00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: Oh, for Jonathan Taylor.

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,439
Speaker 2: There he goes again, fifteen forty down the far sideline.

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 3: You're gonna do it again?

4
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 2: Turn touchdown?

5
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 4: Why the conference championship has been captured?

Speaker 7: The week sixteen in the NFL already flying by?

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

18
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: I feel like I always count down the year based

19
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: off of the weeks. When it comes to the NFL calendar,

20
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: it always goes by fast for me because the work

21
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: in trying to story, trying to keep up with the

22
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 2: latest things in the NFL. So it is a part

23
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: of the course for you, boy.

24
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, And it goes on and you and Kevin will

25
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 7: be out there again today.

26
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: And Kevin, I know.

27
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 7: Everybody wants to see what's going on with the Philip

28
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 7: Rivers experience at this point in time. What are some

29
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 7: of the other things you will keep your eagle.

30
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: Eye on today when you head out to West fifty six.

31
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 8: Yeah again, everything push back a day this week with

32
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 8: how the Colts have operated here on the Monday night schedule.

33
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 8: I must say, though, before we get into Colts news items.

34
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,279
Speaker 8: I'm driving down to work here on this Thursday morning.

35
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 8: Shout out to Caleb Zoomer. Caleb, thanks for coming out

36
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 8: of the bullpen. Always a great addition to the show.

37
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 8: Mark Dyton absent, and I was unfamiliar with why Mark

38
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 8: was out, Not that I need to be in Mark's business,

39
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 8: but you know, I'm driving.

40
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: All of a sudden I look.

41
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 8: Over at Governor Mike Brown's mansion as I'm driving down Meridian,

42
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 8: and there, in a dick mustache is Mark Dyton in

43
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 8: the front lawn, channing bricky bull bricks e Bull brick

44
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 8: ey Bull. It could happen the Chicago Bears in Northwest

45
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 8: Stadium and James Boyd. What would the NW the Region,

46
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 8: n W Times or WI Times.

47
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: The Times of Northwest India, Times.

48
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 8: Of Northwest Indiana, how about that news item Kevin Warren.

49
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 8: That's some leverage that he's thrown out there. The first

50
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 8: place he mentioned was northwest Indiana.

51
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: That was pretty funny, Honestly, people had all the jokes

52
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: ready East Chicago Bears, like, it's already set up for you.

53
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: Remodel the Bricky bawl. Maybe don't even remodel the bricky ball.

54
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: Maybe it's going to go I've written about the Bricky Bowl.

55
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 8: I like the Gary Bears myself. How about the Steelyard

56
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 8: in Gary? Can you know, turn the baseball diamond.

57
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 7: Into a little much like the Patriots went New England?

58
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 7: Do you go Chicago Land Bears? What do you do

59
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 7: up there?

60
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it certainly is funny, just because

61
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: every single Chicago Bears stadium updated I've kind of gotten

62
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: over the last year or so has gone in reverse.

63
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: None of it has been anything going forward right or

64
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: progress in that direction.

65
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 8: So, yeah, they moved the ball like the Colts offense

66
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 8: with Philip Rivers.

67
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. I can't wait to ask my family about this,

68
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: and it will be so fun to have to Indiana teams,

69
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: And you better believe I would never call them Chicago.

70
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 8: Bears a game So what NFL teams I was thinking

71
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 8: about this.

72
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: Obviously, have the New York teams?

73
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 8: Are there any other NFL teams that play in the

74
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 8: stadium that's not in their state?

75
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean, well, I don't know about their state,

76
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: but there's a few that aren't in that city.

77
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 8: I mean, Jeff obviously brings up the New England Patriots.

78
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 8: I mean that you have that because.

79
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: San Francisco to the planet San Francisco anymore.

80
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 8: That's There are definitely several NFL teams that play, But.

81
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: I don't know about the state thing. The state thing

82
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: is crazy. I still think that it's it's ridiculous to

83
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: call the New York New York the New York Jets

84
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: and Giants the New York whatever. It's in New Jersey. Period.

85
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 8: So for those that missed it, yesterday, Kevin Woarren, the

86
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 8: CEO of the Bears, released the statement to their fans,

87
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 8: A long, long statement. Uh and in the stadium update,

88
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 8: which how about the timing of this? Like Bears Packers

89
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 8: Saturday Night is one of the biggest games that franchises

90
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 8: had in years, they released a stadium update where basically

91
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 8: saying Arlington Heights where the new stadium was going to

92
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 8: go at least at the thought. It doesn't sound like

93
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 8: that is happening. And one of the areas that he

94
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 8: mentions that they could possibly pursue is northwest Indiana.

95
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: So shout out to.

96
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 8: The region there. Governor Mike Brown tweeting about it last night.

97
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 8: So look at that forty nine states.

98
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: It's just football, But this is Indiana, right, That's how

99
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: we do it.

100
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 8: College football in Bloomington and two NFL team Hoosiers have

101
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 8: changed everything.

102
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 7: This is the place to be for football. I read

103
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 7: that letter that Kevin Warren wrote. Did you read the

104
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 7: whole thing, Kevin.

105
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie.

106
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 8: I kind of skimmed it and then really saw the

107
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 8: Northwest Indiana part and then read that.

108
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 7: He was extremely almost a love letter to the fans,

109
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 7: but said very kind of matter of factly that the

110
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 7: folks in Chicago and Illinois didn't look as at their

111
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 7: new stadium proposal in Arlington Heights as any kind of

112
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 7: priority this legislative session.

113
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: Then you got to use the leverage of the two

114
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 2: one nine. There you go.

115
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 7: I didn't even know what the prefix was up there.

116
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 7: That's the two one.

117
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: Nine up there. Yes, indeed, man gotta love that.

118
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 7: So, yeah, that was interesting. I read that right before

119
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 7: I went to bed last night. I was reading that

120
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 7: letter and I thought, Okay, there's a little bit of pressure.

121
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 7: There's no way though they end up not playing somewhere

122
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 7: in the Chicago, Illinois region though, right.

123
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 8: Gosh, you imagine James Caleb Williams running for touchdowns in

124
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 8: the Bricky Bowl. How great would that be?

125
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 9: Oh?

126
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: Awesome would be?

127
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 7: I think someone pointed out on social media that they

128
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 7: originally were founded as the Decatur They were a Decatur franchise.

129
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 8: Oh, Johnny can confirm this. I mean they did a

130
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 8: training camp at Rinsea Lear for yeah, quite a while there,

131
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 8: Saint Joseph, so uh yeah. That obviously is a topic

132
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 8: for the.

133
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: Back burner here.

134
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 8: The front burner would be the Colts and certainly today

135
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 8: James is going to be a newsy one. You would think,

136
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 8: you know, we will get some clarity on whether Anthony

137
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 8: Richardson indeed will practice for the first time in over

138
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 8: two months. And the Andrey list is notable. I mean

139
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 8: heading into Monday night, exactly what is the latest on

140
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 8: Bernard Ryman and that elbow? And then defensively, as great

141
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 8: as your unit played on Sunday. You could be getting

142
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 8: through the best players easily on that side of the

143
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 8: ball back now could I will stress, But we'll see

144
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 8: about deforce Buckner and a second week of practice for him,

145
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 8: and then to Sauce Gardner practice for the first time

146
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 8: since he injured that calf. I believe that was the

147
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 8: last day of November, so you know, those are definitely

148
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 8: the news items to keep an eye on for today.

149
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 7: I just have a question, and we kind of talked

150
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 7: about it yesterday, but why is it okay for Philip

151
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 7: Rivers to get up off the couch after five years

152
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 7: of not playing in the NFL and be NFL ready

153
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 7: but young, healthy, fit, amazing athlete Anthony Richardson, who I'm

154
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 7: guessing hadn't just stopped working out altogether needs a ramp

155
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 7: up period to get back into football shape. Those two

156
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 7: things don't correlate to me, James, so I believe it's.

157
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: Well, he did stop working out for a very long time. Yes,

158
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: he broke his face. He couldn't do anything, so the

159
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: medical orders were literally do nothing. So just to clarify

160
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: that for the people listening, Yeah, this was a very

161
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: severe and serious injury that required him to not do

162
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: a lot of day to day things that we take

163
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: for granted, like sneeze. He couldn't even sneeze. I mean,

164
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: obviously you can't really control that, but the doctors tell

165
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: you many hard not to sneeze. You know, you have

166
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: to sleep, probably sitting up or something, because you can't

167
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: sleep on your face. You can't run, you can't do

168
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: a lot of things when your face is fractured. So yeah,

169
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: I get your point overall, Jeff, and I think it's probably.

170
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: One that just a thought that went through my head.

171
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, just to clarify it, No, he literally could

172
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 2: not do anything.

173
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 8: Maybe seven thirty we can play that audio, you know,

174
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 8: I know Mark cutt it yesterday and Caleb, let's say

175
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 8: that for seven thirty. It was a question change Steiken

176
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 8: did field on Monday. You know, I'm curious if and

177
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 8: when Anthony Richard Richarson gets cleared, could you involve him

178
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 8: in some short yardage at the very least that was

179
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 8: something they really didn't encounter in Seattle at all. The

180
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 8: one short yardage was Taylor got stuff. Granted it was

181
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 8: a false start and actually worked out for you that

182
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 8: it was a false start there. So you know, does

183
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 8: any of that get explored at all, so definitely something to.

184
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: Pay attention to today.

185
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 7: All Right, we got that Pacers back on the floor tonight.

186
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 7: You got to get going again. They've lost four of

187
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 7: their last six. The Knicks coming fresh off their NBA

188
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 7: Cup championship, Kevin, you're hopeful that they will be having

189
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 7: the celebratory hangover from said cup.

190
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 8: Well, the injured board indicates some guys who are definitely

191
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 8: nursing some things, So they have a slew of dudes

192
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 8: listed as questionable. So anytime you see this, I'm always

193
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 8: curious what exactly that'll mean for their availablity. Vegas clearly

194
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 8: thinks some guys are going to be out. It's only

195
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 8: a four point spread, so Jalen Brunson, Michale Bridges good

196
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 8: to go. But outside of that you have Karl Anthony

197
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 8: Town's questionable, I believe Mitchell Robinson's questionable, Ognnobi questionable. I

198
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 8: think Josh Hart might be the other one of note there,

199
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 8: and Duce McBride is out. So yeah, this is a

200
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 8: great scheduling opportunity for the Pacers.

201
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: That's probably the best way to put it. And it's

202
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: kind of wild to say.

203
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 8: That they're looking for their first win over team above

204
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 8: five hundred, and we'll see if they get it against

205
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 8: potentially a let's call them a tired next team. Don't

206
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,599
Speaker 8: want to group everybody in the hangover, but maybe just

207
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 8: a tired.

208
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: Just go get it.

209
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 7: The guys I see on the injury report right now,

210
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 7: and maybe you can correct me. I see Neesmith, Shepherd

211
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 7: and other than like the per You know, the guys

212
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 7: are going to be out for quite some time. Is

213
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 7: there anybody else on there that's dealing with anything right

214
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 7: now that I'm just missing Topping?

215
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: Yeah?

216
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 7: Top's he but he's out till February, right, right, So

217
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 7: maybe this is as healthy as they've been in a while,

218
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 7: other than the Smith, right.

219
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: Wellmith and Shepherd?

220
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I guess you know again, that's like

221
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 8: saying the most attractive bowen at Christmas.

222
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: It's a good looking family. Why are you going there?

223
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 5: Sorry?

224
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: Christmas card? Yes today, it's a good looking family.

225
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 8: Well, I was talking more about my brother and my father.

226
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: It didn't take you long to get there, did it,

227
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: James kV.

228
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 2: He's like, look, I bet you know my batty are

229
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: pretty good in the dating pool.

230
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 8: I really hope that they're not listening.

231
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, something tells me it all gets back to them.

232
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 7: My wife never listens, and she knows everything that ever happened.

233
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 8: You guys think Mark Dkedent'll pick it outside Governor Bron's

234
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 8: mansion all day.

235
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: I don't know about Picket.

236
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 7: I think you're right though, he'll just start pruning and

237
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 7: cutting lawn and stuff like that and just trying to

238
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 7: kiss up to him.

239
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 8: Don't you think the bears have chance? Like is there

240
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 8: like a big bear like J. E. T.

241
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: S Or?

242
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 2: I don't know, is there a bears thing?

243
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: I mean, here's my thing.

244
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: Of all the days Mark could miss, right, like, this

245
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: would be the one that Mark should be in here.

246
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: But literally we should wake him literally, No, that's not what.

247
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: Do not wake him up? That was you don't want that?

248
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 2: Well, let's be honest, he's already well up.

249
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, Mark, if you're listening, you want to participate, go

250
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 7: ahead and call in.

251
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: Did you have a shavement on Twitter last night?

252
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 7: We probably should get Probably Leader probably wrote one out right. Well,

253
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 7: he nice font and everything with a little like rugged

254
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 7: background and everything.

255
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 8: I mean, after he attacked you with that Philip Rivers

256
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 8: re entry, I think you should be able to dance

257
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 8: on Mark Dyton's grave a little bit today.

258
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: I thought that was funny though, be honest with you,

259
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: So all right, coming up in a moment, check it down.

260

00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,520

Speaker 7: on tonight, and get the very latest on the cults

Speaker 7: and what's going on there. We'll take your thoughts and

264
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 7: comments all day long at two three, nine, ten seven.

265
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: You can do that on the text line.

266
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 7: You can also call us up on the phones CALEA

267
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 7: have been for Mark Dyton today and we are good

268
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 7: to go on a Thursday morning.

269
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 6: The Morning Checkdown on ninety three five and one oh

270
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 6: seven five the Fan.

271
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: Good morning everyone. A lot going on the culture back

272
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: at it today.

273
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 7: It is a Monday night football week, so they are

274
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 7: just a day behind on everything. The philip Rivers experience continue, Oh,

275
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 7: James Boyd, as this thing develops and goes on.

276
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: What are we looking for this week from the Colts?

277
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 2: Some offense that is perhaps a little bit more down

278
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 2: the field. I think that is the big question we

279
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: have for philip Rivers today and going forward into the

280
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers game. Can you play a little bit

281
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 2: more than just dink and dunk.

282
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 7: And it's not like the game plan was specifically meant

283
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 7: for them to play it close to the vest. Just

284
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 7: put themselves in good positions for third down and try

285
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 7: to matriculate down the field. I can't say it this

286
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 7: morning quite.

287
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: The word, but yeah, that is what they're telling us.

288
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: But physically can he do it? We'll find out.

289
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. Other things that we'll be keeping an eye on today.

290
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 7: Kevin Bowen, Sas Gardner, the Forrest Buckner, anybody else that

291
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 7: you're going to see if they're out there participating.

292
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, Bernard Ryman, definitely throw him into the mix. You know,

293
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 8: the Colts had gone what James twelve straight games I

294
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 8: think with their starting tackle duo. Then Braden Smith we

295
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 8: see gets hurt in the Jacksonville game. So now we

296
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 8: know it'll be Jalen Travis, the rookie. I thought that

297
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 8: nice job. Jim Bob Kuter is complimentary of him yesterday,

298
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 8: and we'll see if it's Luke Tanuda getting I believe

299
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 8: his first NFL start.

300
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: It would be coming up on Monday night.

301
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 4: Now.

302
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 8: One thing to point out, San Francisco's the worst sacked

303
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 8: team of the NFL. So on paper, you know, if

304
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 8: there ever is going to be a week to be down,

305
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 8: you know your two tackles.

306
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: Obviously you don't want any of that to happen.

307
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 8: But Philip Rivers getting the ball out rapid fire and

308
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 8: the worst sacked team in the NFL is not a

309
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 8: bad time to have it happen.

310
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: All right.

311
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 7: That is what's happening out at West fifty six today.

312
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 7: Later on tonight, the Rams and Seahawks play for supremacy

313
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 7: in the NFC West Kevin. Both teams are eleven and three.

314
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 7: Puka Nakua taking a flamethrower to the NFL officials yesterday,

315
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 7: calling them the worst, while in a live stream with

316
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 7: popular internet streamers Aiden Ross and Neon are n three on?

317
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: I think they say Neon though.

318
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 7: He says, quote James, the refs are the worst because

319
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 7: some of these guys some of the rules aren't. These

320
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 7: guys are lawyers. They want to be on TV too, brouh.

321
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 7: They just want to be on TV, so they make calls.

322
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 7: How's that gonna go for Pooka?

323
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 2: He probably gonna have to pay a lot of money

324
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: in a fine. But yeah, that whole stream was interesting,

325
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: to say the least, and I think that someone needs

326
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 2: to get in his ear and tell him nothing good

327
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: can come of that. And he looks like, quite frankly

328
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 2: a moron doing that.

329
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, Probably the most iato controversial thing that he said

330
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 7: was quote, you don't think he's texting his friends in

331
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 7: the group chat, like, Yo, you guys just saw me

332
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 7: on Sunday night football. Like that wasn't passing of friends,

333
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 7: but I called it. These guys are normal human beings.

334
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: Bro. Yeah, probably not the most controversial thing he did

335
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 2: on that YouTube stream. Seriously, he needs to have to

336
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: talk to him about how to be an adult anyway.

337
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 7: Tonight ram Seahawks both eleven and three. At this point

338
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 7: in time here in Indianapolis, the Pacers will host the

339
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 7: New York Knicks. Knicks fresh off that victory in the

340
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 7: NBA Cup seven o'clock tips, six thirty airtime, Pacers have

341
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 7: lost four of their last six. They get ready to

342
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 7: take on the Pelicans on the road on Saturday as well.

343
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 7: Any other Pacers nuggets you want to drop in today,

344
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 7: Kevin Bond.

345
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, Ben mcmatheren, Tod say yesterday, you know, the tow

346
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 8: injury feels like it's definitely still bothering him, And I

347
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 8: think that's kind of the odd or the difficulty in

348
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 8: this Pacer season. It's, you know, whether Nemhart or Matherin

349
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 8: or Siakam, you know, anything that they're dealing with. It's

350
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 8: just hard to look at them and say, hey, why

351
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 8: don't you sit for a couple of games. I mean,

352
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 8: you're in such a dire need to have those guys

353
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 8: carry so much of the heavy lifting for you here.

354
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 8: So again, you're only a four point underdog. So I

355
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 8: think a lot of that has to do with the

356
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 8: Knicks availability for tonight. How many of them do play

357
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 8: Outside of Jalen Brunson and Michal Bridges. It sounds like

358
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 8: a lot of those normal Knicks players will be iffy,

359
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 8: So good schedule opportunity for the Pacers. We'll see if

360
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 8: they can take aim in all right.

361
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: And also big, big news that we talked about a

362
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: few moments ago.

363
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 7: If you're just joining us and didn't see it last night,

364
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 7: the Chicago Bears say they will now explore a potential

365
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 7: news stadium in northwest Indiana because their efforts to try

366
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 7: and build one of the Arlington Heights in the Chicago

367
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 7: Land area just north.

368
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: Of Chicago seem to be stalled out, not going anywhere.

369
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 7: For his part, the Governor of Indiana, Mike Brown says, quote,

370
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 7: the Chicago Bears recognize Indiana's pro business climate, and I'm

371
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 7: ready to work with them to build a new stadium

372
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 7: in northwest Indiana. This move would deliver a major economic boost,

373
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 7: create jobs, bring another premiere NFL franchise to the Hoosier State.

374
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: Let's get it done.

375
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 7: Having said all that, guys, what do you think the

376
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 7: actual percentages of the Bears moving to Northwest Indiana would be?

377
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: One percent? For me, I just feel like, first of all,

378
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 2: whatever planning th're out there, I think is a one

379
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: percent chance because none of it ever happens. So until

380
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: they actually put a shovel on the ground anywhere, I

381
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: won't believe any of their plan for whether it's building

382
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: in Indiana or Illinois. But I think the percentage is

383
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: very low. It's probably just a leverage play or it's

384
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: much much cheaper exactly to build it here.

385
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: Probably that in Chicago. Yeah right, I would think. So, well,

386
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: we'll see what James, if you.

387
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 8: Pulled you know, the average human up there in the

388
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 8: two one nine Bears or Colts fan what would you

389
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 8: say the percentage is bare?

390
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: Oh man, it's got to be like seventy percent, really higher. Yeah,

391
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 2: it's it's it's they treat like Chicago. Nobody up there

392
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: to yours for the Pacers or the cult central time

393
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 2: zone exactly.

394
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on it. One thing we do

395
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: know is set to happen.

396
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 7: I U is planning renovations for a brand new upgrade

397
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 7: at Memorial Stadium. They are asking fans for feedback at

398
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 7: this point in time. All good things for Indiana football

399
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 7: right now, Kevin, Everything's Roses Caleb.

400
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 8: Maybe at some point today we played that audio from

401
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 8: Tom Allen. I thought that was some interesting comments from

402
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 8: the former IU coach yesterday and you know, sharing his

403
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 8: thoughts on the success the program has had. And I

404
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 8: think you could take the comments in a couple of

405
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 8: different directions when you hear him. So I thought that

406
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 8: was interesting to maybe we can play that here.

407
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: All right, we've lost another football coach.

408
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 7: Ohio has fired coach Brian Smith for cause, saying, quote,

409
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 7: he was engaging in serious professional misconduct and participating in

410
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 7: activities that reflect unfavorably on the university.

411
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 1: Unquote.

412
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 7: This of course comes just a few days after the

413
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 7: Sharon Moore situation up at Michigan cost him his job

414
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 7: and he actually got arrested for violating a few laws.

415
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 7: But in the mean time, Bryan Smith says, I haven't

416
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 7: done anything wrong. Tell me what I've done wrong.

417
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. So there's probably more to come on

418
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: this one.

419
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 7: And Doug Gottlieb, the head basketball coach for Wisconsin green Bay,

420
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 7: says he's going to leave his radio show to focus

421
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 7: exclusively on the basketball job. He announced it last night

422
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 7: after Green bay sixty seven sixty four win over UC

423
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 7: Santa Barbara.

424
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: Last year they were four and twenty eight. They are

425
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: six and seven right now.

426
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 7: He says he thinks this group is special and they're

427
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 7: starting to build something with a young core here.

428
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: Boy.

429
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 8: I did not have Ohio Football and Doug Gottlieb updates

430
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 8: on my Bengo card.

431
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: I did not either, But I just thought in the

432
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: wake of the Sharon more thing that that was very interesting.

433
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 8: Great to hear from Matthew Graves yesterday with JMV. Sounds

434
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 8: like he will be back on the sidelines for Indiana State.

435
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 8: A little bit of an easing in process, I think

436
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 8: he told John yesterday. The Belmont game later this month

437
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 8: will be a game that he's kind of targeted, as

438
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 8: you know, being back to the full time head coach.

439
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 8: So again, I think it was a triple bypass if

440
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 8: I'm not mistaken for Matthew Graves back a few weeks

441
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 8: ago to see Yeah, great news and I enjoyed that

442
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 8: combo between those two yesterday.

443
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, go find it at one oh seven five thefan

00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 7: we were just talking about it in a minute ago.

468
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 7: It is Phil's balmy today, does it not? Based on

469
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 7: what we've had over the last week and a half

470
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 7: or two. It was pretty nice yesterday and I think

471
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 7: it's continuing today.

472
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 2: The slush galore?

473
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 4: Right?

474
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 2: Is there anything uglier than melting snow on the side

475
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: of a road?

476
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 4: No?

477
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: And right in front of our brand new building here.

478
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 7: Yes, I was walking in and as I was about

479
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 7: to step over onto the curb, James, right before I did,

480
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 7: one of the construction guys, very polite, said yeah, you

481
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 7: don't want to do that.

482
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: That's that's like a six inch hole. You're just gonna.

483
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 7: Bury your foot in water if you do that. So

484
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 7: everybody looking out for everybody over here?

485
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: Man? I like that.

486
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 2: Where were you walking right?

487
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: Right?

488
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 7: In front of the building right here yesterday when you

489
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 7: when you walked up to the little ramp, the guy said, yeah, it's.

490
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: Just a it's just a bunch of water right there.

491
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 2: So interested I didn't see that.

492
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: I just said you happily we got across the street

493
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: to get over. You can't just you know it was

494
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't James flow on the sidewalk.

495
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know me, I believe in Jesus, So

496
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: we told him, hey, you know, get me across that water.

497
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 9: Brother.

498
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 4: I like that.

499
00:20:58,880 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: What's it gonna take?

500
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 7: There were sideways glances on that. What's it going to

501
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 7: take for the Indianapolis Colts to come up with a

502
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 7: win against the San Francisco forty nine.

503
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 2: Ers downfield throws number one? I think they're gonna have

504
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 2: to be a little more aggressive in that category. Run

505
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 2: the ball very well, don't turn it over all of

506
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 2: a sudden they did against Seattle. But just what a

507
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 2: little bit more in my opinion, And can you contain

508
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 2: a guy like brock Party, who I think that he's

509
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 2: a little dangerous if you don't have the Forest Buckner

510
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 2: back in lineup. Hopefully he is for the Colt's sake,

511
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: But if he is not. How do you contain a

512
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 2: dude who can make plays and extend plays with his legs?

513
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was looking at this a little bit yesterday,

514
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 8: you know, Monday Show. We harped on this a lot.

515
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 8: The Colts only had two plays of over fifteen yards

516
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 8: in that game against Seattle. You know, I've called that

517
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 8: offense dinosaur like archaic, et cetera, et cetera. I went

518
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 8: back and looked at all the touchdown drives the Colts

519
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 8: had this season, and if you look at it, every

520
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 8: single drive but one, they've had a play of over

521
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 8: fifteen yards on those touchdown drives like it is. I mean, hell,

522
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 8: look at the one touchdown drive on Sunday, got a

523
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 8: chunk plays Silo Warren had a seventeen yard play.

524
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 10: Like.

525
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 8: It's just so hard in the NFL, I'd say football period,

526
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 8: but in particularly the NFL to grind out these, you know,

527
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 8: seventy yard touchdown drives when you're going four and three

528
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 8: and six, like, at some point you have a drop,

529
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 8: at some point, you have a penalty, at some point

530
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 8: you have.

531
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 2: A negative play and you have to recover from that.

532
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: So again, how do you create that? Is it? The

533
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 2: yards after catch.

534
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 8: You know, hey, here's my dunk to a mirabula like

535
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 8: he's Nahim Hines in twenty twenty and boom he takes

536
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 8: off for whatever thirteen or fourteen post catch. Is it

537
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 8: more of the double moves to Josh downs or does

538
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 8: an extra week of whatever rest recovery however you want

539
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 8: to describe it.

540
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 2: For Philip Rivers, is he able.

541
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 8: To find you know, Alec Pierson little bit more down

542
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 8: the field because you know, I probably sound like a

543
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 8: broken record with Pierce. I don't care who the quarterback is.

544
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 8: I take a shot to Pierce every quarter of every game.

545
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 2: He's that good of a west.

546
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: Let him go get it.

547
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 8: Either he catches it or they throw a flag seemingly

548
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 8: every time. And so if you did one of those

549
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 8: every quarter, boom, maybe he catches two of the four

550
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 8: and then they throw a flag on one of the

551
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 8: other two and the other one falls incomplete, and I'd

552
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 8: call that a pretty successful day. And trying to create

553
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 8: some chunk plays. Now, obviously with the River's arm, the

554
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 8: question becomes can you do it? And so yeah, that's

555
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 8: where I think so much of the blueprint, as James said,

556
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 8: has to look similar. But you just have to get

557
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 8: a little bit more in the chunk play department.

558
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 7: I'm going back and I know it was in complete

559
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 7: on that that kind of miscommunication with Josh Downs.

560
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: But off top of your head, James, how far downfield

561
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: was that throw?

562
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 2: Like?

563
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: How far did it go? Twenty yards?

564
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 7: Maybe the one the one to Josh Downs where it

565
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 7: double moved and ended up moving.

566
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: It just didn't pay off.

567
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 8: I don't know.

568
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I have to go back and look at it,

569
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 2: but yeah, let's call it twenty.

570
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: But they need more throws like that, right they're gonna have, Oh,

571
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: for sure.

572
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 2: I thought that was the one that they if they

573
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 2: connect on that, they win the game. Yeah, there's your

574
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 2: there's your big play, there's your explosive. And without explosive,

575
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 2: it's very hard to score touchdowns, in particular in the

576
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 2: NFL without that. I think Blake Groupy gave you some

577
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 2: confidence that you could feel like, hey, we get it

578
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 2: to whatever target line is somewhat reasonable. He can boot it,

579
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 2: especially indoors this time around this week. But yeah, you're

580
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 2: gonna need more than a couple of field goals to

581
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: beat the forty nine ers, that's for sure, James. How

582
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 2: much do you weigh I'm a book forty five. Last

583
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: my checked, I think one, yeah, five ten.

584
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 6: One five.

585
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 8: Special teams coordinator Brian Mason gave us the number of

586
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 8: one forty eight for Blake Groupy yesterday.

587
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: It's been working at.

588
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 8: One hundred and forty eight pounds. How many of those

589
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 8: pounds were in.

590
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 9: That sixty yarder?

591
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: All of it?

592
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 8: Man, that swing was something I didn't realize long as

593
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 8: kicking that stadium's history till Brian Mason said that yesterday.

594
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 2: I feel like Brian Mason teaches me something every time

595
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 2: we talk to him.

596
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: Oh, certainly every week.

597
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's extremely intelligent.

598
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 8: I think I've told the story befo or he was

599
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 8: at Notre Dame for an Earth Marcus Freeman and when

600
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 8: he left there to join Chane Stiking. I mean there

601
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 8: were people at Notre Dame like this is a massive loss.

602
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 8: Like Brian Mason has thought of very very highly in

603
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 8: the coaching world there.

604
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 2: So Blake Groopy shout out to him.

605
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 8: I know we did a little bit on Monday, and

606
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 8: I don't want to speak too much, but you could

607
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 8: have quite the kicker competition next year between him and

608
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 8: Spencer Trader.

609
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 2: I don't know.

610
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 8: Is it Spencer Trader's job like for good or I

611
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 8: think it depends on you. Tell me to shut up

612
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 8: and say who cares about a kicking competition on December

613
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 8: eighteenth or next year?

614
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 9: Kevin?

615
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 7: I think if Blake Groupy continues to hit from distance

616
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 7: and he continues to be accurate, how do you not.

617
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: Give him a chance to compete for the starting job

618
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: next year?

619
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 2: Good problem to have depth of kicker, it's been How

620
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 2: about that for the Colts?

621
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 7: It's been a while. G see, I saw a video

622
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 7: the other day Rigobert, not Rigabert C. Sanchez, but Rodrigo Blankenship.

623
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 7: He's still out there making videos kicking sixty five yarders,

624
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 7: hoping people will give him a chance again.

625
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 2: We can move on to the next topic with the Colts.

626
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that before it popped up.

627
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 2: And in trusts me, they don't want to see it either.

628
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 8: I do feel this way about you know, we talked about, Okay,

629
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 8: you know, what can they do to beat San Francisco?

630
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 8: I do think San Francisco's got some chinks in the armor,

631
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 8: if you will, I mean there are some question marks

632
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 8: defensively with them.

633
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 2: First off, they are riddled with injuries.

634
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 8: I mean they have had much worse injury locked than

635
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 8: the Colts of the season, which is saying something.

636
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: Almost like every year.

637
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 8: It feels like every two I mean, Nick Bosey still

638
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 8: get to the playoffs, I mean pretty mismissed over half

639
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 8: the season. George Kittles missed five games, Nick Bosa tears

640
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 8: ACL in Week three. Fred Warner season Indian injury in

641
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,959
Speaker 8: weeks you hasn't even played right. The wide oppositions had

642
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 8: the EYU drama and then they've been hurt. Ricky Piersoll

643
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 8: sounds like he's up in the air for this week.

644
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 8: The one dude they do have is that running back

645
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 8: and calling him just a running back is unfair. I

646
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 8: don't know if you've ever felt this way, James, but

647
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 8: one thing I've enjoyed about the joint practices the Colts

648
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 8: have done here over the last hell seemingly decked a

649
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 8: grand park, is we are so up close and personal, Like,

650
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 8: I mean, we are right there, We are within what

651
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 8: five yards from watching. Obviously the Colts practice, but also

652
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 8: their opponents and in particular the running back drills are

653
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 8: always right near where we stand, and honestly, fans have

654
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 8: the same view that we do. I mean, fans are

655
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,479
Speaker 8: right behind us. I know I say this every year

656
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 8: around training camp. I think the Grand Park experience is

657
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 8: unbelievable from an access standpoint. I don't know how to

658
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 8: necessarily describe it or maybe qualify it, but I have

659
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 8: never seen a football player move like Christian McCaffrey when

660
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 8: he came from the joint practice with the Carolina Panthers,

661
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 8: so this would have been, you know whatever, a handful

662
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 8: of years ago.

663
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 2: At this point, I have never.

664
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 8: Seen the dude have the fluidity, the speed, the lateral

665
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 8: change of direction, the ease at which he catches the football.

666
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 8: I mean, it was breathtaking to watch. And again you

667
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 8: watch him and then his other running backs go through

668
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 8: these drills, and it stood out to you like none other.

669
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 8: Or what's the Colts go through their you know, pass

670
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 8: catching drills. I mean, obviously I'm not breaking any news here.

671
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 8: He is just a special, special talent and he touches

672
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 8: the football as much as anybody does.

673
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: It does roun in the NFL for his team.

674
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 8: So tackling mister McCaffrey in space a premium premium on

675
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 8: Monday night, I do get a little sweaty thinking about

676
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 8: Christian McCaffrey in the open field against some of these

677
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 8: Colts defenders.

678
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you go back to his days at Stanford

679
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 7: when I think he was second or third in the

680
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 7: Heisman Trophy, maybe both years the last two years that

681
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 7: he played.

682
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: But all purpose man.

683
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 7: Unbelievable kick returner, unbelievable punt returner, almost a wide receiver

684
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 7: and a running back's body, and then the ability for

685
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 7: him to pick up short yards too. He's a lot

686
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 7: like JOHNN Taylor. Those legs just never stop moving James,

687
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 7: they just keep going forward.

688
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 2: A special player man. Honestly, he's somebody I could totally

689
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: see winning the Offensive Player of the Year. He probably

690
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 2: is in that conversation along with Jonathan Taylor and Jackson

691
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 2: Smith and Jig Buy out there in Seattle. But let's

692
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 2: not underrate what this guy's doing. I think he's on

693
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 2: pace for a thousand rushing yards and a thousand receiving yards,

694
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 2: which is in and of itself pretty productive.

695
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 8: Well, and it's kind of wild too. We talked about

696
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 8: all the forty nine ers injuries and he's been healthy.

697
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: He's one yea with it.

698
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 8: And if Mark was here, he'd want me to say

699
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 8: not only is Christian McCaffrey successful on the field, but

700
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 8: he's successful off of it.

701
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: That is true. Do you mean by that, Kevin, it's

702
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: a successful guy. That's it.

703
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 2: I'll let the dead air sit. Uh, let me ask

704
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 2: you guys a question too. Caleb's nodding his head through.

705
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: Ye Ca n Cale.

706
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 5: We all know.

707
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Caleb knows.

708
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 7: His dad was a pretty good football player too, Edward,

709
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 7: and also was successful.

710
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 2: I might add, did you have a brother get a

711
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: cup of coffee in the NFL? Or am I imagining something?

712
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 7: I think Christian has a brother that's in the league

713
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 7: right now with Washing I think the white out. I

714
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 7: think he's a white out with the Commanders. Yeah, Luke

715
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 7: is it Luke? Luke McCaffrey. Yeah, A question for you

716
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 7: guys too. When you look at the first half of

717
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 7: that game in Seattle last week, Max McCaffrey, I think

718
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 7: Max is the brother of Bed. I think, well, Luke,

719
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 7: you know I'm seeing Luke as well.

720
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Luke is with the Commanders.

721
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 2: Okay, got you.

722
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 8: I got to get a Max Bowen A'm Max McCaffrey Jersey.

723
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 8: That's the case here, But Santa to get back in

724
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 8: the shop.

725
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 7: You look at the first half against Seattle. Why were

726
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 7: they able to create pressure on the quarterback. It's something

727
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 7: that they've really struggled to do. But in that first

728
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 7: half against Seattle, they were doing a pretty good job

729
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 7: of harassing Sam Darnold and getting to him and touching him.

730
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: Can they do that again? What was going on there

731
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: that they saw for two quarters?

732
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 2: I have to go back and look at it.

733
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 7: I just saw that they finally. Honestly, I think it

734
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 7: was about winning one on one matchups. They pressured well

735
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 7: in the first half of that game, not so much

736
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 7: in the second half of the game. But that was

737
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 7: one of the reasons in the first half that I

738
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 7: think they held Seattle to field goals. They were doing

739
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 7: a pretty decent job of rushing the passer, which is

740
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 7: not something we've seen a lot of this year.

741
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 8: I think all their tackles for lost are in the

742
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 8: first half, though that was an issue there in the

743
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 8: second half. Is I want to say Seattle end of

744
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 8: the game. I think five of their final six drives

745
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 8: or scoring drives. James I did want to bring this up,

746
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 8: and you know, Caleb, maybe we can get to that.

747
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 8: Tom Allen audio coming up in the eight o'clock hour.

748
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 8: I thought his comments on where Indiana's at as a

749
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 8: football program we're interesting yesterday.

750
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 2: I think they could be maybe.

751
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 8: Interpreted in a couple different ways. But James, I was

752
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 8: listening to Dane Brugler, your colleague over at the Athletic

753
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 8: who we have had on the show before. He's always

754
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 8: gracious with his time and talking about the NFL draft,

755
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 8: and he was had an overview of the.

756
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 2: Twelve playoff teams. We'll get things started tomorrow night.

757
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 8: Alabama Oklahoma will be the first playoff game, so that'll

758
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 8: get started. Indiana will find out their opponent whatever, come

759
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 8: midnight tomorrow. But he was going over the draft prospects

760
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 8: for these teams, said, Ohio State once again, we'll have

761
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 8: the most draft picks. He thought Texas A and M

762
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 8: probably was two, and then he had Indiana as three.

763
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 8: And I was really struck by that. Like, we know

764
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 8: Indiana's a great football team, obviously, like we've seen the

765
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,239
Speaker 8: season play out, but you know this full well. It's

766
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 8: a different world being a good college football team and

767
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 8: also having the good draft prospects. That doesn't always correlate.

768
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 8: It's not always like a guarantee. Certainly some years it is,

769
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 8: But to have that statement there, that was that really

770
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 8: stood out to me. You know, I think we can,

771
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 8: you know, pick out obviously several drafted Indiana players here

772
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 8: coming up in April, but to have them be the

773
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 8: third team over Georgia, over Miami, over Notre Dame, Texas,

774
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 8: you know, all these teams that you know you would

775
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 8: put into that group. Boy, that's because I think that's

776
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:50,239
Speaker 8: important too, in pitching yourself to portal guys and two

777
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 8: high school recruits. Of course, of hey, we're not just

778
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 8: winning on the field, but you know that goal of

779
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 8: playing on Sundays boom. Here's eight guys drafted in the

780
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 8: year twenty twenty five, twenty six.

781
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 7: Fifteen IU players mentioned in the NFL draftiars as potential

782
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 7: NFL draftees.

783
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: Fifteen from Indiana. That's insane.

784
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 2: And again some of them most I would say most

785
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 2: of them probably din'tven start their career at Indiana. So

786
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 2: this speaks to Signetti's ability to recruit and honestly help

787
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 2: you adjust and grow as a player. Because even Fernando Mendoza,

788
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: he probably was a draftaball player after he left cal

789
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 2: but to now go from that to being a potential

790
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 2: number one pick that should be enticing for a lot

791
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 2: of quarterbacks. I think it's because you can look at

792
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: kurzyn Eddy and say, man, look what he's done with

793
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 2: the last two quarterbacks he's had. And again I thought

794
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 2: that it will kind of be big shoes for Fernando

795
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 2: to fill Curtis work because I thought Curtis had a

796
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 2: really good season. Anytime you have an NFL caliber quarterback

797
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 2: in college, I don't want to take it for granted.

798
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 2: And I thought that he was a fine player, especially

799
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 2: for somebody who played on a torn acl But yeah,

800
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 2: you went out and upgraded and helped you know, the

801
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 2: new guy, the nerdy guys. He said on sixty minutes,

802
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: get over the top there, Curtis Roorke, forty nine er,

803
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 2: coming back home, Coming back home.

804
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 9: Yeah.

805
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 2: I think the statement game he's gonna said this went out.

806
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: Brother.

807
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 8: I think the plan for Rourke this year, Remember he

808
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 8: announced the towny cl after the season, and so I

809
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 8: think what San Francisco has done is they have opened

810
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 8: up that twenty one day practice window for him, which

811
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 8: we've talked a lot about here within Anthony Richardson's senior

812
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,439
Speaker 8: and the hope is or The thought there is Rourke

813
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 8: can now practice in the regular season, but then again

814
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 8: once that twenty one day window plays out, he will

815
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 8: then stay on injured reserve. So you know he's the

816
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 8: third quarterback. I guess if you want to rank him

817
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 8: rock perty mac Jones. I think they just signed Adrian

818
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 8: Martinez yesterday as well. So uh yeah, Curtis Rourke getting

819
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 8: a little bit of a opportunity practice wise, and then

820
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 8: he'll be full go. It sounds like coming up next year.

821
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 8: I think they spend a seventh round pick on him,

822
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 8: if I'm not mistaken, I.

823
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: Think that sounds right. It was like pick, but it

824
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: was nice for him to get drafted.

825
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 7: They got Mendoza as a first round pick, the only

826
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 7: one there, and then they're projecting in the second round

827
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 7: Carter Smith the tackle, Omar Cooper junior in round three,

828
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 7: senior receiver, Elijah Sarat cornerback de Angelo Pond So I

829
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 7: think it's terrific, Amari Ferrell the junior safety, and then

830
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 7: the rest of them, Aidan Fisher, Terry Tucker, Pat Coogan,

831
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 7: Michael Kamara, Roman Hemby, Kaylin Black, Riley Nowakowski, Stephen Daley,

832
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 7: and Khalil Benson think of that, fifteen guys from the

833
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 7: Indiana Hoosiers could potentially be drafted.

834
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 2: We'll see if it happens in April. CG.

835
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 8: Wes, by the way, also on the forty nine ers roster.

836
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 8: He gets a little bit of clock here for San Francisco.

837
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 7: Looking forward to that, and then later on tonight at

838
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 7: the Fieldhouse the Pacers back at home, they'll be taking

839
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 7: on the New York Knickerbockers. They had a nice little

840
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 7: run going there where they'd won four of six, and

841
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 7: now James, they've lost four of six. Was it more

842
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 7: competition or did things just start going differently for the Pacers?

843
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: Do you think in the difference between those two recent runs.

844
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 2: Well, they haven't really played a lot of great teams

845
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 2: as of late. You know, they beat Chicago, who stinks,

846
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 2: They beat the Kings, who always think, lost to Philadelphia

847
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 2: who was weird this year, and then got blown out

848
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 2: by a terrible team in Washington who is trying to

849
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 2: lose this year.

850
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 9: So I don't know.

851
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, as the great Bob Kravitz

852
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 2: always tells me, water find its level.

853
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 7: Well, we'll see what they do against the Knicks tonight,

854
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 7: and you know, things change so quickly.

855
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: Obviously, we've seen it all.

856
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 7: Evolve with Tyree's getting hurt in Game seven and then

857
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 7: the departure of Miles Turner and obviously is a completely

858
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 7: different team. And then you throw in all the injuries

859
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 7: that happened early for them. It's almost hard to imagine

860
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 7: that these two teams, just the intensity and the I

861
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 7: don't know if there's a better word than spirited. Back

862
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 7: to back series they played in the playoffs the last

863
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 7: two years, which Pacers came out on top. But man,

864
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 7: it's gonna it's just gonna feel different. It's felt different

865
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 7: all year long. But even the Knicks are a little

866
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 7: bit down, as you were saying earlier, Kevin, even they're

867
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 7: not coming with their best lineup.

868
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 8: Probably Yeah, so Jalen Bruns and Michale Bridges sounds like

869
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 8: they will play, but several of the other guys listed

870
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 8: as questionable for this game Towns and Mitchell Robinson and

871
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 8: Josh Hart and og and and Obi. So again, they

872
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 8: won the NBA Cup on Tuesday night in Vegas. I

873
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 8: would venture to guess they saw the wee hours of

874
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 8: the morning, So we'll see what their availability looks like.

875
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 8: Pacers schedule pretty difficult here to close out the calendar year.

876
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 8: Doesn't sound like the returns of Aaron E. Smith and

877
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 8: Ben Shepherd are eminet by any means.

878
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 5: One thing.

879
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 8: I was looking back on the Pacers this weekend. They

880
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 8: lost the Sixers on Friday. Joel Embiid has not been

881
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 8: Joel Andbie this season. He was certainly that against the Pacers.

882
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 8: I believe Jokic, of all the thirty teams in the

883
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 8: NFL or NBA, I guess twenty nine other NBA teams,

884
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 8: no team he averages more points against than the Pacers.

885
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 2: Embiid.

886
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 8: I believe the Pacers rank second on that list. So again,

887
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 8: of the twenty nine other NBA teams, Jokic, nobody he

888
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 8: scores more against than the Pacers. For Embiid, it is

889
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 8: second on that list. Is that just a Miles Turner

890
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 8: sat I.

891
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 7: Used to think that because there were also some some

892
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 7: like one off ones like I remember, just some random

893
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 7: centers that would always play well against him, and then

894
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 7: he'd play exceptionally well against other guys.

895
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 8: We're looking for Miles Turner amo as he returns to

896
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 8: the old Yeah, he's coming back Gambridgefield House coming up

897
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 8: on the twenty Monday.

898
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: Or Tuesday, Tuesday the twenty five?

899
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 8: Is that unfairness to blame all that on Turner? I

900
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 8: mean he has been the Pacers center for obviously.

901
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: I don't know every time it's fast.

902
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 2: Majority of those matchups.

903
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 7: Felt like every time Andre Drummond came to town, he'd

904
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 7: dropped like twenty ringbounds.

905
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 8: Yeah, the Drummon highlight reels probably half a Turner.

906
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 2: It's like the Trevor Lawrence highlight reels half the Colts.

907
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 7: Do you think it was just Miles having trouble with quicker,

908
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 7: more athletic guys.

909
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 2: Sometimes, Why I wouldn't call you go quick and athletic.

910
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: No, but he's a different cat altogether.

911
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 8: Well, sure, but again, why is it the best of

912
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 8: any team against the Pacers?

913
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 2: Why is it like the tenth best?

914
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good question. We've got Jay Huff. Now

915
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: see what happens. Let's roll.

916
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,959
Speaker 7: Actually like what I like what Jay Huff has brought.

917
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 7: I think he's done what he has been expected to

918
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 7: do so far, don't you think?

919
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 2: James for the most part. But yeah, they were always

920
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 2: going to take a step back with al Miles Turner

921
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 2: at center this year. I was obvious.

922
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, so that's coming up on Tuesday, when Miles Turner returns.

923
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,479
Speaker 7: But tonight over at the field House, they'll be taking

924
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 7: on the New York Knicks fresh off that NBA Cup,

925
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 7: and as Kevin said, hopefully they've got a little hangover

926
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 7: effect and some guy's been nursing injuries.

927
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: Maybe tonight's tonight that they take that off.

928
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 7: And you talked about the difficult and schedule coming up too.

929
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 7: After they play at New Orleans on Saturday, it's Boston,

930
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 7: then the return of Milwaukee, then it's home against Boston again,

931
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 7: then at Miami at Houston, and then Orlando comes in

932
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 7: along with San Antonio and those teams. Orlando and San

933
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 7: Antonio clearly no joke these days. Orlando is really coming forward.

934
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 7: So it'll be fun to see how this NBA game

935
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 7: a season plays out and see what do you think

936
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 7: is the most likely? Is you look long term now

937
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 7: at the Pacers, I mean wins, What would you say

938
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 7: the over under for wins is right now?

939
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 2: Dear Lord.

940
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 8: Caleb, You're gonna have to look that up. What have

941
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 8: they got six right now?

942
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: Yep?

943
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 2: Twenty six? I'm serious, like six and twenty would play

944
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 2: right now?

945
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 8: Six and what six and twenty right now, so twenty

946
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 8: six of what so you got fifty six to go.

947
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. They go twenty and thirty six

948
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 2: the rest of the way. Boy, part of me thinks

949
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 2: that's generous.

950
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 8: I mean, at some point, do you get in shutdown

951
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 8: mode with any of these guys you I think that

952
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 8: would be like Isobe Topping gonna put on Pacers uniform

953
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 8: this year?

954
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 2: That's probably a conversation worth having, fair question to consider

955
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 2: the injuries coming off of You.

956
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 8: Know, there's part of me that thinks, Okay, if Sheppard

957
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 8: gets back to the end of the month, if Nie

958
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 8: Smith gets back at the end of the month, do

959
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 8: they do one last ditch thing in January?

960
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 2: I don't no.

961
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 8: I mean you might have the standings in front of you.

962
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 8: I like, how far are they out of the play in?

963
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 8: That's crazy, that sounds what you got, Caleb.

964
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 3: Sorry, turn on the wrong microphone, new studio, still getting

965
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 3: used to it. Sorry, over under, I'm seen right now.

966
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 3: Twenty three and a half. Oh my gosh, boy, I

967
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 3: don't know, man, I mean a loosen to the Wizards

968
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 3: by how much?

969
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 8: Yeah, Sunday was the worst. Sunday was the worst. Forty

970
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 8: eight minute after of the season, so that I.

971
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 3: Don't know if you can't even you know, beat the

972
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 3: bad teams and make your hay there, which there's a

973
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 3: lot of them in the East. Let me let me

974
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 3: be clear, if you can't even do that consistently, a

975
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 3: twenty three and a half seems like a tall task you.

976
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 8: Want to get just to remind everybody, the lottery odds

977
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 8: they don't change for the first four, or I should say,

978
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 8: for the worst four. So you know, if there are

979
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 8: people out there that are like, man, whatever, I've got

980
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 8: a six game season ticket package or something like that,

981
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 8: I'm not just going there to root for loss. Is

982
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 8: you know, an occasional win or two won't decimate you

983
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 8: from an odds standpoint.

984
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 2: I mean, how well were Dallas's odds last year when

985
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 2: they got Old Cooper.

986
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 8: So it's not, as you know whatever, forty percent for

987
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 8: the team that has the worst record and you know,

988
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 8: three percent for the team that has the six worst record.

989
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 2: It's a little bit more balanced in that realm.

990
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,479
Speaker 8: But boy, now that I said twenty six out loud,

991
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 8: I don't know, I make us clearly.

992
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 7: I see ten teams right now that are that have

993
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 7: crazy long odds to win an NBA Finals ten teams

994
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 7: right now, Fandel has listed at one hundred thousand to one.

995
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: The Pacers are one of those teams. Do you just

996
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: put down a dollar just Cauz.

997
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 3: No, No, you could go by yourself like a large

998
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 3: drink at local gas station where you.

999
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 9: Get a larger dollar these days.

1000
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 7: Like come on now, all right, coming up at a minute,

1001
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 7: we'll talk more about the Colts getting ready for the

1002
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 7: San Francisco forty nine Ers. Later on, we'll have Fad Mada,

1003
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 7: the head basketball coach for Butler, off to a n

1004
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 7: I start this season as always. Scott Agnes joins us

1005
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 7: at nine. At nine thirty, Jason Hammer, Well, that's cam

1006
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 7: about odds. A little bit later on, it's all right

1007
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 7: here ninety three five and one oh seven five the Fan.

1008
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 6: You were listening to a fan morning show on sports

1009
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 6: Radio ninety three to five and one oh seven.

1010
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 7: Five the Fan, Good morning, Caleb, nice job getting us

1011
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 7: in and out of breaks today, doing a good job

1012
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 7: filling in for Mark Dyton, who is already shoveling snow

1013
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 7: and pruning trees and doing all kinds of things that

1014
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 7: the Governor's mansion so you can get the Bears to

1015
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:33,720
Speaker 7: Northwest Indiana.

1016
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: James, he's fired up, Let's go.

1017
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be something?

1018
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 7: Can you imagine just, you know, stop in Merylville fifteen

1019
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 7: minutes before you go to the stadium, something like that.

1020
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: That would be nuts.

1021
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 7: It is a balmy forty four degrees outside right now.

1022
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 7: Compared to what has been like over the last couple

1023
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 7: of weeks, it was fairly nice yesterday. Sun's peeking up

1024
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 7: over the horizon and we are day closer to Monday

1025
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 7: Night football. The San Francisco forty nine ers coming to

1026
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 7: and look San Francisco somehow, some way through all their

1027
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 7: injuries and everything else, and.

1028
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: You've talked about this coming.

1029
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 9: They're ten and four.

1030
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: They just keep winning football games, finding ways to win

1031
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: football games. They just do.

1032
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 7: Doesn't matter which of their receivers has banged up. I

1033
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 7: know that they haven't had their They've they've played a

1034
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 7: couple of quarterbacks this year. They haven't had their maybe

1035
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 7: their best wide receiver all year long. They've had season

1036
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 7: ending injuries to big players on defense and Kyle Shanahan

1037
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 7: of that group, they just kind of keep ticking off wins.

1038
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's beyond impressive. It's Coach of the Year worthy

1039
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 8: easily for Kyle Shanahan. And how decimated they've been from

1040
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 8: an injury standpoint, you know, even like George Kittles miss

1041
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 8: five games. I mean that's you know, a really notable injury.

1042
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 8: In five games is a substantial amount of time. Speaking

1043
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,399
Speaker 8: of Monday Night football, I believe in Caleb go ahead

1044
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 8: confirmed this, Mark said Joe Buck.

1045
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 2: Monday at nine day, Monday at nine o'clock. Joe Buck.

1046
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 8: I know Mark has been efforting that for quite a while.

1047
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 8: We honestly thought more from an IU football point of view.

1048
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 8: If anybody wants this is Monday Night football. Joe Buck

1049
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 8: loves to needle Troy Aikman a little bit on the

1050
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 8: Indiana football aspect of things.

1051
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 2: So looking forward to that day of the game, we'll

1052
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 2: have Joe Buck joining us here on a Monday, So

1053
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 2: really looking forward to that.

1054
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:15,800
Speaker 7: Nick says he wants to disagree with the percentage of

1055
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 7: Colts fans up there. Said, there's a chunk of us

1056
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 7: that are season ticket holders and quite a few Colts

1057
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 7: oriented bars. Yes, I live in Gary right off the

1058
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 7: twelfth and Broadway. I can send you pictures of shell

1059
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 7: casings on the sidewalk out front sometime this week if

1060
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 7: you'd like just to prove that he lives there. I

1061
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 7: guess a little rougher sometimes, little rough there sometimes.

1062
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably not a route I want to go down.

1063
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, I would say that, you know, maybe there

1064
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 2: are more fans up there. But as far as the

1065
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 2: other statement, I'll leave that alone.

1066
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, two seventy number to call if you want to

1067
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 7: get in or text in. And I just I can't help,

1068
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 7: but wonder I know all the things that it makes,

1069
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 7: all the sense in the world of the things are

1070
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 7: telling me about Anthony Richardson. Would the Colts prefer if

1071
00:45:54,560 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 7: he never plays a snap again for the Indianapolis Colts? No, wait,

1072
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 7: that was the question, Anthony read.

1073
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my question.

1074
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, you drafted him forth overall, you want

1075
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 2: to see him play for as long as he's on

1076
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 2: your roster. I would think that if he becomes healthy,

1077
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 2: even if within the next week or so, that should

1078
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 2: be a conversation. Should we get this guy out there

1079
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 2: to see what we have, especially as you go into

1080
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 2: an offseason where your quarterback position is in flux and

1081
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 2: it's kind of up in the air. I know that

1082
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 2: the assumption is that Daniel Jones will be brought back,

1083
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 2: which that doesn't surprise me too much, but we also

1084
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 2: don't know what he's gonna look like coming off in

1085
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 2: achilles tear. So yeah, you definitely want to take a

1086
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 2: look at the guy. And unfortunately, like I wrote yesterday

1087
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 2: in The Athletic, it's just he was supposed to get

1088
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 2: an opportunity and it didn't happen because of the freak

1089
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 2: accident to his eye. And what's funny is having this

1090
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 2: conversation with a lot of the fans, they're like, well,

1091
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, they might have still gone out and

1092
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 2: got Rivers. No, they would not have. Like, let's clear

1093
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 2: this up. He was QB two from the start of

1094
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 2: the season, so if he had stayed with the roster

1095
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 2: and not gotten injured, the moment Daniel Jones goes down,

1096
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 2: we're not talking about Riley Leonard and we're definitely talking

1097
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 2: about Philip Rivers. We're talking about Anthony Richison going back

1098
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 2: into the team, into the lineup and having a chance

1099
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 2: to possibly redeem himself after everything he's kind of been

1100
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 2: through with the franchise. So yeah, I think it's only

1101
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 2: a debate now because it's coming off the injury and

1102
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,399
Speaker 2: Rivers is here now and he started. But to act

1103
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 2: like that would have been a serious conversation or debate

1104
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 2: if Richards had been healthy all along is asinin.

1105
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 8: So go back to the question you asked to start

1106
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 8: off the show in regard to Richardson versus Rivers.

1107
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've heard this from a lot of people

1108
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: the last couple of days. It's why I bring it up.

1109
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 7: People were wondering and not probably recognizing the seriousness of

1110
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 7: the facial bone injury. They're like, how can Philip Rivers

1111
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 7: be out of football for five years, come in on

1112
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 7: three days practice and start and yet the coaching staff

1113
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 7: says Anthony Richard needs a ramp up period.

1114
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 8: Yes, that question was poised posed to Shane Second on

1115
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 8: Monday Caleb Goudd and cue that audio up.

1116
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 11: Well, I think obviously he's coming back off an injury,

1117
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 11: and you know, Philip obviously was not injured, but obviously

1118
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 11: was on the layoff. You know that was the difference

1119
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 11: right there, simple as that.

1120
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 2: So we talked about this on Monday.

1121
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 8: There's nothing that I feel more uneducated about than talking

1122
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 8: about player injuries, and like the recovery process I think

1123
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 8: it's a great job. Jake, you know has done this.

1124
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 8: I know here over the last few weeks, few months.

1125
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 8: Maybe you know Ralph Reef's terrific. He's had him on

1126
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 8: and you know, it just gives a little bit of

1127
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 8: an understanding of Okay, you know what do some of

1128
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 8: these injuries mean? Now, again, you still don't know the

1129
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,720
Speaker 8: full story. So what I know about the Anthony Richardson

1130
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 8: orbital fracture was it was a gruesome injury. I've labeled

1131
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 8: it quite often. This is not a football injury. This

1132
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 8: is a human injury. This was an injury that impacted

1133
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 8: his life, his vision more than anything. And I assume

1134
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 8: an orbital fracture around the eye that's impacting vision, I'd

1135
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 8: venture to guess your physical activity couldn't.

1136
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 2: Be very much.

1137
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: No, they wanted to move at all while it heals.

1138
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:08,280
Speaker 8: So and then not to mention it gets into Now, okay,

1139
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 8: how do you view practice. Let's say he does get

1140
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 8: cleared to practice today, if he's not part of the

1141
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 8: plan for Monday, why would you give him more than

1142
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 8: what a handful of quarterback reps in today's practice? You

1143
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 8: need to get Philip Rivers ready. Obviously, with the storrying

1144
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 8: offense right, and Riley Leonard is one play away, So

1145
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 8: Riley Leonard needs to get the scout team reps going

1146
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 8: against the first team defense. So I think that's another

1147
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 8: hurdle you have in this process. And I'm speaking more

1148
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,760
Speaker 8: from the cult side of it. If and when Richardson

1149
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:39,800
Speaker 8: is cleared and healthy and good to go, yes, I

1150
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:40,760
Speaker 8: think you should be playing.

1151
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 2: But knowing doubt, Shane psychin operates.

1152
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 8: I do not see them all of a sudden saying ah,

1153
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 8: Anthony's back, here's thirty practice reps because we feel like

1154
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 8: you're going to play week seventeen or week eighteen.

1155
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 2: Like, I think this is a good point.

1156
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 8: I think this is Philip Rivers' job at least through Jacksonville. Now,

1157
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,720
Speaker 8: if they were eliminated, maybe week eighteen would look different,

1158
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 8: But yeah, I assume this is Philip Rivers's job for

1159
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 8: at least two more games.

1160
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 7: I bring that up because honestly, I've had maybe half

1161
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 7: a dozen people ask me that question in the last

1162
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 7: thirty six hours, and I think the explanation from Shane

1163
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 7: on Monday, a lot of people didn't hear that, And

1164
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 7: what you guys talk about today, I get it. And

1165
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 7: then then the follow up question for a lot of

1166
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 7: people is are these the three quarterbacks the Cults will

1167
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 7: have on the roster of the beginning of next year

1168
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 7: as Daniel Jones works his way back, Anthony Richardson and

1169
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 7: Riley Leonard? Are those your two quarterbacks to start this seasons?

1170
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 7: As Jones does start.

1171
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:36,879
Speaker 1: To get back, I'm not sure.

1172
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 2: I guess his timeline would suggest that he could be

1173
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 2: available by week one, So we'll see how that goes

1174
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 2: throughout the offseason. But for now, just looking at the

1175
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 2: next couple of weeks, I understand everything you said, Kevin

1176
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 2: about you know, I think Phillips has sorted for the

1177
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 2: next two games. I think it's one game. Really yeah,

1178
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 2: I think I think we'll put it like this. I

1179
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 2: think it should be one game.

1180
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, I mean that's that's a different answer again

1181
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 8: speaking from how I think Shane's stiking.

1182
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 2: Okay, But here's the thing though, even if Shane and

1183
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 2: we know he loves Philip Rivers, and I don't fault

1184
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 2: him necessarily for thinking outside the box and going to

1185
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,240
Speaker 2: get the guy who could be a Hall of Famer

1186
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 2: someday to come back and run your offense, but if

1187
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 2: he comes out and he looks just as limited, if

1188
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 2: not more against the forty nine ers and they lose again.

1189
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 2: And let's say Richardson practices this week, and he practices

1190
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 2: next week, and he has two weeks of practice going

1191
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 2: into the game against the Jaguars. It should be a conversation.

1192
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 2: Absolutely in my opinion, I don't think you should. Just

1193
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,919
Speaker 2: you know, we're coming out next Tuesday after that game,

1194
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 2: and he's telling us right off the bat Rivers is

1195
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 2: our starter. Wa wait, I agree with you, but we're

1196
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 2: talking about Shane Stiking. This is true, and that's where

1197
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 2: I have to pause.

1198
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 8: Like, that's where I don't again, I am with you

1199
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 8: on what I think they should do, particularly as you

1200
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 8: laid out, if it's as limited as it looks. You know,

1201
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 8: I don't know if this is the best analogy, but

1202
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 8: when I watched Philip Rivers play quarterback on Sunday, and

1203
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 8: you guys will probably just say, oh, of course, this.

1204
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 9: Is what you thought.

1205
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,439
Speaker 2: I feel like I was watching Tiger Woods play golf

1206
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 2: in the year of twenty twenty five. Okay, when you

1207
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 2: added on that last caveat, I was like, okay, wait

1208
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 2: a second here, Like.

1209
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 8: There's the nostalgia. There's the coolness, you know, James, your colleagues,

1210
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 8: Zach Kiefer had it yesterday. It's the most watched CBS

1211
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 8: game then market in five years for the colts, like,

1212
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 8: et cetera, et cetera.

1213
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 2: It's a movie, but it also.

1214
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 8: At times makes you want to be like, damn, that

1215
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 8: movie isn't the most uplifting movie. Throughout the entire sixty

1216
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 8: minutes of it, Tiger can have three four hoole stretches

1217
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 8: where it's like, look at that he's turned.

1218
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 2: Back the clock. Did you see the fist pump?

1219
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 8: It kind of looked a little awkward, kind of like

1220
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 8: Philip Rivers celebrating a touchdown pass to Josh Downs Like,

1221
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 8: to me, I'm watching it, and those are the vibes

1222
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 8: I get of like you might have around where Tiger, Wow,

1223
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 8: he shot seventy you today? Well, then Tomorley wakes up

1224
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 8: and the back starts up and he shoots seventy eight

1225
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 8: and he's done. And I don't see twenty nineteen Masters

1226
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 8: showing up for Philip Rivers. I guess to continue the

1227
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 8: analogy further, Yeah, and I just.

1228
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 1: Want to put it. I got caught up in Sunday.

1229
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:12,839
Speaker 1: That was fun.

1230
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 7: They had the lead, it looked, especially when they hit

1231
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 7: that field go, I'm like my wife and I are like,

1232
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 7: are they gonna win a football game on the road

1233
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 7: in Seattle with Philip Rivers as the quarterback? And then

1234
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 7: of course the kickoff and the defense, and we get

1235
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 7: all that, But then when you look back at it

1236
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 7: and you look at just even the box score, as

1237
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 7: great as the feeling was, and maybe maybe it did

1238
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 7: inject a little bit of life into the entire team

1239
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 7: to do something. They're swinging for the fences, they're doing

1240
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 7: something to get it going. But two hundred and fifteen

1241
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 7: yards of total offense is beyond pathetic heaven not sustainable.

1242
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, if you did that for seventeen weeks,

1243
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 8: you'd be drafting for Nandal Mendozo.

1244
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,240
Speaker 2: And wouldn't that be something, wouldn't that be quite the pivot?

1245
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 2: But you actually would not be drafting him because you

1246
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 2: don't have any first round picks here.

1247
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: So here's the scary part though, too.

1248
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 7: And honestly, you know, defense is going to have to

1249
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,800
Speaker 7: come and play, and we need some improvement for Philip

1250
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 7: getting it downfield or whatever. But this team is in

1251
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,359
Speaker 7: real danger of losing out and going from a seven

1252
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,399
Speaker 7: to one start to finish an eight to nine.

1253
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:17,840
Speaker 1: How crazy is that?

1254
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 2: Can I ask you guys a question real quick?

1255
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 3: I going back to this conversation with Anthony and Philip,

1256
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 3: I guess when I look around the league, and especially

1257
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 3: it's kind of timely with Kyle Shanahan coming in. I've

1258
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 3: seen him have Nick Mullins come in and win a game.

1259
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 3: I've seen him win games with Mac Jones. I think

1260
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 3: Sam Darnold won a couple games off the bench when

1261
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 3: party was hurt. Jimmy g and I understand Shane Steichen's thing,

1262
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,320
Speaker 3: like I got to get somebody that can run my system.

1263
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 3: But i've all seen Sean McVay bring in Baker Mayfield

1264
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 3: for a Thursday night game with two practices, really walk

1265
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 3: throughs and win a game. And I don't what I

1266
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 3: don't stand And maybe you guys can answer this is

1267
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 3: what is the importance of, Hey, I need to have

1268
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 3: somebody to run my system rather than how can we

1269
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 3: throw something together to aid whoever's gonna play the quarterback

1270
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 3: that week?

1271
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 10: Like?

1272
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:17,359
Speaker 2: And that's maybe that's an.

1273
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 3: Off season conversation, but I but I feel like there's

1274
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 3: a certain hubris and kind of arrogance. In my opinion,

1275
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:24,959
Speaker 3: it's like, no, I have to have somebody that's gonna

1276
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 3: run my system.

1277
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,919
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's an It's a really interesting point, Caleb,

1278
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,839
Speaker 8: that you bring up. I've heard this general conversation start

1279
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 8: to bubble up a little bit more this week of

1280
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,439
Speaker 8: wait a minute, why not be able to whatever dumb

1281
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 8: me down? Your offense too, and not even let's just

1282
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 8: say let's throw Anthony out because of health reasons to

1283
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 8: Riley Leonard for example, you know, can you get something

1284
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 8: of a you know, Riley Leonard did not look horrific

1285
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 8: against Jacksonville. I think we all can agree on that. Again,

1286
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 8: he didn't fumble like Jonathan Taylor. He didn't have the

1287
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 8: worst defensive effort of the season. I thought he got

1288
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 8: a bad whistle. I thought that Michael Pittman push off

1289
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 8: was an awful call in the end zone. I thought

1290
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 8: the interception should have been simultaneous catch to Pittman, like,

1291
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 8: there are a lot of things that went against him.

1292
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 8: And so I have heard that from people of like

1293
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:13,280
Speaker 8: you don't need to be at this Oxford graduate school level,

1294
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 8: saying let's get it down to you know, Clay Junior

1295
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 8: High Kevin Bowen education here and try to, you know,

1296
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 8: succeed with someone that, certainly from an athletics standpoint, would

1297
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 8: offer much much more than Philip Rivers. It is probably

1298
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 8: a little bit of a bigger picture question, Caleb, just

1299
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:34,760
Speaker 8: because I had this general thought entering the season of like, again,

1300
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 8: do you need to get the clarity on Richardson as

1301
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 8: a franchise building block? And if you do, is part

1302
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 8: of your job as whatever head coach? Play caller Shane

1303
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 8: Syken was a huge believer in Anthony Richardson. I think

1304
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 8: there's this misnomer that, like Shane didn't want Anthony Richardson,

1305
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:55,800
Speaker 8: is it your job to maybe say, all right, we

1306
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 8: might not be able to get to page eighty two

1307
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 8: of the playbook, but let's focus here on this, Let's

1308
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 8: see where the accuracy is at, let's see if he

1309
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 8: can stay healthy, and let's try and win football games

1310
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 8: in that manner. Some would probably push back on that,

1311
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,359
Speaker 8: but it definitely is a thought that crossed my mind,

1312
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 8: particularly during the offseason in regards to Richardson, and now

1313
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 8: it's showing up again in Wayne Rivers versus Leonard.

1314
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I think we all saw limitations with Anthony

1315
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 7: Richardson where he was in his development and the way

1316
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 7: he was playing. But I also point out his overall

1317
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 7: record as a starter is eight and seven. Not a

1318
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 7: complete disaster, James. Now, they finished the season poorly last

1319
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,439
Speaker 7: couple of years, but they were in contention up until

1320
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 7: about the last two three weeks of the season.

1321
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: Both times too, it wasn't.

1322
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 7: Like it was just oh, this guy is just terrible

1323
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 7: and we're not going anywhere at any point in time.

1324
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a interesting debate for sure, and one that

1325
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 2: we will continue to have as the quarterback play plays

1326
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 2: out over the next week or so. I'm very curious

1327
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 2: to see how that goes. And again, you've hitched a

1328
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 2: wagon in the Philip rivers in the honeymoon stage is

1329
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 2: starting to wear off. You got to deliver if you

1330
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 2: brought that guy in to win games.

1331
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, Chuess fifty five says to it just got benched

1332
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 7: because he couldn't deliver. He has a much bigger contract

1333
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 7: than Richardson. What makes you think the Colts really do

1334
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 7: want to see him? No one else does that.

1335
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: Just it feels like and I think chu speaks.

1336
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 5: For a lot.

1337
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 2: No one else that like a certain portion of the

1338
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 2: fan base, because I still think people within the Colts

1339
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 2: organization should want to see and do want to see

1340
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 2: Anthony Richison play football. I can tell you that definitively.

1341
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 2: Just I mean, it isn't just Shane's psych and making

1342
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 2: the decision. I don't even want to make it seem

1343
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 2: like Shane doesn't want to see him play. I think

1344
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 2: there's a lot of factors that play there. But yeah,

1345
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:44,919
Speaker 2: I understand the frustration. People remember the last time Anthony played,

1346
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 2: maybe not being that great, and trust me, it was not.

1347
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 2: I cannot sit up here and tell you he played

1348
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 2: well his last extended run on the field. But again,

1349
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 2: I just have a hard time thinking that that would

1350
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 2: even be a conversation of who would start if he

1351
00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 2: had been healthy all along.

1352
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, it just feels to me like, almost economically, if

1353
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 7: you think that you're going to get uh Daniel Jones

1354
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 7: back for the first part sometime in the first part

1355
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 7: of the season next year, you'd probably keep Richardson and

1356
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 7: Riley Leonard at this point in time just to bridge

1357
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 7: that gap, wouldn't it.

1358
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Richardson is your starting quarterback in twenty

1359
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 2: twenty six, is suddenly back on the table, but we

1360
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 2: can digress.

1361
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's just kind of where we're at.

1362
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 7: And like I said, eight and seven record, I know

1363
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 7: we didn't see what we wanted to see, especially at

1364
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 7: the end of the year, of the last couple of years.

1365
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 7: But it wasn't just an abject disaster, was it.

1366
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:33,479
Speaker 1: Kevin.

1367
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 8: You guys like Indiana Knights jerseys coming up Monday night.

1368
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 2: I loved that they could probably wear them at night.

1369
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:38,919
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1370
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 2: I think you've spend a few years since they did

1371
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 2: that whole marketing plan, and I don't think they've ever

1372
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 2: played at night in those uniforms, so at least it

1373
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 2: fits this time.

1374
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: I love those new hats that they debuted a couple

1375
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, too. Do you see those?

1376
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 2: I'd be lying if I said I mean they look

1377
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 2: them up.

1378
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 8: I do like to look for for Monday night, good

1379
00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 8: good jersey match. I think the forty nine ers jerseys

1380
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:00,479
Speaker 8: are great. Now I really sound like Jake Querry.

1381
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 7: That's okay, we like Jake. All right, let's check it down. Okay, Well,

1382
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 7: we got coming up in a minute thad Mata from

1383
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 7: Butler to tell us how the Bulldogs are doing. But

1384
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 7: right now, let's tell you what's going on.

1385
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 6: The morning checkdown on ninety thweet five and one oh

1386
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 6: seven five.

1387
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,479
Speaker 1: The fan colts back out of today.

1388
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 7: Philip Rivers continues to start a quarterback for this team,

1389
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,959
Speaker 7: and everybody the question everybody's been asking for the last

1390
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 7: couple of days. Can't he improve physically upon the performance

1391
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:31,919
Speaker 7: that we saw against the Seattle Seahawks? In other words,

1392
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 7: can he throw the ball down field a little bit more?

1393
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 7: Even in the mid range throws where you're ten, twelve,

1394
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 7: fourteen yards down too.

1395
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 8: Well, the ball's in the air long enough to pray

1396
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 8: the rosary, and I think you're gonna have to do

1397
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 8: that when you do on cork a few, but it

1398
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 8: is absolutely a must. You have to create more. And

1399
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 8: I don't know what that is at yak is the

1400
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 8: yards after catch?

1401
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 12: Is it?

1402
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 8: The Josh downs, double moves to death?

1403
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1404
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 8: I think those are all definite things that you have

1405
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 8: just got to try and tap into.

1406
01:00:58,960 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 2: And for what it's worth it.

1407
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 8: San Francisco defense is very nondescript, and they have had

1408
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 8: some issues this year, particularly getting after the quarterback, and

1409
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 8: Tennessee had over six yards per carry on them last week.

1410
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 2: Tennessee, how many touches you.

1411
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 1: We'll see Jonathan Taylor get this week.

1412
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 2: What do you have last week? Thirty?

1413
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, twenty eight something like that. If you can count

1414
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 8: the catches too. Yeah, I mean it's got to be

1415
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 8: set the over under it twenty four and a half

1416
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 8: and see what happens.

1417
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 1: I'll take the over on that.

1418
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 7: Also today we look to see James if Sauce Gardner

1419
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 7: to Forrest Buckner are edging closer and closer to returning

1420
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 7: to play.

1421
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 2: Yep, we'll see if they're out there, as well as

1422
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 2: Bernard Ryman with the rights elbow injury that he suffered

1423
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 2: last week. So three key players for this team that

1424
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 2: you would certainly like to have against the forty nine ers.

1425
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: All right, excuse me.

1426
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 7: The night Rams and Seahawks play both teams eleven and

1427
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 7: three as good as San Francisco is, and we talk

1428
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 7: about their ten and four record and how they've achieved that.

1429
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 7: These two teams are just on fire and the Rams

1430
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 7: right now, might Kevin be playing the best football in

1431
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 7: the NFL.

1432
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 8: A huge game in terms of the one seed out there,

1433
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 8: big game for the forty nine ers when you look

1434
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 8: at it from that aspect of it as well. Two

1435
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 8: big NFC games this weekend or tonight of course, and

1436
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 8: then Saturday Mars Bears against the Seattle or against the

1437
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 8: Green Bay Packers.

1438
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 2: That's the Saturday night game. We'll get two games on

1439
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 2: Saturday around the college football playoffs.

1440
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 8: So busy, busy Saturday of grit iron actions, all right.

1441
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 7: Also tonight the Pacers at home most of the New

1442
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 7: York Knicks seven o'clock tip, six thirty airtime here at

1443
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:28,440
Speaker 7: ninety three five one oh seveny five of the fan.

1444
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 7: They've lost four of their last six. They'll play against

1445
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 7: the Pelicans on Saturday. We've been talking about this all morning, James.

1446
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 7: The Knicks winning the NBA Cup a couple of nights ago.

1447
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 7: Be interesting to see who does not play tonight, who

1448
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 7: gets some rest, and who wants to heal up a

1449
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 7: little bit, And we'll see what the Pacers can do

1450
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 7: with maybe a dilape. I would say a degraded Knicks lineup,

1451
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 7: perhaps fair and.

1452
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 2: Foul, not raised in the end season Cup banner.

1453
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 13: I like it.

1454
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 7: I think they've basically said they're going to share that

1455
01:02:57,080 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 7: trophy with their fans in the corridors, right. I think

1456
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 7: they're gonna have a bit of a celebration there and

1457
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 7: they wanted to share that with the fans and be

1458
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 7: a part of it. But they they are intent the

1459
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 7: next banner they raise, they want to raise an NBA championship.

1460
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 2: The other one, he thinks since the seventies, the other

1461
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 2: two did raise it, right, Yeah, Lakers and Bucks.

1462
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: H interesting, Nick will be waiting for a long time.

1463
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 1: I think, I don't know, is this the year? They

1464
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 1: might think this is the year.

1465
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 2: I mean, it's wide open an ees.

1466
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right.

1467
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 7: We've got the Chicago Bears saying that they may explore

1468
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,959
Speaker 7: a new stadium in northwest Indiana. This is a real

1469
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 7: story that the governor of Indiana has commented on. Kevin Warren,

1470
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 7: the president of the Bears, had a lengthy letter yesterday

1471
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 7: explaining that they have to look at it. In his words,

1472
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 7: the Bears have to look at other options in the

1473
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 7: area where the region, as the case might be, because

1474
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 7: they've been informed by the folks in the legislature up

1475
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 7: in Illinois.

1476
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 1: That they don't really plan on taking any action on

1477
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: a new stadium anytime soon.

1478
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:54,920
Speaker 8: This and the text line, I can't wait for the

1479
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 8: Bears to be the next NFL team to win a playoff.

1480
01:03:57,520 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 2: Game for the State of Indiana.

1481
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 1: Boy is rutting?

1482
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 2: Is that below the belt a little bit? But man,

1483
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 2: that's below the belt. It really does kind of it

1484
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 2: really does sum up though, how bad things have kind.

1485
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 1: Of been for that.

1486

1490
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,600

01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:47,439
Speaker 7: Coming up next year, Indiana State plays basketball home tonight.

Speaker 8: They Patrick Graves is on with John yesterday. Sounds like

1503
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 8: he'll come back in full capacity. I believe you said

1506
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 8: you know, directly, but I've always heard wonderful things about him,

1507
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:24,160
Speaker 8: you know, very sudden heart heard incident, you know, a

1508
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 8: few weeks a few months ago, and so he has

Speaker 7: it on Butler basketball. Thadmna joins us for his weekly conversation.

1521
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:55,600

Speaker 1: We'll tell you all about it next.

1524
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:02,160
Speaker 6: You were listening to the fan morning show on Sports

1525
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 6: Radio ninety three to five and one oh seven five

1526
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 6: the Fan.

1527
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 1: Good morning, everyone, Welcome into a Thursday.

1528
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 7: That means that eight thirty, it's time to talk to

1529
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 7: the one only Thad Model, the head basketball coach of

1530
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 7: the Butler Bulldogs, and we'll catch up with him coming

1531
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 7: up in just a few minutes. But Kevin, we've talked

1532
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 7: about this last couple of weeks. They got something going

1533
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 7: on there. I know they struggled in their last game

1534
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 7: out IgA. It's a really good basketball team uh in Yukon,

1535
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 7: but I kind of like what they got rolling right now.

1536
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, the Jalen Jackson and Jay I do think is

1537
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 8: a big one. It's a lot on the plate of

1538
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 8: Finley Bizjack and Michael Jay right now for Butler and

1539
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 8: Stink Robinson. You know, the freshman is now being asked

1540
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 8: to start and obviously handle.

1541
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 2: The ball a whole lot here.

1542
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 8: So you know, the Big East doesn't have maybe as

1543
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 8: much top end I think talent outside of Yukon, So

1544
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:47,760
Speaker 8: there is some opportunity I think for Butler to be

1545
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 8: up there. A pretty good non conference need to I

1546
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 8: think close it out with a neutral court win over

1547
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:55,600
Speaker 8: Northwestern coming up on Saturday and then you know, get

1548
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 8: a couple there in the Big East. And if you

1549
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 8: do that right now, if you look at the early bracket,

1550
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 8: taler geez, they're kind of sniffing right around bubble maybe

1551
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 8: slightly in.

1552
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 2: The tournament and some of those projections.

1553
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, they had the conference loss seventy nine sixty to Yukon,

1554
01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 7: but they've done well in the non conference, in the

1555
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 7: conference tournament and Scott not tournament schedules. Coming right up

1556
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 7: in a hurry and joining us now is the head

1557
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:18,600
Speaker 7: coach for the Bulldog stat Mata Fad.

1558
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: Good morning, and welcome into the Fan Morning Show.

1559
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 7: We were just talking about the fact, I know you've

1560
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:24,840
Speaker 7: got a couple of big injuries over the last week

1561
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 7: or two, but for the most part, you're pretty happy

1562
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 7: with how things have gone this first part of the season.

1563
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:34,920
Speaker 10: You know, entries are part of it, and you know,

1564
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 10: you you I'm killed in Sampson once told me back

1565
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 10: he was Oklahoma was his Xavier. He said, we're all

1566
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 10: the sprained ankle away from mediocrity and it's amazing what

1567
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 10: injuries can do.

1568
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 1: But you know, I like where we are right now.

1569
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 10: I think just from the standpoint of you know, the

1570
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 10: the Yukon game the other night was a was a

1571
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 10: good lesson for us. I mean, we have to play better,

1572
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,440
Speaker 10: we have to play tougher, we have to play stronger.

1573
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 10: You know, you're in in that environment and you're playing

1574
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 10: a great basketball team, and we know we didn't get

1575
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:13,840
Speaker 10: it done, So got to come back and get yourselves

1576
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 10: ready to go again on Saturday.

1577
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:18,560
Speaker 8: I want to go back to last Saturday, and we

1578
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:20,560
Speaker 8: haven't had the chance to chat with you since, but

1579
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 8: that was one of the wilder games I've watched in

1580
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 8: quite some time. You've obviously coached over seven hundred of them,

1581
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 8: so you probably have a little bit of a different

1582
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:32,000
Speaker 8: perspective on it. But I just thought that hustle play

1583
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:34,440
Speaker 8: Michael Jay made there in the second.

1584
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:35,720
Speaker 2: Overtime was just to me.

1585
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 8: If I were a coach, I'd just be that's teach

1586
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 8: tape one oh one of what you show your guys

1587
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 8: in creating a play there. And Evan Haywood obviously knocked

1588
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 8: at home after that. But what did you make of

1589
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 8: just the back and forth nature to what you guys

1590
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:49,719
Speaker 8: had to go through on Saturday?

1591
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 10: Well, do you remember I told you guys last week

1592
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:53,600
Speaker 10: I said that that was gonna be one of the

1593
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 10: most entertaining games in Hinkle.

1594
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:58,559
Speaker 9: I had no idea that level and.

1595
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 1: I thought that was it.

1596
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 11: That was one of the.

1597
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,479
Speaker 10: Most I don't know, like high powered games that ever

1598
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 10: coached in just in terms of the back and forth

1599
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 10: and some of the plays that were made, uh throughout

1600
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 10: the course of the game by both teams. To be

1601
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 10: honest with you, and you know.

1602
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:16,639
Speaker 1: It's funny.

1603
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 10: After the Boise State game, uh, where we missed two

1604
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:21,960
Speaker 10: dunks in the first half to start the game, I

1605
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 10: told the guys, I said, look, you know, next time

1606
01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:25,320
Speaker 10: you miss the dunk.

1607
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:25,879
Speaker 9: It's a suicide.

1608
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 10: Next practice, you know.

1609
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 9: Where you run.

1610
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 10: I don't know if you say that nowadays.

1611
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:31,679
Speaker 9: Or whatever, but Gasser or whatever.

1612
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 10: And so after the game, I told Michael, I said,

1613
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 10: looks at my discretion because you missed the dunk to

1614
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 10: play after it, I'm not going to run you. And uh,

1615
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 10: you know that was that was a you know, just

1616
01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 10: a high level play on his part and and just

1617
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:51,560
Speaker 10: the awareness for Jamie to kick it to Evan for

1618
01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 10: a great wide open shot, you know, and and uh

1619
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:56,439
Speaker 10: uh it was was please get out of there with

1620
01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 10: you know, our first big east wind and and uh,

1621
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 10: you're always in sleep man. You got to protect your

1622
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 10: home court. There's no question about that that.

1623
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 2: When you look at the performance against Yukon, when you're

1624
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:09,760
Speaker 2: facing those types of programs and obviously they've been to

1625
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:11,680
Speaker 2: where you want to go as far as you know,

1626
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 2: being a perennial national contender and things like that, how

1627
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 2: much of a measuring stick can that be when you

1628
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 2: can show your players, Okay, here is a real, live

1629
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 2: in your face example of the level of play that

1630
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:24,679
Speaker 2: we have to try.

1631
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 1: To get to.

1632
01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 10: You know, it's funny to asset because it's part of

1633
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 10: the teaching we want to do coming out of that game,

1634
01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 10: because you know, when when you play a team like Yukon,

1635
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 10: when you make a mistake, they automatically make you pay.

1636
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 10: And that's something that you know, you hope to take

1637
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 10: a page out of that book, because you know, we're

1638
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 10: we we took a bad shot, they hit it through

1639
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 10: at the other end. We turned it over. They got

1640
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 10: to lay up at the other end. You're just those

1641
01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 10: those little things we miss a block out and they

1642
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 10: get to rebound and hit a three or getting in one.

1643
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 1: You know, those are the things that that.

1644
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,320
Speaker 10: We've got to get ourselves to doing where you know

1645
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 10: we turned to we got to score at the other end.

1646
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 1: Are really a great shot and.

1647
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:17,960
Speaker 10: You know that is a very talented basketball team. There's

1648
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 10: no question about that.

1649
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 7: Coach, from your perspective, you know, basketball is a weird

1650
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 7: game because of shooting percentages sometimes, so you come out

1651
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 7: red hot and you make five of your first date

1652
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 7: and then just can't hit anything for like twenty minutes

1653
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 7: a game time after that.

1654
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 1: Like, as a coach, what can you try and do

1655
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 1: when your team is just going through a cold spell

1656
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:36,560
Speaker 1: like that?

1657
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 10: Well, you have some times sometimes you have a long

1658
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:44,040
Speaker 10: cove of the man upstairs and uh, for yourself. But

1659
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 10: now you know, it's funny we had that we had

1660
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:50,799
Speaker 10: that segment where we missed, we drove in, missed the layup,

1661
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 10: got to read behind mister layup, missed the tip in,

1662
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 10: and it's.

1663
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:57,639
Speaker 9: Like, ooh, I'm not sure this is our night tonight.

1664
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:02,640
Speaker 9: And but you know, you were we rely on our shooting.

1665
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 10: And our three points shooting, and you know he being

1666
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:07,559
Speaker 10: one for eleven at halftime, and we had some very

1667
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 10: good looks and and you know those are the shots

1668
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:12,560
Speaker 10: and and you know you have nights where you you

1669
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 10: don't make shots. But you know that's something that if

1670
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:19,759
Speaker 10: you do that, man, it's putting a lot of pressure

1671
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 10: onder defense every single possession, and and uh, you know,

1672
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 10: hopefully we don't have any more shooting nights.

1673
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 8: Like we head up there again four o'clock on Saturday.

1674
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,560
Speaker 8: Over there at Gamebridge Field House, it's Butler, Northwestern and

1675
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:31,559
Speaker 8: the Indie Classic.

1676
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:33,599
Speaker 2: Obviously, the old Crossroads Classic has.

1677
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 8: Kind of turned into Butler and Purdue at least carrying

1678
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 8: the Indie flag if you will over at the NBA

1679
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:42,439

1680
01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:45,560
Speaker 8: for you guys playing uh, you know, and continuing the

1681
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 8: Indie Classic here over at Gamebridge.

1682
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:48,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think so.

1683
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:50,559
Speaker 10: I mean, you know, that's year we played Wisconsin down

1684
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 10: there this year in Northwestern. You know, I think it's

1685
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 10: a it's a good neutral site game for us obviously

1686
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,120
Speaker 10: being here in town and you know, gives our fans

1687

1688
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 10: different environment in Indy. So I like this game for

01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,920

Speaker 1: Game time for the most part, Capitat, I don't know

1711
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 1: how you were from that on.

1712
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, there was a moment in the second half I

1713
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,439
Speaker 8: remember Bizjack was wide open for three at the top

1714
01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:05,640
Speaker 8: of the key. I think it would have got it

1715
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 8: to I don't know.

1716
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 2: Seven or eight.

1717
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 8: And maybe it's one of those where Dan certainly Dan

1718
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 8: Hurley at least would have blown a gasket knowing him uh,

1719
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 8: and then biz Jack misses it and Yukon.

1720
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:17,560
Speaker 2: Comes down and who knows ball or Mullin's.

1721
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:19,200
Speaker 8: Or somebody hits a three, and it's just one of

1722
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 8: those like, Okay, you know, probably time to get back

1723
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:22,840
Speaker 8: on the plane and make sure you get the class

1724
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 8: on time on Wednesday. So would not shock me at

1725
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:28,840
Speaker 8: all if we're talking about the Huskies calling Indie home

1726
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:32,200
Speaker 8: in that first weekend of April there, so they look

1727
01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 8: very very good. And again Indie Classic, four o'clock Butler

1728
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 8: Northwestern and then six thirty Perdue in Auburn over there.

1729
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:41,000
Speaker 2: It's top twenty five matchup.

1730
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:44,080
Speaker 8: Auburn has a team that certainly ran Perdue out of

1731
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 8: the gym last year in their way to making all

1732
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,760
Speaker 8: the way to the Final four. A much different Auburn team,

1733
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:51,519
Speaker 8: but you know, can stress you in some ways. So

1734
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 8: we'll see if Purdue can finish off their non conference

1735
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 8: with another ranked win.

1736
01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:56,960
Speaker 2: Another went away from home two.

1737
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:58,599
Speaker 7: Through nine, ten to seventy number to call the Metrio's

1738
01:14:58,600 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 7: been hanging on for a while. Want to get to him.

1739
01:14:59,920 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 7: But for the break, we got Scott Agnes coming up

1740
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:03,360
Speaker 7: at the top of the hour. Good morning, Lemetri.

1741
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:06,680
Speaker 1: What is on your mind on this fine Thursday. I

1742
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:09,600
Speaker 1: was just calling me and I was just like the.

1743
01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 5: Same, styped the thing, man, like, you gotta have a

1744
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 5: certain system to play a guy that just came from

1745
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:21,719
Speaker 5: a national championship game, Like this guy came in looking

1746
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 5: pretty good.

1747
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 2: Uh, And I know Norton is all high.

1748
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 5: He went to the championship game. I just to understand

1749
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:31,840
Speaker 5: why you can't trust and believe in some of your

1750
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:33,320
Speaker 5: players sometimes.

1751
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:36,479
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, I got it. We're up against the up

1752
01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:38,760
Speaker 7: against the clock. I get the sentiment. And I've heard

1753
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 7: that a few times this week too. Like, as you

1754
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:43,640
Speaker 7: pointed out, Kevin Riley Leonard was not terrible. He was

1755
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:46,160
Speaker 7: not that bad when he came in for the injured

1756
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 7: Daniel Jones.

1757
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 2: You think people talk about our show like that.

1758
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 8: It's not terrible.

1759
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:54,000
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what you ever asked a Grover, ask

1760
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 2: you how he looks, how she looks?

1761
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 4: Like?

1762
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 1: Boy said, but to your point.

1763
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:00,920
Speaker 2: If you say not terrible, you might as well load

1764
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 2: up a tender profile and.

1765
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:02,680
Speaker 8: Get back at it.

1766
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:04,960
Speaker 7: But to your point, a minute ago, a couple of

1767
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:07,080
Speaker 7: breaks go his way and he had a pretty good game.

1768
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:11,479
Speaker 8: We have dissected Riley Leonard more than anything. I mean,

1769
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 8: I feel like I'm a Riley Leonard therapist at this point.

1770
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 8: Haven't watched him play college of basketball. Do I think

1771
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 8: Riley Leonard is a long time NFL starter. No, there's

1772
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 8: a reason why he fell to pick one hundred and

1773
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 8: eighty nine in the draft. Does he possess some qualities

1774
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 8: that are attractive from a you know, play making quarterback, Yes,

1775
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:33,800
Speaker 8: he does, and I think the leg element you could

1776
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 8: cater to that. I think one thing we haven't discussed

1777
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:37,920
Speaker 8: enough from Sunday's game. Maybe we can get into a

1778
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 8: little bit more, you know, tomorrow, and I guess Monday

1779
01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:42,479
Speaker 8: will be kind of a preview show. When you play

1780
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:45,120
Speaker 8: Philip Rivers, I think it's Steimy's your run game a

1781
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:47,160
Speaker 8: lot too. I get it, hey Rivers might get you

1782
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 8: in a right run play run fit. I mean Jonathan Taylor,

1783
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:52,880
Speaker 8: I mean that was Navy or Army trying to run it.

1784
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:54,720
Speaker 8: You know, he had what twenty five carries in his

1785
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:56,600
Speaker 8: long run was eleven? I mean, how many times in

1786
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:59,680
Speaker 8: Taylor's career hasn't been that tough sledding for him in

1787
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:01,720
Speaker 8: a game. So I think if you were to play

1788
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:05,960
Speaker 8: Leonard you could produce some of that. You know, again,

1789
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:09,560
Speaker 8: it's probably more volatile and more largely splitting hairs. In

1790
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:11,479
Speaker 8: my opinion, I think at the end of the day,

1791
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:12,920
Speaker 8: the point total probably would have been the same. And

1792
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:15,640
Speaker 8: you know, I can hear Shane saykeing out on the

1793
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:20,879
Speaker 8: for this game plan for Seattle, we needed less volatility.

1794
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:23,400
Speaker 8: We needed the higher floor, if you will, and that's

1795
01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:27,000
Speaker 8: what Rivers provides. Now it stresses out. I think all

1796
01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:30,560
Speaker 8: of your other elements, I don't think that is sustainable,

1797
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 8: and I think deep down chains Sychon knows it's not.

1798
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 8: But on Monday he was adamant that there is more

1799
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 8: to this offense with Uncle Phil, and we'll find out

1800
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:41,800
Speaker 8: here and handful of days all.

1801
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 7: Right coming up at a moment, we'll talk more a

1802
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 7: little bit about the the NFL and where the playoff

1803
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,040
Speaker 7: picture is looking right now, and also top of the

1804
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:49,840
Speaker 7: hour Pacers they're playing at home tonight. Scott Agna stops

1805
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:52,640
Speaker 7: by for the Fieldhouse Files, and we'll talk to him

1806
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:54,880
Speaker 7: about a couple of different things here as we continue

1807
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 7: in ninety three five and one o seven to five.

1808
01:17:56,280 --> 01:18:00,120
Speaker 6: Of the Fan, if you were listening to those and

1809
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:03,280
Speaker 6: morning show on Sports Radio ninety three to five and

1810
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 6: one oh seven five The Fan.

1811
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:07,040
Speaker 1: Never boring around here.

1812
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 7: You got uh, Philip Rivers starting at quarterback for the

1813
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:16,280
Speaker 7: Indianapolis Colts. You've got the Indiana Hoosiers with potentially fifteen

1814
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:18,839
Speaker 7: guys in the upcoming NFL Draft. You've got the Hoosiers

1815
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:22,480
Speaker 7: with the reigning Heisman Trophy winning. You've got the Hoosiers

1816
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:24,560
Speaker 7: with back to back Coach of the Year awards for

1817
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 7: Kurt Signetti. It's just it keeps going and going and going.

1818
01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:31,120
Speaker 7: It's always interesting around here. We've been very blessed in

1819
01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 7: this Indiana run. Is something to be old.

1820
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:33,599
Speaker 1: Kevin Bowen.

1821
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:36,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, I wanted to get this Tom Allen audio for

1822
01:18:36,439 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 8: those that maybe missed it yesterday. Obviously, Tom's at Indiana

1823
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:42,800
Speaker 8: for whatever it was, I think six years, and now

1824
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:45,559
Speaker 8: he's at Clemson as their offensive coordinators at Penn State

1825
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:47,680
Speaker 8: there and they're getting ready for the bullprep and he

1826
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:51,439
Speaker 8: was asked about Indiana's success. I'm curious your guys' thoughts

1827
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:53,120
Speaker 8: on it, because I think, you know, when you first

1828
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:55,320
Speaker 8: hear it, you could certainly take it in a couple

1829
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:57,960
Speaker 8: of different directions. So this is Tom Allen yesterday about

1830
01:18:58,080 --> 01:18:58,879
Speaker 8: Indiana football.

1831
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:01,639
Speaker 14: Just super happy for the players math text, A bunch

1832
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:04,200
Speaker 14: of them, the parents, just so happy for him. A

1833
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 14: bunch of those guys are playing for him. You know,

1834
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:08,120
Speaker 14: we got one as the Big Ten Player of the

1835
01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:11,320
Speaker 14: year on the offensive line, and the kickers doing extremely well, receivers,

1836
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 14: a bunch of linemen, dbs, you know, just one of

1837
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:17,720
Speaker 14: their linebackers. Just really really happy for those guys, and

1838
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:20,600
Speaker 14: just really happy that they've chosen.

1839
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:21,439
Speaker 1: To invest in football.

1840
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 14: You know, that's something they know they needed to do

1841
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 14: so that when I left, and they had not done

1842
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:26,280
Speaker 14: that in the.

1843
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:27,719
Speaker 1: Past at the level that was necessary.

1844
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 14: And it's been awesome to see them recognize that and

1845
01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 14: invest and be able to see them be rewarded for that.

1846
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:39,600
Speaker 2: Interesting that since a little bit of shade there or

1847
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:41,320
Speaker 2: a little bit of hey, I could have did this,

1848
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:45,720
Speaker 2: but they did invest in him exactly. They didn't put

1849
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 2: money into the program when he was here. It was

1850
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:49,719
Speaker 2: a unique, you know situation. Yeah, the world changed.

1851
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 8: But you could listen to that and say that's sour grapes.

1852
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 8: But I think you also can listen that and say

1853
01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 8: Tom Allen is exactly right. And it's funny, James when

1854
01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:02,000
Speaker 8: you bring that up. Back to Tom Allen's statement when

1855
01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:04,879
Speaker 8: he got fired from Indiana and he released a statement,

1856
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:08,559
Speaker 8: and that statement, part of it read is this college

1857
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 8: football has changed dramatically over the past several years. Some

1858
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:13,320
Speaker 8: of those changes have been a shock to the conscious

1859
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 8: of those who support IU football. The time has come

1860
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 8: to fully embrace those changes. And I pray that IU

1861
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:23,000
Speaker 8: does that. And if you think back to his tenure,

1862
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 8: you know again he had a slew of offensive coordinators

1863
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:28,800
Speaker 8: in a six year period.

1864
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 2: Caitlyn D.

1865
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:32,560
Speaker 8: Boor is one of them who now is coaching at Alabama.

1866
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:36,080
Speaker 8: And remember the conversation we had last week when I

1867
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:37,599
Speaker 8: think it was last week, it was earlier this week.

1868
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:40,720
Speaker 8: Done all the days of running together. But you know,

1869
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:44,800
Speaker 8: Indiana's retaining Bryan Haynes, their defensive coordinator. Look around the

1870
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:48,720
Speaker 8: college playoff landscape, there are many teams losing their coordinators.

1871
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:52,919
Speaker 8: But financially, Indiana's paying their defensive coordinator three million dollars.

1872
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:59,400
Speaker 8: That is financial commitment. So I hear the Tom Allen comments,

1873
01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 8: and yeah, maybe there is a little shade and there's

1874
01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:02,840
Speaker 8: a little bit of like, I could have done this

1875
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 8: to your.

1876
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:06,799
Speaker 2: Point, Yeah, bring it brings truck to my my campaign

1877
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 2: and there is my tenure.

1878
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:10,800
Speaker 8: There's probably a little pushback that needs to happen there.

1879
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 8: But I do think the financial element of that's true

1880
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:17,000
Speaker 8: what this can mean. And look, I think Kurt Signetti

1881
01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 8: almost wagged his finger back at EU and said, if

1882
01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:22,680
Speaker 8: I'm doing this, we have to do this and this

1883
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,120
Speaker 8: and this, and that means that money is here, and

1884
01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:27,320
Speaker 8: this money's here, and maybe not all the money goes

1885
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:30,400
Speaker 8: across the parking lot to the hall. Maybe some of

1886
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:35,120
Speaker 8: it stays here because football is king. I mean, that's

1887
01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:38,040
Speaker 8: just point blank period. Even four you know the rich,

1888
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 8: heralded college basketball programs that are out there, football is

1889
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:44,240
Speaker 8: still the biggest financial driver within your athletic department, arguably

1890
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 8: within your university. So, uh, yeah, I thought those were

1891
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:48,559
Speaker 8: some interesting comments from Tom Ellen.

1892
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I'm going to push back a little bit too.

1893
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 7: I get what he's saying. He was trying to build something.

1894
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:55,479
Speaker 7: They had that magical kind of year where they won

1895
01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 7: some games, people were surprised and they couldn't really build

1896
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:00,800
Speaker 7: on that. Kurt Signetti came in here, James, and he

1897
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 7: grabbed this program by the throat and he started walking

1898
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 7: around campus and goes, no, I don't want to hear

1899
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:07,920
Speaker 7: anything about how it used to be or how it

1900
01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:09,760
Speaker 7: is or how it was. This is who we are

1901
01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 7: moving forward and I'm not going to accept anything less.

1902
01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 7: And he stuck to that word, and he brought some

1903
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:17,400
Speaker 7: great players in and he brought a foundation kind of

1904
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:19,600
Speaker 7: with him and he's putting that in place and now

1905
01:22:19,640 --> 01:22:21,760
Speaker 7: he's back to back coach of the Year nationally in

1906
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:22,479
Speaker 7: college football.

1907
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 1: He took that program by the throat and said, you're

1908
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 1: coming with me. Let's go well.

1909
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:32,320
Speaker 8: And honestly, when I hear Tom Allen's comments, it might

1910
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:35,920
Speaker 8: be an indirect shot at Michael McRobbie in the previous

1911
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:41,719
Speaker 8: administration down there and Pam Witten as I'm going above

1912
01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:43,680
Speaker 8: the Afflekee director, I'm going above Scott Dowlson, I'm going

1913
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:47,320
Speaker 8: university president. Pam Whitten, who I believe came from Kennesas State,

1914
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:49,639
Speaker 8: so I don't act like it's like a huge football background,

1915
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 8: but she realized or knew what successful football can mean

1916
01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:59,120
Speaker 8: whereas I don't, and maybe I'm talking out of line here.

1917
01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 8: I don't think Michael Robbie realized that or had that focus.

1918
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:06,400
Speaker 8: And again, the college football landscape has changed a lot

1919
01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:10,040
Speaker 8: even since Tom Allen last coached at Indiana University there,

1920
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:13,719
Speaker 8: so I just think the financial commitment and the ability

1921
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 8: to again retain your staff. I mean, we're talking about

1922
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:20,360
Speaker 8: two straight years and we'll see what happens in the offseason,

1923
01:23:20,439 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 8: but we're talking two straight years of Indiana being the

1924
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 8: talk of the college football world and they've lost one

1925
01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 8: dude to UCLA from a staff standpo like that never

1926
01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:32,360
Speaker 8: happens whenever you see these stories of teams out of

1927
01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:36,719
Speaker 8: nowhere reaching the mountaintop or close to it, the staff

1928
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:39,439
Speaker 8: gets just picked apart from.

1929
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:40,440
Speaker 2: A national landscape.

1930
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:42,960
Speaker 8: And yet Brian Haynes, with three million dollars is going

1931
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:45,760
Speaker 8: to make more than you know what ninety percent of

1932
01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:48,080
Speaker 8: probably the head coach openings that are out there.

1933
01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:49,880
Speaker 2: So it's a big time financial commitment.

1934
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,559
Speaker 8: And I do think Tom Allen's words there are are

1935
01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:55,080
Speaker 8: very accurate, even if it does sound a little shade.

1936
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:57,400
Speaker 7: All right, coming up Remo, we turn our attention to

1937
01:23:57,439 --> 01:23:59,600
Speaker 7: the Indiana Pacers back home at night over at the

1938
01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:02,640
Speaker 7: field tonight, I should say they will be entertaining the

1939
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 7: New York Knicks. Scott Agnes from Fieldhouse File stops by

1940
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:07,320
Speaker 7: next ninety three to five, one oh seven five.

1941
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:07,639
Speaker 4: The fan.

1942
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 6: If you are listening to a fan morning show on

1943
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 6: sports radio, ninety three to five and one oh seven five,

1944
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:16,240
Speaker 6: the fan.

1945
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:19,200
Speaker 7: Gonna be talking Pacers in a moment here with Scott Agnes.

1946
01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:21,920
Speaker 7: And also, we got Monday night football game this week

1947
01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:25,080
Speaker 7: San Francisco forty nine Ers coming down Thursday night. I

1948
01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:29,519
Speaker 7: this is I like these later in the season games

1949
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 7: that they'll have sometimes on Thursday night. This game tonight

1950
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 7: between the Rams and the Seahawks, this just feels like

1951
01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 7: pure entertainment coming up, doesn't the James? I like, I

1952
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 7: want to see two high level, high operating football teams

1953
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:43,880
Speaker 7: just go at it for sixty minutes.

1954
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:47,679
Speaker 2: Sounds like Davante Adams will not be available for this crew,

1955
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:49,519
Speaker 2: So I wonder how much of a factor that'll be

1956
01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:52,240
Speaker 2: in a game that will likely decide their division race.

1957
01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:54,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, that we'll keep an eye on that and talk

1958
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:56,519
Speaker 7: a little bit more about that later on. But in

1959
01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:59,320
Speaker 7: the meantime, Scott Agnes does join us as he is

1960
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:01,720
Speaker 7: wont to do Thursday morning at nine am. Here on

1961
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:03,880
Speaker 7: the Fieldhouse files. That's where you can find his stuff

1962
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 7: on ninety three five one seventy five the Fan. We're

1963
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:08,479
Speaker 7: happy to have him and have him tell us about

1964
01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:10,840
Speaker 7: some of the stuff he's been working on. Pacers have

1965
01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:12,559
Speaker 7: lost four of their last six. They had a nice

1966
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 7: little stretch where they won four of six. We've been

1967
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:19,160
Speaker 7: talking about this all morning. What are the Knicks going

1968
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:20,640
Speaker 7: to look like when they come in tonight? Are they

1969
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:21,920
Speaker 7: going to be banged up? Are they going to give

1970
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:24,240
Speaker 7: some guys some rest after the NBA Cup? What are

1971
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:25,880
Speaker 7: we looking at for the Knicks this evening.

1972
01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:28,479
Speaker 13: Joey, We might be looking at is a few of

1973
01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:31,240
Speaker 13: them that have suffered the Vegas flu, similar to what

1974
01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 13: is the Miami flew after they celebrated down there in

1975
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:36,960
Speaker 13: Vegas with the DA Cup. For certain Yeah, because you

1976
01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:40,280
Speaker 13: got four guys, Jeff right now on the injury report

1977
01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:44,000
Speaker 13: that's questionable with anenobe, with heart, with Robinson and with

1978
01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:47,040
Speaker 13: Towns as well. So it's one of the hotter teams

1979
01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:48,720
Speaker 13: in the league. They won five in a row. They're

1980
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:51,479
Speaker 13: coming off that Cup. But what I do remember is

1981
01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 13: those first few games after the Pacers went through this,

1982
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:57,080
Speaker 13: after they won and got to the Cup finals, as

1983
01:25:57,120 --> 01:25:59,200
Speaker 13: they struggled for the next week. Their first game was

1984
01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 13: also on the road. It felt like an extended road trip.

1985
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:05,320
Speaker 13: So I would not expect the Knicks to be at

1986
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:08,680
Speaker 13: full strength, or or at full focus for that matter, either.

1987
01:26:09,680 --> 01:26:11,280
Speaker 2: Scott, have you ever had the vegas flu?

1988
01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:17,040
Speaker 9: I don't think I have. I'm the struggle bus, but

1989
01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:18,920
Speaker 9: I have not had the vegas flu. Like they could

1990
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:19,639
Speaker 9: have the vegas flu.

1991
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:21,439
Speaker 2: All right, all right, well, he's a vegas flu can

1992
01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:25,639
Speaker 2: stay with you forever. So he got that. He ain't

1993
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 2: got that, Scott. When you look at just the defensive effort,

1994
01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:32,680
Speaker 2: especially that Wizard's game, where do they need to be

1995
01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 2: better in that regard? Because I get that you're not

1996
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:38,000
Speaker 2: gonna make shots and you're playing with guys sometimes who

1997
01:26:38,040 --> 01:26:41,880
Speaker 2: are probably G leaguers at best. But that defensive effort

1998
01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 2: really had my eyebrows raised, Like, what the heck am

1999
01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:44,360
Speaker 2: I watching?

2000
01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:45,439
Speaker 9: Yeah?

2001
01:26:45,479 --> 01:26:47,720
Speaker 13: I think it starts within within the players. Players have

2002
01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:50,360
Speaker 13: to hold each other accountable. It's not a good thing.

2003
01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:53,080
Speaker 13: Right When Rick Carlisle burns the time out, it feels

2004
01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 13: they weren't ready and uses the time out just.

2005
01:26:55,400 --> 01:26:57,639
Speaker 9: Over one minute into that game.

2006
01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:00,439
Speaker 13: So I think it starts with individual accountabil and then

2007
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:02,880
Speaker 13: from there guys have to know their assignments.

2008
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:04,760
Speaker 9: Guys have to be in their assignments.

2009
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:09,439
Speaker 13: It just looked like a sloppy, half hearted effort in

2010
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:11,800
Speaker 13: trying to get through the game rather than play the

2011
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:14,920
Speaker 13: game and win the game. And so the good news

2012
01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:16,800
Speaker 13: is they've had a couple of days to think about it,

2013
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:17,720
Speaker 13: they'd had a day off.

2014
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 9: This is just they've only played three.

2015
01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 13: Games in their last thirteen days, so this should be

2016
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 13: as short up and as clean as they have.

2017
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:28,040
Speaker 9: Played and looked you would think since the season started.

2018
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:30,719
Speaker 13: Because of this NBA Cup, if you don't go to Vegas,

2019
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:33,519
Speaker 13: it's finally the first breather you're able to get since

2020
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:35,559
Speaker 13: the season tipped off in mid October.

2021
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:39,360
Speaker 8: Scott Agnes's work Field House files where you can find it. Scott,

2022
01:27:39,400 --> 01:27:42,560
Speaker 8: I want to shift gears to Caitlin Clark back on

2023
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:45,720
Speaker 8: the court. Last week we saw her with the Tmosa camp.

2024
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:48,160
Speaker 8: I was listening to Stephanie White all with Jake yesterday.

2025
01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:50,080
Speaker 8: Stephanie was one of the assistants down there and it

2026
01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:52,960
Speaker 8: sounded like not only Leah Boston, but Kelsey Mitchell had

2027
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:55,080
Speaker 8: a conflict or else she would have been at the

2028
01:27:55,120 --> 01:27:55,800
Speaker 8: camp as well.

2029
01:27:56,720 --> 01:27:57,479
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

2030
01:27:57,560 --> 01:27:59,680
Speaker 8: I guess from a USA calendar. Obviously we don't have

2031
01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:03,599
Speaker 8: the one until twenty eight. But could we see Caitlin

2032
01:28:03,640 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 8: Clark in any public I guess five on five action

2033
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:09,400
Speaker 8: between now and the start of the WNBA season. Is

2034
01:28:09,439 --> 01:28:10,960
Speaker 8: there any USA stuff between now and then?

2035
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:15,639
Speaker 9: No, I don't think there is. Leading up to all

2036
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:15,880
Speaker 9: of that.

2037
01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:18,200
Speaker 13: This was kind of the first of many camps that

2038
01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:21,639
Speaker 13: USA will be holding here leading up to the World

2039
01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:23,240
Speaker 13: Cup qualifying and things like that.

2040
01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:24,559
Speaker 9: And for a number of reasons.

2041
01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:27,840
Speaker 13: One because you know how they're trying to put all

2042
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:29,439
Speaker 13: these parts together at the same time.

2043
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:31,599
Speaker 9: They've got a new managing director and Sue Byrd.

2044
01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:33,800
Speaker 13: They have a new head coach in Kara Lawson, who's

2045
01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:36,400
Speaker 13: the head coach at Duke, which is why she hosted

2046
01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:39,880
Speaker 13: everyone to rally there this past weekend. But it was

2047
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:42,679
Speaker 13: absolutely encouraging. I mean, it was great to see Caitlin.

2048
01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 13: We talked to her on a zoom for about ten

2049
01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:48,240
Speaker 13: minutes and she was able to talk basketball again, right Like,

2050
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:51,080
Speaker 13: no more golf questions, no more real health questions other

2051
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:53,880
Speaker 13: than how are you doing in what progress have you made?

2052
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:57,120
Speaker 13: And this is as refreshing as it is for us

2053
01:28:57,200 --> 01:28:59,559
Speaker 13: as it probably is for her. She said she's one

2054
01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:02,280
Speaker 13: hundred perent and healthy, that she was starting to feel

2055
01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 13: like herself when she was out there, just at times,

2056
01:29:05,040 --> 01:29:07,000
Speaker 13: you know, the wind and not being in game rhythm

2057
01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:09,960
Speaker 13: and shape and such obviously got to her, but that's

2058
01:29:10,120 --> 01:29:13,960
Speaker 13: totally expected. This is if you look at the roster, Kevin,

2059
01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:17,040
Speaker 13: of the eighteen players that participated, it's not even close

2060
01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:19,880
Speaker 13: to what the final one will be. More than anything,

2061
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:22,400
Speaker 13: it's to see who has interest in it, who's willing

2062
01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:25,519
Speaker 13: to commit themselves to a three day camp and put

2063
01:29:25,560 --> 01:29:28,080
Speaker 13: themselves in the conversation because a lot of the top

2064
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:31,280
Speaker 13: top players and a Pizza Collier who's still rehabbing from

2065
01:29:31,320 --> 01:29:34,840
Speaker 13: an injury, or Brianna Stewart obviously will be involved, they

2066
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:36,320
Speaker 13: had conflicts and did not make it.

2067
01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:39,760
Speaker 2: So, Scott, are you going to just break the news

2068
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 2: now and say that Caitlyn made the national team and

2069
01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:45,519
Speaker 2: she's officially a member of that, because boy, seeing her

2070
01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:48,439
Speaker 2: in that USA, I just feel like, you know, it's

2071
01:29:48,439 --> 01:29:50,559
Speaker 2: probably a formality at some point in her career, right,

2072
01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:52,599
Speaker 2: But how much do you think she's just appreciated having

2073
01:29:52,600 --> 01:29:53,720
Speaker 2: that opportunity to do that again?

2074
01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:58,800
Speaker 13: In all seriousness, Yeah, I think she smiled several times

2075
01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:02,400
Speaker 13: on the Zoo call, just thinking and talking about the

2076
01:30:02,479 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 13: basketball and who she was surrounded with. And here's the

2077
01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:07,679
Speaker 13: other thing I think about is when she's with this group,

2078
01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:10,720
Speaker 13: she's with like minded individuals who are who are at

2079
01:30:10,760 --> 01:30:12,680
Speaker 13: the best in the world, who loved the game as

2080
01:30:12,760 --> 01:30:15,080
Speaker 13: much as her, who are as talented as her, And

2081
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:17,439
Speaker 13: so I think that also would elevate how you feel

2082
01:30:17,479 --> 01:30:18,559
Speaker 13: about where you're.

2083
01:30:18,439 --> 01:30:20,080
Speaker 9: At in the game you're playing with that bunch.

2084
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:22,680
Speaker 13: But more than anything, it was another checkpoint in her

2085
01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:23,920
Speaker 13: return here to basketball.

2086
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:28,040
Speaker 8: In scott agusfield House files, that's where you can find

2087
01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:31,800
Speaker 8: his work, Scott last one for me, anything update wise,

2088
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:36,320
Speaker 8: CBA WNBA, Where are we at with that? I felt

2089
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:37,840
Speaker 8: like there was some sort of hey, we're going to

2090
01:30:37,880 --> 01:30:40,479
Speaker 8: push it a few more weeks and maybe around January

2091
01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:41,879
Speaker 8: it was going to be the new timetable.

2092
01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:46,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, January is the next expiration date.

2093
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:51,680
Speaker 13: They've already as you discussed there, renewed and continued on

2094
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:52,679
Speaker 13: the current CBA.

2095
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:56,200
Speaker 9: Just to continue talks here, if you talk to one side.

2096
01:30:56,240 --> 01:30:58,880
Speaker 13: If you talk to the league, they feel optimistic, they

2097
01:30:58,920 --> 01:31:02,240
Speaker 13: feel positive about the way things are going, and obviously

2098
01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:04,639
Speaker 13: are expressing that excitement and optimism.

2099
01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:06,320
Speaker 9: He'd we talked to the players Association.

2100
01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:11,559
Speaker 13: I saw an interview on CNBC with the Players Association director,

2101
01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:14,240
Speaker 13: who was the exact opposite, was like, look, we're going

2102
01:31:14,320 --> 01:31:17,280
Speaker 13: to hold hard in our stances. We do not anticipate

2103
01:31:18,760 --> 01:31:21,760
Speaker 13: extending this deadline any further. We know what we're worth

2104
01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:23,280
Speaker 13: and we want to be paid like it. And so

2105
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:26,840
Speaker 13: I think still there's a lot more than we even

2106
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:29,720
Speaker 13: understand to be hammered out at this point. But the

2107
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:33,120
Speaker 13: good news is with the extension here, it allows all

2108
01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:36,000
Speaker 13: these players kb to be at the team facility and

2109
01:31:36,120 --> 01:31:37,559
Speaker 13: to have communication with everyone.

2110
01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:39,240
Speaker 9: I think that's imperative right now.

2111
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:42,160
Speaker 13: We talked with Lexi Hall, who's on a Zoom call

2112
01:31:42,240 --> 01:31:45,439
Speaker 13: for Unrivaled Media today, as was Kelsey Mitchell Aarry McDonald.

2113
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:48,839
Speaker 13: They talked about being around the facility, still being around everyone.

2114
01:31:49,120 --> 01:31:52,360
Speaker 9: So that is one positive that has come from those extensions.

2115
01:31:53,240 --> 01:31:56,040
Speaker 2: Scott Agnes Fieldhouse files James, you got one more, yeah,

2116
01:31:56,080 --> 01:31:57,760
Speaker 2: which is one quick one. I know we've talked a

2117
01:31:57,760 --> 01:31:59,880
Speaker 2: lot about Caitlyn and her health. But it sounds like

2118
01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:02,920
Speaker 2: Kelsey Mitchell is fully cleared and all that. So did

2119
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:04,840
Speaker 2: you have a chance to catch up with her during

2120
01:32:04,920 --> 01:32:07,320
Speaker 2: her media availability with unrival to just kind of gauge

2121
01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:09,720
Speaker 2: where she is after kind of a scary ending to

2122
01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:10,800
Speaker 2: her season with the Fever.

2123
01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:14,640
Speaker 13: Yeah, she kind of deflected putting a specific timeline on

2124
01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:17,479
Speaker 13: what she had did or what her benchmark was, but

2125
01:32:17,760 --> 01:32:21,360
Speaker 13: she expressed appreciation for where she is, how far she's

2126
01:32:21,439 --> 01:32:23,960
Speaker 13: come along, and now she has a whole new appreciation

2127
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:27,840
Speaker 13: and gratefulness for her health and what it took to

2128
01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:30,479
Speaker 13: get there and to try to do all the steps

2129
01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:33,840
Speaker 13: possible to prevent something like this from happening. But as

2130
01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:35,840
Speaker 13: we all know, I think more than anything that was

2131
01:32:36,080 --> 01:32:39,400
Speaker 13: just a burnt out. She had given literally everything she

2132
01:32:39,479 --> 01:32:42,559
Speaker 13: could to that Fever franchise until her body said no more.

2133
01:32:42,680 --> 01:32:45,439
Speaker 13: But she too will be playing and Unrivaled. She signed

2134
01:32:45,479 --> 01:32:48,599
Speaker 13: up like Sophie Cunningham from Project B. But that's nothing

2135
01:32:49,400 --> 01:32:51,880
Speaker 13: that will be really much talked about for about eleven months.

2136
01:32:51,920 --> 01:32:52,680
Speaker 9: That's scheduled to.

2137
01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:55,840
Speaker 13: Start I think next November, mostly overseas kind of as

2138
01:32:55,880 --> 01:32:58,719
Speaker 13: a touring group. So her next thing, along with Lexi

2139
01:32:58,880 --> 01:33:02,040
Speaker 13: Mikhayla Timpson sir as an alternate by the way of Unrivaled.

2140
01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:04,120
Speaker 13: So there's four of them that will play there over

2141
01:33:04,200 --> 01:33:05,960
Speaker 13: in Miami, and right now they're kind of having a

2142
01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:06,840
Speaker 13: mini training camp.

2143
01:33:06,920 --> 01:33:08,599
Speaker 9: Get to know we get to know each other.

2144
01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:12,040
Speaker 2: I like to get to know you better than any

2145
01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:12,240
Speaker 2: of that.

2146
01:33:12,479 --> 01:33:17,400
Speaker 8: Scott agnesfield House Files, Scott, last thing, last last thing,

2147
01:33:17,439 --> 01:33:20,960
Speaker 8: because I've said that already to you. If I'm reading correctly,

2148
01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:23,519
Speaker 8: Red Panda is going to be at the Colts game

2149
01:33:23,640 --> 01:33:26,760
Speaker 8: coming up, halftime show Monday night. A red panda in

2150
01:33:26,840 --> 01:33:28,240
Speaker 8: a football stadium?

2151
01:33:28,320 --> 01:33:28,960
Speaker 1: Are you good with that?

2152
01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:31,160
Speaker 9: That's interesting?

2153
01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:32,880
Speaker 2: How's that going to work on the turf?

2154
01:33:32,920 --> 01:33:35,000
Speaker 8: I'm a little I don't know. Maybe the Philip Rivers

2155
01:33:35,040 --> 01:33:37,559
Speaker 8: tripping on the logo has me worried from last week.

2156
01:33:37,600 --> 01:33:39,519
Speaker 8: I'm a little worried about the unicycle on the turf.

2157
01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:42,400
Speaker 13: But what they got to do with facilities, Obviously, we'll

2158
01:33:42,439 --> 01:33:46,560
Speaker 13: have a temporary platform that is flat. You would that

2159
01:33:46,680 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 13: they've got to drop out there, much like it's the

2160
01:33:48,439 --> 01:33:51,040
Speaker 13: Hall of Fame induction and they put a platform out

2161
01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:52,920
Speaker 13: there that thought it would have to be for sure,

2162
01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:53,439
Speaker 13: Look at.

2163
01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:55,759
Speaker 8: You, you are all over it. Honestly, Lucas All should

2164
01:33:55,800 --> 01:33:58,840
Speaker 8: hire you to run their halftime shows. Scott agnesfield House

2165
01:33:59,080 --> 01:34:00,360
Speaker 8: Files Scott, thanks man.

2166
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:03,760
Speaker 9: You gotta think, hey, I didn't even think about that.

2167
01:34:03,840 --> 01:34:06,960
Speaker 8: Shows you how little I know about halftime shows. Adam

2168
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:08,559
Speaker 8: and Terry on the Andville Monday Night.

2169
01:34:08,520 --> 01:34:10,320
Speaker 2: We're gonna say we don't get to watch very many

2170
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:11,880
Speaker 2: of them. It feels like, put the head down to

2171
01:34:11,880 --> 01:34:13,680
Speaker 2: the laptop, make sure you get a couple things out,

2172
01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 2: and go grab something from the media line.

2173
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:17,519
Speaker 8: When it comes to food, I think it's eight to

2174
01:34:17,560 --> 01:34:20,600
Speaker 8: fifteen kickoff coming up here Monday night, five and a

2175
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:22,320
Speaker 8: half six point spread, I believe.

2176
01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:24,639
Speaker 2: I'm thinking I should probably just after I get done

2177
01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:26,479
Speaker 2: following my story, I should probably just head over here

2178
01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:28,400
Speaker 2: and just sleep on the floor until the show starts

2179
01:34:28,439 --> 01:34:29,040
Speaker 2: Tuesday morning.

2180
01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:32,040
Speaker 3: I'm TVD for that episode of the show, James, I'm down,

2181
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:34,160
Speaker 3: I'll be going to the game. I might just do

2182
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:37,560
Speaker 3: that same thing too, So sleeping bags, yeah, I like,

2183
01:34:38,439 --> 01:34:41,360
Speaker 3: I'm still like, hey, you know, sleep over here at

2184
01:34:41,479 --> 01:34:41,920
Speaker 3: Radio one.

2185
01:34:41,960 --> 01:34:43,560
Speaker 8: I mean, honestly, one of my favorite memories of the

2186
01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:45,280
Speaker 8: kid is just throwing the sleeping bag in the trunk

2187
01:34:45,320 --> 01:34:47,479
Speaker 8: and being like, I'm going over to Aliave Marshall's house.

2188
01:34:47,479 --> 01:34:50,880
Speaker 8: I'm going over to Snyder like this is this is awesome? Man, Like,

2189
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:52,000
Speaker 8: can't get any better than this?

2190
01:34:52,720 --> 01:34:54,040
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know it?

2191
01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:54,400
Speaker 9: Did it?

2192
01:34:54,439 --> 01:34:56,200
Speaker 2: Because that now I got bills to pay it. I'm like,

2193
01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:57,680
Speaker 2: I gotta missed those days.

2194
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:01,080
Speaker 3: I'll have to sleep next to like a cardboard boxing

2195
01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:02,960
Speaker 3: here because we're still moving stuff.

2196
01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:04,920
Speaker 8: In So it'll be all right as long as the

2197
01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:07,080
Speaker 8: heat is on. Well good, we'll get to our eighth

2198
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:09,320
Speaker 8: sports story of the year. We're counting down from ten

2199
01:35:09,360 --> 01:35:11,839
Speaker 8: to one. We'll do that here in a couple of minutes.

2200
01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:13,639
Speaker 8: We've started, of course at ten to nine, and we'll

2201
01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:15,760
Speaker 8: get to our eighth Indiana Sports story of the Year

2202
01:35:16,280 --> 01:35:18,320
Speaker 8: in a few James. One thing that I think has

2203
01:35:18,360 --> 01:35:20,960
Speaker 8: gotten lost a little bit in the Colts news cycle

2204
01:35:21,040 --> 01:35:23,479
Speaker 8: over the last like seven to ten days. Obviously it's

2205
01:35:23,520 --> 01:35:25,920
Speaker 8: been so quarterback centric, but I would say in the

2206
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:30,760
Speaker 8: last week plus we have had the Tavaris Ward three

2207
01:35:30,840 --> 01:35:34,320
Speaker 8: times in concussion cushion protocol. Easy for me to say

2208
01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:41,280
Speaker 8: his season is now over. Brayden Smith neck concussion injury

2209
01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:44,960
Speaker 8: in the Jacksonville game. His, I guess to be technical

2210
01:35:45,080 --> 01:35:47,760
Speaker 8: regular season is over. Both of them on injured reserve,

2211
01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:50,280
Speaker 8: which means they can't play again in the regular season.

2212
01:35:50,400 --> 01:35:53,599
Speaker 2: Now my understanding that both are done for the year, right,

2213
01:35:53,640 --> 01:35:53,880
Speaker 2: I just.

2214
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:56,320
Speaker 8: Wanted to clarify a little bit, but yes, that is

2215
01:35:56,400 --> 01:35:59,759
Speaker 8: my sumption as well. Now Braiden is a free agent,

2216
01:36:00,360 --> 01:36:06,679
Speaker 8: Mooney is not. If I asked you the question both

2217
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:10,320
Speaker 8: either neither in the Colts uniform September twenty twenty six,

2218
01:36:10,400 --> 01:36:11,440
Speaker 8: what would be your answer.

2219
01:36:13,640 --> 01:36:17,599
Speaker 2: Either? Meaning I would lean towards Chaveri's ward. I think

2220
01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:19,559
Speaker 2: Braden Smith probably played his last night for the Colts,

2221
01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:22,720
Speaker 2: mainly because he's in a contract year, been through a

2222
01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:26,559
Speaker 2: lot recently, and I think as much as we're having

2223
01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:29,320
Speaker 2: that conversation about Shaveria's ward, oh, will he want to

2224
01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:32,879
Speaker 2: play anymore? Braiden Smith probably needs to have a conversation

2225
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:35,439
Speaker 2: with himself and his family. He's had some injury history

2226
01:36:35,479 --> 01:36:37,880
Speaker 2: beyond just the things he went through when he was

2227
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:42,080
Speaker 2: going through the OCD struggles last year. But that one,

2228
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:43,680
Speaker 2: I felt like the writing was kind of on the

2229
01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:46,000
Speaker 2: wall anyway. It kind of felt like Ryan Kelly to me,

2230
01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:47,880
Speaker 2: where we all knew going into this year, this is

2231
01:36:47,960 --> 01:36:51,320
Speaker 2: is last year, and they did draft your replacement relatively high.

2232
01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:54,160
Speaker 2: So Jalen Travis, you're hearing what they're saying about him,

2233
01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:55,479
Speaker 2: it sounds like he's gonna be their right tackle of

2234
01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:55,880
Speaker 2: the future.

2235
01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:58,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, I use this phrase quite often. At some point,

2236
01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:01,400
Speaker 8: you got to pass the torch. You can't just resign

2237
01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:04,400
Speaker 8: everybody to second, third, fourth contracts. Is not how the

2238
01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:07,360
Speaker 8: financial game works in the NFL. And you know what

2239
01:37:07,600 --> 01:37:10,240
Speaker 8: major credits to Chris Ballard because I think not only

2240
01:37:10,320 --> 01:37:13,120
Speaker 8: at center, but I think even at right guard. The

2241
01:37:13,200 --> 01:37:15,360
Speaker 8: bang for your buck that you've gotten in moving from

2242
01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:19,520
Speaker 8: Ryan Kelly to Tanner Bordolini and then Will fries de Mackenzalvez.

2243
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:21,640
Speaker 8: That has worked out for you, and that allows you

2244
01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:24,479
Speaker 8: to go get cam Binam in free agency or you know,

2245
01:37:24,640 --> 01:37:27,160
Speaker 8: obviously the Mooney thing has been really complicated, but go

2246
01:37:27,400 --> 01:37:30,479
Speaker 8: spend you know elsewhere where I think you really really

2247
01:37:30,600 --> 01:37:32,280
Speaker 8: need it. And that's kind of how I view right

2248
01:37:32,320 --> 01:37:35,680
Speaker 8: tackle that. You know, they will, you know, pass that

2249
01:37:35,800 --> 01:37:38,479
Speaker 8: torch to Jalen Travis, the Mooney thing. I know Adam

2250
01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:40,800
Speaker 8: Scheffer at a report where he would like to come back.

2251
01:37:40,880 --> 01:37:43,479
Speaker 8: I'll be curious kind of just how that rest of.

2252
01:37:43,479 --> 01:37:44,479
Speaker 2: The off season plays out.

2253
01:37:45,280 --> 01:37:47,920
Speaker 8: You know, obviously he's in a very I assume, still

2254
01:37:47,960 --> 01:37:49,400
Speaker 8: in that emotional football state.

2255
01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:52,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I'm not sure if we'll hear from him.

2256
01:37:52,520 --> 01:37:54,679
Speaker 2: I know when the season ends we usually get maybe

2257
01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:58,040
Speaker 2: Lockholst maybe, but I don't know, like if he technically

2258
01:37:58,120 --> 01:38:02,360
Speaker 2: is still going through the concussions or the IR protocol,

2259
01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:03,920
Speaker 2: we might not get a chance to hear from him.

2260
01:38:03,920 --> 01:38:06,400
Speaker 2: But certainly I agree with you about just weighing everything

2261
01:38:06,439 --> 01:38:08,040
Speaker 2: and kind of getting a deep breath away from the game.

2262
01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:10,000
Speaker 8: No, that is a good point and one thing also

2263
01:38:10,200 --> 01:38:12,800
Speaker 8: to keep in mind too. And I don't know, maybe

2264
01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:14,600
Speaker 8: it's all unfair of me to even mention this, but

2265
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:16,400
Speaker 8: you know, I do think it plays into it. When

2266
01:38:16,439 --> 01:38:20,280
Speaker 8: you have guys that have signed multiple significant contracts in

2267
01:38:20,320 --> 01:38:25,479
Speaker 8: the league, like Mooney, has your willingness to risk it

2268
01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:29,080
Speaker 8: might be different than the undrafted free agent who's played

2269
01:38:29,160 --> 01:38:31,960
Speaker 8: six games in the NFL. Yeah, I mean, I know

2270
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:33,800
Speaker 8: we've kind of joked about it, but Philip Rivers is

2271
01:38:33,880 --> 01:38:36,120
Speaker 8: helping his family out big time from a health insurance

2272
01:38:36,120 --> 01:38:38,439
Speaker 8: standpoint by coming back to playing football. I mean, like

2273
01:38:38,520 --> 01:38:41,439
Speaker 8: that stuff, you know obviously you know matters to a

2274
01:38:41,479 --> 01:38:43,880
Speaker 8: lot of these guys. So just a couple items I

2275
01:38:43,920 --> 01:38:46,360
Speaker 8: want to make sure we hit on here. All right,

2276
01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:49,519
Speaker 8: let's get back into our sports stories of the year again.

2277
01:38:49,560 --> 01:38:53,040
Speaker 8: These are our Indiana sports stories of the year. We

2278
01:38:53,160 --> 01:38:56,880
Speaker 8: have counted down the list early so far, and I

2279
01:38:56,960 --> 01:38:58,720
Speaker 8: think Caleb, I think you're going to slide in here

2280
01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:02,120
Speaker 8: for Mark Dighton and help us out. So far, James,

2281
01:39:02,240 --> 01:39:04,360
Speaker 8: you went high school high school, right, you went little

2282
01:39:04,439 --> 01:39:07,000
Speaker 8: Luke hert Ole Brelan Mullens at ten. You went with

2283
01:39:07,120 --> 01:39:10,719
Speaker 8: the Jeffersonville Fishers for a state championship game last spring.

2284
01:39:11,200 --> 01:39:14,000
Speaker 8: As you're number nine, where are you going with number eight?

2285
01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:18,960
Speaker 2: So I think I have to graduate to the pro

2286
01:39:19,200 --> 01:39:21,640
Speaker 2: ranks for this one, and I'm going to go with

2287
01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:27,800
Speaker 2: Indiana Fever pushing the Aces to Game five of the

2288
01:39:28,040 --> 01:39:32,000
Speaker 2: semifinals and trying to get to the NBAWNBA finals. So

2289
01:39:32,320 --> 01:39:35,000
Speaker 2: that to me was just a great ending to that season.

2290
01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:38,439
Speaker 2: We obviously know what Kelsey Minch Kelsey Mitchell went through,

2291
01:39:38,439 --> 01:39:40,439
Speaker 2: which she was had the severe cramping and some other

2292
01:39:40,520 --> 01:39:42,599
Speaker 2: things that are much more concerned.

2293
01:39:42,640 --> 01:39:45,000
Speaker 8: I haven't forgot about that Kelsey Mitchell injury situation.

2294
01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, but up until then, boy, she had put on

2295
01:39:48,280 --> 01:39:52,280
Speaker 2: a rock star season, First Team All WNBA. So yeah,

2296
01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:53,760
Speaker 2: that's not. My number eight on the list is just

2297
01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:59,280
Speaker 2: that Fever season ending kind of in like Cinderella run fashion,

2298
01:39:59,360 --> 01:40:02,760
Speaker 2: where you know, yeah, to think the Aces swept right

2299
01:40:03,520 --> 01:40:05,400
Speaker 2: in the WNBA finals. I believe it was what the

2300
01:40:05,680 --> 01:40:11,200
Speaker 2: Mercury and or I'm sorry, the Connecticut Son was a Mercury. Yeah,

2301
01:40:11,280 --> 01:40:12,360
Speaker 2: I forget they switched team.

2302
01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:13,160
Speaker 8: Wana Bonner and Company.

2303
01:40:13,520 --> 01:40:16,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they swept the Mercury and again, this is

2304
01:40:16,720 --> 01:40:18,800
Speaker 2: a Fever team without Caitlin Clark. That puts them to

2305
01:40:18,880 --> 01:40:22,040
Speaker 2: the brink and were you know, there were one, I

2306
01:40:22,080 --> 01:40:25,320
Speaker 2: don't know, quarter overtime away from doing it. So I

2307
01:40:25,560 --> 01:40:27,640
Speaker 2: enjoyed that. It gave me a lot of joy to

2308
01:40:27,880 --> 01:40:28,880
Speaker 2: experience that this year.

2309
01:40:29,120 --> 01:40:33,759
Speaker 8: Okay, so far Caleb Mark Dyton has gone with Miles

2310
01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:35,840
Speaker 8: McLaughlin of that story. Him and I both said that

2311
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:39,000
Speaker 8: for number ten he went the Sauce Gardner trade. For

2312
01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:42,559
Speaker 8: number nine. Again, Mark is currently in front of Governor

2313
01:40:42,600 --> 01:40:45,200
Speaker 8: Brown's house right now, trying to campaign for his bears

2314
01:40:45,240 --> 01:40:48,680
Speaker 8: to become the Hobart Bears or the Monster Bears or

2315
01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:52,360
Speaker 8: Monsters of the Monster. Like Andrew chimed in earlier with

2316
01:40:52,520 --> 01:40:56,000
Speaker 8: us here, you could agree, disagree, you could share your

2317
01:40:56,080 --> 01:40:56,880
Speaker 8: own lists.

2318
01:40:56,640 --> 01:40:59,760
Speaker 3: But where are you going, Well, I'll share Mark's list too,

2319
01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:01,479
Speaker 3: but I do want to start from tent with mine.

2320
01:41:01,479 --> 01:41:03,599
Speaker 3: But did you not want me to play the eighty Mitchell?

2321
01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:03,800
Speaker 4: Oh?

2322
01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:05,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, guy, I knew I was forgetting something.

2323
01:41:05,920 --> 01:41:08,439
Speaker 1: Okay, number eight, Okay, there we go.

2324
01:41:08,680 --> 01:41:10,280
Speaker 2: Now we got that checked off the list.

2325
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:12,920
Speaker 3: I'll start from my number ten and read to my

2326
01:41:13,080 --> 01:41:16,880
Speaker 3: number eight and I I this team will come in

2327
01:41:17,720 --> 01:41:20,720
Speaker 3: to play later in my countdown. But I did want

2328
01:41:20,760 --> 01:41:23,479
Speaker 3: to throw this moment in number ten for me is

2329
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:25,320
Speaker 3: John Halliburton versus Jannis.

2330
01:41:26,280 --> 01:41:28,679
Speaker 2: I think that deserves a final.

2331
01:41:29,640 --> 01:41:30,759
Speaker 1: Oh that's great.

2332
01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:32,920
Speaker 2: Oh my god, because.

2333
01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:34,760
Speaker 8: Now is that in our blue person in twenty twenty

2334
01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:36,880
Speaker 8: five or is that our legitimat That's a moment.

2335
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:38,080
Speaker 2: That's a moment I was working.

2336
01:41:38,640 --> 01:41:40,960
Speaker 3: It was a moment because you know, you're talking about

2337
01:41:41,040 --> 01:41:43,960
Speaker 3: man like, that's something we've never seen before.

2338
01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:48,120
Speaker 2: Really a day to the court. Number nine.

2339
01:41:48,320 --> 01:41:50,840
Speaker 8: Let me chime in one more Caleb right there. For

2340
01:41:50,920 --> 01:41:54,280
Speaker 8: those have not watched the Netflix, what's it starting five?

2341
01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:56,800
Speaker 8: You know it's called with Tyre's. Halliburton is one of

2342
01:41:56,800 --> 01:41:59,519
Speaker 8: the five players they have behind the scenes in the

2343
01:41:59,560 --> 01:42:01,880
Speaker 8: locker room of when he finds out about his dad

2344
01:42:02,160 --> 01:42:05,320
Speaker 8: like he's literally on his phone at his locker, liked, wait,

2345
01:42:05,560 --> 01:42:08,719
Speaker 8: what happened with my dad? And I mean watching his reaction,

2346
01:42:08,960 --> 01:42:11,160
Speaker 8: like reading the family group text is one of the

2347
01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:13,479
Speaker 8: funniest things that I've seen. So if people haven't checked

2348
01:42:13,479 --> 01:42:14,479
Speaker 8: that out, definitely checked that out.

2349
01:42:14,640 --> 01:42:17,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. And then number nine, I don't know, this is

2350
01:42:17,680 --> 01:42:21,200
Speaker 3: isn't of the comedic. This isn't comedic at all. But

2351
01:42:22,120 --> 01:42:24,720
Speaker 3: I thought Chris Ballard and Shane stykeen coming back to

2352
01:42:24,840 --> 01:42:27,240
Speaker 3: start this year. I thought that was a big story.

2353
01:42:27,280 --> 01:42:30,000
Speaker 3: You know, Jim Mersey releases a statement after the last

2354
01:42:30,080 --> 01:42:32,880
Speaker 3: game of the season last year, so I thought that

2355
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:34,280
Speaker 3: deserved to be up there because there's a lot of

2356
01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:34,760
Speaker 3: talk about that.

2357
01:42:34,920 --> 01:42:35,599
Speaker 1: And then number eight.

2358
01:42:35,680 --> 01:42:37,519
Speaker 3: I'm not the biggest racing guy in the world and

2359
01:42:37,560 --> 01:42:39,839
Speaker 3: I wasn't even in Indianapolis when this happened.

2360
01:42:40,400 --> 01:42:43,760
Speaker 2: But the Penske cheating scandal, Okay, I have that at

2361
01:42:43,840 --> 01:42:46,160
Speaker 2: number eight. You want me to read off Marx real quick? Yeah?

2362
01:42:46,240 --> 01:42:47,080
Speaker 2: What of Mark cab At eight?

2363
01:42:47,400 --> 01:42:49,759
Speaker 1: He had this is just true Mark fashion.

2364
01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:50,559
Speaker 10: Now.

2365
01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:52,640
Speaker 3: I don't know what you if you guys will have

2366
01:42:52,800 --> 01:42:55,960
Speaker 3: this on there, but he had the Mark Sanchez stabbing incident.

2367
01:42:56,080 --> 01:42:57,680
Speaker 9: My gosh, you.

2368
01:42:57,760 --> 01:42:58,479
Speaker 2: Guys are good.

2369
01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:00,800
Speaker 8: I didn't even think about that.

2370
01:43:01,600 --> 01:43:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is I think that deserves a spot on

2371
01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:04,920
Speaker 2: the list.

2372
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:07,120
Speaker 8: It was crazy, James, did you even like see?

2373
01:43:07,160 --> 01:43:08,600
Speaker 2: I didn't even I didn't even think about that. And

2374
01:43:09,120 --> 01:43:11,000
Speaker 2: I think I still have to might go to court

2375
01:43:11,160 --> 01:43:14,360
Speaker 2: next year to keep following up with this, Yes, seriously.

2376
01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:14,840
Speaker 8: To cover the story.

2377
01:43:14,920 --> 01:43:17,960
Speaker 2: Not because you were there, right, Oh no, No, I'm

2378
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:20,160
Speaker 2: not in the jury. I'm not on the witness pool,

2379
01:43:20,520 --> 01:43:23,200
Speaker 2: none of that. I go there and that's really good.

2380
01:43:23,280 --> 01:43:25,800
Speaker 2: Well mine's boring. Mine was Purdue shot away from the

2381
01:43:25,920 --> 01:43:26,519
Speaker 2: Laite Aid over.

2382
01:43:26,520 --> 01:43:27,599
Speaker 8: Lucas Oil Stadium.

2383
01:43:27,920 --> 01:43:29,640
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, life after Zach Edy.

2384
01:43:29,680 --> 01:43:31,160
Speaker 8: I think we were curious what it would look like,

2385
01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:34,280
Speaker 8: and you know it wasn't maybe the cleanest run to

2386
01:43:34,479 --> 01:43:36,920
Speaker 8: getting you know whatever. They were a four seed, five

2387
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:40,080
Speaker 8: seed in the tournament there, but that that game against Houston,

2388
01:43:40,240 --> 01:43:44,040
Speaker 8: you know, it was the late night Friday game here.

2389
01:43:43,920 --> 01:43:46,960
Speaker 2: At Lucas Oil and Purdue with it. I thought.

2390
01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:49,000
Speaker 8: Braydon said that one of the more impressive efforts you'll

2391
01:43:49,040 --> 01:43:52,280
Speaker 8: see against that Houston defense, and they just hung in

2392
01:43:52,320 --> 01:43:53,760
Speaker 8: there and hung in there. You know who played great

2393
01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:56,120
Speaker 8: for them in that game was Cam Heidi hit a

2394
01:43:56,280 --> 01:44:00,519
Speaker 8: huge shots at the corner. Three remember the infamous in play.

2395
01:44:01,120 --> 01:44:03,120
Speaker 8: You know they are under the basket that certainly pre

2396
01:44:03,400 --> 01:44:07,400
Speaker 8: fans will not forget that anytime soon. But to think

2397
01:44:07,479 --> 01:44:11,920
Speaker 8: they were one shot away from playing for the another

2398
01:44:12,040 --> 01:44:14,960
Speaker 8: trip to the Final four inside of Lucosolo Stadium against

2399
01:44:14,960 --> 01:44:17,679
Speaker 8: the Tennessee team that you felt like they probably would

2400
01:44:17,680 --> 01:44:18,880
Speaker 8: have had a great chance against.

2401
01:44:19,400 --> 01:44:19,519
Speaker 7: Uh.

2402
01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:21,800
Speaker 8: That was eight on my list, so so far from me,

2403
01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:26,000
Speaker 8: Miles McLaughlin, Darren Devrees and Perdue in the Sweet sixteen

2404
01:44:26,240 --> 01:44:30,080
Speaker 8: so very good. Caleb excellent, excellent, Mark Dyton. Hopefully you're

2405
01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:32,720
Speaker 8: not listening, but great work by you. Let's do a

2406
01:44:32,800 --> 01:44:33,799
Speaker 8: quick morning check down.

2407
01:44:35,360 --> 01:44:38,519
Speaker 6: The morning checkdown on Nutty Sweet five and one oh

2408
01:44:38,640 --> 01:44:39,760
Speaker 6: seven five fan.

2409
01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:42,600
Speaker 8: All right, James again, today is a Wednesday in the

2410
01:44:42,680 --> 01:44:44,599
Speaker 8: NFL world, if you will. For the Colts, they will

2411
01:44:44,680 --> 01:44:47,400
Speaker 8: start their practice schedule three days in a row as

2412
01:44:47,439 --> 01:44:50,080
Speaker 8: they get ready for the Monday night game against the

2413
01:44:50,080 --> 01:44:53,960
Speaker 8: San Francisco forty nine ers, nearly a touchdown underdog in

2414
01:44:54,120 --> 01:44:54,760
Speaker 8: that game.

2415
01:44:55,360 --> 01:44:56,600
Speaker 2: Injury wise, could you.

2416
01:44:56,600 --> 01:44:58,519
Speaker 8: Go over maybe the top three or four guys that

2417
01:44:58,960 --> 01:45:00,640
Speaker 8: we should get some clarity on today to.

2418
01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:04,400
Speaker 2: Forrest Buckner practiced last week coming back from my neck injury.

2419
01:45:04,760 --> 01:45:06,800
Speaker 2: Does he continue practicing this week? And as he cleared

2420
01:45:06,840 --> 01:45:10,040
Speaker 2: to play against the forty nine ers Sauce Gardner, he's

2421
01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:11,920
Speaker 2: been out for the last couple of weeks due to

2422
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:13,960
Speaker 2: a left calf injury. Does he practice for the first

2423
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:17,400
Speaker 2: time since that injury today? And then Bernard Ryman, the

2424
01:45:17,520 --> 01:45:21,360
Speaker 2: starting left tackle, left Sunday's game in Seattle with a

2425
01:45:21,720 --> 01:45:24,840
Speaker 2: right elbow injury. Is he available to practice and if not,

2426
01:45:25,520 --> 01:45:28,000
Speaker 2: does that mean Luke Tanuda will get his first start

2427
01:45:28,320 --> 01:45:29,679
Speaker 2: against the forty nine Ers in his career.

2428
01:45:29,720 --> 01:45:32,639
Speaker 8: Actually, all right Pacers back on the hardwood Tonight's inside

2429
01:45:32,640 --> 01:45:34,280
Speaker 8: of Gambridge Field House. It'll be the first game this

2430
01:45:34,360 --> 01:45:36,920
Speaker 8: season with the Knicks. Now we know the next As

2431
01:45:36,920 --> 01:45:39,920
Speaker 8: Scott Agnes alluded to earlier, the Vegas flu could be alive.

2432
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:42,680
Speaker 8: And well, they won the NBA Cup out in the

2433
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:45,000
Speaker 8: City of sin on Tuesday. And if you look at

2434
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:48,320
Speaker 8: the injury report, they have several guys questionable Josh hart O,

2435
01:45:48,479 --> 01:45:52,000
Speaker 8: g A Nanobi, Karl Anthony Towns, and Mitchell Robinson. So

2436
01:45:52,720 --> 01:45:55,839
Speaker 8: basically Jalen Brunson and Michale Bridges seem.

2437
01:45:55,720 --> 01:45:56,439
Speaker 2: Like they are good to go.

2438
01:45:57,120 --> 01:45:58,960
Speaker 8: But there's a reason why the Pacers are only a

2439
01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:02,360
Speaker 8: four point under the for this one, So we'll see

2440
01:46:02,400 --> 01:46:04,639
Speaker 8: if Indiana can tap into any of the Hey, let's

2441
01:46:04,680 --> 01:46:07,000
Speaker 8: try to run them into the ground a little bit

2442
01:46:07,080 --> 01:46:09,360
Speaker 8: and get what would be easily their best one of

2443
01:46:09,400 --> 01:46:12,559
Speaker 8: the season. So getting that at seven o'clock tonight at

2444
01:46:12,680 --> 01:46:15,600
Speaker 8: the Pelicans on Saturday, and then a notable back to

2445
01:46:15,680 --> 01:46:18,960
Speaker 8: back coming up Monday and Tuesday for Christmas. It's at Celtics,

2446
01:46:19,400 --> 01:46:22,240
Speaker 8: and then Miles Turner back inside a gamebridge Field House

2447
01:46:22,760 --> 01:46:28,200
Speaker 8: coming up on Tuesday, Thursday Night Football tonight, Rams and Seahawks.

2448
01:46:28,280 --> 01:46:30,439
Speaker 8: Did I see the Rams had travel issues getting to

2449
01:46:30,479 --> 01:46:31,080
Speaker 8: Seattle too?

2450
01:46:31,840 --> 01:46:34,479
Speaker 2: They did, and it's so weird to always see like

2451
01:46:35,439 --> 01:46:38,680
Speaker 2: them when they fly private have issues like that. But

2452
01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:40,880
Speaker 2: the last I saw off, Madam Schefter, is that they're

2453
01:46:40,920 --> 01:46:42,800
Speaker 2: basically going to take the coaches and the players over

2454
01:46:42,880 --> 01:46:45,479
Speaker 2: on a different plane, leave all the other people who

2455
01:46:45,560 --> 01:46:47,920
Speaker 2: are not as important behind, and we'll get you at

2456
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:51,040
Speaker 2: a later date or a later time. So I don't

2457
01:46:51,040 --> 01:46:52,559
Speaker 2: know if that should be using an excuse if they

2458
01:46:52,640 --> 01:46:54,519
Speaker 2: lose tonight, but maybe it is a little bit of

2459
01:46:54,520 --> 01:46:55,120
Speaker 2: a factor.

2460
01:46:54,960 --> 01:46:56,839
Speaker 8: Close to about to pick them in this game. Seattle's

2461
01:46:56,840 --> 01:46:58,760
Speaker 8: slight favored in this one. It's a huge game for

2462
01:46:58,800 --> 01:47:01,200
Speaker 8: the NFC pecking order. From a number one.

2463
01:47:01,120 --> 01:47:03,519
Speaker 2: Seed stamp, I want to venture to say, you can't

2464
01:47:03,640 --> 01:47:06,120
Speaker 2: win based off just field goals again, so probably what

2465
01:47:06,200 --> 01:47:06,880
Speaker 2: guy getting the end.

2466
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:10,320
Speaker 8: Zone, it's probably accurate against Matthew Stafford and analysis. We'll

2467
01:47:10,360 --> 01:47:12,559
Speaker 8: see uh quite the week for pooking a coup off

2468
01:47:12,600 --> 01:47:15,840
Speaker 8: the field. We'll see how he plays tonight. James Boyd,

2469
01:47:15,920 --> 01:47:18,400
Speaker 8: if you were back in the region at the Northwest

2470
01:47:18,600 --> 01:47:24,080
Speaker 8: Indiana Times, your thoughts on the Chicago Bears statement yesterday

2471
01:47:24,240 --> 01:47:27,479
Speaker 8: Kevin Warren their COEO saying the Arlington Heights Stadium project

2472
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:31,120
Speaker 8: doesn't sound like it is progressing enough, and he threw

2473
01:47:31,200 --> 01:47:35,920
Speaker 8: out the location of Northwest Indiana as a possible spot

2474
01:47:36,040 --> 01:47:38,040
Speaker 8: for the Chicago Bears new stadium.

2475
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. I can't remember what's the equivalent of visit India

2476
01:47:41,120 --> 01:47:43,519
Speaker 2: up there, but I feel like I'll be calling whoever

2477
01:47:43,760 --> 01:47:50,479
Speaker 2: the local visiting company is, and also the Bricky Bowl people,

2478
01:47:50,840 --> 01:47:54,760
Speaker 2: and you know, just surveying the Steelyard, the Steelyard where

2479
01:47:54,760 --> 01:47:58,000
Speaker 2: the Gary Stouthsore RailCats are playing. Yeah, it will be

2480
01:47:58,040 --> 01:47:59,360
Speaker 2: a busy day for you, boy if I was still

2481
01:47:59,400 --> 01:48:02,720
Speaker 2: working up there. But it's big news. It's more of

2482
01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:06,559
Speaker 2: a headline now than anything. But the fact that Kevin

2483
01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:11,280
Speaker 2: Warren the Bears, what coo drops that days away from

2484
01:48:11,320 --> 01:48:13,679
Speaker 2: probably one of their biggest regular season games in years

2485
01:48:14,360 --> 01:48:17,280
Speaker 2: shows you that even if the Bears are good, they're

2486
01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:21,040
Speaker 2: still pretty dysfunctional. I guess leverage is king, but that's

2487
01:48:21,160 --> 01:48:22,280
Speaker 2: quite the statement there.

2488
01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:25,320
Speaker 8: Enjoyed here in Matthew Graves back on with JMB yesterday,

2489
01:48:25,360 --> 01:48:28,960
Speaker 8: the Indiana State coach big time heart issue back. I

2490
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:31,280
Speaker 8: think in November, maybe it was October. Sounds like he

2491
01:48:31,320 --> 01:48:34,320
Speaker 8: will make his full return to coaching, hopefully coming up

2492
01:48:34,320 --> 01:48:36,240
Speaker 8: here by the end of the month. Belmont was a

2493
01:48:36,280 --> 01:48:38,240
Speaker 8: game he mentioned for Indiana State. They've had a nice

2494
01:48:38,240 --> 01:48:41,200
Speaker 8: start here, seven and four in the non conference. Still

2495
01:48:41,240 --> 01:48:45,479
Speaker 8: start Missouri Valley play tonight with Bradley and reminder from

2496
01:48:45,479 --> 01:48:47,880
Speaker 8: a college basketball standpoint, a lot of college football this

2497
01:48:47,960 --> 01:48:50,640
Speaker 8: weekend playoff game tomorrow, Indiana will know their opponent. It's

2498
01:48:50,680 --> 01:48:53,800
Speaker 8: Alabama Oklahoma from Norman. We get the three playoff games

2499
01:48:53,840 --> 01:48:56,880
Speaker 8: in on Saturday, along with two NFL games, But locally,

2500
01:48:56,920 --> 01:49:00,559
Speaker 8: college basketball Indiana is back in action. They've got Chicago State,

2501
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:03,479
Speaker 8: but over here at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the four o'clock game

2502
01:49:03,520 --> 01:49:06,720
Speaker 8: will be Butler in Northwestern and the Indie Classic, and

2503
01:49:06,840 --> 01:49:10,680
Speaker 8: at six thirty it is per Due and Auburn. As

2504
01:49:10,720 --> 01:49:13,880
Speaker 8: both of those teams wrap up. There pretty much a

2505
01:49:13,960 --> 01:49:14,599
Speaker 8: non conference play.

2506
01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:17,200
Speaker 2: Butler's got one more coming up on Monday.

2507
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:18,360
Speaker 1: All right.

2508
01:49:18,439 --> 01:49:21,120
Speaker 8: On the other side, Jason Hammer going to join us next.

2509
01:49:21,200 --> 01:49:23,200
Speaker 8: It's a Thursday, it's nine to thirty. Hammer, It's got

2510
01:49:23,240 --> 01:49:23,840
Speaker 8: some picks for us.

2511
01:49:26,640 --> 01:49:28,920
Speaker 6: If you were listening to a fan morning show on

2512
01:49:29,080 --> 01:49:32,360
Speaker 6: sports Radio ninety three to five and one oh seven five, the.

2513
01:49:32,479 --> 01:49:36,679
Speaker 8: Fan man, we gotta make some money. It's a holiday season,

2514
01:49:36,960 --> 01:49:39,920
Speaker 8: point blank. We got to make money, and Jason Hammer's

2515
01:49:39,920 --> 01:49:41,840
Speaker 8: going to try and do that for us here. Coming

2516
01:49:41,920 --> 01:49:44,559
Speaker 8: up tonight one of the more anticipated Thursday night games

2517
01:49:44,600 --> 01:49:49,360
Speaker 8: of the year, Rams at Seahawks. Seattle a slight favorite

2518
01:49:49,800 --> 01:49:52,479
Speaker 8: in this one, as James pointed out earlier, DeVante Adams

2519
01:49:52,560 --> 01:49:55,200
Speaker 8: doubtful for this one. The over under forty two and

2520
01:49:55,240 --> 01:49:58,120
Speaker 8: a half, so a little bit lower on that end

2521
01:49:58,160 --> 01:50:00,200
Speaker 8: than maybe I would have first thought to talk more

2522
01:50:00,200 --> 01:50:00,479
Speaker 8: about it.

2523
01:50:00,520 --> 01:50:02,080
Speaker 2: You hear him every afternoon on our.

2524
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:05,960
Speaker 8: Sister station WIBC. He is Jason Hammer.

2525
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:06,280
Speaker 2: Hammer.

2526
01:50:06,320 --> 01:50:08,400
Speaker 8: We're not used to you on the phone, but good

2527
01:50:08,439 --> 01:50:08,840
Speaker 8: morning to you.

2528
01:50:10,320 --> 01:50:12,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of feel like this might have to

2529
01:50:12,080 --> 01:50:16,160
Speaker 4: be the new norm because since we've changed buildings, you know,

2530
01:50:16,240 --> 01:50:18,640
Speaker 4: we went from the Monument Circle building over to the

2531
01:50:19,120 --> 01:50:22,680
Speaker 4: new Urban One building. They told me it's this is

2532
01:50:22,680 --> 01:50:25,040
Speaker 4: a quote, it's a cold day in hell before you

2533
01:50:25,160 --> 01:50:27,439
Speaker 4: have an office or a place to work again. So

2534
01:50:27,920 --> 01:50:30,240
Speaker 4: that's why I'm on the phone right now, and I'll

2535
01:50:30,240 --> 01:50:31,560
Speaker 4: be in the office a little bit later on.

2536
01:50:31,920 --> 01:50:34,160
Speaker 2: Is that a direct quote or is that an indirect quote?

2537
01:50:35,160 --> 01:50:35,960
Speaker 9: I'm paraphrasing.

2538
01:50:37,600 --> 01:50:39,920
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, honestly, as long as we win, I mean,

2539
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:42,559
Speaker 8: you could write us a letter each week and we would.

2540
01:50:42,400 --> 01:50:43,040
Speaker 2: Read it on air.

2541
01:50:43,080 --> 01:50:45,840
Speaker 8: I mean Pigion carrier delivery literally, yes, pigeon carrier. I

2542
01:50:45,880 --> 01:50:46,200
Speaker 8: don't care.

2543
01:50:46,280 --> 01:50:46,960
Speaker 1: We just need to win.

2544
01:50:47,080 --> 01:50:48,280
Speaker 2: So what are we looking at tonight?

2545
01:50:49,600 --> 01:50:53,360
Speaker 4: Eleven four on Thursday Night? Gameplay gentlemen eleven and four,

2546
01:50:53,479 --> 01:50:55,280
Speaker 4: So let's keep this thing rolling tonight.

2547
01:50:56,240 --> 01:50:56,680
Speaker 9: I'm with you.

2548
01:50:56,960 --> 01:51:01,400
Speaker 4: I like this game Tonight rams at Sea Hall around

2549
01:51:01,520 --> 01:51:04,560
Speaker 4: one of the malf Seattle is the home favorites. I

2550
01:51:04,760 --> 01:51:07,439
Speaker 4: like that total though. I'm looking at this total boys,

2551
01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:09,479
Speaker 4: and I feel like we're going to ride the lightning

2552
01:51:09,560 --> 01:51:13,680
Speaker 4: tonight and take a rare over on a Thursday night. Now.

2553
01:51:13,720 --> 01:51:17,080
Speaker 4: I know, short weeks usually as a recipe for the

2554
01:51:17,240 --> 01:51:21,120
Speaker 4: under here, but at just forty two, some spots have

2555
01:51:21,240 --> 01:51:21,920
Speaker 4: at forty two.

2556
01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:22,200
Speaker 9: And a half.

2557
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:25,439
Speaker 4: If you look at what the Rams have done just

2558
01:51:25,520 --> 01:51:28,360
Speaker 4: the last four weeks on their own, okay, these are

2559
01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:30,680
Speaker 4: the point totals the Rams have put up in the

2560
01:51:30,760 --> 01:51:35,280
Speaker 4: last four games forty one, forty five, twenty eight, and

2561
01:51:35,439 --> 01:51:39,120
Speaker 4: thirty four. They've scored thirty three points or more eight

2562
01:51:39,320 --> 01:51:40,519
Speaker 4: times this year.

2563
01:51:41,280 --> 01:51:43,400
Speaker 1: And listen, I think you see.

2564
01:51:43,280 --> 01:51:44,599
Speaker 9: A little bit of passing tonight.

2565
01:51:44,880 --> 01:51:47,960
Speaker 4: The fore cast calls for rain in Seattle, but you

2566
01:51:48,040 --> 01:51:50,640
Speaker 4: know what, It rains every day in Seattle, as long

2567
01:51:50,680 --> 01:51:54,120
Speaker 4: as it's not Wendy. I had a gambling degenerate friend

2568
01:51:54,160 --> 01:51:57,880
Speaker 4: of mine once tell me that the rain benefits the

2569
01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:01,920
Speaker 4: offensive player as long as it's not. The rain benefits

2570
01:52:01,960 --> 01:52:04,800
Speaker 4: the offense because the offensive player knows where he's going

2571
01:52:04,880 --> 01:52:07,719
Speaker 4: to cut. The defensive player has to react. You slip,

2572
01:52:07,880 --> 01:52:10,479
Speaker 4: you fall, you break a long run. These are the

2573
01:52:10,520 --> 01:52:13,760
Speaker 4: kind of things that degenerates talk about here. So I'm in.

2574
01:52:14,240 --> 01:52:16,280
Speaker 4: I am in like flint. We're going to ride the

2575
01:52:16,400 --> 01:52:20,400
Speaker 4: lightning over forty two tonight. I know Adams is probably

2576
01:52:20,439 --> 01:52:21,799
Speaker 4: not going to play for the Rams.

2577
01:52:22,040 --> 01:52:23,080
Speaker 2: Seahawks are having some.

2578
01:52:23,160 --> 01:52:27,080
Speaker 4: Injuries up front, but I like the total we're going

2579
01:52:27,160 --> 01:52:29,320
Speaker 4: to go over and Kevin, We're going to win so

2580
01:52:29,479 --> 01:52:32,240
Speaker 4: much freaking money tonight. We're going to build the Bears

2581
01:52:32,320 --> 01:52:36,160
Speaker 4: a new stadium in Beach Grove, Indiana. Through Northwest Indiana.

2582
01:52:36,360 --> 01:52:39,160
Speaker 4: We're building to the Bears a stadium and Beach Grove.

2583
01:52:39,960 --> 01:52:41,400
Speaker 2: The monsters of Beach Grove.

2584
01:52:41,560 --> 01:52:44,800
Speaker 8: I can see it now, billboards everywhere around four sixty five.

2585
01:52:44,800 --> 01:52:46,680
Speaker 2: I feel like anybody who heard the news about the

2586
01:52:46,720 --> 01:52:49,120
Speaker 2: Bears are just like, they forget the Northwest Indiana part

2587
01:52:49,160 --> 01:52:50,480
Speaker 2: and they're just like anywhere.

2588
01:52:50,120 --> 01:52:50,839
Speaker 8: In India anywhere.

2589
01:52:50,920 --> 01:52:55,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, next to Holiday World for all I care. So Hammer,

2590
01:52:55,960 --> 01:52:58,040
Speaker 2: we have to ask, what are you looking at as

2591
01:52:58,080 --> 01:53:01,080
Speaker 2: far as individual props heading into Thursday night?

2592
01:53:02,840 --> 01:53:03,160
Speaker 1: Nothing?

2593
01:53:03,800 --> 01:53:07,200
Speaker 4: Absolutely nothing, James listen, I know when I'm beat when

2594
01:53:07,240 --> 01:53:10,400
Speaker 4: it comes to prop bets on Thursday night. I'm France.

2595
01:53:10,720 --> 01:53:13,880
Speaker 4: They wave that white surrender flag a long time ago,

2596
01:53:14,240 --> 01:53:17,200
Speaker 4: so I'm not going to waste anybody's time. But since

2597
01:53:17,240 --> 01:53:21,200
Speaker 4: we were basically an army ridiculous kick away from running

2598
01:53:21,280 --> 01:53:23,960
Speaker 4: the table on games last week, if you don't mind

2599
01:53:24,240 --> 01:53:26,600
Speaker 4: let's run through some more games with that.

2600
01:53:28,560 --> 01:53:29,080
Speaker 9: Let's go to.

2601
01:53:29,120 --> 01:53:32,000
Speaker 4: Monday Night football, the Colts and the Niners. And I

2602
01:53:32,080 --> 01:53:33,479
Speaker 4: know you guys are going to be talking about this

2603
01:53:33,600 --> 01:53:36,760
Speaker 4: a lot, especially on Monday of next week, but this

2604
01:53:36,880 --> 01:53:38,400
Speaker 4: is the last time I'm gonna talk to you guys

2605
01:53:38,439 --> 01:53:42,240
Speaker 4: before the game. Take a look at the under in

2606
01:53:42,400 --> 01:53:44,960
Speaker 4: that one under forty six and a half.

2607
01:53:45,560 --> 01:53:45,800
Speaker 1: Look.

2608
01:53:45,840 --> 01:53:48,240
Speaker 4: I think the Colts might be a little better offensively

2609
01:53:48,560 --> 01:53:51,200
Speaker 4: than they were at Seattle, but Seattle's got a pretty

2610
01:53:51,200 --> 01:53:54,040
Speaker 4: good defense at the tough place to play Seattle. I

2611
01:53:54,120 --> 01:53:57,000
Speaker 4: think a second and points allowed, I think the Colts

2612
01:53:57,040 --> 01:53:59,400
Speaker 4: will be a little bit better. But let's not get

2613
01:53:59,439 --> 01:54:01,840
Speaker 4: a twisted. The greatest show on turf isn't going to

2614
01:54:01,880 --> 01:54:04,800
Speaker 4: happen on Monday Night football. Colts are gonna play some

2615
01:54:04,960 --> 01:54:07,680
Speaker 4: ball control. I think they're gonna feed Jonathan Taylor a

2616
01:54:07,760 --> 01:54:10,599
Speaker 4: lot more. Tyler Warren's gonna see a lot more looks.

2617
01:54:11,720 --> 01:54:14,439
Speaker 4: So we're gonna go under on the Colton forty nine ers.

2618
01:54:14,600 --> 01:54:16,920
Speaker 4: I like it at forty six and a half right now.

2619
01:54:17,320 --> 01:54:19,600
Speaker 4: I feel like that's probably going to go down just

2620
01:54:19,640 --> 01:54:21,439
Speaker 4: a little bit. So if you want to strike while

2621
01:54:21,439 --> 01:54:23,320
Speaker 4: the iron's hot and get the best number.

2622
01:54:24,320 --> 01:54:25,120
Speaker 1: That's what you want to do.

2623
01:54:25,479 --> 01:54:26,920
Speaker 4: Nobody likes the best the under.

2624
01:54:27,160 --> 01:54:27,600
Speaker 9: I get it.

2625
01:54:27,960 --> 01:54:30,360
Speaker 4: It feels like something communists do. But if you like

2626
01:54:30,520 --> 01:54:33,120
Speaker 4: money and you want to buy gifts for Christmas, let's

2627
01:54:33,160 --> 01:54:35,040
Speaker 4: hammer that under at forty six and a half.

2633
01:54:47,160 --> 01:54:49,400
Speaker 8: college football with you quite a lot. Some of these

2634
01:54:49,480 --> 01:54:50,360
Speaker 8: lines are wild.

2635
01:54:50,440 --> 01:54:50,720
Speaker 2: Hammer.

2636
01:54:50,800 --> 01:54:52,440
Speaker 8: First off, you got a pretty much a pick them

2637
01:54:52,440 --> 01:54:55,520
Speaker 8: tomorrow night Alabama Oklahoma. Oklahoma favorite at home by.

2638
01:54:55,440 --> 01:54:55,920
Speaker 2: One and a half.

2639
01:54:56,280 --> 01:54:59,440
Speaker 8: Texas A and m Miami's are noon game Saturday. They're

2640
01:54:59,480 --> 01:55:01,800
Speaker 8: favored by three and a half Texas A and m

2641
01:55:01,920 --> 01:55:04,720
Speaker 8: over Miami. And then the group of five spreads are

2642
01:55:04,920 --> 01:55:08,000
Speaker 8: just huge. Ole Miss is a seventeen and a half

2643
01:55:08,080 --> 01:55:12,160
Speaker 8: point favorite over tou Lane and Oregon has got twenty

2644
01:55:12,440 --> 01:55:14,680
Speaker 8: one points over James Madison.

2645
01:55:15,240 --> 01:55:16,360
Speaker 2: What do you like if anything?

2646
01:55:17,880 --> 01:55:20,040
Speaker 4: So I gave you last week Fourregon, and I'm a

2647
01:55:20,080 --> 01:55:22,440
Speaker 4: little shot to that line that stayed where it's at,

2648
01:55:22,800 --> 01:55:24,960
Speaker 4: So I kind of feel good. We're gonna's a big number,

2649
01:55:25,360 --> 01:55:27,200
Speaker 4: but I'm going to lay twenty one and a half

2650
01:55:27,280 --> 01:55:29,720
Speaker 4: of Oregon. I think they think James Madison just the

2651
01:55:29,920 --> 01:55:33,200
Speaker 4: absolute woodshed there. And I don't know about you guys,

2652
01:55:33,280 --> 01:55:39,080
Speaker 4: but my afternoon show is really hoping Alabama beats Oklahoma.

2653
01:55:39,240 --> 01:55:40,200
Speaker 1: Yes, not from an.

2654
01:55:40,120 --> 01:55:43,960
Speaker 4: Exos Oh standpoint, but for two weeks I'll get to

2655
01:55:44,080 --> 01:55:47,280
Speaker 4: make fun of those trailer trash. He'll leaves from Alabama

2656
01:55:47,400 --> 01:55:50,160
Speaker 4: on our afternoon show, Kevin, and nothing would do this

2657
01:55:50,280 --> 01:55:54,600
Speaker 4: is rocky tops, harder, more justice than just ripping on

2658
01:55:54,920 --> 01:55:58,920
Speaker 4: those no good, rotten roll tied sister loven fools down

2659
01:55:58,960 --> 01:56:02,560
Speaker 4: from Alabama. I hope the Tide win this game, Kevin.

2660
01:56:02,680 --> 01:56:04,480
Speaker 4: I'm rooting for it for my shadow's sake.

2661
01:56:06,640 --> 01:56:08,600
Speaker 2: Caylyn. The boardings to call you in here for the

2662
01:56:08,640 --> 01:56:10,680
Speaker 2: pregame speech. Here, I was gonna say, he sound like

2663
01:56:10,680 --> 01:56:12,560
Speaker 2: a guy who'll be on the Paul feinbaumb Show.

2664
01:56:14,920 --> 01:56:17,600
Speaker 8: I have thinking a little bit about that over under Hammer,

2665
01:56:17,680 --> 01:56:21,240
Speaker 8: just because those offenses. I mean, you watch the SEC endlessly, ye,

2666
01:56:21,360 --> 01:56:23,760
Speaker 8: I mean Alabama negative rushing yards in the SEC title

2667
01:56:23,800 --> 01:56:24,680
Speaker 8: game in Oklahoma.

2668
01:56:25,080 --> 01:56:26,880
Speaker 2: Sometimes you watch their offense and it looks like the

2669
01:56:26,960 --> 01:56:29,760
Speaker 2: Colts of Philip Rivers it does too.

2670
01:56:30,400 --> 01:56:32,440
Speaker 4: Take a look at the under in that game, by

2671
01:56:32,480 --> 01:56:35,560
Speaker 4: the way, but I think it says something. I mean,

2672
01:56:35,760 --> 01:56:39,600
Speaker 4: nobody's beaten Alabama twice in a year in like one

2673
01:56:39,680 --> 01:56:40,040
Speaker 4: hundred and.

2674
01:56:40,120 --> 01:56:40,960
Speaker 9: Thirty plus years.

2675
01:56:41,880 --> 01:56:45,240
Speaker 4: You would have thought Georgia maybe accomplished it, or you know,

2676
01:56:45,640 --> 01:56:49,400
Speaker 4: perhaps LSU or Florida or somebody. But it's tough to

2677
01:56:49,480 --> 01:56:53,080
Speaker 4: beat the Tide twice in a year. But man, the

2678
01:56:53,200 --> 01:56:56,000
Speaker 4: way that offense has been the final month, not just

2679
01:56:56,080 --> 01:56:59,680
Speaker 4: the game against Oklahoma, but whatever that was against Georgia,

2680
01:57:00,320 --> 01:57:02,800
Speaker 4: I just can't put any hard earned money on it

2681
01:57:02,920 --> 01:57:04,640
Speaker 4: right now. So I would take a look at the total,

2682
01:57:04,680 --> 01:57:06,160
Speaker 4: and I kind of lean with.

2683
01:57:06,200 --> 01:57:08,280
Speaker 2: The under all right again.

2684
01:57:08,480 --> 01:57:12,880
Speaker 8: Jason Hammer WIBC Every afternoon the Hammer of Nigel Show Degenerates.

2685

Speaker 8: this week tonight the over forty two and a half.

2687
01:57:18,800 --> 01:57:21,760
Speaker 8: That is Seahawks and Rams if you want to dabble

2688
01:57:21,800 --> 01:57:23,640
Speaker 8: in the colts and forty nine ers. On Monday, he

2689
01:57:23,800 --> 01:57:25,800
Speaker 8: likes the under of forty six and a half. I

2690
01:57:25,920 --> 01:57:28,480
Speaker 8: like both of those, and then he's taken Oregon in

2691
01:57:28,600 --> 01:57:30,920
Speaker 8: the points. Does not believe in the dukes of James

2692
01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:34,760
Speaker 8: Madison at all that is a three touchdown favorite for

2693
01:57:35,160 --> 01:57:37,800
Speaker 8: the Oregon Ducks. Hammer, we probably won't talk to you

2694
01:57:37,880 --> 01:57:40,680
Speaker 8: because it'll be Christmas next Thursday. Have a great, great Christmas,

Speaker 4: we've got the governor in studio. And if you don't

2698
01:57:49,360 --> 01:57:51,200
Speaker 4: think I'm not trying to get the Bears in Indiana,

2699
01:57:51,360 --> 01:57:51,760
Speaker 4: You're wrong.

2700
01:57:52,560 --> 01:57:55,000
Speaker 8: All right, Well get it done, brother, Mark Dyiton's gonna

2701
01:57:55,000 --> 01:57:57,000
Speaker 8: be banging on that door like it's an ex girlfriend

2702
01:57:57,040 --> 01:58:03,240
Speaker 8: in there. Good luck with that. That is Mike Brown,

2703
01:58:03,320 --> 01:58:05,280
Speaker 8: of course, who did chime in on Twitter? I saw

2704
01:58:05,360 --> 01:58:09,880
Speaker 8: last night James Boyd welcoming the Bears idea of being

2705
01:58:09,960 --> 01:58:11,160
Speaker 8: in northwest Indiana.

2706
01:58:11,200 --> 01:58:13,839
Speaker 2: Oh you gotta have your soapbox for sure, I asked.

2707
01:58:13,640 --> 01:58:16,520
Speaker 8: Us, in all seriousness, is that what's the biggest football

2708
01:58:16,520 --> 01:58:18,440
Speaker 8: stadium up there? Would it be valpos?

2709
01:58:20,440 --> 01:58:23,120
Speaker 2: I know Maryville High School has a huge right off

2710
01:58:23,160 --> 01:58:25,160
Speaker 2: sixty five right when you look over the left if

2711
01:58:25,160 --> 01:58:26,840
Speaker 2: you're driving north with there. I mean, obviously they would

2712
01:58:26,840 --> 01:58:30,120
Speaker 2: build their new one. I know what I'm saying here,

2713
01:58:30,200 --> 01:58:32,400
Speaker 2: but I'm trying to think of like, what is the

2714
01:58:32,480 --> 01:58:35,480
Speaker 2: biggest stadium up there? It might be the marav One

2715
01:58:36,920 --> 01:58:40,320
Speaker 2: All people keep saying the Steelyard. That's baseball. So I

2716
01:58:40,360 --> 01:58:42,680
Speaker 2: don't know how much you can go back to the

2717
01:58:42,720 --> 01:58:45,600
Speaker 2: old Oakland Raiders Stadium. We have the old sure diamond

2718
01:58:45,640 --> 01:58:46,000
Speaker 2: in the middle.

2719
01:58:46,080 --> 01:58:48,560
Speaker 8: Sure, yeah, somehow we could combine the Steilyard and the

2720
01:58:48,600 --> 01:58:50,720
Speaker 8: Brickie Bowl. That's where I want the Bears to play.

2721
01:58:50,840 --> 01:58:53,640
Speaker 8: I've become the biggest Bears fan out there. All right,

2722
01:58:53,640 --> 01:58:55,080
Speaker 8: we'll do it one final time here. It's a fan

Speaker 8: Or was that in the summer?

2745
01:59:57,200 --> 01:59:59,560
Speaker 12: It wasn't on the combine actually comb Yeah, I went

2746
01:59:59,600 --> 02:00:02,520
Speaker 12: to last March. I was here for the combine for

2747
02:00:02,680 --> 02:00:04,320
Speaker 12: East PN Netherlands, which is pretty cool.

2748

Speaker 8: Yeah, you are a huge Colts fan. Cover of the NFL.

2749
02:00:09,080 --> 02:00:10,520
Speaker 8: You do great, great work. I think if you're a

2750
02:00:10,560 --> 02:00:13,720
Speaker 8: Colts fan, you've probably come across your work and you

2751
02:00:14,080 --> 02:00:16,440
Speaker 8: are visiting, are currently staying with your host family right

2752
02:00:16,560 --> 02:00:17,960
Speaker 8: up there in Fishers exactly.

2753
02:00:18,000 --> 02:00:21,000
Speaker 12: I was a former foreign exchange shooting in Fishers. Still

2754
02:00:21,040 --> 02:00:22,600
Speaker 12: stay with them every once in a while and they're

2755
02:00:22,840 --> 02:00:24,880
Speaker 12: still happy to have me back. So that's very nice

2756
02:00:24,920 --> 02:00:27,680
Speaker 12: of them. But yeah, I saw the schedule last March

2757
02:00:27,720 --> 02:00:29,960
Speaker 12: for the Monday Night football game and the Jaguars game.

2758
02:00:30,040 --> 02:00:31,360
Speaker 1: Later this week. Couldn't resist.

2759
02:00:31,440 --> 02:00:32,920
Speaker 8: So two games in six days.

2760
02:00:33,160 --> 02:00:36,080
Speaker 2: So I have to ask when you booked this travel

2761
02:00:36,360 --> 02:00:39,840
Speaker 2: a month ago, Lucas. Yeah, things are looking a little different.

2762
02:00:40,720 --> 02:00:44,120
Speaker 2: So how do you feel about Philip Rivers being brought

2763
02:00:44,200 --> 02:00:46,440
Speaker 2: in and trying to save the season.

2764
02:00:46,600 --> 02:00:48,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, I'm going to be completely honest. I was

2765
02:00:49,080 --> 02:00:51,640
Speaker 12: very excited when I saw that Rivers was going to

2766
02:00:51,680 --> 02:00:56,080
Speaker 12: get signed because I became a Colts fan in twenty nineteen. Actually,

2767
02:00:56,160 --> 02:00:59,200
Speaker 12: I became a Colts fan on the day Andrew Luck retired.

2768
02:01:00,160 --> 02:01:02,360
Speaker 2: Oh you are a true fan. Yeah, I remember this story.

2769
02:01:02,440 --> 02:01:03,960
Speaker 2: You shared this in februc.

2770
02:01:04,000 --> 02:01:05,600
Speaker 8: Can you explain this because there are a lot of

2771
02:01:05,680 --> 02:01:07,440
Speaker 8: Colts fans that think that's when you became a fan.

2772
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:10,080
Speaker 2: Do we need to play you Luck?

2773
02:01:10,280 --> 02:01:11,320
Speaker 1: So share this?

2774
02:01:11,640 --> 02:01:11,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2775
02:01:12,200 --> 02:01:13,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, I sort of feel like I'm the problem with

2776
02:01:13,800 --> 02:01:14,560
Speaker 12: that at that point.

2777
02:01:14,680 --> 02:01:15,560
Speaker 1: But yeah.

2778
02:01:15,640 --> 02:01:18,000
Speaker 12: So the day I arrived for my exchange year, and

2779
02:01:18,560 --> 02:01:22,080
Speaker 12: that was in twenty nineteen, I knew already a lot

2780
02:01:22,120 --> 02:01:24,480
Speaker 12: about sports, but not necessarily about the NFL. But then

2781
02:01:24,520 --> 02:01:28,080
Speaker 12: we drove past Lucasohl Stadium from the airport. It's like, Oh,

2782
02:01:28,160 --> 02:01:30,200
Speaker 12: there's a stadium with my name on it. That's pretty cool.

2783
02:01:30,560 --> 02:01:32,560
Speaker 12: And at that moment as we drove past, we were

2784
02:01:32,600 --> 02:01:35,400
Speaker 12: listening to you know, the radio here and at the

2785
02:01:35,480 --> 02:01:37,720
Speaker 12: news broke that you know, Andrew Luck retired, and my

2786
02:01:37,840 --> 02:01:40,760
Speaker 12: host family, knowing about football, they were like, what's happening

2787
02:01:40,920 --> 02:01:43,480
Speaker 12: and you know, and then following the news later that day,

2788
02:01:43,920 --> 02:01:45,520
Speaker 12: I was like, Okay, I have to find out who

2789
02:01:45,640 --> 02:01:48,320
Speaker 12: is this guy and what's happening here and stayed on

2790
02:01:48,400 --> 02:01:50,800
Speaker 12: with the Colds ever since. So yeah, but to answer

2791
02:01:50,840 --> 02:01:53,760
Speaker 12: your question, you know, a year after that, of course,

2792
02:01:54,240 --> 02:01:56,280
Speaker 12: if Phil Rivers came in and that's still the only

2793
02:01:56,320 --> 02:01:59,840
Speaker 12: playoff game I've seen him play being a fan, so yeah,

2794
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:01,840
Speaker 12: I mean that's for me. I don't really pick any

2795
02:02:01,880 --> 02:02:04,320
Speaker 12: favorite players, but that was if I have to say,

2796
02:02:04,600 --> 02:02:07,360
Speaker 12: a fun Colts quarterback I've seen play as of being

2797
02:02:07,400 --> 02:02:09,640
Speaker 12: a fan, Yeah, I'm excited to see Rivers in person.

2798
02:02:09,720 --> 02:02:10,080
Speaker 9: This time.

2799
02:02:10,240 --> 02:02:12,800
Speaker 8: That is Lucas from the Netherlands. He's over here to

2800
02:02:12,920 --> 02:02:14,640
Speaker 8: take in a couple of Colts games. Have you been

2801
02:02:14,720 --> 02:02:16,680
Speaker 8: inside of look Asso stated for a Colts game yet.

2802
02:02:17,160 --> 02:02:18,880
Speaker 12: I've been back in twos and twenty two, yes, for

2803
02:02:19,040 --> 02:02:21,280
Speaker 12: the Commander's Game, got It, which was a different season

2804
02:02:21,320 --> 02:02:23,680
Speaker 12: as well, but well different.

2805
02:02:23,480 --> 02:02:25,760
Speaker 2: As an understatement, brother, but yes, it was very was

2806
02:02:25,800 --> 02:02:26,560
Speaker 2: that Taylor Heineke?

2807
02:02:26,880 --> 02:02:30,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, and that was when the McLaurin caught that touchdown pass,

2808
02:02:31,600 --> 02:02:32,160
Speaker 12: So yeah.

2809
02:02:32,120 --> 02:02:32,760
Speaker 8: That was Ellinger.

2810
02:02:32,840 --> 02:02:35,120
Speaker 2: I think that was an Allan play that game too. Yeah,

2811
02:02:35,280 --> 02:02:37,560
Speaker 2: that was a Jeff. That wasn't a Jeff Saturday special,

2812
02:02:37,640 --> 02:02:37,960
Speaker 2: not yet.

2813
02:02:38,120 --> 02:02:39,800
Speaker 8: Lucas made me to put you on the JumboTron or

2814
02:02:39,840 --> 02:02:42,640
Speaker 8: something on on Monday night here for some of what

2815
02:02:42,800 --> 02:02:43,480
Speaker 8: you've seen here.

2816
02:02:44,040 --> 02:02:46,200
Speaker 2: And you were at the game over in Hell. You

2817
02:02:46,240 --> 02:02:47,800
Speaker 2: saw the last Colts win, right, you were at the

2818
02:02:47,840 --> 02:02:49,120
Speaker 2: game in Germany early correct?

2819
02:02:49,480 --> 02:02:51,120
Speaker 8: What did you think of that experience? Did you go

2820
02:02:51,120 --> 02:02:52,360
Speaker 8: to the Frankfurt game the year prior?

2821
02:02:52,440 --> 02:02:53,920
Speaker 12: I did go to the Frankfurt game in twos and

2822
02:02:53,960 --> 02:02:55,560
Speaker 12: twenty three, yes, and what do you think of.

2823
02:02:55,680 --> 02:02:58,440
Speaker 8: Just Frankfurt Berlin? Obviously that was a super entertaining game

2824
02:02:58,800 --> 02:02:59,560
Speaker 8: and Falcons.

2825
02:02:59,280 --> 02:03:01,560
Speaker 12: Well, and obviously we were the home team in Berlin

2826
02:03:01,880 --> 02:03:04,520
Speaker 12: on paper, right, so that way the Colts were able

2827
02:03:04,560 --> 02:03:07,440
Speaker 12: to do something more marketing being the home team having.

2828
02:03:07,320 --> 02:03:10,240
Speaker 2: A bigger fan, So yeah, I noticed that was that

2829
02:03:10,440 --> 02:03:10,760
Speaker 2: was great.

2830
02:03:10,840 --> 02:03:13,840
Speaker 12: So speaking of you know, fan experience wise, Berlin was

2831
02:03:13,920 --> 02:03:17,839
Speaker 12: definitely greater as in they were both fantastic, but Berlin

2832
02:03:17,960 --> 02:03:20,600
Speaker 12: was bigger, was better, and we sort of got to

2833
02:03:20,680 --> 02:03:24,160
Speaker 12: know each other, our European fans from Germany, from England

2834
02:03:25,480 --> 02:03:27,360
Speaker 12: and we got to know each other and Frankfurt, but

2835
02:03:27,480 --> 02:03:30,040
Speaker 12: then we stayed in touch over a huge group chat

2836
02:03:30,160 --> 02:03:33,240
Speaker 12: we have in our Blue Crew Europe. They're listening right now,

2837
02:03:33,360 --> 02:03:34,160
Speaker 12: so shout out to them.

2838
02:03:34,320 --> 02:03:35,960
Speaker 8: Shout out to the Blue Crew in Europe. I think

2839
02:03:35,960 --> 02:03:38,120
Speaker 8: I hopped on one of the podcasts with Yeah exactly

2840
02:03:38,280 --> 02:03:39,120
Speaker 8: right before the game.

2841
02:03:39,120 --> 02:03:41,280
Speaker 12: And Yeah, So we sort of stayed in touch with

2842
02:03:41,360 --> 02:03:43,680
Speaker 12: each other, and then that that Berlin game sort of

2843
02:03:43,720 --> 02:03:46,200
Speaker 12: felt like a reunion and I feel like there's going

2844
02:03:46,240 --> 02:03:48,280
Speaker 12: to be a lot more of those in the future

2845
02:03:48,320 --> 02:03:51,480
Speaker 12: when the Colts might come to Germany again in the future.

2846
02:03:51,880 --> 02:03:52,560
Speaker 2: I've said this before.

2847
02:03:52,560 --> 02:03:54,120
Speaker 8: I'm not saying this because you're sitting next to me,

2848
02:03:54,240 --> 02:03:56,520
Speaker 8: but I am a fan of the International Games. I

2849
02:03:56,560 --> 02:03:58,640
Speaker 8: think it's a great exposure. I went to the Colts

2850
02:03:58,720 --> 02:04:02,280
Speaker 8: game in Wembley back in sixteen and it was awesome

2851
02:04:02,360 --> 02:04:05,680
Speaker 8: to see, you know, just how much joy Frankly was

2852
02:04:05,720 --> 02:04:08,640
Speaker 8: there by once in a lifetime for some people, certainly

2853
02:04:08,680 --> 02:04:11,440
Speaker 8: you know. Bernard Rayman shared the story about his NFL

2854
02:04:11,560 --> 02:04:14,280
Speaker 8: career or NFL dreams, I should say, really kind of

2855
02:04:14,640 --> 02:04:16,879
Speaker 8: took off once he went to one of those international

2856
02:04:16,960 --> 02:04:21,760
Speaker 8: series games. If I gave you three European series, three

2857
02:04:21,960 --> 02:04:25,440
Speaker 8: European cities, I would say, don't be biased, but I

2858
02:04:25,520 --> 02:04:27,200
Speaker 8: know you might be a little biased to your homeland.

2859
02:04:27,600 --> 02:04:30,240
Speaker 8: Three European cities that the NFL has yet to go

2860
02:04:30,440 --> 02:04:33,120
Speaker 8: to that you would like to see them go to

2861
02:04:33,320 --> 02:04:35,880
Speaker 8: what would be your three and make it somewhat realistic here,

2862
02:04:36,080 --> 02:04:38,200
Speaker 8: make it somewhat realist, not like you know, we're.

2863
02:04:38,040 --> 02:04:40,400
Speaker 2: Talking about the Beech Grove Bears all morning long, or

2864
02:04:41,000 --> 02:04:45,160
Speaker 2: you know, Lebanon Bears here, So being realistic. Let's see.

2865
02:04:45,840 --> 02:04:49,000
Speaker 12: I think Paris is one is high on our list,

2866
02:04:49,320 --> 02:04:51,760
Speaker 12: you know, if you have to believe rumors on social media.

2867
02:04:52,120 --> 02:04:54,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and don't worry, Lucas. I'll relate as message

2868
02:04:54,880 --> 02:04:57,480
Speaker 2: to carl As Gordon. Get it all square away for

2869
02:04:57,600 --> 02:04:59,880
Speaker 2: my next colts travel but continue and we can't have

2870
02:05:00,080 --> 02:05:02,360
Speaker 2: game in France. So yeah, so Paris on there all right?

2871
02:05:02,360 --> 02:05:04,680
Speaker 12: But yeah, if you read on the internet that supposedly

2872
02:05:04,760 --> 02:05:07,080
Speaker 12: that's going to happen very soon. So we'll see if

2873
02:05:07,120 --> 02:05:10,280
Speaker 12: that is that there's any truth to that they're also

2874
02:05:10,320 --> 02:05:12,760
Speaker 12: going to their fan base in in Spain. Of course,

2875
02:05:12,760 --> 02:05:15,080
Speaker 12: we had the Madrid game between the Dolphins and the

2876
02:05:15,120 --> 02:05:19,480
Speaker 12: Commanders earlier this year, and they're building some fantastic stadiums there.

2877
02:05:20,120 --> 02:05:23,640
Speaker 12: They're the Barcelona still Stadium is still under construction, but

2878
02:05:23,760 --> 02:05:26,280
Speaker 12: I think once that's finished that might do a Barcelona

2879
02:05:26,400 --> 02:05:29,600
Speaker 12: game as well. So we'll put Barcelona into well, and

2880
02:05:29,800 --> 02:05:35,560
Speaker 12: then my book, James, you know, if this one might

2881
02:05:35,600 --> 02:05:38,440
Speaker 12: be not as objective as the others, but let's put

2882
02:05:38,480 --> 02:05:41,600
Speaker 12: Amsterdam just you know, if we can play in Frankfurt,

2883
02:05:41,720 --> 02:05:42,720
Speaker 12: we can play in Amsterdam.

2884
02:05:43,600 --> 02:05:46,280
Speaker 8: What is the biggest stadium in Amsterdam?

2885
02:05:46,400 --> 02:05:46,520
Speaker 12: Is it?

2886
02:05:46,640 --> 02:05:48,320
Speaker 8: I mean, I guess the Frankfurt stadium was only what

2887
02:05:48,480 --> 02:05:49,320
Speaker 8: like forty thousand people.

2888
02:05:49,480 --> 02:05:51,920
Speaker 12: Frankfurt is fifty thousand seats.

2889
02:05:51,960 --> 02:05:53,840
Speaker 2: Does Amsterdam have a city or a stadium that's that

2890
02:05:53,880 --> 02:05:54,240
Speaker 2: big area.

2891
02:05:54,320 --> 02:05:56,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, Amsterdam, being the capital of the Netherlands, has the

2892
02:05:56,960 --> 02:06:00,320
Speaker 12: biggest stadium sixty thousand people. So you know, you can't

2893
02:06:00,320 --> 02:06:02,200
Speaker 12: play in Frankfurt. You can't do it in Amsterdam. I

2894
02:06:02,280 --> 02:06:05,000
Speaker 12: do think you have to. You know, there'll be more

2895
02:06:05,040 --> 02:06:11,600
Speaker 12: interactional people coming there, like you know, like people people

2896
02:06:11,680 --> 02:06:15,720
Speaker 12: from for like England and Germany traveling in or if

2897
02:06:15,760 --> 02:06:17,320
Speaker 12: you sent one of the big teams over like the

2898
02:06:17,400 --> 02:06:21,200
Speaker 12: chief sort of Patriots, you might sell it out. But yeah,

2899
02:06:21,280 --> 02:06:22,480
Speaker 12: hopefully one day Amsterdam.

2900
02:06:22,600 --> 02:06:24,800
Speaker 8: Well, if you guys run into Lucas this weekend or

2901
02:06:25,040 --> 02:06:28,160
Speaker 8: certainly next Sunday at the Jacksonville game, definitely he.

2902
02:06:28,240 --> 02:06:30,280
Speaker 2: Does own his stadium, by the way, he does own

2903
02:06:30,280 --> 02:06:32,760
Speaker 2: the stadium after him, you've got we'll pay your respects.

2904
02:06:33,640 --> 02:06:35,520
Speaker 2: You see these things he made us three D printing

2905
02:06:35,840 --> 02:06:37,640
Speaker 2: the fan little coaster area.

2906
02:06:38,280 --> 02:06:38,720
Speaker 4: I love this.

2907
02:06:38,880 --> 02:06:40,720
Speaker 8: This is when he said he did some three D printing.

2908
02:06:40,720 --> 02:06:42,680
Speaker 8: I was curious if we could get Daniel Jones another

2909
02:06:42,760 --> 02:06:45,760
Speaker 8: cast here for the old. Achille said Lucas, thanks man,

2910
