 1: looks like now with Tarez there and a brand new roster.

2742
02:03:15,760 --> 02:03:20,680
Speaker 1: But overall, James, are these two schools that compete, that

2743
02:03:21,120 --> 02:03:25,200
Speaker 1: can compete financially. You're in, you're out, decade in, decade.

2744
02:03:24,920 --> 02:03:28,400
Speaker 2: Out, moving forward, it's a big question.

2745
02:03:28,400 --> 02:03:31,560
Speaker 4: You're talking about decade in, decade out. But so far,

2746
02:03:31,680 --> 02:03:34,320
Speaker 4: so good. I don't know it.

2747
02:03:34,400 --> 02:03:36,240
Speaker 3: It's hard to always protect that stuff because it does

2748
02:03:36,320 --> 02:03:37,480
Speaker 3: landscape change so often.

2749
02:03:38,280 --> 02:03:40,200
Speaker 5: We have some sad news to pass along, not to

2750
02:03:40,240 --> 02:03:43,320
Speaker 5: bring down the mood of the room, but Nancy Leonard

2751
02:03:43,360 --> 02:03:46,040
Speaker 5: has reportedly passed away at the age of ninety three.

2752
02:03:47,240 --> 02:03:51,560
Speaker 2: Wow, yes, all ways, hear from Greg Doyle, Greg mentioning

2753
02:03:51,680 --> 02:03:54,520
Speaker 2: here with sorrow. The children of Bob and Nancy Leonard

2754
02:03:54,560 --> 02:03:58,080
Speaker 2: announced the peaceful passing of our mother last night. Our

2755
02:03:58,160 --> 02:04:03,760
Speaker 2: health steadily declined in recent months, but her will to

2756
02:04:03,840 --> 02:04:06,120
Speaker 2: get the most out of life never wavered, as evidence

2757
02:04:06,200 --> 02:04:08,800
Speaker 2: by her insistence on attending Pacer games this past season

2758
02:04:08,880 --> 02:04:13,520
Speaker 2: at ninety three years young. She'll always be the Pacers

2759
02:04:13,640 --> 02:04:17,160
Speaker 2: number one fan. Our family extends a heartfelt thank you

2760
02:04:17,320 --> 02:04:20,959
Speaker 2: to all who lovingly touched Mom's life during her incredible

2761
02:04:21,440 --> 02:04:24,680
Speaker 2: earthly journey. We are especially grateful to her wonderful caregivers

2762
02:04:24,720 --> 02:04:31,400
Speaker 2: and healthcare teams. Dad joins us in shouting boom baby again.

2763
02:04:31,560 --> 02:04:36,520
Speaker 2: Greg Doyle releasing that statement from the family, I think

2764
02:04:36,760 --> 02:04:39,280
Speaker 2: it probably goes without saying in this market to our

2765
02:04:39,360 --> 02:04:42,560
Speaker 2: listeners what Nancy Leonard meant to the Pacers franchise and

2766
02:04:42,720 --> 02:04:46,400
Speaker 2: the Pacers franchise still existing. I think it's been pretty

2767
02:04:46,440 --> 02:04:49,240
Speaker 2: cool to see the documentary around the telethon that happened

2768
02:04:49,880 --> 02:04:52,160
Speaker 2: what probably fifty years ago at this point, I don't know,

2769
02:04:52,280 --> 02:04:55,640
Speaker 2: forty fifty years ago that helped keep the Pacers in

2770
02:04:56,480 --> 02:05:00,520
Speaker 2: our great state, and I don't know. To me, thinks

2771
02:05:00,600 --> 02:05:02,720
Speaker 2: that she and Slick will have a lot of memories

2772
02:05:02,800 --> 02:05:05,240
Speaker 2: to talk about with this Pacer season and they might

2773
02:05:05,320 --> 02:05:08,440
Speaker 2: have some needed rooting interests from uptop coming on Friday

2774
02:05:08,520 --> 02:05:08,840
Speaker 2: Night right.

2775
02:05:09,360 --> 02:05:13,080
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean, the Pacers would not be in Indianapolis

2776
02:05:13,120 --> 02:05:16,920
Speaker 3: without Nancy Leonard, who saved the franchise with the telethon,

2777
02:05:17,040 --> 02:05:19,960
Speaker 3: and then on top of that, if I do remember correctly,

2778
02:05:20,000 --> 02:05:23,680
Speaker 3: Kevin after they punched their ticket to the finals, Miles Turner,

2779
02:05:23,720 --> 02:05:25,880
Speaker 3: one of the first people he hugged after that was

2780
02:05:26,080 --> 02:05:28,400
Speaker 3: Nancy Leonard. One of my favorite moments probably of that

2781
02:05:28,840 --> 02:05:32,200
Speaker 3: the matriarch of the Pacers franchise. So rest in peace

2782
02:05:32,200 --> 02:05:35,480
Speaker 3: of hurricanduleces to her family. But certainly a legacy that

2783
02:05:35,880 --> 02:05:37,120
Speaker 3: is truly one of one.

2784
02:05:37,360 --> 02:05:39,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Mark, you you know better than anybody. When

2785
02:05:39,360 --> 02:05:41,440
Speaker 1: when Slick was around, he was a really good friend

2786
02:05:41,440 --> 02:05:42,920
Speaker 1: of the morning show. He would come on all the

2787
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:46,040
Speaker 1: time and would have great conversations. By extension, we got

2788
02:05:46,080 --> 02:05:49,200
Speaker 1: to know Nancy as more than just you know this

2789
02:05:49,360 --> 02:05:53,320
Speaker 1: public person. You said ninety three, Kevin, Right, that's a

2790
02:05:53,480 --> 02:05:55,960
Speaker 1: that's a heck of a run. But Mark, you and

2791
02:05:56,040 --> 02:05:57,640
Speaker 1: I just locked eyes and I think we kind of

2792
02:05:57,720 --> 02:05:59,360
Speaker 1: both had a little gut punch right there.

2793
02:05:59,400 --> 02:05:59,560
Speaker 12: Yep.

2794
02:05:59,680 --> 02:06:01,520
Speaker 5: She would usually be the one that answered the phone

2795
02:06:01,600 --> 02:06:03,160
Speaker 5: like a Slick there, It's like, yeah, I'm here too.

2796
02:06:03,280 --> 02:06:05,000
Speaker 5: So she'd hop on every once in a while with us.

2797
02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:07,760
Speaker 5: And there were two of the nicest humans you will

2798
02:06:07,800 --> 02:06:10,520
Speaker 5: ever meet. And Yeah, very sad to see that they

2799
02:06:10,560 --> 02:06:12,880
Speaker 5: have gone because obviously the legacy that they leave behind

2800
02:06:13,200 --> 02:06:16,680
Speaker 5: in Indiana, sports and just being just amazing people, they

2801
02:06:16,720 --> 02:06:17,640
Speaker 5: will be greatly missed.

2802
02:06:17,680 --> 02:06:19,240
Speaker 2: I know I shared this when Slick pass but I

2803
02:06:19,280 --> 02:06:21,880
Speaker 2: worked at Plumb Creek golf Course when I was in

2804
02:06:21,960 --> 02:06:23,600
Speaker 2: high school in a little bit of my college years,

2805
02:06:23,880 --> 02:06:28,040
Speaker 2: and Slick would play there quite often. They called themselves

2806
02:06:28,080 --> 02:06:30,960
Speaker 2: the old Farts, a bunch of older guys come out

2807
02:06:31,000 --> 02:06:32,840
Speaker 2: and play on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Slick was a

2808
02:06:32,880 --> 02:06:35,440
Speaker 2: part of that group. And you know, his health at

2809
02:06:35,480 --> 02:06:37,880
Speaker 2: that point I don't think allowed him to play eighteen

2810
02:06:37,880 --> 02:06:41,440
Speaker 2: holes necessarily every single you know week, and so sometimes

2811
02:06:41,480 --> 02:06:43,160
Speaker 2: he'd only play nine or twelve or something like that,

2812
02:06:43,280 --> 02:06:45,520
Speaker 2: and then he'd come over by the cart barn and

2813
02:06:45,640 --> 02:06:48,720
Speaker 2: kind of sit there and just chat and you know what,

2814
02:06:48,800 --> 02:06:52,240
Speaker 2: would want to chat with us. I mean, like the

2815
02:06:52,320 --> 02:06:54,000
Speaker 2: cart boys. I mean, we were about as low as

2816
02:06:54,040 --> 02:06:57,200
Speaker 2: they come in terms of golf course workers out there.

2817
02:06:57,400 --> 02:06:59,720
Speaker 2: And some of my favorite memories just chatting with Slick

2818
02:06:59,720 --> 02:07:04,240
Speaker 2: and genuine conversation that he would have with us. Symbolic

2819
02:07:04,440 --> 02:07:06,760
Speaker 2: I didn't know Nancy very well said hi to our

2820
02:07:06,800 --> 02:07:09,480
Speaker 2: pacer games. So that was about it. Yeah, I mean,

2821
02:07:09,640 --> 02:07:13,880
Speaker 2: just an unbelievable figure in that franchise, and rest in

2822
02:07:13,920 --> 02:07:15,080
Speaker 2: peace to a great, great woman.

2823
02:07:15,200 --> 02:07:18,360
Speaker 5: Well, Slick has the statue at the Children's Seaseum. Nancy

2824
02:07:19,200 --> 02:07:21,480
Speaker 5: sure as hell deserves a statue is with an impact

2825
02:07:21,520 --> 02:07:22,400
Speaker 5: that she had at the end of.

2826
02:07:22,440 --> 02:07:25,840
Speaker 1: That somewhere, Yeah, no question about that. And again, these

2827
02:07:25,880 --> 02:07:28,880
Speaker 1: are the foundational pieces of the Indiana Pacers, of the

2828
02:07:28,920 --> 02:07:31,680
Speaker 1: team that makes that run to the NBA Finals. And

2829
02:07:31,720 --> 02:07:34,640
Speaker 1: I think we all were missing Slick during that amazing

2830
02:07:34,720 --> 02:07:36,880
Speaker 1: run and always thinking about what he and Nancy would

2831
02:07:36,880 --> 02:07:38,920
Speaker 1: would think about that run, how much fun they'd be

2832
02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:40,640
Speaker 1: having with it, Not so much what they think about it,

2833
02:07:40,680 --> 02:07:42,880
Speaker 1: but how much fun they'd be having with it. And

2834
02:07:44,240 --> 02:07:47,560
Speaker 1: it's just it's difficult, even though we lost Slick a

2835
02:07:47,600 --> 02:07:52,480
Speaker 1: little while ago, it's difficult to comprehend an Indiana sports

2836
02:07:52,520 --> 02:07:55,400
Speaker 1: scene without either Bob or Nancy Leonard right now. It

2837
02:07:55,520 --> 02:07:57,720
Speaker 1: really is. And I know, like I said, ninety three

2838
02:07:57,840 --> 02:08:00,440
Speaker 1: is a terrific run and all the things that both

2839
02:08:00,480 --> 02:08:03,640
Speaker 1: of them did with their lives meaningful, impactful, making this

2840
02:08:03,760 --> 02:08:06,960
Speaker 1: city a better place, making the sports culture what it was.

2841
02:08:07,080 --> 02:08:08,560
Speaker 1: And I know we could go on and on and

2842
02:08:09,160 --> 02:08:11,720
Speaker 1: with good reason to, but that's just a tough one

2843
02:08:11,840 --> 02:08:13,720
Speaker 1: to take this morning. Mark, Just tough.

2844
02:08:13,960 --> 02:08:16,360
Speaker 4: That's a definition of a gut punch.

2845
02:08:16,840 --> 02:08:20,280
Speaker 2: I'm tru sure where did that telethon recently? Where did

2846
02:08:20,320 --> 02:08:21,040
Speaker 2: that re air?

2847
02:08:21,240 --> 02:08:21,760
Speaker 1: Was it like a.

2848
02:08:23,520 --> 02:08:26,280
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of like a was it? John Green put

2849
02:08:26,320 --> 02:08:28,240
Speaker 2: that together. I don't know where I watched.

2850
02:08:28,400 --> 02:08:30,360
Speaker 1: I think I saw it on PBS.

2851
02:08:30,800 --> 02:08:33,360
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, yeah, that was kind of popping into my head.

2852
02:08:33,440 --> 02:08:35,480
Speaker 2: But James does a great point. You brought up about,

2853
02:08:35,640 --> 02:08:38,680
Speaker 2: you know, Miles Turner's embrace of Nancy Leonard, and yeah,

2854
02:08:38,680 --> 02:08:40,200
Speaker 2: I mean to think of go, what was that three

2855
02:08:40,240 --> 02:08:42,880
Speaker 2: months ago? You know, she was there, you know, one

2856
02:08:42,880 --> 02:08:45,440
Speaker 2: of the biggest games in franchise history. So thoughts with

2857
02:08:45,520 --> 02:08:48,200
Speaker 2: the entire Leonard family and the Pacers family as well.

2858
02:08:48,480 --> 02:08:51,000
Speaker 1: All right, that's a tough one to end on. We'll

2859
02:08:51,040 --> 02:08:53,280
Speaker 1: talk about the life and legacy and Nancy Leonard a

2860
02:08:53,320 --> 02:08:57,040
Speaker 1: little bit more tomorrow. I'm sure thoughts and prayers with

2861
02:08:57,280 --> 02:08:59,520
Speaker 1: all of the Leonard family. They are terrific people and

2862
02:08:59,600 --> 02:09:02,200
Speaker 1: we're all with you today here at ninety three five

2863

Speaker 1: and one oh seven five the fan for James Boyd

2865
02:09:08,400 --> 02:09:10,320
Speaker 1: and we'll talk a little bit more about all of that.

2866
02:09:10,600 --> 02:09:12,879
Speaker 1: Jake will have a lot this afternoon at noon JMV

2867
