1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,880 Speaker 1: I say it each and every time we are out here. 2 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 2: Undoubtedly I love love, love, love, love love the Indiana 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 2: State Fair. And let me give you a little history 4 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 2: lesson about the Indiana State Fair and the Indiana State Fairgrounds. 5 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 2: Not the you needed history lesson, that's but you know, 6 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 2: I do enjoy the history of Indianapolis. Do you know 7 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 2: that if you were to take an aerial of the 8 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 2: layout of the Indiana State Fairgrounds, I mean, this makes 9 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 2: perfect sense. It makes perfect sense once it's explained to you, 10 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 2: But I don't know that you're kind of like aware 11 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 2: of it when you're here. The racetrack here at the Fairgrounds. 12 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 2: Of course, the Colisseum is just across the way, but 13 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 2: the actual grandstand and the racetrack here, which is a 14 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 2: one mile oval, is the exact geographic epicenter of the fairgrounds. 15 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 3: Wow. 16 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 1: So if you were to go and just stand. 17 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 2: In the middle of track basically where I parked, you 18 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 2: are the exact you are literally like in Kansas of 19 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 2: a map of the contiguous United States. And that's exactly 20 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 2: where we are right now. I am broadcasting failing is 21 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: here hanging out with me. John Griffins here as well. 22 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 2: But it is because you've been hearing us talk about 23 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 2: this all summer long, the Indiana Sired Fair Circuit where, 24 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 2: of course you get the pacer racing, if you will, 25 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: harness racing taking place, and this is the culmination week 26 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 2: next weekend or next week on the thirteenth, and then 27 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 2: today as well, it is Indiana Fair Racing taking place 28 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 2: here at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Everything got underway for 29 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 2: the Grand Circuit action just about thirty minutes ago, and 30 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 2: racing will continue today all the way up until one 31 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: point thirty. There will be eleven different races that take place. This, 32 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 2: of course is a celebration of horse racing and a 33 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 2: heritage throughout the state of Indiana, and we will talk 34 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 2: plenty about it over the course of today. Good afternoon 35 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 2: to you. My name is Jake Query. Eddie Garrison is 36 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 2: back in studio. Eddie had a late night last night 37 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 2: because of the fever. More on that in a second. 38 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: But the big talking point not just horses, like what 39 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: I'm watching right now, you know, really this is the 40 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 2: mix perfectly of the two teams in Indiana because pacers 41 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 2: are exactly the kind of racing that I'm watching with 42 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: the harness racing and those guys and gals are nuts 43 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 2: sitting back there riding around those horses that are going 44 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 2: around right now and warming up before our next race. 45 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: But in addition to that, of course, the younger horses, 46 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: and they most of them that we see today will 47 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: be two years old. The younger versions are colts, of course, 48 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: and yesterday the Colts in practice in Baltimore with the Ravens, 49 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 2: and listen, call me no stra damis. I predicted it. 50 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: It was the most obvious prediction of all time. But 51 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 2: I told you yesterday, I said, listen, I'm telling you 52 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: right now. Whenever these happen, these teams and it's not 53 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: like it used to be, you don't necessarily, like in 54 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: the old days, you don't have necessarily the teams that 55 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 2: have been working out and sitting around and laboring over 56 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 2: two days in the heat and no water and all 57 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 2: those things like you used to have. 58 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: And there's nothing wrong with that. 59 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 2: I mean, it's probably smart that we don't do it 60 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 2: that way anymore. But even with that, the tempers would 61 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 2: flare drastically because guys would get so eager, as they 62 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 2: always say, to hit somebody else, to hit somebody from 63 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,839 Speaker 2: a different team. And therefore whenever you would get some 64 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 2: sort of an organized scrimmage, And in particular, if you 65 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 2: have a guy that's his jobs in the balance, or 66 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 2: he's had a bad camp, or he's been struggling against 67 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: you know, let's say, for example, if you're a defensive 68 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: back for the Detroit Lions during the Calvin Johnson era, 69 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: and you're sitting there and you're going through two days 70 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 2: every day and you're having a lineup against Calvin Johnson 71 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 2: and Megatron's coming across the middle, and your jobs in 72 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 2: the balance, and you're like, man, what am I supposed 73 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: to show here? 74 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: What am I supposed to do? 75 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: When you're asking me to show what I can do 76 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: against a player, that's going to make a lot of 77 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 2: people look foolish, right, And so therefore those guys get 78 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: completely chomped at the bit to go out and show 79 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 2: what they can do against somebody else, and that's their opportunity. 80 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: Now I'm not saying that's the situation with Nate Wiggins, 81 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 2: who was a Clemson guy and I think in his 82 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 2: second year with the Baltimore Ravens and was a highly 83 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 2: touted corner. But yesterday it did not take long, and 84 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: the surprise was not that there was a brawl between 85 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 2: the Colts and the Ravens yesterday. The surprise was not 86 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: that Anthony Richardson got the starting reps, even though I 87 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 2: had talked about the strategy perhaps if they gave it 88 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 2: to Daniel Jones. The surprise was not that the Colts' secondary, 89 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 2: even depleted, was able to make life miserable at times 90 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: for Lamar Jackson. None of those things were huge surprises, okay. 91 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 2: And the surprise was not that eventually a fight would 92 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: break out, which is exactly what I predicted what happened 93 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 2: when we went on the air yesterday. I said, look, 94 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now, there's going to be some 95 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 2: sort of a fight today, and it took like thirty 96 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: minutes before it happened. The biggest surprise probably was the 97 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: fact that the fight was precipitated based on the fact 98 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: that Nate Wiggins, who is a guy that Baltimore has 99 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 2: a lot of promise about, was getting beat routinely by 100 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 2: Adie Mitchell. Because Adie Mitchell, who has had a good camp, 101 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: and notably the latter part of Camp, Adie Mitchell is 102 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: starting to come on. But this is what we have 103 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 2: waited for. But yet a year ago. It is not 104 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: a player that there's necessarily one that jumped out at 105 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 2: you or you anticipated was going to be any sort 106 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: of a difference maker in any way, shape or form 107 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 2: for the Colts offense. 108 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: And he may not be. 109 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 2: I mean, that's the thing I think we still get 110 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 2: caught up in. You know, hey, a guy had a 111 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 2: great camp, and I mean Drew Hadad. I mentioned it 112 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: all the time. Drew Hadad is a training Camp Hall 113 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 2: of Fame member. But you have to do it above 114 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: and beyond the fact that you know you're doing it 115 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: in camp. But when you start doing it and having 116 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 2: plays against a different defense, that's what's encouraging. So the 117 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 2: two big things that happened, probably three, the three major 118 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: storylines from yesterday would be, in no particular order, Ady 119 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 2: Mitchell's continued emergence and the fact that he was doing 120 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: it now in a different look against a defense that 121 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 2: he's not used to seeing and that's not used to 122 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: seeing him, and that he was able to get behind 123 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 2: that defense. That was probably storyline number one. Storyline number 124 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 2: two would be the fact that the Colts in general 125 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: have in their two quarterback positions. I don't know that 126 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 2: you would say that either one of them jumped off 127 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 2: the page, and you'd say, Okay, that's the guy right there, 128 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,799 Speaker 2: although it's still unless Daniel Jones jumps off the page, 129 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 2: it is Anthony Richards's job. And I personally think that's 130 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: probably now decided for all the reasons that I've talked 131 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: about a lot, and that factor of everything that goes 132 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 2: into why Anthony Richardson is going to be the guy. 133 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: But you know, Richardson yesterday was good. 134 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones was also good, but Daniel Jones didn't come 135 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: in where you say, okay, wait a minute, there's so 136 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 2: much promise in Richardson, and he has probably more upside 137 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: and there's more intrigued and we have more invested in him. 138 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 2: So therefore tie goes to the incumbent, and I think 139 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: yesterday overall you would probably look at performances and say 140 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 2: pretty much a tie. The other storyline that came into 141 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 2: play is the fact that you know, Lamar Jackson, who 142 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: is obviously a great player. We know that was picked 143 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 2: not once but twice. And the guy that and Eddie 144 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 2: we had him on, do you remember And I had 145 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 2: to kind of jog my memory on this admittedly, but 146 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 2: we had on a couple of different draft picks for 147 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 2: the Colts at the time of the draft, and you 148 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 2: remember the one of them was driving from Milwaukee to 149 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 2: indian It was during the paper Bucks series. 150 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: Am I correct? Eddie? 151 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 4: Uh huh, you are correct? Well, I know that the 152 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 4: series would have been over by then. 153 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 2: Was the series over with or was it? I thought 154 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 2: I was thinking the series was still going on. Maybe 155 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 2: we were just talking about the fact that the series 156 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 2: had ended. Because he is he was a Bucks fan, 157 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 2: Am I correct? 158 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 4: I can't recall if he was a Bucksman or not. 159 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 2: I'm being honest as native, a native of Wisconsin. Right, 160 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 2: two picks yesterday, and we have not yet said his name. Literally, 161 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 2: we have not said Hunter Waller's name to this point 162 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 2: in camp. Really, I mean at least we have not, 163 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 2: and you haven't heard a lot about it. But he 164 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 2: is at the safety position. He is playing at a 165 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 2: very high level, and that is good news because, yes, 166 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 2: does that mean that he's getting to be a starter. 167 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 2: It does not. Speaking of starters, We're about to see 168 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 2: ano race here, which is cool. But what it does 169 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 2: mean is that it continues to give them depth and 170 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 2: a lot of guys, probably especially if you're a seventh 171 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 2: round pick, you are working your way into showing that maybe, 172 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 2: yes you're not going to be a starting safety, maybe 173 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 2: you're not going to get reps right now, but at 174 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 2: the very least you work your way in where they say, look, 175 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 2: we've got to find special team's placement for this guy, 176 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 2: just to keep him active, just to keep him on 177 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 2: the roster, and just to keep him within our possession 178 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: because we like what we're seeing moving forward. And then 179 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 2: you have a depth as I always talk about with 180 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 2: defensive backs, defensive backs and offensive linemen, of sunglasses and 181 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 2: phone chargers, you can never have too many. You always 182 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 2: break them, you always lose one, you always need a replacement. 183 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 2: And so therefore having that sort of depth is good. 184 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 2: And that looks like a guy I think they were 185 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 2: very high on him when they drafted him, which obviously 186 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 2: that's why they drafted him, right, but I think they 187 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 2: felt he might have been a round or two higher 188 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 2: than where they selected him, and they went with it. 189 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 2: They liked his athleticism and instinct and that is starting 190 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 2: to show itself, and he's had a good camp. We 191 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 2: haven't talked a lot about it, but that was encouraging 192 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 2: to see in terms of what happened yesterday last night, 193 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 2: I guess you would look at the box score and 194 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 2: say that you can find a level of you know, okay, 195 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: it was made respectable, but that was a game that 196 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 2: got away from the fever last night. Eddie Garrison, you 197 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 2: were on the pre and postgame call for it, and 198 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 2: I was listening to the better part of the best 199 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 2: part about listening to the game was late in the 200 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 2: third quarter when John Nolan said, the Fever win streak 201 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 2: is in Jeopardy, And speaking of Jeopardy, that show is 202 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 2: filmed not far from where we are right now. I thought, okay, 203 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 2: a good tie in, like good pop culture Lion ti 204 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 2: In I was a fan of that. But the reality is, 205 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 2: eventually you knew that the way that they were playing, 206 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 2: it's tough. 207 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: I mean on the road it's tough. 208 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 2: But and Kelsey Mitchell had a very good game, but 209 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 2: Los Angeles was able to take advantage once again. What's 210 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 2: with the throwing the toys on the floor now, and 211 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 2: we'll just simply call them toys. What's going on there? 212 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 2: Do we know? 213 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: Is this a league wide epondemic or just to the fever. 214 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 4: It's the third time it's happened this season, Jake, and 215 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 4: it's the first time that it's happened to the fever, 216 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 4: so it seems like it's a league wide issue. 217 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 2: I thought it happened to the fever once before, because 218 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 2: didn't Sophie Cunningham post about it. 219 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 4: She did, but she was just in a gen rep 220 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 4: sense of stop doing this, and then it happened to 221 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 4: the fever. 222 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 2: Well, when she said when she said, stop throwing toys 223 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 2: on the floor, it's going to hit I'm paraphrasing, she 224 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 2: kind of jokingly said, like one of us is gonna 225 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 2: get hurt or it's going to hit us. And then 226 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 2: yesterday was thrown at her right, so she was kind 227 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 2: of inviting her shot there to an extent, I guess. 228 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 2: But nonetheless, overall last night reaction to what we saw 229 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles, Eddie, that's just the team, Jake, and 230 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 2: we talked to stuff with you why about it yesterday 231 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 2: that's had the Indiana fever a number. 232 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 4: Like they beat him twice in at Gamebridge and she 233 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 4: explained that the link that the Sparks played with creates 234 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 4: some issues for them, and that was pretty much on 235 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 4: display last night. And I had a feeling that game 236 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 4: was not going to go in the Fever direction, just 237 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 4: based off that first quarter alone, simply because we've heard 238 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 4: Sophie cutting hime after gave Stephanie White as Countless said 239 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 4: that if the Fever, when the Fever are winning, it's 240 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 4: because they come out with the defensive minded focus in 241 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 4: that first quarter. That wasn't the case last night. They 242 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 4: gave up twenty six points in that first quarter. Los 243 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 4: Angeles pretty much did whatever they wanted. Can't give up 244 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 4: fifty four points in the first half and expect to 245 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 4: be able to come back and win when you're down 246 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 4: double figures in the second half on the road. So 247 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 4: I thought it was a little anticipated going into that game. 248 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 4: It just felt like they would do for a loss, 249 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 4: and that's what ended up happening last night. 250 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 2: You know, the that's the thing, and you hate saying 251 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 2: it because you don't want to take you put your 252 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 2: foot off the gas at all, But when you've won 253 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 2: five in a row and you know, then all of 254 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 2: a sudden, you have this feeling of invincibility about yourself 255 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 2: and so therefore when you win five in our like that, 256 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 2: you feel like the streak's never going to come to 257 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 2: an end, and it's kind of like what and I 258 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 2: can't remember who was it said this during the playoffs, 259 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 2: but it's so true. When you are winning in the playoffs, 260 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 2: you feel like you're never again going to lose. And likewise, 261 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 2: when you have a win streak, you feel like you're 262 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 2: never again going to lose. Then when you drop a 263 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 2: game all of a sudden, then it's like everything's wiped 264 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 2: away and you feel like you're right back to square one. 265 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: That's what they have to avoid against. 266 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 2: And then of course Eddie, as we have talked about 267 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 2: the curve ball going into it, of reacclimating Caitlin Clark 268 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 2: and still and even after yesterday, still no more clear 269 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 2: indication as to win Kaitlin Clark's going to come back. 270 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 2: But if I had to guess, I would say it's 271 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 2: going to be when they go into that five game, 272 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 2: that five day layoff, after they have played basically back 273 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 2: to backs or every three games here for the last 274 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: couple of weeks. 275 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 4: So let me ask you this, Jack, Is it a 276 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 4: five day layoff if they tend to play on the 277 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 4: seventeenth and then the twenty second, or is it a 278 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 4: four day layoff because you're only off for four. 279 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: Day's ten fair fair five days. 280 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,719 Speaker 2: But yeah, four day layoff, I guess five days, right, Yeah, 281 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 2: so that's fair. But even still, though comparative to what 282 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 2: you have been up against, it is a bigger layoff 283 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: than what they've seen. 284 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 4: Yes, And Stephanie White said last week when she joined you, Jake, 285 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 4: that they would need to see practices, meaning multiple not 286 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 4: just to you know, one or two. They'll have to 287 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 4: see her go through a ton of different things. And 288 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 4: the integration process will be fascinating to see, Jake, because 289 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 4: I think that'll be the best time for the Fever 290 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 4: to start integrating her back within the flow of the team, 291 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 4: just because of how well they had been playing leading 292 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 4: up to the last night's game. 293 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 2: Speaking of integrating, by the way, I talked about the 294 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 2: fact that this is beautiful being at the State Fair 295 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 2: and integrating the heritage of the two teams within Indiana, 296 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 2: I'm talking about the Pacers and the Colts, which are 297 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 2: usually the dominant topics of conversation when you're doing sports 298 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 2: talk in Indianapolis. But of course the Colts we know 299 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 2: named for the horse breeding heritage in the state of 300 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 2: Maryland because they came from Baltimore, the Pacers we know 301 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 2: named because of the hardest racing heritage in Indiana, which 302 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 2: goes all the way back, by the way to the 303 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 2: late eighteen hundreds. It has been taking place here at 304 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 2: the Great Indiana State Fair, I believe since the nineteen thirties, 305 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 2: and from two thousand and seven to twenty twenty they're 306 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 2: actually in the state of Indiana. Was an over fifty percent, 307 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: fifty three percent increase in horse ownership and breeding in 308 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 2: the state of Indiana over that course of time. And 309 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 2: one of those watching the commission, Jessica Barnes, has been 310 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 2: in that position since January. 311 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: And this is a big day. It's pretty cool to 312 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: be at. 313 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 5: It is an awesome day when you have great weather 314 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 5: and you're out at the Indiana State Fair watching horse racing. 315 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 2: It is very cool. And you know, I think when 316 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 2: you watch this, take me through what's going to happen today? 317 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 2: Were going to see eleven different races today, right, Yes, 318 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 2: culminating in the and there's a lot of heritage in 319 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 2: what takes place, in particular in races ten and eleven today, 320 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: right because you have the Fox Stakes. If I'm mistaken, 321 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 2: you have the Ralph Wilfong memorial that takes place with 322 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 2: race number eleven. But this is kind of the celebration 323 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 2: of what's been taking place at county fairground statewide. 324 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 5: Right, Yes, yes, So today we have the ninety ninth 325 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 5: running of the Indiana Fox Steak, which is a race 326 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 5: that was created here in Indiana and has a long history. 327 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 5: Like you said, the county fairs have been racing since 328 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 5: the mid eighteen hundreds, the State Fair over two hundred 329 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 5: here is what I'm told. So every state fair has 330 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 5: had horse racing here. So just a great history here 331 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 5: in Indiana. The famous Dan Patch, which was credited with 332 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 5: being one of the first sports promoters, was here at 333 00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 5: the State Fair back in the eighteen hundred. So Dan 334 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 5: Patch has his own brand, you know, as we have 335 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:04,479 Speaker 5: like Michael Jordan'steck. 336 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say, Dan Patch is the the Tiger 337 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 2: Woods that Michael George the Peyton Manning of the era. 338 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: Right. 339 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, He's credited to being one of the first sports 340 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 5: promoters out there. People followed him and came to see 341 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 5: him and like he had cigar boxes, he had memorabila memorabile, yeah, 342 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 5: that people kept. So just a great rich history of 343 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 5: racing here in Indiana. 344 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 2: You know, when you think about and I know this 345 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,119 Speaker 2: and one of the things you know, I know obviously 346 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 2: Kentucky is known goes without saying for horse racing. And 347 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 2: I didn't realize this Jessica, and this show's you know, 348 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 2: my naivete but Bluegrass in general, I mean, one of 349 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 2: the things I learned is that one of the reasons 350 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 2: why Kentucky it has a rich history of horse racing, 351 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 2: is because of the mineral that comes within the grass there, 352 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 2: because of the essentially the rock bed that the state 353 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 2: of Kentucky lies on. 354 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: Do we see some of that advantage in Indiana? 355 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 2: And when you see the growth of horse breeding and 356 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 2: horse racing in Indiana to what do you attribute even 357 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 2: though there's rich history, to what do you attribute this 358 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 2: this surge of the last save fifteen to twenty years. 359 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 6: I think the. 360 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 5: Way that the Indiana legislature has positioned Indiana so the 361 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 5: horse racing industry receives a percentage of the gaming revenue 362 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 5: from the race tracks. 363 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 6: So that has created a surge of. 364 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 5: Money into the racing industry, which has then come back 365 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 5: to the state immensely. So our last economic impact studies 366 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 5: showed that the horse racing industry in Indiana is a 367 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 5: two billion dollar industry, right of. 368 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 2: What it gets through, which is amazing, right, Purdue that 369 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 2: has done a couple of studies of this, right, which 370 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 2: is amazing. 371 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's amazing. 372 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 5: If you a lot of people think about when you 373 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 5: see the races at the racetrack or here at the 374 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 5: State Fair, they don't think about all the people that 375 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 5: touched the horse racing before that horse ever makes it 376 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 5: to the racetrack. A horse is being bred three years 377 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 5: before it comes here, so that's taking up green space 378 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 5: here in Indiana. Horses have feed, grain and hay, just 379 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 5: the amount of food that they eat and can zoom 380 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 5: and contribute to the economy. And then you have veterinarians, trainers, grooms, 381 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 5: the trucks that have to be purchased to haul these animals, 382 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 5: the fencing to keep them. All of those things contribute 383 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 5: to our economic economy. 384 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 2: Is there a particular area of Indiana that is more 385 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 2: known for others in terms of horse you know, whether 386 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 2: farms and breeding. 387 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 6: Depending on the breed. 388 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 5: You know, you have some clusters of farms in southern Indiana, 389 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 5: so down you know, closer to the Kentucky border with 390 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 5: the breed. We have some standard breads down Montgomery area, 391 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 5: the Amish population. We also have some up north like 392 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 5: Fort Wayne Burn, Goshen that area. But we can tell 393 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 5: from horses that are registered to us that we have. 394 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 5: There are racehorses in all ninety two counties in the state, 395 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 5: so it literally touches. 396 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 2: Every corner and literally, like I mean the county. It's 397 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 2: been fun to listen to over the course of the summer, 398 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 2: whether we're talking about in Frankfurt, know, in Clinton County 399 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 2: or in the southern part of the state. I mean 400 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 2: they're literally are these harness races taking place throughout on 401 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 2: weeknights throughout the entire summer, right, yes. 402 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 5: Yes, there is, and these horses are getting I know 403 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 5: you've talked about this a little bit on your show, 404 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 5: but they're getting points. So there's like a championship series, 405 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 5: so that will happen next week. 406 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: Here they took the Governor's Cup, right. 407 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 5: Governors come so those horses are earning points to come 408 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 5: here and race, so that's why they're traveling to those 409 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 5: fairs and they're getting those starts. And the county fairs 410 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 5: is kind of like minor leagues for our racetracks. We 411 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 5: have the you know, Hoosir Park at Anderson, which is 412 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 5: your your major leagues for racing, and the county fairs 413 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 5: focuses on two and three year olds, so it gives 414 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 5: these horses the ability to learn and to make money 415 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 5: and to grow and hopefully make it to those major leagues. 416 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 2: So basically, Eddie, what she's saying is that the county 417 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 2: fairs are basically this show, and then when you go 418 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 2: to Anderson that's JMV. That's how that works, right, the 419 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 2: minor league step up. Now, let me ask you this, Jessica. 420 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 2: Jessica Barnes is our guest with the Indiana Harness Racing Commission. 421 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: The off season. 422 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 2: I know this is a really dumb question, but I'm 423 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 2: assuming that these horses are not coming out here and 424 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 2: running around when it's the polar vortex. So what exactly 425 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 2: does the off season entail? And how do you how 426 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 2: do they keep these horses fit and in shape when 427 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 2: they can't get out and run. 428 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 5: Around, they will actually so in the cold. Then we'll 429 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 5: be out actually out here jogging really every day. 430 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 7: Yeah. 431 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 5: So horses that are stabled here at the State Fair 432 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,360 Speaker 5: this is also a training facility, so they'll be actually here. 433 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 5: So horses that are a year old right now. So 434 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 5: standardbred racehorses don't race until their two year old year, right, 435 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 5: So people are making a huge investment when they're breeding horses. 436 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 5: You know, you're waiting until that two year old year 437 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 5: until you're going to see any profit from those horses. 438 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 5: So what will happen is this fall they'll start bringing 439 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 5: those year leans in and they'll start breaking them, which 440 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,959 Speaker 5: is basically getting them used to their equipment, used to 441 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 5: the race bike that you see them pull, those types 442 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 5: of things, and they'll start training them down so they 443 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 5: will go winter miles. 444 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 3: Now. 445 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 5: Of course, if there's five feet of snow on the ground, 446 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 5: they won't do it. But there's a year round track 447 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 5: maintenance here at the State Fairgrounds. Some of the other 448 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 5: training facilities, who's your park has year around training. So 449 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 5: these trainers it is a three hundred and sixty. 450 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 6: Five day a year job. It is an everyday your job. 451 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 2: And much just in terms of how people can both 452 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 2: learn more and start following it because it is really fun. 453 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 2: I mean you just watch it in general and see 454 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 2: you know, I call auto racing for a living, right 455 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 2: And I'm sitting here and I'm watching it and I'm 456 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 2: listening to Rick, and I'm thinking, I don't know how 457 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 2: he does this because of the fact that you're literally 458 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 2: going five to six wide when they come around the turn. 459 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 2: I mean, it's a whole different animal. Pardon the pun. 460 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 2: But if people want to start to find out more 461 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 2: and continue this growth, that could do so how. 462 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 6: Or where I think your first step. 463 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 5: So, the Horsemen's Association and a standard Association has a 464 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 5: really good website that is www dot Indiana Harness dot com. 465 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 5: You can watch the live racing from the racetracks.

So there's some names that 502 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 5: you've got to be able to say him really fast, 503 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 5: because sometimes names don't do well really fast and they 504 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 5: get not PG rated when you say them. 505 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 2: Really, it's like when when when Santiago Yorutia was taking 506 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 2: on battle, you know, side by side with you know, 507 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 2: Mario Marias or something.

I mean, I guess I should have 625 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 2: figured out that. You know, it wasn't like people were 626 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 2: stopping going out in eighteen forty nine to find gold 627 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 2: in the wintertime. I mean they were, you know, I 628 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 2: played Oregon Trail. The horses run all year long. I 629 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 2: guess they have. 630 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 4: To embrace all the conditions, and they have to, you know, 631 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 4: they have to overcome so much adversity throughout the course 632 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 4: the year. Is just to stay in shape. Care to us, 633 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 4: I mean, we have to do for you of being 634 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 4: able to go inside to a nice you know, heated 635 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 4: a gym or whatever it is, or air conditioned. 636 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 2: You know. I think horses are such cool animals, man. 637 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 2: They are cool animals, no question about that. Colts yesterday 638 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 2: Ravens practice out in Baltimore and they are getting prepared, 639 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 2: of course for preseason game number one, that will be 640 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 2: tomorrow night. And James sent me a text that said 641 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 2: he disagrees with me. And let me explain James what 642 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 2: I meant, because I get what James is saying. Allow 643 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 2: me to read the text. I said earlier in the 644 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 2: show that I thought that Anthony Richardson, if there is 645 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 2: any sort of a tie, that Anthony Richardson for sure 646 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 2: would be the guy that they go with because they 647 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 2: have more invested in Anthony Richardson. And James wrote me 648 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 2: a thing and said, I would disagree. The Colts had 649 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 2: more invested in Richardson. They're paying Jones fourteen million dollars 650 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 2: this year. Yes, Richardson was a high draft choice that 651 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 2: I believe they're expecting Jones to start. I get it, 652 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 2: and I'm that is a very good point. But I 653 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 2: think you have to look at what I mentioned yesterday, 654 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 2: and I think Nick Conjon had put it out on 655 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 2: the ex post Twitter of me talking about Richardson and 656 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 2: saying it's almost symbolically what they have invested in him. 657 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: And the reality is this. 658 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that it's fair, but there's a reality 659 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 2: when it comes to Chris Ballard and the Colts brass 660 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 2: and that reality is Chris Ballard knows this, and I'm 661 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 2: assuming that he assumes Jim Irsay thought this, and yes, 662 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 2: it is unfortunate. You know that there is the variable 663 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 2: now with the passing of Jim Irsay. But when Chris 664 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 2: Ballard came to the Indianapolis Colts. I was thinking about 665 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 2: this today. Actually this morning, I was somewhere and I 666 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 2: saw a guy wearing a T shirt that said the 667 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 2: rivalry is back on, and then it said, you know, 668 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 2: Chris Ballard, I'm like, man, that seems like forever ago, 669 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 2: where Chris Ballard as his first duty as the general 670 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 2: manager of the Indianapolis Colts, his first real job, his 671 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 2: first real assignment, his first real test was to hire 672 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 2: a head coach. And his first choice, excuse me, his 673 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 2: first choice was Josh mcday annuals, and we know what 674 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 2: happened there, and I had forgotten almost entirely about that. 675 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 2: I was in the press conference when he was explaining 676 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 2: what happened with the you know, the about face before 677 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 2: the contract was signed, after the Colts had announced that 678 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 2: they had made a decision on who they were going 679 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 2: to hire, and then Chris Ballard saying the rivalry is 680 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 2: back on, and he walked off and everybody was like, 681 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 2: that's my guy, let's go. Well, what's interesting about that 682 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 2: is that rivalry may still be on, but it faded 683 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 2: almost instantly because the Colts didn't uphold their end of 684 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 2: the bargain, and the and the Patriots now are a 685 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 2: complete afterthought with obviously bellis you know everything that's gone 686 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 2: on there. But with that said, the first big test 687 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 2: for Chris Ballard he had to get a second go 688 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 2: of it. And even then he goes with Frank Wright, 689 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 2: and that was almost like by a safety default. And 690 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 2: I think that Jim irsay, I don't know this, but 691 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 2: Jim Mercy probably had a lot to do with that 692 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 2: as much as anything else. But then something has happened 693 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 2: since then that makes me believe and validates why I 694 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 2: think that there is more riding on Anthony Richardson and 695 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 2: more invested. 696 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: And I'll get into that and. 697 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 2: We'll talk to James Boyd in just a bit as 698 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 2: well as another race has taking place. Only five in 699 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 2: this one, okay, so Eddie, you tell me, Okay, March's 700 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 2: seven rolling explosion, text me maybe?

Also, I'll continue my conversation about why precedent 722 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 2: indicates how big this is for Ballard in his mind, 723 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 2: and why I think he leans one way because of it. 724 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 2: We'll get to that next we return here to the 725 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 2: Indiana State Fairgrounds Quating Company on the fan. 726 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: Now, I'll be honest, Eddie. 727 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 2: During that last race, race number seven here at the 728 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 2: Indiana State Fairgrounds, part of the Grand Circuit action taking place, 729 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 2: I glanced away for just a second, but I'm looking 730 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,760 Speaker 2: now as they're bringing the winner over, and I'm fairly 731 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 2: certain who did you Who did you pick in that one? 732 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 4: At we had the winner, Jake, don't worry.

Oh, it's hard to. 747 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 2: Do because I got this chair here, and I got 748 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 2: a headset on and everything else. But there was a 749 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,839 Speaker 2: little bucking going on there for sure, just. 750 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: A little bit. 751 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 4: If somebody was behind you in the stands above you 752 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 4: watching and then just see this guy getting up and 753 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 4: just start just randomly dancing like. 754 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 2: What the hell with heads mind you? Yeah, yeah, with head. 755 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 4: It's a headset, Jake. We've established this. It's just one 756 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 4: one headset. 757 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 1: But there's two years so it's headsets now. 758 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:01,399 Speaker 2: Okay. So the Chris Ballard, So Chris when he took 759 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 2: the job with the Colts, I think there were he 760 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 2: was a young guy and there was a. 761 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: Lot of promise about Chris Ballard. There was a lot 762 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: of expectation. 763 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 2: There was a lot of discussion and chatter about the 764 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 2: fact that he was the bright, guising and rising star 765 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 2: within NFL executives. He had never been handed the keys 766 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 2: to a franchise, but he had worked in scouting with 767 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 2: the Chiefs and had success, and he gets the opportunity 768 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:30,240 Speaker 2: with the Colts, and I think that Jim Ersay again 769 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 2: was very eager to get a young guy that Jim 770 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 2: Ersay could. I think Jim Mersay with Ryan Grigson when 771 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 2: Ryan Grigson was hired. It is my belief that Jim 772 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 2: Mersay wanted to kind of erase the one glaring flaw 773 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 2: in the resume of Jim Irsay. Jim Irsay in the 774 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 2: one thing where he had it just didn't go the 775 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,240 Speaker 2: way that he wanted. His life was as the general 776 00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 2: manager of the Colts, when he was the general manager, 777 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 2: when his father was the owner, and he traded for 778 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,439 Speaker 2: Freddie Young, and he traded for Dickerson, and he brought 779 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 2: in Ron Meyer and they did the wishbone. And I 780 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 2: just always got the impression that Jim Mersay wanted to get. 781 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 1: And I understand it. I totally understand it. 782 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 2: You know, you want to make good on the one 783 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 2: thing where you felt you fell short. And so when 784 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 2: after Bill Pollion was here. I think Jim Mersay was 785 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 2: very focused on getting a young guy that not only 786 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 2: could Jim mrsy groom and build into a great general manager, 787 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 2: but also one that could still allow Jim Rsay to 788 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 2: And yes, he's the owner, he obviously doesn't matter who 789 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 2: it is. He's going to have some say in what 790 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,840 Speaker 2: goes on. But I think getting a young general manager 791 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 2: that is going to be impressionable to Jim Mersey's suggesting 792 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:52,800 Speaker 2: an influence was important to him. And so we know 793 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 2: what happened with Ryan Grigson, and he moved on from 794 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 2: Ryan Grigson, and I think he decided to go with 795 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 2: a GM that there was a lot of talk about 796 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 2: how Chris Ballard had checked all the boxes and that 797 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 2: other teams were very enamored by the possibility of him 798 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 2: being an executive, and so Ersay thought, here is my 799 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,240 Speaker 2: chance to get a young guy that I can continue 800 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 2: to still kind of make suggestion to. But at the 801 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,799 Speaker 2: same time, now Ersay is wanting to make good on 802 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 2: two things. Number one, his general manager era and then 803 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 2: secondly still showing that he had the ability to hand 804 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 2: pick a young guy that was the genius in the 805 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,800 Speaker 2: rough that he was going to get credit for handing 806 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 2: his franchise over to an unproven guy, which Chris Ballard was. 807 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 2: So then Ballard comes in and his first test is 808 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 2: that of the coaching higher it does not go well, 809 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 2: he has to get to make good on it. He 810 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 2: does to make good with Frank Reich. Even then he 811 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 2: had to again go through a search and hire, and 812 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 2: it looks like he might have gotten a good guy 813 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 2: in chains Tiken. You know, still remains to be seen. 814 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,720 Speaker 2: But for Chris Ballard, the other area where he wanted 815 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 2: to make sure that he hit was on the two 816 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 2: most important decisions that GM makes, what coach to hire 817 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 2: when there's a vacancy and what quarterback to hand your 818 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 2: franchise to. And on the first one he needed more 819 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 2: than one swing of the bat. And on the second 820 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 2: one he walked into a situation where he had Andrew Luck. 821 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 2: Everyone and their brother would think to themselves, look, it 822 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 2: doesn't matter if they won nine straight Super Bowls Andrew 823 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 2: Andrew Luck. Chris Ballard knew that a lot of that 824 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,879 Speaker 2: credit was going to go to Andrew Luck. And so 825 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 2: then Andrew Luck retires and now he is in a 826 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 2: situation where the quarterback position and situation is one that 827 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,799 Speaker 2: he has to address an answer to. And he went 828 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 2: with a couple of band aids, and then finally whether 829 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 2: it was Chris Ballard, whether it was Frank Reich, whether 830 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,840 Speaker 2: it was Jim Mersey, I don't think it was Chris Ballard, 831 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 2: but he went with Carson Wentz. He agreed to go 832 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:10,240 Speaker 2: with Carson Wentz, and immediately his boss, the owner, had 833 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,839 Speaker 2: took exception to the selection that he made. So then 834 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,759 Speaker 2: finally he goes back, and then he goes back to 835 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:23,400 Speaker 2: another band aid and ultimately it comes down to, Okay, now, kid, 836 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 2: you're getting your chance to put your total stamp on 837 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 2: this franchise by selecting the quarterback of the four that 838 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,320 Speaker 2: are in the offering. And yes, they were not drafting first, 839 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 2: but if you look at Houston, for example, you know 840 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 2: they moved up to get Stroud and Bryce Young, they 841 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,439 Speaker 2: moved up to Carolina, moved up to get Bryce Young, 842 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 2: and so that possibility was there. But the Colts were 843 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,840 Speaker 2: okay holding back because and he was on record of saying, 844 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 2: if I had the number one pick, Richardson is the 845 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,879 Speaker 2: guy I was going to go with. So he had 846 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 2: it on record that Anthony Richardson is the guy that 847 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 2: I Chris Ballard as the scout and the brain trust 848 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 2: that the Indianapolis colts. This is my guy. And despite 849 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 2: how much money he has given A. Daniel Jones, there 850 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,919 Speaker 2: still is the biggest investment in Anthony Richardson because it 851 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:18,800 Speaker 2: is the second chance at a position that the general 852 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 2: manager is so important and a linked to, and also 853 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,879 Speaker 2: after the first one of those being the coaching thing 854 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 2: not getting right on the first go round. You could 855 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,239 Speaker 2: make the argument that this isn't the first go round 856 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 2: at the quarterback, but in terms of a young franchise 857 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 2: quarterback plucking it into the draft, it is. And he 858 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 2: wants to make absolutely certain that he gets that right 859 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 2: because if he learned anything from Jim Irsay, it's the 860 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,320 Speaker 2: fact that when you haven't something where a critical decision 861 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,399 Speaker 2: is yours, or you have something on your resume that 862 00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 2: you feel like you fall short of your own expectation 863 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,399 Speaker 2: or external expectation, you chase the rest of your life 864 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,879 Speaker 2: trying to make good on that. And Ballard knows that, 865 00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,879 Speaker 2: and so Ballard is going to do everything he can understandably. 866 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 1: So I totally respect it. I totally get it. 867 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 2: Chris Ballard is going to do everything he can and 868 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 2: literally unturn every single rock and look at every single 869 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 2: pass and every single angle before he puts any sort 870 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 2: of finality into the fact that Anthony Richardson is not 871 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 2: the guy. And if they go with Daniel Jones this year, 872 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,439 Speaker 2: as the assumption, if they were to start in week one, 873 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,879 Speaker 2: that they selected him over Anthony Richardson. So unless there's 874 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 2: injury involved, if Daniel Jones is selected as the starter 875 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,840 Speaker 2: week one this year, for all intent and purposes in Indianapolis, 876 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 2: it spells the end of the era of Anthony Richardson. 877 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 2: And that means now that Chris Ballard, once again, with 878 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:46,319 Speaker 2: a benchmark decision, has to then ask for a make good. 879 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 2: And he knows from his predecessor and his not his predecessor, 880 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,680 Speaker 2: from his from his mentor in Jim mersay that you 881 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 2: chase that forever. And he knows it. And that's why 882 00:42:56,200 --> 00:43:00,760 Speaker 2: there is more invested and more involved with Anthony Richardson. Okay, 883 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,799 Speaker 2: Race number nine is about to get underway here, Reddie, 884 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,719 Speaker 2: let me give you the names you ready, Okay, we 885 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:10,720 Speaker 2: got bells for all high speed swan good luck, Mark 886 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 2: Tarzan won't let him and on to Norway. 887 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 4: Wait, wait a second, do we skip over RaSE eight 888 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 4: we just had? 889 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 2: Oh I'm sorry, I'm sorry I got ahead of myself. 890 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 2: My apologies.

We'll 925 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 2: get caught up on the Colts and the Ravens and 926 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 2: try to get exactly what it was that Adie Mitchell 927 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:58,399 Speaker 2: said yesterday he and Steven Holder. We'll ask him next. Okay, 928 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,919 Speaker 2: a couple of things to address here. Number one, Deal 929 00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,479 Speaker 2: the Odds was the winner there. In race number eight, 930 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 2: Number two Derby Up was apparently unaware of the fact 931 00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 2: the race had started a bit of a problem for Derby. 932 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,840 Speaker 2: Up finished the race to get the nickel, as Rick said, 933 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:18,280 Speaker 2: but way off the pace. And number three Eddie apparently 934 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,840 Speaker 2: sent video of me dancing to Shannon. 935 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,239 Speaker 1: Now, you kind of did me wrong, Eddie. 936 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,640 Speaker 2: I wasn't expecting and I know James about to join us, 937 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,359 Speaker 2: and there's people behind me here. But Deon Sanders dance 938 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 2: used to be It's kind of hard to do like impromptu, 939 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 2: but he would do like and then would go to 940 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:35,160 Speaker 2: the other side. 941 00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,719 Speaker 4: Here's the thing, then, where your currently position. We can 942 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 4: hardly see you on the YouTube, Boomer, so I can't 943 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,000 Speaker 4: really want clip it off to send it to Shannon. Now, 944 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,800 Speaker 4: she did say that with the initial rendition of whatever 945 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 4: the hell that was, she said that you should go professionally. 946 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 1: Of course, I'm a very good dancer. I'm very fleet 947 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 1: of foot. Listen. 948 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 2: I went to missus Kinnear's catillion when I was a kid. 949 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 2: I was a very good dancer. Do we have James 950 00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 2: by the way, we do all right? James Boyd joining us, 951 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,719 Speaker 2: and I'm sure thrilled to be doing so. Now he 952 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 2: is in Baltimore, Colts Owing is it Owing's Corner, Owing's owner? 953 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,799 Speaker 2: What's the name of the town that you're technically in, James. 954 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,759 Speaker 3: It was Owings Mills, So I'm actually back in. 955 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,279 Speaker 2: Indy Owings Mills. There we go, Okay, back in Indy. 956 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:22,240 Speaker 2: Is James Boyd? 957 00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:23,400 Speaker 1: Of course? 958 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,320 Speaker 2: You hear him in the Morning Show with Kevin Bowen 959 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 2: and jeff Rickord and was yesterday at the practice the 960 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,719 Speaker 2: joint practice between the Colts and the Ravens, and his 961 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 2: duties for the athletics. So James, let's get right to this. 962 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,600 Speaker 2: I want to get to the Ady Mitchell thing first, 963 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 2: because I think there was a lot of question mark 964 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,720 Speaker 2: and curiosity, understandably so, about whether or not ad Mitchell 965 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,000 Speaker 2: could maintain and sustain what he has done in the 966 00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:49,880 Speaker 2: let's say, last two thirds of the camp before they 967 00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:54,320 Speaker 2: got to Baltimore. And by all account yesterday, all signs 968 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:55,799 Speaker 2: are good with that, correct. 969 00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,840 Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, I believe the Colts just posted the highlights 970 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,879 Speaker 3: on social media and so go watch that after your show, 971 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,759 Speaker 3: of course, But yeah, he was cooking. I mean, the 972 00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,560 Speaker 3: guy looked stress out there yesterday. I would argue that 973 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 3: Adi Mitchell was the best offensive player for the Coast 974 00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,040 Speaker 3: and it wasn't particularly close. And I doesn't mean the 975 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,520 Speaker 3: other guys didn't say, well, but he looked like a 976 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:16,360 Speaker 3: star yesterday. 977 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:16,759 Speaker 7: And I know. 978 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 3: Everyone's gonna tell me is just appreciated. It's just a 979 00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,600 Speaker 3: joint practice. But I can only go based off what 980 00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 3: I see happening in real time. In real time yesterday, 981 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:25,920 Speaker 3: he was like the best player out there. 982 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,360 Speaker 1: Okay, And the question I would have. 983 00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 2: Is this, James, when when you look at Ady and 984 00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,800 Speaker 2: I asked this sincerely because we didn't get a whole 985 00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,960 Speaker 2: lot of opportunity to see this a year ago. Okay, 986 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 2: if Ady Mitchell is able to be the player in 987 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 2: this offense envisioned that they want him to be and 988 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:47,880 Speaker 2: he is out there on the regular I mean, we 989 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,160 Speaker 2: know that Michael Pittman Jr. Is your you know, your 990 00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,560 Speaker 2: dynamic like over the middle, durable receiver. 991 00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,719 Speaker 1: We know that Josh Downs is your get loose in 992 00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:57,520 Speaker 1: the slot guy. 993 00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,880 Speaker 2: We know that Alec Pierce is your beat the defense 994 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,480 Speaker 2: and hit the long ball when he gets behind the 995 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,360 Speaker 2: defense guy. And we know that Tyler Warren is probably 996 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 2: you're over the middle and then yard after catch guys. 997 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,799 Speaker 2: So what exactly when you look at Ady Mitchell, the 998 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:17,279 Speaker 2: perfect in vision for him is what operating area offensively? 999 00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 3: Good question. I think that he would play outside. I 1000 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,719 Speaker 3: think he would be I talk to coach Brigmanchuri about this. 1001 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,640 Speaker 3: But you will put on you know, opposite of Alan 1002 00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,960 Speaker 3: Pierce possibly and and force their defense at to count 1003 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,680 Speaker 3: for two guys that can take you Deepen and Curry 1004 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,239 Speaker 3: Valla piris as well. He's shown some riding his route tree. 1005 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,319 Speaker 3: So two guys that can kind of rash you up, 1006 00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,800 Speaker 3: but also you know, have to basically force you to 1007 00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 3: play two safeties over the top just case you get beat. 1008 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,880 Speaker 3: Like for example, Mike Cleyman junior, very good receiver, doesn't 1009 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 3: have the long speed that eighty Mitchell has. Thady Mitchell 1010 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,239 Speaker 3: around four to three come out of college and you 1011 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,000 Speaker 3: saw yesterday on the field, So I think that's where 1012 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,760 Speaker 3: ideally you would want to have it on the outside 1013 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,319 Speaker 3: from pressure on the safety's from pressure over the top, 1014 00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,120 Speaker 3: and then something the ability to you know, get back 1015 00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:02,520 Speaker 3: inside and play need because I think that Bitman could 1016 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:07,960 Speaker 3: be a pretty solid like possession catcher, slide receiver, slash 1017 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,800 Speaker 3: extra tight ends whereas Ady Mitchell I think, is you know, 1018 00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,440 Speaker 3: more built to be a Honestly, his skill set is 1019 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,879 Speaker 3: talent wise, it gives him ability to be a true 1020 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:17,839 Speaker 3: number one receiver. But I'm not saying he is right 1021 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,960 Speaker 3: now at all, I understanding talent wise, he has more 1022 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 3: than in that room than anybody else. 1023 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,320 Speaker 2: Okay, there was a fight yesterday, right and this was 1024 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,920 Speaker 2: how far into practice this. 1025 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,760 Speaker 3: Was probably I don't know, in hour plus it's a practice. 1026 00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,080 Speaker 3: It was one I believe it was like a second 1027 00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,839 Speaker 3: Special Teams period and I didn't get a good look 1028 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:39,520 Speaker 3: at it because they had two fields. And long story 1029 00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,279 Speaker 3: short for those listening, they are way more strict there 1030 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,560 Speaker 3: with media than they are here with us at cold 1031 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,640 Speaker 3: camp are there are persons you couldn't stand and you 1032 00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,600 Speaker 3: couldn't use their from the shirt and all the stuff. Anyway, 1033 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,840 Speaker 3: I couldn't see it that well. But what I understand 1034 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:58,000 Speaker 3: when I gathered uh Tyler Gudskon got lit up on 1035 00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 3: a special teams play on a part time, which is 1036 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,160 Speaker 3: kind of on call for. And then Nate Higgins, the 1037 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:06,400 Speaker 3: rageous cornerback came off the sideline and got to fighting 1038 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:08,680 Speaker 3: or it's got thattline started punching it. 1039 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,840 Speaker 1: So it's so bad it isn't okay. 1040 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,120 Speaker 2: So Nate Wiggins, by the way, who is Oh wait 1041 00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:15,560 Speaker 2: a minute, hang on, James, I'll let you in on 1042 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,239 Speaker 2: this race Number nine is about to get into way 1043 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:19,399 Speaker 2: here at the Indiana State Fair. 1044 00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,239 Speaker 1: So James will give you the first pick. 1045 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,080 Speaker 2: Here are the horses that are running in this the 1046 00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,560 Speaker 2: harness horses that are racing in this ninth race. James, 1047 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 2: you tell me which name you like best bells for 1048 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:34,880 Speaker 2: all high speed Swan, good luck Mark, Tarzan, won't let them? 1049 00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,920 Speaker 1: And on to Norway. Which one do you like best? James? 1050 00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,719 Speaker 3: Good luck Mark? Because that's that's Mark Ductive right now, 1051 00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,760 Speaker 3: trying to find those Mondos Kevin Bowen. 1052 00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:48,359 Speaker 2: Ex Okay, good yeah, good luck Mark. In general, it's 1053 00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,640 Speaker 2: a mantra for Okay, Eddie, which one are you going with? 1054 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:50,960 Speaker 1: There? 1055 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,040 Speaker 4: I'm going to go with an underrated Disney film. 1056 00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:59,360 Speaker 2: Tarzan Okay, Okay, Eddie, going with a film being underrated 1057 00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:01,319 Speaker 2: despite it being like a household name for the last 1058 00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,600 Speaker 2: one hundred years in film and screen. Okay, I'll go 1059 00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:08,360 Speaker 2: about I'll go on to Norway, On to Norway. Okay, 1060 00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:10,800 Speaker 2: there we go. We'll see, we'll see who wins in 1061 00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:15,080 Speaker 2: this one. James Nate Wiggins is a guy that is 1062 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,359 Speaker 2: a second round pick. He was out of Clemson. He's 1063 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,719 Speaker 2: a young guy for Baltimore and you know you had 1064 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,520 Speaker 2: mentioned that he came off after the Goodson hit and 1065 00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,759 Speaker 2: things that were getting heated. How much of that was 1066 00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 2: do you think frustration before that because Wiggins was the target? 1067 00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,920 Speaker 2: Am I correct and saying? And Ady Mitchell kind of 1068 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,239 Speaker 2: yapp into the media about the fact that he had 1069 00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,240 Speaker 2: been burning Wiggins on the regular basis correct. 1070 00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't know for sure if that's 1071 00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,360 Speaker 3: the case, but I do know that on Frock I 1072 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,839 Speaker 3: was I'm sitting outside here in the trucking. I'm gonna 1073 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 3: heare some people with that loud norther than his name. Anyways, 1074 00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,279 Speaker 3: with Ay Mitchell, I just think that he was cooking 1075 00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,360 Speaker 3: Wiggins double the fact, and it certainly didn't, you know, 1076 00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,800 Speaker 3: help Wiggans just taste, and so maybe he was just 1077 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,000 Speaker 3: said about that to begin with. But it was a 1078 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,520 Speaker 3: wild to see him or here that he ran off 1079 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,839 Speaker 3: the sideline to fight. Oh my god, So he got 1080 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,960 Speaker 3: ejected and then Tyler giftson stay in practice that all 1081 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,480 Speaker 3: he basically did was defend himself. So just a weird incident, 1082 00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,520 Speaker 3: but honestly, or it to be labeled as a fight, 1083 00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,800 Speaker 3: which it was a couple of bunches drones, Jake. It 1084 00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:23,279 Speaker 3: wasn't like an all out brawl where you know, people 1085 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,239 Speaker 3: will questioning what practice were zum. It was kind of 1086 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,719 Speaker 3: a little scuffle quarterbacks ran over. But I knew it 1087 00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 3: wasn't that big of a deal because Quentin Nelson never 1088 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,239 Speaker 3: gotten a mix, you know, among he's chilling everyone else 1089 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:32,759 Speaker 3: is killing too. 1090 00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. It's like if James Johnson's on the bench for 1091 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,480 Speaker 2: the Pacers, You're like, yeah, that was nothing right, It 1092 00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:38,920 Speaker 2: was mine exactly exactly. 1093 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,120 Speaker 3: You know, if you gets in there, then we got some. 1094 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,040 Speaker 1: Issues, James. 1095 00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:47,320 Speaker 2: Between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones, which one do you 1096 00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:51,840 Speaker 2: think saw more looks from Baltimore? Which one actually was? 1097 00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 2: Because that's one of the things I think that we 1098 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:58,239 Speaker 2: need to look at is it's not about necessarily what 1099 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:02,840 Speaker 2: these players are doing. These quarterbacks are doing statistically speaking 1100 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:06,600 Speaker 2: in these you know, scrimmages and or preseason games. But 1101 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:10,319 Speaker 2: more so, what are all things given equal? Are they 1102 00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,919 Speaker 2: going up against the same kinds of looks, the same 1103 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:17,800 Speaker 2: sorts of stunts. Which of the two of them yesterday 1104 00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,160 Speaker 2: saw a more realistic NFL defense? 1105 00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,200 Speaker 3: I think it was pretty vanilla for both of them, honestly, 1106 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,200 Speaker 3: and Kim Biden talk about just on the coaches side, 1107 00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:29,520 Speaker 3: you don't want to show a lot of your stuff, 1108 00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:34,240 Speaker 3: But I think that Anthony kind of forces the defense 1109 00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,399 Speaker 3: even if you have vanilla, to still be a little 1110 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,279 Speaker 3: bit different because of the running dynamic. I can't say 1111 00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones doesn't have that ability too, but I mean 1112 00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 3: Anthony when he Telby's a little bit more dynamic in 1113 00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:47,080 Speaker 3: the run game. So I thought that that was probably 1114 00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,880 Speaker 3: one of the biggest differences, was seeing Holla Raven's kind 1115 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,480 Speaker 3: of adjusted or try to adjust. The fact that you know, hey, 1116 00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,040 Speaker 3: if you got a Jane read, which was those for 1117 00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,920 Speaker 3: those listening, is basically a two man run game with 1118 00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,680 Speaker 3: the quarterback and the running back and he deciding whether 1119 00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:02,320 Speaker 3: to keep the ball himself and run or give it 1120 00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,200 Speaker 3: to the running back. There are a couple of times 1121 00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,200 Speaker 3: where you know, the Ravens gets wrong and they let 1122 00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,400 Speaker 3: you some big, big plays. So I think that he 1123 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:12,000 Speaker 3: saw more of like the variety defensions because he gave 1124 00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,160 Speaker 3: him more variety on offense. But I thought both quarterbacks 1125 00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,920 Speaker 3: had a pretty solid day, Jake, And honestly, I'm kind 1126 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:19,160 Speaker 3: of waiting for one of them to have like a 1127 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:21,239 Speaker 3: bad day, clearly, and they ever gonna have a really 1128 00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,399 Speaker 3: good day. They kind of held each so far. 1129 00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,520 Speaker 1: James, is there a disadvantage? 1130 00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,600 Speaker 2: James Boyd is our guest who was at the practice 1131 00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:32,560 Speaker 2: yesterday between the Colts and the Ravens and his duties 1132 00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,200 Speaker 2: for the athletic He also, of course, you hear on 1133 00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,520 Speaker 2: the morning show here the Faded Morning Show with jeff 1134 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:40,000 Speaker 2: Rickord and Kevin Bowen. As by the way, race number 1135 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,640 Speaker 2: nine is getting in away, my mom wants onto Norway. Also, 1136 00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,520 Speaker 2: she's also going with if On to Norway wins. I 1137 00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,000 Speaker 2: should what do you think, James, if On to Norway wins? 1138 00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:51,160 Speaker 2: I should take my mom to Norway? What do you think? 1139 00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:51,920 Speaker 1: Does that sound fair? 1140 00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:54,400 Speaker 3: That does sound fair? Sounds amazing. 1141 00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 2: I could probably take her to like you know, Oslo, 1142 00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,799 Speaker 2: Nebraska and call it even but race underwell, I let 1143 00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,359 Speaker 2: you know who wins here. But getting back to this question, 1144 00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:08,160 Speaker 2: if you are the Colts and whether it be the 1145 00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:12,560 Speaker 2: preseason games or these scrimmages, and there's tape on all 1146 00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:16,200 Speaker 2: of it, I realize is there a disadvantage for Indianapolis 1147 00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:20,480 Speaker 2: or any franchise that is having a quarterback battle in 1148 00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,640 Speaker 2: this fact, because you are trying to figure out which 1149 00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:26,440 Speaker 2: quarterback you want to go with, it forces you offensively 1150 00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,760 Speaker 2: to work on more things and thus open your playbook 1151 00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,400 Speaker 2: up a little bit more than you normally would. And 1152 00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,600 Speaker 2: while defenses might be vanilla at this point in the year, 1153 00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:39,399 Speaker 2: offensively you are forced to show a little bit more 1154 00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,920 Speaker 2: of the side offerings because you're testing both quarterbacks and 1155 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,480 Speaker 2: want to get them as many looks as possible, and 1156 00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:49,920 Speaker 2: that actually can be a disadvantage towards forecasting for teams 1157 00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:51,720 Speaker 2: more so who you're going to be in the regular 1158 00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,320 Speaker 2: season than you would normally do so in a preseason. 1159 00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,560 Speaker 1: Any truth to any of that, I think. 1160 00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,000 Speaker 3: There is a little bit truth to that. But at 1161 00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,560 Speaker 3: the end of the day, good and teams know what 1162 00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,640 Speaker 3: you're gonna do, you can still be able to put 1163 00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:05,839 Speaker 3: it off. It's just good enough to do it. I mean, 1164 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,200 Speaker 3: people know what the Chiefs like to do it, Patrick Mahons, 1165 00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:11,600 Speaker 3: people know what Lamar Jackson the Ravens like to do 1166 00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,520 Speaker 3: with him and his skillset, and they're still very effective players. 1167 00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:17,680 Speaker 3: Josh Allendo is another one. So I'm not saying Anthony 1168 00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,560 Speaker 3: Richard Den Jones will be either of those guys. W 1169 00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,360 Speaker 3: you know, most likely they will not be those guys obviously, 1170 00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:26,279 Speaker 3: But if you're able to, you know, execute well enough, 1171 00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:29,040 Speaker 3: you should be fine by showing a little bit more variety, 1172 00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,480 Speaker 3: a little bit more wrinkles in your offense. Your biggest 1173 00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:33,640 Speaker 3: thing is figuring out who do we want to play 1174 00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,520 Speaker 3: come week one on Sundays, and when we do make 1175 00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:38,960 Speaker 3: that decision. You know, obviously there's some injuries to deal 1176 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,759 Speaker 3: with Anthony Richard Jones too as well. When you make 1177 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:43,600 Speaker 3: that decision, you want to be confident in saying, this 1178 00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,759 Speaker 3: is our guy for the foreseeable future, and we're all 1179 00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:47,799 Speaker 3: over with him. We believe in him. 1180 00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:54,879 Speaker 2: By the way, on the Norway Wins, am I taking 1181 00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:55,840 Speaker 2: my mom to Norway? 1182 00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,879 Speaker 1: On the Norway Wins? Who did you pick? 1183 00:56:59,000 --> 00:56:59,320 Speaker 8: James? 1184 00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:01,040 Speaker 1: You went with good luck? 1185 00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:01,359 Speaker 7: Mark? 1186 00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:05,480 Speaker 2: Right, Okay, we got a straggler here. We got a 1187 00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:09,839 Speaker 2: straggler that's coming across. Let's see, just now crossing while 1188 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:11,239 Speaker 2: the rest of the field is done. And that is 1189 00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:16,320 Speaker 2: good luck. Mark, good luck, good luck. Mark Dyton struggled. Yeah, 1190 00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 2: Mark needs more luck. 1191 00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:23,440 Speaker 1: That's right. Hey, James, James Boyd is our guest. Let 1192 00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,000 Speaker 1: me ask you this. Are you familiar, James? 1193 00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,200 Speaker 2: Have you ever geographically speaking, speaking of Norway, have you 1194 00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:29,520 Speaker 2: ever heard of Lake by Call? 1195 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:33,000 Speaker 1: B A I K A L. Lake by Call? You 1196 00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:33,320 Speaker 1: heard that? 1197 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:34,200 Speaker 2: By chance? 1198 00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:35,600 Speaker 1: James, I have not. 1199 00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,240 Speaker 2: Okay, Lake by Call is in Russia, but it is 1200 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,560 Speaker 2: the deepest lake in the world. So my question for 1201 00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,800 Speaker 2: you is this, James, what position for the Colts is 1202 00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:49,360 Speaker 2: their Lake by Call? Their deepest position is where. 1203 00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,280 Speaker 3: Cool I was gonna take cornerback. But all those guys 1204 00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 3: are hurt right now. If you look at Michael him 1205 00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:03,400 Speaker 3: and ju Rou receiver, Alec Pierscruber receiver, Josh daltruper receiver, 1206 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,120 Speaker 3: you have obviously Adi Mitchell, who they believe has a 1207 00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 3: lot of talent sect round Pickton last year. Aston Doolan 1208 00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:11,479 Speaker 3: can even get in there and give you some juice 1209 00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 3: every now and then at a fifty plus yard cutchdown 1210 00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,080 Speaker 3: last year. So I like that wide receiver room, I 1211 00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:16,440 Speaker 3: really do. 1212 00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:20,680 Speaker 2: Okay, So and when you say that at wide receiver, 1213 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:23,240 Speaker 2: because it's one thing to have depth because you don't 1214 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,440 Speaker 2: have a lot of drop off one through five, But 1215 00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,240 Speaker 2: that doesn't mean much if one through five are all average, 1216 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:31,200 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I do think this is 1217 00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,479 Speaker 2: a room though, that has guys that would that would 1218 00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,400 Speaker 2: all probably start elsewhere within the respective position, right. 1219 00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,760 Speaker 1: I mean, they give give credit to Chris Ballard. 1220 00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:43,240 Speaker 2: It's a position that we banged on him a lot 1221 00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:45,760 Speaker 2: for not addressing and then he finally did and I 1222 00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:46,760 Speaker 2: think he did hit it right. 1223 00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:49,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, they got dudes in that room, and I'm not 1224 00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,840 Speaker 3: saying you have a true number one receiver, because I 1225 00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:56,680 Speaker 3: mean everything Surgeon for that, Jamar Chase, you know, Tyreek Hill, 1226 00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:01,040 Speaker 3: justin Jefferson type. However, I think that, yes, it's very 1227 00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:04,400 Speaker 3: fair to say Josh Downs, Alex Pears, Michael Pittman Jr. 1228 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:08,200 Speaker 3: They will all be starting corn I started qurnerback, started 1229 00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:11,680 Speaker 3: wide receivers and other wide receiver rooms. Honestly, for Alec 1230 00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:13,600 Speaker 3: Pears's sake, he's probably thinking, if I have one more 1231 00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:15,840 Speaker 3: good year, I'm gonna, you know, be able to back 1232 00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,160 Speaker 3: that up that assessment of other teams. Baks just looking 1233 00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,320 Speaker 3: at me as a starter with a very healthy payday. 1234 00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:25,120 Speaker 2: James boyd Our guest Colton Ravens tomorrow night, preseason game 1235 00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:29,640 Speaker 2: number one. James, let's get to the quarterback situation. I 1236 00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:31,840 Speaker 2: want to go back to that. Was there anything that 1237 00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,880 Speaker 2: jumped out at you about either one of those guys yesterday? 1238 00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,840 Speaker 2: I know you said it was pretty vanilla, but what 1239 00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,600 Speaker 2: did you see? Was there anything that was a typical 1240 00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,120 Speaker 2: from the rest of camp of what you saw between 1241 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:44,080 Speaker 2: Richardson and Jones. 1242 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,400 Speaker 3: Just the ability to break the long runs. I felt 1243 00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,560 Speaker 3: like based off of some of the zone read actions, 1244 00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:52,960 Speaker 3: some of the QB handoff stuff that they were able 1245 00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,919 Speaker 3: to do in misdirection things like that, you know, talking 1246 00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:57,760 Speaker 3: to Cam buying them after practice, people saying you kind 1247 00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,480 Speaker 3: of when you face your own team for so long, 1248 00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:00,960 Speaker 3: you can kind of diffle guys are going to do 1249 01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,920 Speaker 3: what guys like to do. So I think having the 1250 01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:06,680 Speaker 3: element of surprise to a certain degree, I'm surprised to 1251 01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:09,680 Speaker 3: Ravens because there were several runs yesterday where I thought 1252 01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,240 Speaker 3: Jona Tilor got down the field, you know, on touched 1253 01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,240 Speaker 3: for about seven eight yards before he finally got hit. 1254 01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:17,280 Speaker 3: And so if you can generate that sort of you know, 1255 01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:21,480 Speaker 3: running attack in Nephel Brown game in the regular season, 1256 01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:23,960 Speaker 3: that'll obviously make life a lot easier in the quarterback 1257 01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,520 Speaker 3: when you're in second and three versus second and seventh. 1258 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,640 Speaker 2: We haven't talked a lot about Hunter Waller, but Hunter Waller, 1259 01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:32,680 Speaker 2: who was a seventh round pick out of Wisconsin, a 1260 01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:36,840 Speaker 2: safety and yes, not playing for a starting safety spot, 1261 01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:38,840 Speaker 2: but when you are a seventh round pick of the 1262 01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:43,520 Speaker 2: defensive backfield, probably looking for a special teams opportunity that 1263 01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,880 Speaker 2: then can lend itself to being a depth piece. But 1264 01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:49,640 Speaker 2: it seems as though correct me if I'm wrong, Hunter 1265 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,640 Speaker 2: Waller had a really good day yesterday. Is that, however, 1266 01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,240 Speaker 2: typical of what he has shown in camp, James, or 1267 01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:56,560 Speaker 2: was this a late introduction. 1268 01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:00,480 Speaker 3: It's so typical to what he's showing in camp. I 1269 01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:02,360 Speaker 3: thought that he's had a really really solid camp. They 1270 01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:06,120 Speaker 3: kind of culminated yesterday obviously picking off Lamar Jackson another 1271 01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,920 Speaker 3: interception there to in practice with the second team, and 1272 01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:12,000 Speaker 3: so he's just continue to make plays. And honestly, me 1273 01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:15,160 Speaker 3: and Kevin talked about this on the Morning Show probably 1274 01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,280 Speaker 3: about a week ago. He's a lot to make the team. 1275 01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:18,680 Speaker 3: And I don't know how many times you can say 1276 01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:21,400 Speaker 3: about a seven round pick this early in training camp, 1277 01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:23,280 Speaker 3: but it's probably think about two for all of us 1278 01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:25,640 Speaker 3: to kind of consistent on the beat that, yeah, when 1279 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:27,160 Speaker 3: we do up with the then book the three at 1280 01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:29,560 Speaker 3: roster projection, he's going to be on there, and we're 1281 01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:31,360 Speaker 3: all going to be right that you know, he should 1282 01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,160 Speaker 3: be on there, and if he isn't, it'll be a 1283 01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,600 Speaker 3: very very surprising move because he's looked so steady and 1284 01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:38,680 Speaker 3: so smooth and with the deeds the class. 1285 01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,200 Speaker 2: By the way, James. Upcoming is race number ten here 1286 01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,560 Speaker 2: at the Indiana State Fair. It's the Fox Steak, the 1287 01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:47,240 Speaker 2: ninety nine year for it. As a matter of fact, 1288 01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:50,680 Speaker 2: for the Fox stake, now there are only four entrants. James, 1289 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:52,680 Speaker 2: I'll let you pick first again, since you're the guest. 1290 01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:58,920 Speaker 2: Sogi Swiss Lights talk softly or assistant coach that Sogi 1291 01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:02,880 Speaker 2: Swiss Lights talk softly an assistant coach, I'm gonna go 1292 01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:08,439 Speaker 2: talk softly. Okay, needless to say, that was not gonna 1293 01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:11,560 Speaker 2: be my pick. Okay, Eddie, go ahead, Sogi Swiss lights 1294 01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:12,880 Speaker 2: or assistant coach. 1295 01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:13,400 Speaker 1: I'll go with. 1296 01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:18,480 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, if I'm taking my mom to Norway, I 1297 01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:20,919 Speaker 2: might as well swing over to Switzerland and show where 1298 01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:23,960 Speaker 2: the Christmas lights. So I'll go Swiss Lights is my 1299 01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,320 Speaker 2: pick here for race number ten. I'll let you guys 1300 01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:27,800 Speaker 2: know what happens with that. 1301 01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:28,920 Speaker 1: James. 1302 01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:31,520 Speaker 2: What's the story that no one's talking about? If any, 1303 01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:35,960 Speaker 2: I'm not so sure that there is one. 1304 01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:37,520 Speaker 3: I mean, I thought we cover a lot of this 1305 01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:41,240 Speaker 3: stuff every day. If I'm pulling out straws, I guess 1306 01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:44,520 Speaker 3: you know, when you look at we have to do 1307 01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,240 Speaker 3: have the conversation in the media room, we look at 1308 01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,840 Speaker 3: people to criticize when it comes to the quarterback play. 1309 01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:53,160 Speaker 3: Recently with his team, I do think that Cam Turner, 1310 01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:56,000 Speaker 3: the quarterbacks coach, kind of fight under the radar. But 1311 01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,919 Speaker 3: I'm just generally curious, like, you know, maybe I should 1312 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:01,720 Speaker 3: just meet up with them or talk to say about it. 1313 01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:05,400 Speaker 3: What is his responsibility because we've criticized obviously Shane and 1314 01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:09,560 Speaker 3: Chris Ballard about ars development and the profice wasn't too soon. 1315 01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:12,120 Speaker 3: But you know, you're the quarterback, so just supposed to 1316 01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,520 Speaker 3: be the guy kind of helping him along. So what's 1317 01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:16,120 Speaker 3: your truck to look like? I think that he's also 1318 01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:18,400 Speaker 3: with Kyler Murray, who is in viewed at some like 1319 01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:20,760 Speaker 3: great quarterback. I mean the guy didn't have a clause 1320 01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,120 Speaker 3: put the protract to work hard and not play video 1321 01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:27,120 Speaker 3: games initially, So yeah, can't turn to somebody I'm curious about, 1322 01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,080 Speaker 3: like what is your role? What do you do and 1323 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,440 Speaker 3: how are you actually trying to help that quarterback room, 1324 01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:33,240 Speaker 3: whether it's a Anthony Richand or damn Zone. 1325 01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,680 Speaker 2: Okay, James another I guess the opposite question of that 1326 01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,120 Speaker 2: would be this for James Boyd, and that is what 1327 01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,640 Speaker 2: is the storyline that we're all focusing on in camp 1328 01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,320 Speaker 2: that actually we're going to look back on and realize 1329 01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:48,080 Speaker 2: was never really a storyline to begin with the. 1330 01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:57,160 Speaker 3: Man that we're in the state as a good question, Jake, 1331 01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,160 Speaker 3: and honestly might be quarterback. We might look up and 1332 01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,360 Speaker 3: I don't need to be morbid here, but who might 1333 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:03,880 Speaker 3: look up in a month and be like, man, both 1334 01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,240 Speaker 3: of these guys kind of are not good. So we 1335 01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:07,720 Speaker 3: did all this hoping to puff about who's going to 1336 01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:09,720 Speaker 3: start who isn't and they're about the same way. 1337 01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,080 Speaker 2: Hey, so let me let me let me jump in there, James, 1338 01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:16,480 Speaker 2: which do you think is more likely? Okay, when it's 1339 01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:21,880 Speaker 2: early November and we're getting set for the drumstick Dash 1340 01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:23,480 Speaker 2: and the weather's starting to turn a little bit, and 1341 01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:26,880 Speaker 2: high school football state finals are upcoming, and we're talking 1342 01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:30,320 Speaker 2: about the Colts, is it more likely that we're going 1343 01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,400 Speaker 2: to be talking about one of the two the starting 1344 01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:34,920 Speaker 2: quarterback for the Colts? And say, man, and the thing 1345 01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,360 Speaker 2: there was even a competition. This guy is flat balling 1346 01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,560 Speaker 2: out and is having a hell of a year. Is 1347 01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,080 Speaker 2: it more likely that that is what we're discussing or 1348 01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:44,520 Speaker 2: that we're saying. I can't believe we thought this was 1349 01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:48,480 Speaker 2: a competition, because this literally is our two guys that 1350 01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:48,960 Speaker 2: can't play. 1351 01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,320 Speaker 3: I think it's part of the ladder. And again I'm 1352 01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:54,120 Speaker 3: not trying to be negative. I understand it. Do you 1353 01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:56,560 Speaker 3: want to preach optimism and that's all what the Colts 1354 01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:58,479 Speaker 3: are doing. And I do think they're the world where 1355 01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:00,920 Speaker 3: either quarterback can be that's well enough to get him 1356 01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,400 Speaker 3: to the playoffs. But the reality is we haven't seen 1357 01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:05,960 Speaker 3: them play well as of late. That's time's anythink Richardson, 1358 01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,560 Speaker 3: he was hurt, he had a back injury, and obviously 1359 01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:09,960 Speaker 3: had a couple of good games last year. But I 1360 01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:13,400 Speaker 3: would say overall last year was a disaster for him, 1361 01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,920 Speaker 3: you know, being benched, being injured, you know, being inaccurate, 1362 01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:17,920 Speaker 3: it was it was all of the above. And then 1363 01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,880 Speaker 3: for Daniel Jones, you got benched in New York for 1364 01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:24,320 Speaker 3: you know, quarterbacks who are still not good, and they 1365 01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:27,240 Speaker 3: brought in quarterbacks to replace those guys this year. Russell 1366 01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:29,960 Speaker 3: Wilson is out there with the Giants now. So it's 1367 01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:33,880 Speaker 3: just in my opinion, it's, uh, the last time we 1368 01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:36,120 Speaker 3: saw both, they weren't good and so until they show 1369 01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:38,480 Speaker 3: us otherwise, that's what I have to base it off. 1370 01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:42,120 Speaker 1: Well, okay, now hold on, you're going with you're going 1371 01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:43,080 Speaker 1: with talk softly here? 1372 01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:43,520 Speaker 2: Is that right? 1373 01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:45,360 Speaker 7: James yep, that's me. 1374 01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:49,600 Speaker 1: Okay, Eddie, you're going with SOGI, is that right? 1375 01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,240 Speaker 2: Okay? And I took Swiss lights. There's only four entrants here, 1376 01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,040 Speaker 2: so you know that means assistant coach is going to win? 1377 01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:57,920 Speaker 2: Right that that kind of goes without saying, is it not. 1378 01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:01,560 Speaker 2: That's the hold on Lloyd Pierce. I'm putting that in 1379 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:04,200 Speaker 2: as the assistant coach, okay, or I guess that could 1380 01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:06,080 Speaker 2: be you know, Jenny, Jenny. 1381 01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:08,200 Speaker 1: Anyhow, we put any number of names. 1382 01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:11,280 Speaker 2: There, Okay, James, give me the schedule here in terms 1383 01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:13,800 Speaker 2: of for the Colts, and obviously you're back because the 1384 01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:17,920 Speaker 2: Colts are off today, but then preseason game number one tomorrow, 1385 01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,680 Speaker 2: your coverage and then also your duties within the radio 1386 01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:23,440 Speaker 2: station are what here in the immediate future. 1387 01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:28,080 Speaker 3: So for the athletic I'll be doing something actually gonna 1388 01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:31,480 Speaker 3: write it up today like some players to watch tomorrow's game. 1389 01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:33,640 Speaker 3: Really throughout the preseason, you want to keep an eye 1390 01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,400 Speaker 3: on who's got the most of the game or lose 1391 01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:39,400 Speaker 3: throughout these three preseason games and obviously the rest of preseason. 1392 01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:42,040 Speaker 3: And then I'll get ready for a practice again right 1393 01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,280 Speaker 3: back on Saturday, because after the game Thursday, it's go 1394 01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:47,120 Speaker 3: back to Friday and Saturday, we're back out there in Webfield, 1395 01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:49,160 Speaker 3: so I'm back out there in the sun.

So if you're listening, come. 1400 01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,040 Speaker 1: On out and you say it's up and you know, 1401 01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:03,280 Speaker 1: are you a good golfer? 1402 01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:06,560 Speaker 3: I can't damp at all.

We got Bluebird Hill, 1483 01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:00,800 Speaker 2: muscle technicians, Swan by Bye, Bravo Alpha West and Danny 1484 01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:05,200 Speaker 2: man Can He went with a muscle technician. Okay, I'm 1485 01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:09,000 Speaker 2: going to go clearly, just to salute myself. I'll go 1486 01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:13,760 Speaker 2: with Bravo Alpha, Bravo Alpha when this one, if you 1487 01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,760 Speaker 2: don't mind me saying so, okay. Rick Carlisle had some 1488 01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:20,320 Speaker 2: interesting things to say about the Pacers recently where he 1489 01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:23,080 Speaker 2: you know, we played for you, where he was talking 1490 01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:25,880 Speaker 2: about Minna Nick Matheren and said, look, breaking news here. 1491 01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:27,680 Speaker 2: Matherin's going to be our starter at the two and 1492 01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:29,880 Speaker 2: it is his job to lose. I don't think there's 1493 01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:33,599 Speaker 2: any real shock in that, but one of the things 1494 01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,840 Speaker 2: that I did find intriguing and I'm very curious to 1495 01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:43,440 Speaker 2: see how it plays itself out. When you remove Tyrese Haliburton, 1496 01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:46,800 Speaker 2: you automatically know that probably your pace is going to 1497 01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:47,400 Speaker 2: be different. 1498 01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:50,120 Speaker 1: But it's not even Tyre's Halliburton. 1499 01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:53,280 Speaker 2: To me, it's Miles Turner and the loss of Miles 1500 01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:55,519 Speaker 2: Turner and what it does for the Pacers offense. 1501 01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:57,760 Speaker 1: And the reason I say that is because Miles. 1502 01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:00,800 Speaker 2: Turner is in fact a play that if you really 1503 01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:03,080 Speaker 2: look at the way he plays in what he meant 1504 01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:04,200 Speaker 2: to their offense. 1505 01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:06,759 Speaker 1: And I know we've talked a lot about this, and I've. 1506 01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:10,280 Speaker 2: You know, I had a long conversation the other day 1507 01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:12,160 Speaker 2: with Todd Howard, who is the assistant at mary And 1508 01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,479 Speaker 2: that works with that Knight, and I was saying to 1509 01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:16,479 Speaker 2: Todd Howard, I'm like, I'll be honest with you in 1510 01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:21,200 Speaker 2: the fact that I still get confused by what exactly 1511 01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:24,240 Speaker 2: the motion offense is. And Todd Howard said, you know, 1512 01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:30,559 Speaker 2: it's funny, Rick Barnes, the long standing college basketball coach, 1513 01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:33,880 Speaker 2: you have a really good coach. Rick Barnes apparently called 1514 01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:35,880 Speaker 2: Pat Knight the other day to just go over and 1515 01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:38,720 Speaker 2: continue talking about the motion offense and you know, just 1516 01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:42,520 Speaker 2: looking at things because I think coaches are constantly examining 1517 01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:49,360 Speaker 2: ways to perfect and expand upon offenses, and that offense 1518 01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:52,960 Speaker 2: the Pacers run. There's an element of the motion offense 1519 01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:55,360 Speaker 2: that comes with what the Pacers are doing. But it's 1520 01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:59,439 Speaker 2: really it's disingenuous to say that it's rooted in the motion. 1521 01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:03,640 Speaker 2: But the motion offense essentially is exactly that. It's a 1522 01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:09,880 Speaker 2: constant motion. But the player with the ball obviously, you know, 1523 01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,479 Speaker 2: once you pass the ball, you are then setting a 1524 01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,560 Speaker 2: screen kind of in the opposite direction, and then the 1525 01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:18,639 Speaker 2: ball is constantly moving so that the defense is forced 1526 01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:20,880 Speaker 2: to shift over to where you are setting a screen 1527 01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:23,479 Speaker 2: and almost pull away from the basketball. And it just 1528 01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:26,400 Speaker 2: creates where the ball is moving almost like in a 1529 01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:30,320 Speaker 2: a cycle. And the Pacers do that to a great extent, 1530 01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:34,200 Speaker 2: and a lot of it was based upon Miles Turner 1531 01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:37,040 Speaker 2: and getting the ball to Miles Turner on the high post. 1532 01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:39,479 Speaker 2: And then as I mentioned, he's kind of like that 1533 01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:46,080 Speaker 2: sprinkler that's just spraying the ball around because when Turner 1534 01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:48,200 Speaker 2: will get the ball on that high post, the defense 1535 01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:49,040 Speaker 2: has to respect it. 1536 01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:50,760 Speaker 1: Because you know that he can shoot the ball from there. 1537 01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:54,040 Speaker 2: And so once they come out, then that creates a 1538 01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:57,800 Speaker 2: motion where guys are then coming up around up near 1539 01:13:57,840 --> 01:13:59,880 Speaker 2: the three point circle. And you saw that Turner is 1540 01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:02,960 Speaker 2: determining where it's going to go to, whether it's Nie 1541 01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:07,440 Speaker 2: Smith or it's Halliburton or even nim Hard or Siakam 1542 01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:09,880 Speaker 2: working their way through and whether they are getting it 1543 01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:12,600 Speaker 2: up high or down low. That's a really elementary and 1544 01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:16,240 Speaker 2: neophyte way of explaining what they do. But the more 1545 01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:18,600 Speaker 2: detailed way of saying what they do offensively is to 1546 01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:24,519 Speaker 2: say that they create basically a helter skelter for lack 1547 01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:27,120 Speaker 2: of a better phrase, offense where defensively you kind of 1548 01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:28,160 Speaker 2: don't know what they're doing. 1549 01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:29,920 Speaker 1: They disguise themselves. 1550 01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,720 Speaker 2: They run different looks, but they're constantly moving and you're 1551 01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:36,640 Speaker 2: constantly guessing where exactly the ball is going to end up, 1552 01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:39,600 Speaker 2: and their ball rotation in terms of moving that thing 1553 01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:42,240 Speaker 2: around like a hot potato, is amazing. The number of 1554 01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:45,200 Speaker 2: passes that the Pacers could make before even really putting 1555 01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:48,120 Speaker 2: the ball back on the floor was remarkable last year, 1556 01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:50,719 Speaker 2: and a big part of that was based in Miles Turner. 1557 01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:54,240 Speaker 2: But Rick Carlisle has said recently now that next year, 1558 01:14:54,400 --> 01:15:00,400 Speaker 2: meaning this upcoming season, even without Halliburton and even without Turner, 1559 01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:05,439 Speaker 2: they are planning on going status quo in their offensive sets. 1560 01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:08,720 Speaker 2: They still want to run the same pace, they still 1561 01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,920 Speaker 2: want to run the same unpredictability. They still want to 1562 01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:15,559 Speaker 2: run the same disguised looks in terms of their offense, 1563 01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:18,760 Speaker 2: which is awesome because it's fun to watch, it's hard 1564 01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:21,800 Speaker 2: to guard. Points can be scored in a fury, as 1565 01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:24,880 Speaker 2: we saw against New York, as we saw at the 1566 01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:27,360 Speaker 2: end against Cleveland. We saw it for the entire postseason. 1567 01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:30,759 Speaker 2: And it's why people fell in love with this particular 1568 01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:34,759 Speaker 2: installment of the Indiana Pacers, not just in Indiana but nationally. 1569 01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:36,640 Speaker 2: I mean, I mentioned when I was I did my 1570 01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:38,519 Speaker 2: trip out east, and I'm wearing a Pacer shirt and 1571 01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:41,720 Speaker 2: literally running around on the East Coast and people are 1572 01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:44,479 Speaker 2: coming up to me and they're coming up like, oh, Man, Pacers, 1573 01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:46,559 Speaker 2: that was so much fun. They should have won whatever else. 1574 01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:48,920 Speaker 2: And I could see, especially young people, like there were fans, 1575 01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:51,280 Speaker 2: and it's because they were exciting to watch and they 1576 01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:54,800 Speaker 2: were fun to watch, and they're going to and I 1577 01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:57,599 Speaker 2: think it's just because. And it's like I talked about 1578 01:15:57,680 --> 01:16:00,439 Speaker 2: with why Daniel Jones and Anthony Richards and are good 1579 01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:03,200 Speaker 2: compliments of one another because if one is not able 1580 01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:05,400 Speaker 2: to go, then you can get the other one in 1581 01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:08,960 Speaker 2: there and maintain your offense at the same position and 1582 01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:11,800 Speaker 2: at the same running it in the same system. The 1583 01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:14,559 Speaker 2: engines are running the same way, the pistons are going 1584 01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:18,400 Speaker 2: the same place, and you're not having to deviate from 1585 01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:21,439 Speaker 2: things so that when you then get your key pieces back, 1586 01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:24,680 Speaker 2: and in this case those key pieces being Tyre's Halliburton 1587 01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:27,519 Speaker 2: and then whoever it is going to be that becomes 1588 01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:30,840 Speaker 2: the replacement of Myles Turner. You are still clicking with 1589 01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:33,120 Speaker 2: everybody else, with Nie Smith and with Nim Harden, with 1590 01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:37,120 Speaker 2: whether it being Isaiah Jackson or Jeris Walker, and Furfey 1591 01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:42,800 Speaker 2: and Siakam, They're still running in the same motion, just 1592 01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:44,800 Speaker 2: like the horses that are running right now in this 1593 01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:47,840 Speaker 2: race number eleven that is underway here.

I've been in the casino business before my 1643 01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:07,120 Speaker 8: current job for about twenty seven years and have worked 1644 01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:09,680 Speaker 8: at three casinos in Indiana, and came up in O 1645 01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:14,200 Speaker 8: seven to help Openho's your Park, and stayed on all 1646 01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:16,920 Speaker 8: the way up till twenty one, and then made the 1647 01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,560 Speaker 8: transfer over to the Indiana Standard Bread Association. 1648 01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:21,960 Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting I was talking about this earlier, 1649 01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:24,840 Speaker 2: and you know, Purdue has done a couple of different 1650 01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:27,599 Speaker 2: studies now just on the economic impact of horse racing 1651 01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:30,559 Speaker 2: in Indiana. We're talking over two billion dollars of impact, 1652 01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:33,439 Speaker 2: everything from those that are growing the feed to those 1653 01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:36,840 Speaker 2: that are growing or building the transportive you know, vehicles 1654 01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:39,640 Speaker 2: to get and then it goes without saying people that 1655 01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:42,639 Speaker 2: are coming out to watch it. But I was reading 1656 01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:45,639 Speaker 2: last night, Tony, I found this interesting. Starting in two 1657 01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:47,840 Speaker 2: thousand and seven, which for a lot of people was 1658 01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:49,360 Speaker 2: probably an area where you look at it and you 1659 01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:52,800 Speaker 2: see an economic downturn. Not the case in Indiana within 1660 01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:55,639 Speaker 2: horse racing, because from two thousand and seven to twenty twenty, 1661 01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:59,400 Speaker 2: we saw over a fifty percent increase in just the 1662 01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:02,960 Speaker 2: overall ownership of horses and breeding of horses in Indiana 1663 01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:05,800 Speaker 2: in general. To what do you attribute the growth of 1664 01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:06,960 Speaker 2: this here in Indiana? 1665 01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:11,200 Speaker 8: You know that all goes back to our legislators and 1666 01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:14,080 Speaker 8: they started working on that back in the mid nineties, 1667 01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:17,439 Speaker 8: early eighties, and it really kind of came to a 1668 01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:21,880 Speaker 8: culmination in seven when the two slot the two casinos 1669 01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:25,360 Speaker 8: here and Anderson and Shelbyville were allowed to have slot 1670 01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:29,840 Speaker 8: machines and became racinos at that point. And then that's 1671 01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:32,960 Speaker 8: where the boom happened and people seeing that Indiana's always 1672 01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:36,639 Speaker 8: been known for a standardbred racing. We also have thoroughbred 1673 01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:39,479 Speaker 8: and quarter horse down in Shelbyville and that program has 1674 01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:42,600 Speaker 8: grown substantially. But it goes back to the work that 1675 01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:46,839 Speaker 8: the legislators the early horsemen did in the late eighties 1676 01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:49,240 Speaker 8: the early nineties to kind of get this set and 1677 01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:52,280 Speaker 8: ready to go, and it's it's taken off and who's 1678 01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:55,400 Speaker 8: your park is in the top three in North America 1679 01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:59,880 Speaker 8: harness tracks. We've hosted three breeder crowns up there, which 1680 01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:02,599 Speaker 8: is kind of the big the super Bowl, if you will, 1681 01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:07,120 Speaker 8: of harness racing. We've got our county fairs that are thriving, 1682 01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:11,959 Speaker 8: and again it goes back to the legislators, the horsemen, 1683 01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:16,519 Speaker 8: the commission, the track owner, all those entities. 1684 01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:19,280 Speaker 2: You know, It's interesting because when you look Tony at, 1685 01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:22,120 Speaker 2: for example, in your home area, you know the Kentucky 1686 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:24,479 Speaker 2: Diver this is home now, but you know the Kentucky Derby. 1687 01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:27,599 Speaker 2: You have horses that are racing there that are coming 1688 01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:29,800 Speaker 2: from all over I mean they're being bred from all over, right, 1689 01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:33,080 Speaker 2: I mean Secretariat was was sired to Kentucky but born 1690 01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:35,280 Speaker 2: in Maryland, I think, and then brought back so they're 1691 01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:37,720 Speaker 2: coming from all over. Is that the same with the 1692 01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:40,320 Speaker 2: horses that we see today, or are most of these 1693 01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:44,240 Speaker 2: being born and then bred and raised here throughout Indiana? 1694 01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:48,160 Speaker 2: For the Indiana when you look at the Indiana Standard 1695 01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:49,360 Speaker 2: Bread Association. 1696 01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:51,519 Speaker 8: The majority of everything you see and is being born 1697 01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:54,160 Speaker 8: here in Indiana. Now, we do have races like our 1698 01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:57,240 Speaker 8: Dan Patch coming up on Friday night. Jessica spoke earlier 1699 01:21:57,320 --> 01:22:00,439 Speaker 8: of those horses that come from a different state. But 1700 01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:03,200 Speaker 8: what you're seeing today at the Grand Circuit, what you'll 1701 01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:05,799 Speaker 8: see next week at the Governor's Cup, they're all Indiana 1702 01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:08,720 Speaker 8: sired horses. They live in Indiana. And now some of 1703 01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:11,720 Speaker 8: them do travel outside of the state and go race 1704 01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:16,240 Speaker 8: and other racetracks, but typically Indiana's their home. And that's 1705 01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:18,200 Speaker 8: the best thing about it is it's keeping the money 1706 01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:18,800 Speaker 8: in the state. 1707 01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:20,080 Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta have a lot of pride in 1708 01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:22,639 Speaker 2: this right because it is you know, to come out 1709 01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:25,479 Speaker 2: here and watch this and to know and I again, Tony, 1710 01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:28,120 Speaker 2: I want to point out, as I said to Jessica, 1711 01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:31,080 Speaker 2: you know, I really do appreciate because we've had a 1712 01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:33,240 Speaker 2: lot of fun over the course of the summer playing 1713 01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:36,320 Speaker 2: Rix calls. For example, for the different races that are 1714 01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:39,560 Speaker 2: taking place throughout county fairs, and it's just such a 1715 01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:42,920 Speaker 2: community based thing to be able to see on display, 1716 01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:44,760 Speaker 2: which is what the State Fair is all about. But 1717 01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:47,879 Speaker 2: for us to be able to partake in that, I appreciate. 1718 01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:48,800 Speaker 2: It's been really cool. 1719 01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:54,080 Speaker 8: We appreciate you and the radio station and John Griffin 1720 01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:56,519 Speaker 8: and everyone's put that together.

When you 1723 01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:06,920 Speaker 8: see these horsemen out here, they're second, third, fourth, some 1724 01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:11,160 Speaker 8: fifth generation harness racing. This is the only job they've 1725 01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:15,559 Speaker 8: ever known and they come out and they put everything 1726 01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:17,599 Speaker 8: they have onto this horse. 1727 01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:19,600 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's interesting because one of the you know, 1728 01:23:19,640 --> 01:23:22,679 Speaker 2: we were going to talk to a mother daughter combination 1729 01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:26,679 Speaker 2: that we're not only working in the the ownership side 1730 01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:29,519 Speaker 2: of horse racing, but you know, the young girl herself 1731 01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:31,760 Speaker 2: wasn't available today because she's showing a horse here at 1732 01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:33,160 Speaker 2: the State Fair, which is what you know, from an 1733 01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:38,200 Speaker 2: agricultural standpoint, what this event is all about. And truly, 1734 01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:40,439 Speaker 2: I think it shows kind of the family aspect of 1735 01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:43,120 Speaker 2: it and just really the entire community aspect of. 1736 01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:48,120 Speaker 8: It right absolutely, And it's available to Indiana whether you 1737 01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:50,200 Speaker 8: want to come to Hoosier Park and Anderson or you 1738 01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:52,240 Speaker 8: want to come down there to the state fair.

You are 1802 01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:47,760 Speaker 2: listening to Quarrying Company on ninety three five and one 1803 01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:52,439 Speaker 2: of seven to five to the fan. Now, I'm telling you, 1804 01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:58,040 Speaker 2: I've been to all fifty states. Okay, I've been to 1805 01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:01,200 Speaker 2: every inch of this country and in some parts of Arkansas, 1806 01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:04,360 Speaker 2: and I've been to Scotland, where this band's from. And 1807 01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:07,680 Speaker 2: I don't know much about anything, but I know this much, 1808 01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:09,479 Speaker 2: and that is that there are certain people that when 1809 01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:11,400 Speaker 2: you meet him, you just immediately go this guy's with 1810 01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:14,880 Speaker 2: the program, and like we could probably spend seven hours 1811 01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:17,400 Speaker 2: just bs and together. And that includes my next guest here, 1812 01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:22,240 Speaker 2: Rick Uppele, who comes to Indiana by way of Vancouver, Canada, 1813 01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:25,200 Speaker 2: which is one of the beautiful, beautiful cities in North America, 1814 01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:27,760 Speaker 2: probably the most beautiful area. When you get up into 1815 01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:31,720 Speaker 2: the Canadian Rockies, it is breathtaking. But Rick is the 1816 01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:35,720 Speaker 2: guy that you have been hearing each and every for 1817 01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:37,880 Speaker 2: the course of the summer, with each and every race 1818 01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:40,800 Speaker 2: that has been taking place throughout the Indiana Sired Fair 1819 01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:44,120 Speaker 2: circuit on all the county fairgrounds. And you've heard his calls. 1820 01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:46,920 Speaker 2: Eddie has now been working on his Rick Uppel impersonation, 1821 01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:49,920 Speaker 2: and Rick's going to judge all of that. But first off, Rick, 1822 01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:50,960 Speaker 2: it is great to see you man. 1823 01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:53,160 Speaker 7: How are you pretty good? Thank you very much, nice 1824 01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:54,960 Speaker 7: beating you, and thank you for the kind words. 1825 01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:57,439 Speaker 2: Now, so I'm curious first and foremost about this, and 1826 01:27:57,560 --> 01:28:00,200 Speaker 2: that is a guy that grew up in Vancouver and 1827 01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:01,520 Speaker 2: now lives in Indiana. 1828 01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:04,280 Speaker 1: This is a weird question for you. 1829 01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:08,080 Speaker 2: Sometimes I do this when I'm driving and I see 1830 01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:12,120 Speaker 2: the clouds on the horizon, I pretend they're mountains now now, 1831 01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:14,160 Speaker 2: and people think I'm crazy, and I said, you know what, 1832 01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:16,160 Speaker 2: But but people that grow up in areas that have 1833 01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:17,639 Speaker 2: mountains know what I'm talking about. 1834 01:28:17,720 --> 01:28:18,560 Speaker 1: Have you ever done that? 1835 01:28:19,120 --> 01:28:21,040 Speaker 7: I'm gonna say probably yes, yeah, there you go. 1836 01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:21,439 Speaker 2: See. 1837 01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:24,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, not last time, but the time before. I took 1838 01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:26,320 Speaker 7: a video of the mountains. It's in my phone right now. 1839 01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:28,439 Speaker 7: So when I get a little homesick or whatever, I 1840 01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:30,439 Speaker 7: just play that video and look at the mountains. A 1841 01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:32,559 Speaker 7: little bit of snow covered you know, there's just nothing 1842 01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:34,599 Speaker 7: like it, right, can't be. It's God's country. I call 1843 01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:35,200 Speaker 7: it God's. 1844 01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:37,320 Speaker 1: Countykay, I want to this is I'll tell you what 1845 01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:39,960 Speaker 1: really is interesting to me. 1846 01:28:40,240 --> 01:28:43,519 Speaker 2: So you know, my other job besides this one is 1847 01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:46,920 Speaker 2: I do auto racing play by play, and I do 1848 01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:49,360 Speaker 2: the Indianapolis five hundred for example, And then like, I'll 1849 01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:51,040 Speaker 2: be in your old neck of the woods in Portland, 1850 01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:54,200 Speaker 2: Oregon this weekend for a race. But I've listened to 1851 01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:59,360 Speaker 2: now your calls and notably your your winning calls. But today, 1852 01:28:59,640 --> 01:29:01,960 Speaker 2: you know, sitting here while you were doing eleven different races. 1853 01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:06,040 Speaker 2: I find it fascinating because you're sitting up here and 1854 01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:07,200 Speaker 2: people ask me this all the time. 1855 01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:08,000 Speaker 1: You have a monitor. 1856 01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:10,519 Speaker 2: We don't. I mean, you're watching a one mile oval here, 1857 01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:13,960 Speaker 2: but you're able to distinguish all of the horses to 1858 01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:16,120 Speaker 2: the naked eye. These are not race cars that have 1859 01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:18,519 Speaker 2: different color schemes and numbers on them. How in the 1860 01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:19,360 Speaker 2: world do you do it? 1861 01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:22,360 Speaker 7: I think I've just been doing it so long now 1862 01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:26,400 Speaker 7: that I've gotten accustomed to the Indiana guys. They always 1863 01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:29,120 Speaker 7: have the same color. That's a complete difference between thoroughbreds. 1864 01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:32,400 Speaker 7: When a jockey comes out. Okay, they wear different colors 1865 01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:35,160 Speaker 7: because they're representing the owner. Now there's a few big 1866 01:29:35,360 --> 01:29:38,720 Speaker 7: stables in standardbred racing where the owners have decided we 1867 01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:42,920 Speaker 7: want them to wear our colors. So I believe, like 1868 01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:45,479 Speaker 7: Diamond Creek farms, they have their own colors. So when 1869 01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:47,080 Speaker 7: somebody drives their horses that they. 1870 01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:49,080 Speaker 2: Put on their ok so then you know that's the 1871 01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:51,040 Speaker 2: time about farms coming out of what farm. 1872 01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:53,200 Speaker 7: Which also, yes, there's only about two or three of 1873 01:29:53,240 --> 01:29:55,759 Speaker 7: those kind of situations that happen. But basically the drivers 1874 01:29:55,800 --> 01:29:57,599 Speaker 7: wear you know, they have the same colors all the time. 1875 01:29:58,280 --> 01:30:03,519 Speaker 7: And basically memorization for me, which is pretty try try 1876 01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:05,040 Speaker 7: to memorize with about a meter or two to go 1877 01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:08,160 Speaker 7: and that way, right, that's way. It's fresh in my 1878 01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:10,240 Speaker 7: mind right because people say to you, oh, you must 1879 01:30:10,280 --> 01:30:13,080 Speaker 7: go home and study like all night long. I can't 1880 01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:15,320 Speaker 7: worry about tenth race. When I got to wry about the. 1881 01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:17,000 Speaker 2: First correct well, you know the other thing that's interesting 1882 01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:19,240 Speaker 2: and I'm curious for you if this is the case 1883 01:30:20,479 --> 01:30:23,919 Speaker 2: for me, after a race, I have very little recollection, 1884 01:30:24,200 --> 01:30:27,640 Speaker 2: notably of what call was said, but also sometimes of 1885 01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:29,400 Speaker 2: what happened in the race, until I get back to 1886 01:30:29,479 --> 01:30:31,439 Speaker 2: that particular track and then look at it and I go, oh, yeah, 1887 01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:32,800 Speaker 2: now I remember what happened there? Right? 1888 01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:33,639 Speaker 1: Does that make sense? 1889 01:30:33,800 --> 01:30:34,880 Speaker 7: That makes sense? Absolutely? 1890 01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:38,960 Speaker 2: So with that for and let's talk real quick just 1891 01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:41,240 Speaker 2: about horse racing in Indiana in general, because you know 1892 01:30:41,320 --> 01:30:44,559 Speaker 2: you're overseeing this and you've you've been able to see 1893 01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:48,080 Speaker 2: this in comparison to Indiana from other places for those 1894 01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:50,600 Speaker 2: that are listening that are unfamiliar, and my apology for 1895 01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:54,120 Speaker 2: the neophyte nature of this, but when you when you 1896 01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:57,560 Speaker 2: say like standard bread and then thoroughbread, the difference is 1897 01:30:57,840 --> 01:30:59,040 Speaker 2: what exactly. 1898 01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:01,640 Speaker 7: A standard bread is. It's just bread to be a 1899 01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:05,040 Speaker 7: stip a standard distance, which is one mile. Okay, you're 1900 01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:06,679 Speaker 7: not going to see too many places, you know, they've 1901 01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:09,280 Speaker 7: they ventured out and tried different things with a mile 1902 01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:11,880 Speaker 7: and a sixteenth sometimes a mile and a half mile 1903 01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:13,880 Speaker 7: and a quarter. Then there's some that are seven eighths 1904 01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:15,840 Speaker 7: of a mile or a half mile dash where I 1905 01:31:15,960 --> 01:31:18,800 Speaker 7: came from. They experimented with all that, But the actual 1906 01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:21,439 Speaker 7: standard bred horse itself is bread to be a standard 1907 01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:22,080 Speaker 7: one mile ring. 1908 01:31:22,240 --> 01:31:24,720 Speaker 2: So they typically a smaller horse than what you would 1909 01:31:24,760 --> 01:31:26,320 Speaker 2: see as a thoroughbread. 1910 01:31:26,160 --> 01:31:29,040 Speaker 7: Not necessarily smaller, but just that's just the way they're 1911 01:31:29,080 --> 01:31:32,000 Speaker 7: bread now with thoroughbread, all kinds of different breeding with 1912 01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:35,120 Speaker 7: thorough bread. Right, Some are sprinters, some are marathon horses, 1913 01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:37,080 Speaker 7: some are on the grass, some are on the dirt. 1914 01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:41,400 Speaker 1: So then the elites are a combination of all. You 1915 01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:41,720 Speaker 1: know what I mean. 1916 01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:43,840 Speaker 7: You can say that, yeah, you spend a million dollars, 1917 01:31:44,160 --> 01:31:46,760 Speaker 7: but there's no guarantee when you're spending that kind of money. 1918 01:31:47,200 --> 01:31:49,559 Speaker 7: But it's a support of kings. That's where that comes from. 1919 01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:50,479 Speaker 1: How did you get into this? 1920 01:31:51,680 --> 01:31:54,519 Speaker 7: I was a little kid, and I was an only child, 1921 01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:58,640 Speaker 7: and I can actually tell the story. I used to 1922 01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:01,160 Speaker 7: kind of get on my hands and I don't know, 1923 01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:03,439 Speaker 7: I was four or five maybe I can't quite remember, 1924 01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:06,599 Speaker 7: but and I put masking tape down on the carpet floor. 1925 01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:11,639 Speaker 7: My parents south and in Canada, they had these Nali's chips, 1926 01:32:12,040 --> 01:32:13,439 Speaker 7: and they used to come out and give you a 1927 01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:16,519 Speaker 7: coin with like a CFL player anything. I don't know. 1928 01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:19,280 Speaker 7: I just use a coin or poker chip something like that, 1929 01:32:19,479 --> 01:32:21,439 Speaker 7: and then I would push them around with my fingers 1930 01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:24,240 Speaker 7: and announce it. And then I think I was about 1931 01:32:24,240 --> 01:32:26,400 Speaker 7: eight years old and my parents took me to the 1932 01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:29,519 Speaker 7: third bread truck in Vancouver, and I met the announcer 1933 01:32:29,680 --> 01:32:31,960 Speaker 7: who was actually a pretty good announcer, and I told 1934 01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:34,920 Speaker 7: them that day, I'm gonna take your job. I never did, 1935 01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:39,080 Speaker 7: but I always wanted to be a horse racing announcer 1936 01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:41,639 Speaker 7: when I retired from hockey. 1937 01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:43,719 Speaker 2: So you did do some hockey stuff. 1938 01:32:43,720 --> 01:32:45,840 Speaker 7: I did hockey, Yeah, I did hockey well before I 1939 01:32:45,880 --> 01:32:46,559 Speaker 7: did any racing. 1940 01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:48,960 Speaker 2: Okay, So and when you were doing hot and I 1941 01:32:49,080 --> 01:32:52,320 Speaker 2: think hockey would be that would be actually probably the 1942 01:32:52,360 --> 01:32:56,200 Speaker 2: best training for what you're doing because, and I mean 1943 01:32:56,280 --> 01:32:59,879 Speaker 2: this with all due respect to me, hockey, the internation, 1944 01:33:00,240 --> 01:33:02,960 Speaker 2: flare of the names, and the fast paced with which 1945 01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:04,519 Speaker 2: you have to go from one to the next to 1946 01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:06,640 Speaker 2: the next would make it. I think that would be 1947 01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:09,639 Speaker 2: the ultimate sport of preparation for play by play. 1948 01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:13,240 Speaker 7: Yes, absolutely. Like you know your own home team, You've 1949 01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:15,519 Speaker 7: got them down package you've been there all year. It's 1950 01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:17,560 Speaker 7: when you go on the road. Yeah, Like we go 1951 01:33:17,680 --> 01:33:19,680 Speaker 7: on a road and we would have eight games in 1952 01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:23,240 Speaker 7: eleven nights, you know, eight different cities. So here I 1953 01:33:23,320 --> 01:33:26,200 Speaker 7: am the first time seeing the team. That's a little 1954 01:33:26,240 --> 01:33:29,519 Speaker 7: work involved there. And you did which teams I called 1955 01:33:29,560 --> 01:33:35,320 Speaker 7: for the newest mister Bruins for two seasons okay, and 1956 01:33:35,479 --> 01:33:38,519 Speaker 7: then they end up moving to try cities in Washington State. 1957 01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:41,120 Speaker 7: The owner wanted to move them for whatever reason.

If you walk to the backstretch there, there's 2069 01:38:26,360 --> 01:38:29,720 Speaker 7: no TVs back there. So the horsemen are and this 2070 01:38:29,840 --> 01:38:32,760 Speaker 7: is their bread and butter. Their lives depend on sure 2071 01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:35,559 Speaker 7: where their horse finishes. So if I'm accurate and letting 2072 01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:37,560 Speaker 7: him know they finished, third, they're kind of counting on that. 2073 01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:39,680 Speaker 7: But if you've got a guy that's calling and he's 2074 01:38:39,720 --> 01:38:42,640 Speaker 7: not quite always on, I'm gonna say I'm ninety nine 2075 01:38:42,680 --> 01:38:45,920 Speaker 7: point six percent correct, even in tight photos or whatever, 2076 01:38:46,160 --> 01:38:47,720 Speaker 7: just because I've been doing it a long time, and 2077 01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:49,360 Speaker 7: if you're on the right angle, you'll be able to 2078 01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:50,880 Speaker 7: do it. You can be on the wrong angle and 2079 01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:51,559 Speaker 7: never call one. 2080 01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:53,439 Speaker 2: Now, do you let me ask you this when you're 2081 01:38:53,600 --> 01:38:57,160 Speaker 2: calling a race? I find this is another thing that 2082 01:38:57,200 --> 01:39:00,360 Speaker 2: I learned today that is fascinating to me. If if 2083 01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:02,639 Speaker 2: a horse gets out of trot, if I'm not saying 2084 01:39:02,680 --> 01:39:04,479 Speaker 2: that correctly, it gets out of pays a break, makes 2085 01:39:04,520 --> 01:39:06,360 Speaker 2: a break makes a break?

I mean even in your capacity 2323 01:49:04,439 --> 01:49:07,080 Speaker 2: with this sport, like anything, you know, there's always room 2324 01:49:07,240 --> 01:49:08,439 Speaker 2: to learn and grow. 2325 01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:11,040 Speaker 1: And you said Rick's been great about that, right. 2326 01:49:11,600 --> 01:49:14,840 Speaker 8: You know, Rick and his wife Cassandra. They also work 2327 01:49:14,880 --> 01:49:18,840 Speaker 8: as the horseman reps for the ISA, and they have 2328 01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:21,120 Speaker 8: so much knowledge and all the horsemen do, I mean, 2329 01:49:21,200 --> 01:49:24,080 Speaker 8: and they're so easy to approach. They're all approachable and 2330 01:49:24,520 --> 01:49:26,880 Speaker 8: because trust me, I come up with dumb questions all 2331 01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:28,720 Speaker 8: the time. Some of them I could tell you what 2332 01:49:28,840 --> 01:49:29,920 Speaker 8: I do for a living exactly. 2333 01:49:30,200 --> 01:49:30,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. 2334 01:49:31,240 --> 01:49:35,240 Speaker 8: But yeah, they're so great at it, and everybody is friendly. 2335 01:49:35,360 --> 01:49:37,200 Speaker 8: Like Rick said on the way out, he said, you know, 2336 01:49:37,640 --> 01:49:40,720 Speaker 8: on the track, it's competitive and we'll go at it, 2337 01:49:40,840 --> 01:49:43,360 Speaker 8: but once the race is over, they'll help you move 2338 01:49:43,439 --> 01:49:44,120 Speaker 8: furniture if. 2339 01:49:44,040 --> 01:49:44,360 Speaker 1: You need it. 2340 01:49:44,640 --> 01:49:47,439 Speaker 2: Yeah. So and which is And I would imagine even 2341 01:49:47,600 --> 01:49:51,000 Speaker 2: with and we talked about it, with the growing nature 2342 01:49:52,040 --> 01:49:54,439 Speaker 2: of this sporting continuing to grow. I mean, you've seen 2343 01:49:54,479 --> 01:49:56,120 Speaker 2: it in the time that you've been doing it, and 2344 01:49:56,240 --> 01:49:59,320 Speaker 2: we talked about it. But even with that growth, I 2345 01:49:59,360 --> 01:50:02,120 Speaker 2: would imagine and that it is still a pretty close 2346 01:50:02,280 --> 01:50:03,880 Speaker 2: knit group in terms of. 2347 01:50:06,280 --> 01:50:07,040 Speaker 1: I always say, like. 2348 01:50:07,080 --> 01:50:10,160 Speaker 2: Within the work that we do, you know, people will 2349 01:50:10,200 --> 01:50:12,880 Speaker 2: ask me about competitors at a different radio station or 2350 01:50:12,920 --> 01:50:15,200 Speaker 2: television station, and I always say yeah, But at the 2351 01:50:15,240 --> 01:50:17,200 Speaker 2: same time, we all kind of get along because we 2352 01:50:17,400 --> 01:50:19,880 Speaker 2: know what each others are what each other are going through, 2353 01:50:19,880 --> 01:50:21,200 Speaker 2: and there's not a lot of us, right, I mean, 2354 01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:22,280 Speaker 2: there's only so many people that do it. 2355 01:50:22,320 --> 01:50:25,719 Speaker 1: I would think in your nature of work that also 2356 01:50:25,760 --> 01:50:26,280 Speaker 1: holds true. 2357 01:50:26,720 --> 01:50:30,000 Speaker 8: It is, it's a very small world. This past weekend 2358 01:50:30,040 --> 01:50:33,720 Speaker 8: I went up to one hundredth Hamiltonian and the meadowlands 2359 01:50:33,760 --> 01:50:37,639 Speaker 8: in New Jersey, and people up there I see own 2360 01:50:37,720 --> 01:50:40,240 Speaker 8: horses down here and they live in New Jersey, but 2361 01:50:40,360 --> 01:50:43,880 Speaker 8: they're buying into Indiana just because the program's so strong, 2362 01:50:44,439 --> 01:50:47,400 Speaker 8: and it's a very small world. And some of them 2363 01:50:47,920 --> 01:50:51,280 Speaker 8: own horses that will actually race against each other and 2364 01:50:51,320 --> 01:50:54,640 Speaker 8: they're interconnected, if that makes any sense. It's kind of 2365 01:50:54,840 --> 01:50:59,360 Speaker 8: a confusing piece, but it's a very small world. 2366 01:50:59,520 --> 01:51:02,599 Speaker 2: In horse the horse racing that we saw today, those 2367 01:51:02,680 --> 01:51:05,240 Speaker 2: horses all two years old. Correct, you had two and 2368 01:51:05,360 --> 01:51:09,000 Speaker 2: three years olds in there. And then again, dumb question. 2369 01:51:09,920 --> 01:51:14,160 Speaker 2: The maximum age a horse can be to race is what. 2370 01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:18,040 Speaker 8: Horse can not race after they're fourteen years old? Okay, 2371 01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:22,200 Speaker 8: And in standard bred world, obviously two and three year 2372 01:51:22,280 --> 01:51:24,479 Speaker 8: olds are very important because that's where they're getting their 2373 01:51:24,520 --> 01:51:26,519 Speaker 8: legs under them and you're starting to understand what kind 2374 01:51:26,560 --> 01:51:29,439 Speaker 8: of horse that is. But sometimes they don't hit their 2375 01:51:29,520 --> 01:51:32,760 Speaker 8: prime until they're five, six, seven, eight years old, and 2376 01:51:33,280 --> 01:51:36,639 Speaker 8: many of them are race competitively up to eleven twelve 2377 01:51:36,720 --> 01:51:38,759 Speaker 8: years old and still be a good horse. 2378 01:51:38,920 --> 01:51:42,200 Speaker 2: I'm going to ask another I'm almost embarrassed to ask 2379 01:51:42,280 --> 01:51:45,519 Speaker 2: it question. Okay, but I know obviously one of the 2380 01:51:45,600 --> 01:51:48,800 Speaker 2: goals in horse racing is to breed a horse that 2381 01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:53,040 Speaker 2: has the pedigree that then escalates the price of you know, 2382 01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:58,840 Speaker 2: it's offspring. Obviously, is a horse allowed to be a 2383 01:51:58,960 --> 01:52:01,800 Speaker 2: stud or being that if it is still racing or 2384 01:52:01,880 --> 01:52:03,439 Speaker 2: is it only once a horse retires? 2385 01:52:03,800 --> 01:52:04,639 Speaker 1: Is that a dumb question? 2386 01:52:04,760 --> 01:52:05,200 Speaker 7: No, it's not. 2387 01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:08,400 Speaker 8: And I've asked that question not too long ago. I've 2388 01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:11,160 Speaker 8: got some familiarity with thoroughbreds, but I had to ask 2389 01:52:11,200 --> 01:52:13,280 Speaker 8: so that in the standard bred world, and there are 2390 01:52:13,400 --> 01:52:16,040 Speaker 8: times that they will breed in the standard bord world 2391 01:52:16,160 --> 01:52:19,719 Speaker 8: and continue racing. The thing that a lot of times 2392 01:52:19,800 --> 01:52:22,280 Speaker 8: you see is if it's a really good pedigree horse 2393 01:52:22,320 --> 01:52:25,679 Speaker 8: and it's a good stallion, a stud, then they don't 2394 01:52:25,720 --> 01:52:28,439 Speaker 8: want to take a chance on that horse maybe racing 2395 01:52:28,680 --> 01:52:33,639 Speaker 8: and turn a foot or do something catastrophic. That horse 2396 01:52:33,720 --> 01:52:36,200 Speaker 8: becomes more valuable because of its breeding. 2397 01:52:36,240 --> 01:52:38,800 Speaker 2: Right, Well, you know it, I mean this year, and 2398 01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:42,160 Speaker 2: I know a lot was made of this. I personally 2399 01:52:42,240 --> 01:52:43,720 Speaker 2: didn't go fact check it. I have no reason to 2400 01:52:43,760 --> 01:52:46,719 Speaker 2: believe it would not be true that this year's Kentucky 2401 01:52:46,800 --> 01:52:51,200 Speaker 2: Derby featured every horse in the Kentucky Derby was of 2402 01:52:51,360 --> 01:52:56,320 Speaker 2: the lineage ancestry wise of Secretariat, It's very possible. So 2403 01:52:56,520 --> 01:52:59,240 Speaker 2: basically they were all like, you know, twelve cousins of 2404 01:52:59,280 --> 01:53:02,240 Speaker 2: one another. But nonetheless I mean, but which is amazing 2405 01:53:02,320 --> 01:53:04,760 Speaker 2: though when you think about it, Tony, because you're talking 2406 01:53:04,760 --> 01:53:09,760 Speaker 2: about a racehorse that was racing fifty two years ago, 2407 01:53:10,640 --> 01:53:14,679 Speaker 2: and yet that shows you the importance of that lineage 2408 01:53:14,720 --> 01:53:16,200 Speaker 2: and that heritage and everything. 2409 01:53:15,920 --> 01:53:16,479 Speaker 1: That goes out with it. 2410 01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:19,360 Speaker 8: You know, next week we're gonna have a young lady 2411 01:53:19,439 --> 01:53:22,759 Speaker 8: on who works with the Midwest Harness Cell. That happens 2412 01:53:22,840 --> 01:53:26,080 Speaker 8: here at the fair Grounds in October, and that's a 2413 01:53:26,160 --> 01:53:28,080 Speaker 8: piece of the business. I really want to kind of 2414 01:53:28,200 --> 01:53:31,479 Speaker 8: show your listeners a little bit and invite them in 2415 01:53:31,640 --> 01:53:34,400 Speaker 8: to see, because that's where the year leans are brought 2416 01:53:34,479 --> 01:53:39,280 Speaker 8: in and they're sold, and you see people and how 2417 01:53:39,280 --> 01:53:41,240 Speaker 8: they're looking at the horse and what are they looking 2418 01:53:41,360 --> 01:53:45,160 Speaker 8: for and is the horse's step the right step? Is 2419 01:53:45,200 --> 01:53:48,880 Speaker 8: the knees are the knees looking solid. It's a piece 2420 01:53:48,920 --> 01:53:52,240 Speaker 8: of the business that I've fallen in love with watching it. 2421 01:53:52,439 --> 01:53:55,840 Speaker 8: And so in October I think she said they're going 2422 01:53:55,920 --> 01:53:58,120 Speaker 8: to sell just over seven hundred horses. 2423 01:53:58,360 --> 01:53:58,639 Speaker 1: Really. 2424 01:53:58,920 --> 01:54:02,800 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a three day process. If you get a 2425 01:54:02,920 --> 01:54:06,000 Speaker 8: chance comes, it's free to go to come, spend just 2426 01:54:06,240 --> 01:54:08,480 Speaker 8: thirty minutes and you will be mesmerized. 2427 01:54:08,960 --> 01:54:11,080 Speaker 2: And I'm sure you know just the care that goes 2428 01:54:11,120 --> 01:54:13,160 Speaker 2: into each and every horse. I mean for that fact, right, 2429 01:54:13,439 --> 01:54:14,960 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a huge animal guy. Right, I'm a 2430 01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:19,559 Speaker 2: huge animal lover. But when you think about the equity 2431 01:54:19,600 --> 01:54:22,600 Speaker 2: that goes into it, that right there is why you know, 2432 01:54:22,680 --> 01:54:25,960 Speaker 2: the treatment, the care, the compassion, all of it that 2433 01:54:26,040 --> 01:54:28,519 Speaker 2: goes in for a horse, which is top notch for 2434 01:54:28,600 --> 01:54:31,160 Speaker 2: those reasons obviously, all right, we have been given away 2435 01:54:31,320 --> 01:54:35,240 Speaker 2: opportunities over the course of the summer to win a 2436 01:54:35,600 --> 01:54:38,840 Speaker 2: state fair pack.

So, Governor Braun, 2452 01:55:24,880 --> 01:55:27,120 Speaker 8: if you're listening, we'd love to have you come out 2453 01:55:27,200 --> 01:55:29,920 Speaker 8: and also present a trophy at the Governor's Cup. 2454 01:55:30,240 --> 01:55:32,760 Speaker 2: That's right, It is the Governor's Cup, right, so I 2455 01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:34,920 Speaker 2: guess he just calls it the my cup right when 2456 01:55:34,920 --> 01:55:36,960 Speaker 2: he's handing it out. But again, Tony Rin's the executive 2457 01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:41,240 Speaker 2: director of the Indiana Standardbred Association and the winner again, 2458 01:55:41,400 --> 01:55:44,520 Speaker 2: Laura Sheer of Indianapolis, will get that prize pack, which 2459 01:55:44,600 --> 01:55:47,560 Speaker 2: is very very cool.

Keep in mind, this is 2506 01:57:37,520 --> 01:57:39,600 Speaker 2: something that's been taking place in this state with this 2507 01:57:39,760 --> 01:57:42,600 Speaker 2: sport for now, gosh, nearly one hundred and fifty years, 2508 01:57:42,640 --> 01:57:44,600 Speaker 2: been taking place at the State Fair for nearly one hundred, 2509 01:57:44,760 --> 01:57:48,120 Speaker 2: So we're talking about a rich, rich tradition of horse 2510 01:57:48,240 --> 01:57:51,520 Speaker 2: racing in Indiana. Also a rich tradition is that of 2511 01:57:51,640 --> 01:57:54,200 Speaker 2: talking about the quarterback position for the Colts, and we 2512 01:57:54,240 --> 01:57:56,680 Speaker 2: will get into that because it took place yesterday in 2513 01:57:56,760 --> 01:57:59,800 Speaker 2: Baltimore with the practices with the Ravens, including a fight. 2514 01:58:00,240 --> 01:58:02,120 Speaker 2: We'll let you know what happened with the fisticuffs and 2515 01:58:02,280 --> 01:58:05,360 Speaker 2: what player led to it.

I think, well, right when 2527 01:58:42,360 --> 01:58:46,560 Speaker 2: the tickets came out, my annual Shannon and I's annual 2528 01:58:46,640 --> 01:58:48,880 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball Day game. We do one per year, 2529 01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:50,760 Speaker 2: and we'll do we are doing it a week from today, 2530 01:58:50,800 --> 01:58:54,560 Speaker 2: and that was set in stone and all locked in 2531 01:58:54,720 --> 01:58:57,640 Speaker 2: for all of the logistics for it. But Greg will 2532 01:58:57,640 --> 01:58:59,560 Speaker 2: be here a week from today. Gonna be a lot 2533 01:58:59,600 --> 01:59:02,040 Speaker 2: of fun and I know that he will enjoy being 2534 01:59:02,080 --> 01:59:04,480 Speaker 2: out here. Rick was a super cool dude. It was 2535 01:59:04,520 --> 01:59:07,600 Speaker 2: a fun interview chatting with a guy that calls horse 2536 01:59:07,680 --> 01:59:11,280 Speaker 2: racing and grew up doing so in Canada. And when 2537 01:59:11,320 --> 01:59:14,920 Speaker 2: he mentioned having you know, the tape on his carpet 2538 01:59:15,120 --> 01:59:18,480 Speaker 2: and pushing pieces around and calling a race fictionally, I 2539 01:59:19,200 --> 01:59:21,200 Speaker 2: a hundred percent can relate to that. And I know 2540 01:59:21,360 --> 01:59:23,440 Speaker 2: Mark James would tell you the same thing when he 2541 01:59:23,600 --> 01:59:26,760 Speaker 2: was a kid, you know, dreaming of calling the five hundred. 2542 01:59:27,400 --> 01:59:31,680 Speaker 2: And you know, just by in Rick's case, skill came 2543 01:59:31,720 --> 01:59:33,680 Speaker 2: into play. In my case, in a Marx case, but 2544 01:59:33,760 --> 01:59:36,720 Speaker 2: in my case, just right place, right time, truth be 2545 01:59:36,840 --> 01:59:41,360 Speaker 2: told yesterday, right place, right time, or wrong place, wrong time. 2546 01:59:41,520 --> 01:59:44,960 Speaker 2: For Nate Wiggins, the young defensive back for the Ravens 2547 01:59:44,960 --> 01:59:47,880 Speaker 2: who was a first round pick a year ago, still 2548 01:59:48,040 --> 01:59:51,840 Speaker 2: just twenty one years old, but he was getting as 2549 01:59:52,080 --> 01:59:55,880 Speaker 2: James Boyd said earlier today he was getting cooked by 2550 01:59:56,640 --> 02:00:00,480 Speaker 2: Adie Mitchell, and Adie Mitchell was routinely burning him. That 2551 02:00:00,800 --> 02:00:05,440 Speaker 2: was not the reason, per se for the fisticuffs that 2552 02:00:05,480 --> 02:00:08,919 Speaker 2: took place. I'm using fisticuffs in air quotes. The skirmish 2553 02:00:08,960 --> 02:00:12,280 Speaker 2: that took place at Colts Camp yesterday. It happened during 2554 02:00:12,400 --> 02:00:16,160 Speaker 2: a special teams drill when Tyler Goodson got knocked down. 2555 02:00:16,320 --> 02:00:20,880 Speaker 2: I think took exception to the force with which he 2556 02:00:20,960 --> 02:00:23,320 Speaker 2: was knocked down, and when he jumped up with a 2557 02:00:23,360 --> 02:00:26,920 Speaker 2: little bravada about him. That led to some pushing and shoving, 2558 02:00:27,080 --> 02:00:29,840 Speaker 2: and that led for Nate Wiggins to jump off of 2559 02:00:29,880 --> 02:00:33,680 Speaker 2: the sidelines, run out for the Ravens and get involved 2560 02:00:33,840 --> 02:00:36,760 Speaker 2: in the fray that led for Nate Wiggins to have 2561 02:00:37,080 --> 02:00:40,800 Speaker 2: an early end to the practice session. The reason I 2562 02:00:40,920 --> 02:00:45,640 Speaker 2: mention it, you would have to assume that perhaps some 2563 02:00:45,800 --> 02:00:48,200 Speaker 2: of that was the frustration of what had taken place 2564 02:00:48,240 --> 02:00:50,280 Speaker 2: for him over the course of the day, and what 2565 02:00:50,400 --> 02:00:52,240 Speaker 2: had taken place for him over the course of the 2566 02:00:52,320 --> 02:00:57,360 Speaker 2: day was the play of eighty Mitchell gettinghim frustrated. 2567 02:00:57,560 --> 02:01:01,120 Speaker 1: And that's a good thing. Because we talked about this earlier. 2568 02:01:01,200 --> 02:01:05,280 Speaker 2: I don't know exactly what the role is for Adie Mitchell, 2569 02:01:05,560 --> 02:01:07,360 Speaker 2: but you wanted to be a role. I mean, obviously 2570 02:01:07,440 --> 02:01:09,000 Speaker 2: he had a role within the offense a year ago, 2571 02:01:09,560 --> 02:01:11,680 Speaker 2: but for the Colts, part of the role that he 2572 02:01:11,760 --> 02:01:14,680 Speaker 2: had within the offense you almost felt like was them 2573 02:01:14,800 --> 02:01:20,320 Speaker 2: going through the window dressing of trying to get him 2574 02:01:20,360 --> 02:01:22,320 Speaker 2: involved just to see, you know, to acclimate him, but 2575 02:01:22,360 --> 02:01:25,800 Speaker 2: also to see who and what he is. And for 2576 02:01:25,920 --> 02:01:27,320 Speaker 2: the most part he was a guy that was just 2577 02:01:27,400 --> 02:01:30,800 Speaker 2: kind of going through the reps. But what has been 2578 02:01:30,920 --> 02:01:35,120 Speaker 2: preached about the wide receiver position in the NFL by 2579 02:01:35,200 --> 02:01:41,320 Speaker 2: the Colts patients patience and letting it come naturally. And 2580 02:01:42,160 --> 02:01:44,960 Speaker 2: I think that you know, certainly, we have made the 2581 02:01:45,080 --> 02:01:49,800 Speaker 2: point a lot that Reggie Wayne was not a year 2582 02:01:49,880 --> 02:01:54,240 Speaker 2: one breakout. Alec Pierce was not a year one breakout. 2583 02:01:55,480 --> 02:01:57,200 Speaker 2: I mean, Marvin Harrison was a year one breakout, and 2584 02:01:57,200 --> 02:01:59,560 Speaker 2: then he got hurt and separated his shoulder. 2585 02:02:00,040 --> 02:02:01,800 Speaker 1: It was and miss time. 2586 02:02:02,080 --> 02:02:05,600 Speaker 2: So it takes a while at that position to just 2587 02:02:05,760 --> 02:02:08,440 Speaker 2: kind of figure out who and what you are. And 2588 02:02:08,520 --> 02:02:11,320 Speaker 2: I think Adie Mitchell a year ago, you hope, I mean, 2589 02:02:11,400 --> 02:02:13,920 Speaker 2: the hope is that that was the only thing holding 2590 02:02:14,000 --> 02:02:19,160 Speaker 2: back Adie Mitchell was simply time, you know, and what 2591 02:02:19,280 --> 02:02:20,360 Speaker 2: have we learned in the movie. 2592 02:02:20,160 --> 02:02:21,960 Speaker 1: That Eddie has yet to see shawshank redemption. 2593 02:02:22,200 --> 02:02:25,400 Speaker 2: I have not. Sometimes all it takes is pressure and time, 2594 02:02:26,160 --> 02:02:29,080 Speaker 2: and in the case of Adie Mitchell, maybe he realizes 2595 02:02:29,160 --> 02:02:32,800 Speaker 2: that the clock is ticking. Yes, you get time in 2596 02:02:32,880 --> 02:02:35,040 Speaker 2: the NFL, but at the receiver position you probably get 2597 02:02:35,080 --> 02:02:36,520 Speaker 2: two years. And so he knows this is a big 2598 02:02:36,600 --> 02:02:39,520 Speaker 2: year for him. And so far in camp he has 2599 02:02:39,600 --> 02:02:43,040 Speaker 2: had a good camp, and notably of late, I don't 2600 02:02:43,080 --> 02:02:44,840 Speaker 2: know that it started out a great camp for Ady Mitchell. 2601 02:02:44,840 --> 02:02:47,480 Speaker 2: There was certainly some talk of like, where is Adie Mitchell, 2602 02:02:47,520 --> 02:02:49,840 Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, it was just boom, 2603 02:02:50,880 --> 02:02:54,640 Speaker 2: there he is. And he's played well. The other storyline 2604 02:02:54,640 --> 02:02:58,400 Speaker 2: that came out yesterday aside from the quarterback position, and 2605 02:02:58,440 --> 02:03:01,080 Speaker 2: we're going to talk about that plenty between now and 2606 02:03:01,600 --> 02:03:02,080 Speaker 2: week one. 2607 02:03:03,040 --> 02:03:08,360 Speaker 1: And I have totally flip flopped. Barring an injury. 2608 02:03:09,800 --> 02:03:13,720 Speaker 2: Or a complete collapse, I think at this point it 2609 02:03:13,840 --> 02:03:16,840 Speaker 2: is Anthony Richardson's job, and it probably has been all along. 2610 02:03:17,320 --> 02:03:18,760 Speaker 1: I really thought Daniel Jones. 2611 02:03:18,800 --> 02:03:21,080 Speaker 2: There was this weird feeling that Daniel Jones might have 2612 02:03:21,120 --> 02:03:23,200 Speaker 2: been just a more consistent option and that was going 2613 02:03:23,280 --> 02:03:25,520 Speaker 2: to allow him to be the one to get the nod, 2614 02:03:26,160 --> 02:03:30,040 Speaker 2: But I'm off of that now. I think just based 2615 02:03:30,160 --> 02:03:33,760 Speaker 2: on the way the process, the way things have gone, 2616 02:03:34,280 --> 02:03:37,480 Speaker 2: the reps that he's gotten, it feels to me like, 2617 02:03:37,560 --> 02:03:39,600 Speaker 2: in fact, Anthony Richardson is going to be the guy 2618 02:03:40,160 --> 02:03:43,400 Speaker 2: and he's earned that right this year, because it does 2619 02:03:43,560 --> 02:03:46,040 Speaker 2: look like has he jumped out at you and said, 2620 02:03:46,680 --> 02:03:50,720 Speaker 2: holy cow, this is Steve young Michael Vick, you know, 2621 02:03:50,800 --> 02:03:53,480 Speaker 2: all wrapped into one. No he is not. But he 2622 02:03:53,640 --> 02:03:58,080 Speaker 2: hasn't regressed per se. It has not been as noticeable 2623 02:03:58,200 --> 02:04:02,800 Speaker 2: a regression as what would take probably for him to 2624 02:04:02,840 --> 02:04:04,480 Speaker 2: have the keys taken back away from him. And I 2625 02:04:04,560 --> 02:04:09,240 Speaker 2: think the Colts learned from putting him at an accelerated 2626 02:04:09,320 --> 02:04:12,080 Speaker 2: pace into a role without making him earn it first. 2627 02:04:12,600 --> 02:04:16,400 Speaker 2: And even if even if they knew Daniel Jones was 2628 02:04:16,480 --> 02:04:18,480 Speaker 2: not going to be the guy that was going to 2629 02:04:18,520 --> 02:04:20,480 Speaker 2: come in and jump off the page, they have at 2630 02:04:20,520 --> 02:04:25,560 Speaker 2: the very least they have created the imagery or the 2631 02:04:25,680 --> 02:04:29,480 Speaker 2: design that Anthony Richardson has earned the job and earned 2632 02:04:29,920 --> 02:04:33,120 Speaker 2: the right. Hunter Waller is another storyline that we have 2633 02:04:33,240 --> 02:04:35,880 Speaker 2: not talked a lot about, but yesterday kind of jumped 2634 02:04:35,920 --> 02:04:37,920 Speaker 2: out had a couple of picks of Lamar Jackson, or 2635 02:04:37,920 --> 02:04:40,000 Speaker 2: a couple of picks. One of them on Lamar Jackson, 2636 02:04:40,320 --> 02:04:42,480 Speaker 2: the seventh round pick, the safety out of Wisconsin. We 2637 02:04:42,520 --> 02:04:44,240 Speaker 2: had him on the show right after he was drafted. 2638 02:04:44,360 --> 02:04:48,360 Speaker 2: Was super fun and you're pulling for the guy because 2639 02:04:48,440 --> 02:04:50,280 Speaker 2: number one, he was a super fun interview, but more 2640 02:04:50,320 --> 02:04:53,320 Speaker 2: importantly because that is I mean, if you are a 2641 02:04:53,480 --> 02:05:00,760 Speaker 2: seventh round pick. Great franchises and very good teams are 2642 02:05:00,880 --> 02:05:03,840 Speaker 2: often not defined by their first and second round pick. 2643 02:05:04,320 --> 02:05:07,320 Speaker 2: They're often defined by the frequency with which they can 2644 02:05:07,360 --> 02:05:10,880 Speaker 2: get production out of the like five through eight guys 2645 02:05:11,840 --> 02:05:15,760 Speaker 2: in by round and when once you reach a mountaintop. 2646 02:05:16,480 --> 02:05:20,640 Speaker 2: If you look at the Peyton Manning era Colts, they 2647 02:05:20,720 --> 02:05:22,760 Speaker 2: got a lot of production out of seventh and eighth 2648 02:05:22,840 --> 02:05:27,600 Speaker 2: round picks and undrafted free agents. But at the same time, 2649 02:05:27,840 --> 02:05:29,520 Speaker 2: some of that was a little bit of fool's goal 2650 02:05:29,640 --> 02:05:33,160 Speaker 2: because their salary was such that they had like eighty 2651 02:05:33,200 --> 02:05:35,400 Speaker 2: percent of their salary was tied up in their top 2652 02:05:35,520 --> 02:05:40,440 Speaker 2: ten percent of players. And so when you have Peyton 2653 02:05:40,520 --> 02:05:43,400 Speaker 2: Manning and Dwight Freeney and Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne 2654 02:05:43,440 --> 02:05:47,280 Speaker 2: and Edrin James and Robert mathis that are making so 2655 02:05:47,520 --> 02:05:52,280 Speaker 2: much money, you have to make that up by putting 2656 02:05:52,400 --> 02:05:55,800 Speaker 2: guys in position at the bare minimum cost. And so 2657 02:05:55,960 --> 02:05:58,880 Speaker 2: the Jason Davids of the world you can look at 2658 02:05:58,920 --> 02:06:01,800 Speaker 2: and say, man, that they got huge value at that position. 2659 02:06:01,880 --> 02:06:04,480 Speaker 2: They got great reps at that position. But there also 2660 02:06:04,520 --> 02:06:06,240 Speaker 2: is a level of you're kind of masking it a 2661 02:06:06,280 --> 02:06:08,400 Speaker 2: little bit, and so inorganically you have guys that are 2662 02:06:08,400 --> 02:06:11,200 Speaker 2: playing that spot because you can't afford to put somebody 2663 02:06:11,240 --> 02:06:14,040 Speaker 2: there that is a third round pick, and so you 2664 02:06:14,280 --> 02:06:16,560 Speaker 2: have to put guys in there. And Jason David was 2665 02:06:16,600 --> 02:06:18,040 Speaker 2: a good player, don't get me wrong, but you have 2666 02:06:18,120 --> 02:06:19,800 Speaker 2: to put guys in there to an extent just to 2667 02:06:19,840 --> 02:06:22,240 Speaker 2: make it work. And in this case for the Colts, 2668 02:06:22,560 --> 02:06:24,960 Speaker 2: it's not necessarily about that. It's about just trying to 2669 02:06:25,040 --> 02:06:27,080 Speaker 2: find the best players you can get. And when you 2670 02:06:27,240 --> 02:06:31,040 Speaker 2: get guys that organically as seventh and eighth rounders are 2671 02:06:31,160 --> 02:06:33,720 Speaker 2: playing their way under the roster, not out of financial 2672 02:06:33,800 --> 02:06:36,160 Speaker 2: necessity for the franchise, but out of the fact that 2673 02:06:36,280 --> 02:06:39,520 Speaker 2: they are producing. And they got that yesterday from Wolert. 2674 02:06:39,680 --> 02:06:42,240 Speaker 2: That's a bonus. That's a bonus, And yeah, is he 2675 02:06:42,280 --> 02:06:44,400 Speaker 2: going to be your starting safety no. Is he a 2676 02:06:44,520 --> 02:06:46,840 Speaker 2: depth piece that is going to be a special teams 2677 02:06:46,880 --> 02:06:49,480 Speaker 2: guy to begin with, and then in an emergency you 2678 02:06:49,520 --> 02:06:51,280 Speaker 2: can put them in there and feel good about it. Yes, 2679 02:06:51,680 --> 02:06:54,879 Speaker 2: that's what you're looking for at that spot. I appreciate 2680 02:06:54,920 --> 02:06:57,880 Speaker 2: everybody having us out today for the harness racing here 2681 02:06:58,040 --> 02:07:01,920 Speaker 2: at the Indiana State Fair tomorrow Legends Golf Course. 2682 02:07:01,960 --> 02:07:02,720 Speaker 1: We look forward to it. 2683 02:07:02,800 --> 02:07:06,440 Speaker 2: Franciscan Health and their foundation will benefit from our golf 2684 02:07:06,520 --> 02:07:08,640 Speaker 2: outing will be out there all day tomorrow.
