Speaker 1: be listening, whatever platform. Thanks for making us part of

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: your day. There are some things that are absolutely true.

13
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: It just takes a while to prove them and people

14
00:00:52,760 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: will push back. But some things definitively they're obvious. But

15
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: we're not comfortable just saying something that is definitively proof

16
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: over time, absolutely factual. The NFL is a big man's game.

17
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: So Nick Sarajani's the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. They're

18
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: in a losing streak and Jalen Hurts is struggling and

19
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: Nick Sarianni on WIP Radio in Philadelphia was asked about

20
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: replacing him. Is there a possibility later this season if

21
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 1: he continues to struggle, that you can make a change

22
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: at the quarterback's bock.

23
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 3: No, I think that's ridiculous, you know, I think you know,

24
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts. I know every time I go out in

25
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 3: that field with Jalen Hurts as our quarterback, we have

26
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 3: a chance to win the game. And that's you know,

27
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: that's that's something that's been proven. Every time I walk

28
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 3: out on that field and Jalen Hurts as a starting quarterback,

29
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: I have so much confidence that we can win every

30
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 3: game and in any game that we play and that

31
00:01:59,640 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: we're in.

32
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, except for the last three or four, which you

33
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: keep losing. The truth is, the more Jalen Hurts throws

34
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: the worst, Philadelphia is the Those are the facts. If

35
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: he throws over thirty times, they're not very good. So

36
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you a list of current quarterbacks

37
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL that lead their division or are leading

38
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,239

00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: height doesn't matter go look at our graphic again of

70
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: first PLACE, Quarterbacks In the nfl JOSH, allen's gonna win

00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: o lines are massive average size six five and a

78
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: half to six. Six and a. Half look. For yourself

79
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: it's cluttered it's hard to See Well, what about baker mayfield,

80
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: smaller than i'd like throws, a lot of, picks some of,

81
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: them in, my, opinion over, compensation emotionally over compensation physically.

82
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: Trying to, make plays his body his arm. And HIS

83
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: vision can't so i WAS talking to that Gm Last.

84
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: Night about caleb williams not going, to get into details

85
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: but we got into. This discussion last night what in

86
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: the world do you do with a quarterback that is

87
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: completing fifty eight? Percent of his throws will? He, ever

88
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: get better. Well here's what's interesting if You look At

89
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: The bear's quarterback kleb, williams second year, stats this year's

90
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: Stats They're identical to josh allen's Second, year, stats in

91
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: buffalo identical both completing fifty eight percent of their throws,

92
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: with about twenty touchdowns, not that many picks and. They're

93
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: Winning A lot but josh allen has moved to seventy

94
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: percent this. Year in completion percentage one of my beliefs

95
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: because he's throwing to the tight. Ends more easier throws

96
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: They're receiving, group in buffalo stinks so he's not throwing

97
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: the ball down. The field as much his completion percentage

98
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: hasn't risen dramatically just. Because, He's more accurate no josh

99
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: throws to. The tight ends, more those. Are shorter easier,

100
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: THROWS the truth is i don't think completion percentage matters

101
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: as much a if You're wildly Athletic like caleb bo

102
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: Nix Is, really athletic josh allen or you're, on, your

103
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: rookie contract well? Why Would that Matter, because Denver and

104
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: Chicago bo nix and. Caleb have great Rosters Everybody's, talking

105
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: about ben Johnson Everybody's. Talking about caleb williams what's not

106
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: being discussed Is how stacked the bears roster is Because they're.

107
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: Not paying caleb anything they have the number three offensive

108
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: line of Thirty two teams the bears do and, Two

109
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: Of their Guys Drew, dolman and joe. Tooney are top

110
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: ten they're number one In Takeaways With Two pro Bowlers Kevin.

111
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: Byard and jalen johnson montez sweat eight, and a half

112
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: sacks TOP. Twelve in the nfl they're, number two in,

113
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: rushing two excellent backs and a multitude of really good.

114
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: Receivers and tight ends lost in The, conversation With. Bo

115
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: Nix and caleb The broncos and the bears rosters with

116
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: two brilliant. Offensive coaches are loaded, so generally in life the,

117
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: more money you make the more mistakes you. Can make WITH, money,

118
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: in the nfl well the less money you, make as

119
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: a quarterback the less perfect. You, Have to be now caleb's.

120
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: Great On third down bow nicks is great, in the

121
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: fourth quarter but. They're wildly and uneven you're allowed to

122
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: be when you're, on your rookie contract have an offensive

123
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: coach and a really really. Above Average In athleticism so

124
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: caleb williams on, third down is outstanding, and, he's obviously.

125
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: Coachable durable and athletic. I'm good with that now he's

126
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna win, a lot of games And so is bo

127
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: nicks until perhaps they. Get the big contract But Everybody

128
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: looks at, JOSH, allen, and goes. O hey so accurate

129
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: now do you think it's a coincidence he has. His

130
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: worst receiving corps he's throwing more underneath and more. Often

131
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: The tight ends josh allen is, still, all, about power horsepower.

132
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: Running leaping over People We don't think. Josh allen hyper

133
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: accurate we think. Of THE dynamic Athleticism so I think

134
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: caleb bo nicks athleticism to some degree in your rookie contract.

135
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: TRUMPS all, the accuracy i Mean ask Yourself what bow

136
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: and caleb. Have done this year. Look at their? Records

137
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: what are they twenty and six and. Neither one's terribly

138
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: accurate it tells you how good the coaches, and the

139
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: rosters are which, you get away with we're not. Paying

140
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback ANYTHING this is what rg three about a

141
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: Week Ago said about. Caleb williams completion percentage, accuracy is.

142
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 4: A myth all right accuracy to me is always dependent

143
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 4: upon where the defense is and what you're trying to get.

144
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 4: The receiver TO do so where i think his sixty

145
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 4: one percent completion percentage comes from is more so the

146
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 4: fact that he is willing to take more chances to,

147
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 4: have big plays occur which drives. Down his completion percentage

148
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 4: do you want a guy that's going To. Be a

149
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 4: checkdown charlie do you want a guy that is not

150
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 4: going to take those risks deep down the field because he's.

151
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 4: AFRAID to make mistakes i Don't Think that's. Who caleb williams.

152
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: Is we also have A topic today and i HAVE

153
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: said this That I Believe the los angeles dodgers are

237
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: I like the dodgers it's not just, they're, good at. Drafting,

280
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: State could do that So my take was i'm not into.

281
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: The small SCHOOL stuff but mostly i thought the committee

282
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: got it, right in The. END did you.

283
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 7: Yeah i didn't complain about. The rankings at all ninety

284
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 7: eight percent of my vitriol was. RESERVED for the process,

285
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 7: I wish you know, I, SAID this Morning Colin i

286
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 7: wish pete bavaqua Or Anybody banging the notre dame drum

287
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 7: would just stick. To the main argument if they could stick,

288
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 7: to the main argument. THEY'D get broad consensus i May

289
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 7: Disagree with a notre dame fan that they should have

290
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 7: gotten in versus. Shouldn't have gotten, in I'M with you

291
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 7: like i think the rankings are pretty much, what they

292
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 7: should BE absent in, the g five thing, which its

293
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 7: own conversation but the process. Was so screwed up, it

294
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 7: was so mangled and it really occurred to me at

295
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 7: the eleventh hour that the committee you Sort Of retroactively

296
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 7: had notre. Dame ranked too high they probably in, a

297
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 7: Knee jerk reaction bumped alabama Too low. After the oklahoma

298
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 7: laws they probably bumped my. Any way too low at the,

299
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 7: outset of the rankings they were all the, way DOWN

300
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 7: at eighteenth and i think they just kind of shook

301
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 7: the snow globe and hoped, everything would work Out and

302
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 7: it never, it never worked out and so they had

303
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 7: this mess in their lap. At The Eleventh, hour and

304
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 7: pete babaqua the one really really appreciate, thing that he

305
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 7: said which he, should have stuck to. Was we got

Speaker 1: State and Oregon State, we're in los angeles so there

320
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,840

327
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: said you know what if we could just be a little.

328
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: More like pro football the players are going. To get

329
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 1: paid anyway now, there's a transfer portal let's just kind

330
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: of pivot these big brands. INTO these big CONFERENCES i

331
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: THINK the nil and. I know, we all you know

332
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: if you Grow, up in The, SOUTH, You thought bama

333
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: lsu georgia Winning. EVERY year in clemson a, lot of

334
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: people did but you're a. Bigger picture macro guy my

335
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: take was it. WAS hurting the sport i think now, having,

336
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: two massive conferences, which By The way the big ten

337
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: brought it goes. Through three time zones it's not like It's.

338
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: ALL in the midwest i don't think the college football, has,

339
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: ever been, crazier whackier more discussed or. Better or more

340
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 1: diversified that's my view as Somebody who's from the. South

341
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: wants to dominate how do you feel? About the sport?

342
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 7: Now you, ARE right, growing, up I thought Hey if

343
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 7: Georgia and auburn and, alabama are doing good. The SPORT'S

344
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 7: doing good so i had a little bit. Of a

345
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 7: blind spot we are born without the rearview mirrors, even

346
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 7: on the car so you don't really know what's going.

347
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 7: ON outside of that, i will, say this you know

348
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 7: like my favorite Candy. Bar is Crunch bar so crunch

349
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 7: bar in my lifetime has been owned, by thirteen different

350
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 7: companies but the packaging has always looked the same and

351
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 7: the taste has, Always BEEN the same so i don't really.

352
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 7: Care WHO owns it and i really, think down the

353
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 7: road when this process IS complete of The Sec, and

354
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 7: the big ten gobbling up all of the value properties and.

355
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 7: Commodities In the sport what i'd really love to see

356
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 7: is an understanding that mega conferences have made a complete

357
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 7: mess of things, like conference championship.

358
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 5: Pictures but also scheduling it's.

359
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 7: So incongruent, right now and secondly the region within the

360
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 7: national scope of the sport is something we've. LOST a

361
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 7: little bit I Love if the big ten feels Like gobbling,

362
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 7: up the BIG twelve or the sec gobbles up WHAT'S.

363
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 7: Remaining of the acc if we're headed, Down that slope

364
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 7: anyway i'd love for us to slip pretty quick down

365
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 7: there and then redistribute the country up like. It USED

366
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 7: to look and i DON'T care if the pac twelve

367
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 7: is A Subsidiary. OF the big ten i DON'T care

368
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 7: if The acc or the big Twelve Or even.

369
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 5: The southwest conference is A.

370
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 7: Subsidiary OF the sec WHAT i love is i love

371
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 7: for the sport to get where, it's going and then

372
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 7: in a very very, ironic twist of fate sort of

373
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 7: resemble what it, used to look like where. Scheduling makes

374
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 7: more sense, our regionality still matters but it's just kind

375
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 7: of in a new.

376
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 5: World Order, OF regionality.

377
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: Fernando, mendoza i, don't, know, six'. Five humble grateful big

378
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: arm how shocked were you that he's the best player

379
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: on The Field, when they play Ohio State that, like

380
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: the penn state game he, makes all the big throws.

381
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: Not in A HOME game was the indiana, I said,

382
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: the other day i said it was hard to wrap

383
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: my Brain around that PERFORMANCE because i've had, a, Tv

384
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: my entire life like indiana football has. NEVER looked, like

385
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: that Ever i Mean even even colorado pre dion had a.

386
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: Couple of big time teams What Did you make of

387
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: indiana mendoza And Pushing at times pushing Ohio. State backwards

388
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: from THE.

389
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 7: Hoosiers i've owned a tv my whole life is just such.

390
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 7: A perfect synopsis of this I, too HAVE owned a

391
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 7: tv so i too am moderately To severely shocked by.

392
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 5: What sig has, done there and if anything last.

393
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 7: Year's performance was supposed to be sort of a one

394
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 7: and then back to earth and they've gotten better and

395
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 7: look they won. That game thirteen to ten, it got

396
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 7: a huge rating so a, LOT of, People watched it

397
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 7: i know but for, people who didn't watch, it, they

398
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 7: may be thinking oh it.

399
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 5: Was some mistake prone.

400
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 7: Like, snooze festive a game well it kind of may,

401
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 7: have PUT you to Sleep but i watched it colin

402
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 7: in the fourth, QUARTER and my mentality was i can't.

403
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 5: BELIEVE this is still close i can't believe this is.

404
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 7: Only a three Point, Game as far as mendoza i'm,

405
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 7: not comparing the two players, so please don't misunderstand me

406
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 7: but it feels to me Like A generation ago when Andrew. Luck,

407
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 7: was coming through stanford, again the talents aren't comparable but

408
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 7: he plays for a. Program YOU don't typically Watch, and

409
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 7: i remember with Luck People were hearing about andrew Luck Before.

410
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 7: They were, WATCHING andrew luck and similarly i think people

411
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 7: have heard A Lot about this This. Fernando mendoza kid

412
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 7: At indiana. They're, NOT watching indiana games well i. MEAN

413
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 7: the number of state a lot of people watched. That

414
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 7: game the other night and If You're not Familiar With
