Speaker 1: at winet dot com. Here we go entering week four,

51
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 1: mate of this, I think it actually might be week five,

52
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: isn't it. I'm gonna say four? All right, week four,

53
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: four or five, it doesn't matter, I said going in.

54
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: When I say they, I mean Jim Ursay Colt Chris Ballard,

55
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: the general manager, said Hey, we're gonna take our time

56
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: on this thing. Mate. Okay. So last week the Colts

57
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: hosted candidates for second interviews, and according to NFL rules,

58
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: the Cults are able to conduct interviews with candidates that

59
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: are coaching in the Super Bowl if those candidates previously

60
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: had at least one interview with the Colts prior to

61
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: last week. Now, Matt, if the coach want to hire

62
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: a coach that is playing in the Super Bowl, they're

63
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: not going to be able to do so, not even

64
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: talk about it until that game is over announcing yeah,

65
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 1: and that means the season is over, Matte, Should we

66
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: Colts fans, you know, all around the nation, especially here

67
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, should we start to worry that the Colts

68
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: are one of two teams that don't have a head

69
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: coach at I don't think so. I mean, like we

70
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: said last week, I still think the Colts are in

71
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: a good position to get the guide that they want,

72
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: that they covet. And like we heard Chris Ballard and

73
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: Jim Ursay say, the number one quality that they're in

74
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: search of in terms of the head coach is leadership.

75
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: And that takes time to identify, and it kind of

76
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: takes time to flush out how each guy would lead

77
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: and what they're looking for and how that would look like,

78
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: how that would translate to the team on the field

79
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: off the field. Now that being said, like we said

80
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: last week, the longer this goes, the more time other

81
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: teams have to assemble their stabs. Right, you're seeing coordinator

82
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: jobs getting filled by other teams that have already hired

83
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: their head coaches. Right, you saw a Giro Overro and

84
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: we know the Colts. Yeah, God signed to be the

85
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers, and we know the

86
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: Colts brought him in for an initial interview for their

87
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: head coaching position a couple of weeks ago. You're also

88
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: starting to see your existing staff dealing with the uncertainty

89
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: by taking jobs elsewhere. That's pretty normal. I mean this

90
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: week we saw Colts running backs coach Scotty Montgomery. Yeah,

91
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: it goes to Detroit. He becomes the assistant head coach,

92
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: you know, under Dan Campbell, to be also the running

93
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: backs coach for the Lions. So this is pretty normal.

94
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: And if you go back when Frank Reich replaced Chuck

95
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: Bagano back in twenty eighteen, I think only two out

96
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: of twenty two existing coaches were retained by Frank on

97
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: his staff. So again, whoever's hired to be the head

98
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: coach of the Colts is predominantly going to bring in

99
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: his guys and he's going to hire, you know, his coordinators.

100
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: So we'll see if the new head coach is interested

101
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: in keeping Gus Bradley as defensive coordinator and predominantly you know,

102
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: his staff of defensive coaches on that side of the ball.

103
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: That's something that's also in play as well. For sure.

104
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: I am the stick in the mud here on this podcast,

105
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: and let me explain on that. I'm the no fun

106
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: guy because by NFL rules and by Colts in house rules,

107
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: I can't talk to you guys about candidates. I can't

108
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: talk to our audience about candidates. It's just we're following

109
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: the rules. It's what we're doing. The national media picks

110
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: it up and stuff, but we're staying in our lane.

111
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to get dingmed with any fines or anything.

112
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: I really don't, So I'm sorry about that. That's what

113
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But you know, we talked about the Super

114
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: Bowl and the hiring and stuff like that. So the

115
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: puzzle continues to be pieced together. We're gonna find out

116
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: more latest with it. May take any advantage, any advantage

117
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: in this whole thing of just sitting back waiting hiring

118
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: your guy. We know about staffs getting filled out right

119
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: now than the candidate pool for coordinators and quality control

120
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: and wide receivers coaches, etc. It goes down and down.

121
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: Any advantages to waiting down this long, well, I think

122
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: the biggest advantages you just make sure you get it right.

123
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: I mean so many times once the season is over,

124
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: you see all the teams that have head coaching vacancies.

125
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: It's it's almost you try to hire the hot name

126
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: or the biggest marquee name right away so that you're

127
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: the first one to get that guy in and you

128
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: you have the the perceived great higher and the most

129
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: coveted coach and you can start to fill out your

130
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: staff the fastest. But you know, the Colts are being

131
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: thorough all right, there's no doubt about that, and they

132
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: want to have an open mind again about what leadership

133
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: looks like going forward, what the foundation of this team

134
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: is going to look like. How are they going to

135
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: build an offense? You know, what would they do at

136
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback position? How would you know? These head coaches

137
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: conduct practices and training camps and things like that. So

138
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: the advantages that you're making sure you take time to

139
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: get it right so that you set yourself up for

140
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: success hopefully you know, for the next five to ten

141
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: years if you get this higher right. So if you

142
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: think about it, and we're gonna talk to Judy about

143
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: this in just a handful of minutes. But the Colts

144
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: have to hire or make two enormous decisions in a

145
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: span of just a couple of weeks a couple of months.

146
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: They first have to hire the head coach, who again

147
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: is hopefully going to be here for the next five

148
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: to ten years, and then the quarterback too, if they

149
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: decided to go that route in the draft, picking fourth

150
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: in the first round. So those are two enormous decisions

151
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: the Cults are gonna have to make this upcoming off season.

152
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: So it's it's all about getting the foundational success right

153
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: for this team to act as a launching pad now

154
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: going forward. They're taking their time. Ballard spoke of it, said, hey,

155
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: we made that bring this scene after the super Bowl.

156
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: It may long into that. Are wind into that length

157
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: of a search I expect, though in this I have

158
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: no insider information, right, just going along with what you said.

159
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: Can't certain things you can't talk about, but I can't

160
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: talk about my gut. Yeah, go ahead, My gut says

161
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: we'll have a head coach next week following the super Bowl.

162
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: Following the super Bowl, that's you. I do think you'll

163
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: have an announcement next week. You're also your gut also

164

Speaker 1: next week's show, at this time, we'll have a lot

171
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: more to talk about. Perhaps maybe hey, right, but perhaps

172
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: like you said, I think, yeah, if you guys are

00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the upcoming super Bowl. Mattey, I

176
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: want to dash this on you really quick. Oh. I

177
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: saw the Monday night Super Bowl, the media event that

178
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: went on, okay in Arizona, when they fill almost the

179
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: whole stadium. Here's what I say, Man good on the NFL,

180
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: I was working at it last night. Fans up in

181
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: the stands like they're watching a game, but not only that,

182
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: they get to see these A list players, They get

183
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: to see guys they've never seen their face before because

184
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: they've been wearing helmets the whole time. And it was awesome.

185
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it really was awesome. If you're a football

186
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: fan and you're up there and you're sitting in the stands.

187
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: I love that the NFL is the biggest game in town.

188
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: That they can literally sell tickets and Philli Stadium for

189
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: guys talk for a press conference for yeah, multiple press

190
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: confer multiple. I know. It's like the comic Con of NFL, right,

191
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: because you have you have all the great one how

192
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: do I put this lightly, you have all of the

193
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: non football interests, you know, competing at the same time,

194
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: like people dressed up as Spider Man and green Man.

195
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: And I didn't watch a lot of it because you've

196
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: sort of seen that song and dance before. But but

197
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: that's right, that's kind of what it is. It's comic

198
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: con of the NFL. I love it, and we are

199
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: in season, but this thing's three sixty five twenty four

200
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: seven with the NFL. They do the same thing with

201
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: the draft, right, we're going all different cities and such,

202
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,599
Speaker 1: the combine down the road. We hate to see it

203
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: leave Indianapolis, but that's gonna be juice. But it's not

204
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 1: yet right. Yeah, they'll keep rebetting, and my guess is

205
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: Indianapolis will keep making that same logical, common sense push

206
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: so they always make. And you talk to all the

207
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: football you know, NFL insiders, they're like, why would you

208
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: ever move this? No one wants it to move. Why

209
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: are we even talking about it moving? And cooler heads

210
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: tend to prevail on the almighty dollar and you know,

211
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: keeping it sensical in Indianapolis. Absolutely, so we hope that

212
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: the combine sticks here. But again, the NFL doing what

213
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: is right. I think the next thing we're gonna see

214
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: is offseason hard knocks, coaching staffs and stuff like that

215
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: may take I'm serious, Yes, I'm serious, Like you know,

216
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: cameras everywhere in this league, just to get the word

217
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: out Gray, make it the global sport that you know,

218
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: these guys that run the NFL want this thing bigger

219
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: than worldwide than soccer. Let's go take a minute for that.

220
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: That's kind of like what with the next pick is

221
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: though right to a certain degree, with what the Colts

222
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: do in house, with the video production following the draft

223
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: and all the moving and shaking leading up to it,

224
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: especially this draft with the Colts picking number four overall

225
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: and right now number maybe going QB right right now,

226
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: number four. Is there a Monni Hall future, Chris, I'm saying, hey,

227
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna move up. I'm gonna move back to find out.

228
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna find out more. Absolutely may take good stuff.

229
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: Love talking to you. Let's sit down with Judy Battista.

230
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna welcome in the legendary Judy from NFL

231
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: dot com, longtime writer for the New York Times. When

232
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: you cover the NFL for as long as you have,

233
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: you become legendary. So congratulations, or you just become old,

234
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: which I also okay, see Jeff Resolve, but it's not legendary. Yeah,

235
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: that's it. I'm old, but I'm minus the legendary. Judi

236
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: Batista joins us here. I know we got a lot

237
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: to go over to Colt's head coaching search. Obviously the

238
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: big game coming up on Sunday in Arizona. But you

239
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: have spent some time at the Pro Bowl in Las Vegas,

240
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: and a couple of things that I was reading on

241
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: your social media about that is safety becomes a factor

242
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Did you see any correlation with the

243
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: way that they were running the NFL Pro Bowl this

244
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: year and possible changes into the rules of the NFL

245
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: current NFL due to safety. I thought that what they

246
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: did with the Pro Bowl this year that was really interesting,

247
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: like you know, playing sort of the flag football game

248
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: and then the sort of skills competitions. I thought that

249
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: was a good way of getting like competition in without hitting.

250
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: And I thought the you know, look, I thought the

251
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: flag football stuff was especially compelling because the players were

252
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: pretty competitive. I mean, I would you know, like you

253
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: saw receivers sort of diving football and things like that,

254
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: and I sort of wondered if they would do that.

255
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: It was actually more competitive than like the recent Pro

256
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: Bowls where they were playing what you know, football sum

257
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: So look, I don't know if any of that is

258
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: going to influence rules changes, but there's no question. I mean,

259
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, if the LEAD did a conference call on

260
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: their injury data only a few days ago talking about

261
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: potential rules changes, so certainly the move is to make

262
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: the game safer. They are pushing flag football for kids

263
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: m and that is certainly the way of the future. Hey,

264
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: I like seeing Peyton Manning barkett, some of his players

265
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: barket the referees and hey, I'm all for that. So

266
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: if we're gonna have flag football seventeen weeks year and

267
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: Manning's evolved, I'm in the fact that Peyton knew the

268
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: rules of flag football, surprise absolutely nobody. That's fun Yeah,

269
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: that's funny. We are talking to Judy Batis to hear Judy. Okay,

270
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: let's go into the Colt's head coaching search. What is

271
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: the national look into this organization as far as hiring

272
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: of this head coach? The way the past season has

273
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 1: gone down, and the amount of candidates at Indianapolis that

274
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: we have brought in this year. I know it's odd,

275
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: not a lot, not that in many number you don't

276
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: see year in and year out with head coaches search,

277
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: but this one is different. What is the national media

278
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: thinking about this search? I actually think that the national

279
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: media is not quite as turned off by the searches.

280
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: You might think, like I think it's good to take

281
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: your time on these searches, and I think in the

282
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: past teams have rushed through searches and that has resulted

283
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: in bad decisions being made. This is something that like

284
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: owners and the League office have talked about, like searve

285
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: trying to slow down the process, and it was something

286
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: that actually Dan Rooney in the late Dan Rooney used

287
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: to talk to his fellow owners about like what's the rush,

288
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: Like slow down and take your time and talk to

289
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: a wide variety of people. And so I think that

290
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: that's actually good. I mean, I think it's good to

291
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: see the Colts doing that. And you know, now they

292
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: are narrowing. You know, they're going to narrow the field

293
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: down and maybe bring people back in even for second

294
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: and even maybe third interviews. But that's good. I mean,

295
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: it is, you know, other than the quarterback decision, Like,

296
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: there's no bigger decision in a franchise, and so you've

297
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: got to get this right. And obviously this was a

298
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: very tumultuous season for the Cults, and so I think

299
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: sort of stepping back and taking a deep breath and

300
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: talking to a lot of people at picking their brains

301
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: about what they think about the roster and what they

302
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: think about, you know, who would be the quarterback going

303
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: forward and how would you proceed. I think that's all good.

304
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I think,

305
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, I think there's some curiosity about what the

306
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: final decision is going to be, though, no question about us.

307
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: You know, Judy, I'm not certainly not going to tell

308
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: you anything you don't know as far as this is concerned.

309
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: But I mean, if you look at the last couple

310
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: of years in the divisional round, the teams in the

311
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: playoffs that make it that far, I mean, they're traditionally

312
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: have been guided by offensive minded head coach, you know,

313
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: former offensive coordinators or guys that come from that background,

314
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: that side of the ball. Given where I've been asking everybody,

315
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, when we talk about the Colts coaching search,

316
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: just like throw it out there. I mean, when you

317
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: look at the success of teams in the NFL and

318
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: sort of what's winning and what's working in modern day

319
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: NFL football, Given where the Colts were at towards the

320
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: end of the season offensively, would you be surprised if

321
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: the Colts didn't hire a head coach with an offensive background,

322
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: given how they fell off towards the end of the

323
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: year on that side of the ball. Well, or I

324
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: would be surprised if they don't hire a coach who

325
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: has If it's a defensive coach who doesn't have a

326
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: very strong offensive coordinator, sure, and a very good offensive coordinator,

327
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: right it's got to be one of those two things. Look,

328
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: there's no question that the push over the last however

329
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: many years now has been toward offensive minded head coaches.

330
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: And I mean, just look at the last few teams

331
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: that we're standing right they, you know, the offensive coaches dominated.

332
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: Those are the two Super Bowl teams too. So yes,

333
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: I think that's important. But I you know, Jim or

334
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: say has a very strong idea of what his team needs.

335
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I know that there are caricatures

336
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: about Jim, but Jim is mostly an old school owner

337
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: who is m doesn't want to meddle in his football team.

338
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: And you know he followed like Wellington Mara and Dan

339
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: Rooney and those are the people who sort of mentored

340
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: him as he was coming up as an owner. And

341
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: so I would not be surprised if he hired, you know,

342
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: a coach who comes from the defensive side. I'm thinking,

343
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: for instance, like Oragey Mars. As long as in the

344
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: interview process, whoever that coaches has come with the idea

345
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: of this would be my offensive coordinator. This is what

346
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: we would do. You know, there's no question you need

347
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: that if you're a defensive coach. You know, I don't

348
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: discount any possibility, because I think Jim has a pretty

349
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: sort of broad world view of how the team runs

350
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: and that it doesn't just have to be an offensive

351
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: head coach, you know, and have that guy called the

352
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: plays as Judy Battista from NFL dot Com, Judy, I

353
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: want to talk about the Colt's first round draft choice

354
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: because I think that plays into this coach's higher quite

355
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: a bit. And we just heard Matt talking about the

356
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball and offensive coordinator. Hey, the

357
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: Cults are going to get one of those top three quarterbacks.

358
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: I mean, unless something happens, this team needs a quarterback.

359
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: How much does that come into play on the head

360
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: coaching search, keeping in mind that one of those three

361
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: four guys that they may have their eye on is

362
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: coming into this organization with as much responsibility as that

363
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: head coach higher. Yeah, no, there's no question that that's

364
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: got to be a part of a big part of

365
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: the you know, the time that they're spending with these

366
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: candidates is you know, who do you like in this draft?

367
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: What do you think, how would you build a team

368
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: around him? What you know, what would be your plan

369
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: for developing him? All of that, um so yes, that's

370
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: again like these are the two most important the cults

371
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: have to make the two most important decisions that you

372
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: can make in a franchise within this space of you know,

373
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: a few weeks of each other. I mean, you're going

374
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: to hire a coach and then you know, you start

375
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: the process and the draft is you know, April, so um,

376
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: you know that is absolutely a part of the interview

377
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: process and Jerry are going to delve into what do

378
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: you what do you want? Like what kind of quarterback

379
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: do you want? Right right? And Judy, you know, you've

380
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: known Jim Ursay a long time. I know that he

381
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: considers you a friend and have been you know, business

382
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: partners if you will, for a lot of years. When

383
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: that stuff happens with this year, especially with a new

384
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: head coach coming in and you talk about the owner medaling,

385
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: isn't that something that you've seen through your years covering

386
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: this league that sometimes the owners have to say, Hey,

387
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have the final decision if if we're grabbing

388
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: a quarterback that hopefully as a CEO for the next

389
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: twelve years from this organization, I'm gonna make the pick.

390
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: Do you think that's the way it is with Ursay

391
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: this year. I think Ursay has a lot of safe

392
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: in Chris Ballard and quick favorite reason I think that

393
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: is because he retained him, right, I mean, this year

394
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: was not good and Jim blew a lot of things up.

395
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: He did not blow up the general manager. So I

396
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: think he's got a lot of confidence in Chris Ballard's expertise.

397
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: Having sent that, I mean, Jim has spent a lot

398
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: of time around football, right, I mean literally since he

399
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: was a kid, he has been around the team. And again,

400
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, he was mentored by some of the stages

401
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: of the game, and those were men who were very

402
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: involved in the football decision. So suddenly it's Jim gonna

403
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: have to say, and who the quarterback is? There's no question,

404
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: I mean any owner would. I think there's a difference

405
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: between an owner saying I like this guy, and an owner,

406
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: you know, if he bots heads with his general manager,

407
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: like ordering the general manager to pick somebody, I don't know.

408
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: I think the hope is that Jim and Chris and

409
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: the other people in the building and certainly the new

410
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: head coach whoever it is, would be on the same page,

411
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: would come to an agreement about what the best choices.

412
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: That's Judy Batista with us Omness from NFL dot Com.

413
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: Last one for me, Judy on the Colts. I mean,

414
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: you see the two teams in the Super Bowl, right,

415
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: You've got fourteen and three Kansas City, fourteen in three Philadelphia.

416
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: The Colts played both of those teams this year in

417
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: the regular season. They beat the Chiefs, they should have

418
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: beaten the Eagles. Right, came close, let us slip away

419
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: there in the end. But right, you are what your

420
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: record says you are. The Colts were four twelve and one.

421
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: So again from your national point of view, in your perspective,

422
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: are the Colts close? Are they far away? Or is

423
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: it just too hard to tell? Because of what we

424
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: talked about earlier. You don't have the quarterback yet you

425
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: have to make the decision there. You still don't have

426
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: the head coach. What is your read on the Colts?

427
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: And you're far too early, you know, prognostications for twenty

428
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: twenty three as we sit here and talk, you know,

429
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: the week of the Super Bowl. Yeah, I don't think

430
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: they are as far away. First of all, that is

431
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: a winnable division. Let's be clear about that. Right now.

432
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: The Jack Warres certainly appear to be a team on

433
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: the rise in Trevor Lawrence is a quarterback of the future,

434
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: So they're going to be a problem. But that division

435
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: is winnable and has been winnable for years basically since

436
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: Peyton left, So I don't think they're that far on

437
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: that so much. But I mean, there's there's no way

438
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: to say what it's going to be because you don't

439
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: have a you don't know who the quarterback is going

440
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: to be, you don't know who the head coach is

441
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: going to be, you don't know what kind of system there,

442
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: you don't know what other players they're going to require

443
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: in the offseason. So there's a lot unknown here to,

444
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: you know, to sort of categorize where I think the

445
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: Cults are going to sit in UM. But you know, again,

446
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: I think that division is open, and so I don't

447
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: think that you necessarily look at this and say like, oh,

448
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: this is another this is gonna be another four win season.

449
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: I don't think that's necessarily so also, because the Colts

450
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: were close, as you pointed out, you know, they were

451
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: close on some of those games. So yes, you are,

452
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: what's your record says you are, But like they may

453
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: not have been as bad as a four win team.

454
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: That's true, Judy Battista joins us. Judy. In the past week,

455
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: we've seen Tom Brady retire, and you know, the national

456
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: and local and everybody in New England and Tampa considered

457
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: there'll never be another one. There'll never be another one

458
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady. And I agree with that. But boy,

459
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: oh boy, we got this kid in Kansas City under

460
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: Andy Reid's wing. He's showing up at super Bowl after

461
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: super Bowl. He's setting records. I'm just saying, with Tom

462
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: Brady on the way out, we can talk about him

463
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: till we're blue in the face. And how Brady is?

464
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: Is he the heir apparent? And I'm talking about Patrick

465
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: Mahomes And does he have the same sort of caliber

466
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: or same sort of channel that Brady had to win

467
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: the Super Bowls Amana did? And is he on that

468
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: run right now? Are we looking at the next great

469
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: quarterback that goes down in history as one two behind Brady? Well,

470
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: I think he certainly has a potential. Is he gonna

471
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: win seven Super Bowls? I mean that, you know, unfathomable.

472
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: I mean Brady went to ten Super Bowls. That's just crazy.

473
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: A crazy number. So will he do that? I don't know,

474
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 1: But like he and Tom Brady, meaning Mahomes and Tom

475
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: Brady are the only two quarterbacks who went to three

476
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: Super Bowls in their first six seasons in the NFL,

477
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: So he's on that pace. The push is can he

478
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: maintain that pace? That's what was so crazy about the

479
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: Patriots and Brady as they maintained it. I certainly think

480
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: Mahomes can can keep getting there as long as he's

481
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: with Andy Reidon. You know, Andy's sixty four. I think

482
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: it's though and showing absolutely no signs of wanting to retire.

483
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: And I was talking to Steve Mariucchi from the NFL

484
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: net work, who is still very close to Andy Reid,

485
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: and he said, like, you know, you'd have to have

486
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: your head examine to break that up. Like Andy's not

487
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 1: walking away from that quarterback anytime soon. So certainly, I mean,

488
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question Mahomes is the best

489
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: quarterback in the game right now and will be for

490
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: quite a while. I think he's got and I think

491
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: what's really good. Just as Brady had Peyton pushing him,

492
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: it's fairly obvious that Joe Burrow is a superstar and

493
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen is a superstar. And so at least

494
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: in the AFC, you've got three guys who are probably

495
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: going to keep pushing each other. What I think, you

496
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: know is interesting is can they get in the Chiefs way?

497
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: Because for so long the Patriots dominated the AFC. And

498
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: that's what was so I think impressive about about Brady

499
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: is how many like AFC Championship games they went to

500
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,719
Speaker 1: in a row. It was something like eight, I think,

501
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: which is nuts. Um, So can the Chiefs keep doing that?

502
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,719
Speaker 1: You know that? I mean, you know, the Bengals are

503
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: going to be in the way. It seems pretty obvious

504
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: the Bengals are going to be in the way. The

505
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: Bills will be in the way, So they might actually

506
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: have a harder road than the Patriots did for all

507
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: those years. But certainly Mahomes is I mean, he's clearly

508
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: the best quarterback of the game right now and and

509
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: dazzling like in a way that you know, Brady was

510
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: very good at carving up the defenses intellectually. What Mahomes

511
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: is so compelling about is he matches that with just

512
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: the insane physical gifts right, the improvisation that is so

513
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: fun to watch. Well, that question final final thing here

514
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: with Judy Batista columnists from NFL dot Com. I did

515
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: not realize Nick Sirianni was on the Chief's staff in

516
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: twenty twelve as a wide receivers coach the year before

517
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: Andy Reid was hired, and Andy Reid did not retain

518
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni to stay Chiefs. I did not realize. So

519
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: that's sort of Judy that that qualifies as like an

520
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: under the radar, sneaky good storyline going into the Super Bowl.

521
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: For you, what's another good storyline that you're tracking and

522
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: you're writing about this week? Well, I mean this is

523
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: not an under the radar one. But the fact that

524
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: Andy has had such a significant influence on both of

525
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,959
Speaker 1: these franchises. I mean last week Jason Kelsey the All

526
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: Pro Center in Philadelphia said, like, the winning culture that

527
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: is still in place in Philadelphia is still what Andy

528
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: Reid put in place, right, Like, there're still guys there,

529
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: including Kelsey, who would grasped by Andy Reids. They're the

530
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: ones who set the culture there. So the fact that

531
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: he Andy got both of these teams to four straight

532
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: conference championship games is wild, and I think that's sort

533
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: of an underappreciated part of Andy Reid's resume, So that

534
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: I think is interesting, like Andy facing his whole team,

535
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: enough for the revenge factor, but just the incredible influence

536
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: he had in Philadelphia and how much respect they still

537
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: have for him there. They obviously don't want him to

538
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: win this week, but you know he is still beloved

539
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, Yeah, for sure. And trading away the video

540
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: game known as Tyreek Hill and still ending up in

541
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: the super Bowl and getting a haul for that and

542
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: getting a bounty for that. As far as draft choices

543
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: go and players and whatnot. So yeah, and he's doing

544
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: something good. Okay, we're gonna let you go. I know.

545
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: I love to end with my yes or no segment

546
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: with you national writer. So I got two yes or

547
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: no questions for you. It's pretty easy, Judy. Are you ready?

548
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: Does Aaron Rodgers play quarterback in Green Bay next season?

549
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: Yes or no? No? Oh, I love it. Last one?

550
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: Does Lamar Jackson play quarterback in Baltimore next year? Yes

551
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: or no? Yes? There it is, we got one no one. Yes,

552
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: we do that with the great and legendary Judy Batista.

Speaker 1: Thank you, Carl. The NFL off season for the coaches

596
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: in full sway. There's a lot of decisions that need

597
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: to be made regarding the head coach, free agency, and

598
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: the possibility of drafting a quarterback with the fourth overall pick.

599
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: Let's lay out some scenarios behind three doors today, just

600
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: like they did on the old game show. Let's make

601
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: a deal. Do you guys remember it? Monty Hall, No,

602
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: too young for that, geez. How about Wayne Rooney? What's

603
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: the guy's name? Wayne the soccer player? What's the guy?

604
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: Isn't it Let's make a deal on in the mornings?

605
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:13,840

Speaker 1: about with Wayne Brady? I don't know the one with

610
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: Wayne Rooney though that I can't move off that next

611
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,239
Speaker 1: shot behind doleful Wayne Rooney? Can we double back? Can

612
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,959
Speaker 1: we double back to debt? Though? Yeah? How long were

613
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: you on debt? Like? Minutes? Yeah? Minutes, seven minutes. There

614
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: was an old game show hosted by Wink Martindale. We

615
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: brought that up a couple of weeks ago because he

616
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: was one of the coaching candidates. Still is probi Yeah,

617
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: so I'm saying, like Wink Martindale, we got talking. I

618
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: went on the game show called Debt and I said, yeah,

619
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: it was a fertilizer salesman makes my credit reek you

620
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: could go up to win like ten grand or something,

621
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: and that they wrote that line for you, right. Oh,

622
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: I wrote that fertilizer salesman is uh. It was for

623
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: the people that were watching out there because fertilizer salesman.

624
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: My dad used to say, Son, you sound like a

625
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: salesman with a mouthful of samples. So that went into

626
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: fertilizer salesman. That's all that did. I had no big

627
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: Larry Gorman if anyone missed it too. If you go

628
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: back and you listen to that, that opened to this

629
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: when Jeffrey says flying and then it's incorrect and you

630
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: get ah, and then the audience goes oh. My brother

631
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: was in the audience and a guy named who I've

632
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: talked to in years, named John Bonds, and they hooted me,

633
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: they hauled me. They had me walking boot my own Entourage. Yeah,

634
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: but yes, I was the first one off the show.

635
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: And I think it was Melrose Place trivia that did

636
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: me in or something from way back in the day.

637
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: But a little heather, we're talking early, early in the

638
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: mid nineties. Yeah, you guys were still at your middle

639
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: school recesses and I was trying to I was trying

640
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: to win money. Yeah, cartons of milk. I think that's

641
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: what it was. Okay, time to play. Let's make a deal.

642
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lay out some scenarios, guys, behind three doors,

643
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: just like the old game show. We talked about it.

644
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: The grand prize of this game show is the Colts

645
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: getting back to the playoffs in twenty twenty three. Which

646
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: scenario has the givens that best puts the Colts in

647
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: a position to return to the postseason next year? Are

648
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: we all on the same page? That is the grand prize?

649
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: All right, JJ Stankovics. You were picked randomly out of

650
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: a hat. You get to go first. You pick a door,

651
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: door number one, door number two, or door number three.

652
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: I want door number one, Door number one. What do

653
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: we got in door number one? Hold on a minute, now,

654
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna go into Lara Overton she is going to

655
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: pick a door. Lara, we have scenario we have door

656
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: excuse me, one, two and three. JJ pick door one

657
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: one dollar, Bob one dollar. Wait, wait, that's a different show.

658
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: That's a different, different game show. Okay, sech a re group.

659
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: Going back to my middle school six days, you know

660
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: I did stay at home and watch a little Bob Barker.

661
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with scenario number two. So Jeffrey Lara

662
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: over ten picks number two. Okay, JJ stankovits door number one, Lara,

663
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: door number two. Now let's unveil the door number three,

664
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: the one that you did not pick. The Colts will

665
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: hire a defensive minded coach. They will resign Yanik and Ghakway,

666
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: and they will retain Gus Bradley as defensive coordinator. I

667
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: don't hate some aspects of that right there. What do

668
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: you think? There are some strong options right there. I

669
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: do like them. The path of retaining Gusky, building off

670
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: the success that that defense was able to have and

671
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: the consistency with which they played in twenty twenty two,

672
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: I like that. I like the idea of hiring the

673
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: right defensive coach, Okay, who can bring in the the

674
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: culture that I think this team needs. This team still

675
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: has good players on it. Let's not forget that they

676
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: went four twelve and one. They're good players on this team,

677
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: Guys who maybe didn't play up to their level that

678
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: they believe they should have played at in twenty twenty two.

679
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: One of those guys, you know, I think you look

680
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, a guy who admitted it is

681
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: Quintin Nelson that he needs to play and you know,

682
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: he said it starts with me. The offensive line improvements

683
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: start with me, and I think he will work on

684
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 1: that on his own. But even a defensive minded coach

685
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 1: could have a positive impact on the entire team, including

686
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: the offensive line, if you come in and establish the

687
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: right culture here. Lara and Ghakway, you like that that scenario,

688
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: gush Bradley back. I do. I thought that Unique showed

689
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: you everything that you were hoping to get when you

690
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: made that trade last year. He was a force on

691
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: the edge. Unfortunate that, of course, had the injury toward

692
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: the end of the year. If you're talking about how

693
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard prioritizes and he loves to build in the trenches,

694
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: he loves to have those factors, I do like it.

695
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: I am intrigued though to see the development from some

696
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: of your young guys Quittipay and Dio Dang, but were

697
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: very strong to finish off the year. So I do

698
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: think that you could potentially get great production out of

699
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: those guys if the price tag is just too big

700
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: to bring back a guy like Niken Gockway, because we

701
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: know that edge rushers do command big dollars on the

702
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: open market. That was the door that they didn't pick. Again,

703
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 1: the Colts hire defensive minded coach, resigning Gockway and retain

704
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley as defensive coordinator. Now it's time to unveil

705
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: jj Stakov. It's you picked door number one. Are you ready?

706
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: Let's go. The Colts hire a head coach with an

707
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: offensive background and draft a quarterback with the fourth overall pick. Congratulations,

708
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: Is that way you think is the easiest way to

709
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: the playoffs. We're gonna find out, La. It's your turn.

710
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: You pick door number two. The Colts draft a quarterback

711
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: with the fourth overall pick and sign a top receiver

712
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: on the open market in free agency. That is behind

713
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: door number two. Sexy little scenario, right that. Let's discuss.

714
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: Let's discuss who got the best of this ground. I got,

715
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: I got the best one here. Look at look at

716
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: the four teams that made the championship round this year.

717
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: Go on. They all are teams with offensive coaches and

718
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: who drafted quarterbacks in the first round, second round or

719
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: but I guess brock Purty was mister irrelevant. But they

720
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: all are offensive coaches with young quarterbacks who were draft picks.

721
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: And I mean the Niners drafted Trey Lance. I don't

722
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: think they expected brock Purty to play this year. Um,

723
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: the party didn't expect brock Party. But they all had

724
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: similar that those two things are similar lines you could

725
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: draw between the forty nine Ers, Eagles, Bengals, and Chiefs.

726
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: So I'm feeling pretty And Mahomes is like the oldest

727
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 1: quarterback of of that final four. Mahomes is not only

728
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: the oldest teams. Yeah, but look at Mahomes. Like watching

729
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: Mahomes in the AFC Championship on a bum ankle, but

730
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: the way that he was able to process and diagnose

731
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: things compared to where he was even that first AFC

732
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 1: Championship against the Patriots in twenty eighteen, where they took

733
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: him to overtime and they ultimately lost Mahomes is like

734
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: an infinitely better quarterback and infinitely smarter quarterback because he

735
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: has that experience. And you're gonna see that probably with

736
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts with Joe Burrow as their careers continue to ascend.

737
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: But those guys both have offensive minded head coach. Now,

738
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean the coach has to call plays, and

739
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: your Reid calls plays. Nick Siriani does not, But I

740
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 1: think that that offensive minded head coach. If you're looking

741
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: for the quickest fix with the fourth overall pick, I'm

742
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: feeling pretty good about my scenario. This is not an absolute,

743
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 1: but you're feeling like, all right, if you're gonna turn

744
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: over the rock and this is what it's gonna say,

745
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna feel pretty good about where you're at with

746
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: a high picked quarterback in an offensive minded head coach.

747
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: Larra Door number two, I like yours to be honest

748
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 1: with the cold straft. A quarterback with the fourth overall

749
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: pick sign a top receiver on the open market in

750
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: free agency, and I'm just gonna have to go to

751
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: the judges on this. Where's the head coach on that scenario?

752
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: Behind the door, it was an unknown, its unknown. I

753
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: talked to the producers before the show started. There was

754
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: only a handful of givens in each scenario. Got you

755
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor, by the way, one of the executive producers

756
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: behind this game. She'll appreciate it. Been on this game

757
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 1: show for a while. Then, Yeah, that's probably the best

758
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: rendition of it, to be honest with you, all right.

759
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: Scenario three, we talked about the coltsire defensive mind, a

760
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: head coach, resigning Gotkway and retain Gus Bradley as defensive coordinator.

761
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: Scenario one, JJ Stankovitz coltshire a head coach with an

762
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: offensive background and draft a quarterback. Lara sell me on

763
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: this one. The Colts draft a quarterback with the fourth

764
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: overall pick. They signed a top receiver on the open

765
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: market and free agency. Okay, the argument for this is,

766
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: look at the immediate impact that AJ Brown has had

767
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: on the Philadelphia Eagles with Jalen Hurts. Where would the

768
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: Eagles be without a J Brown? Where would Jalen hurtsby?

769
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: He can only do so much. You've got to give

770
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: him guys to throw the ball too. And you do

771
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: think that if you have a rookie quarterback coming in,

772
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: someone who has a veteran savvyness can be a huge

773
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: complementary piece to helping that guy progress and develop and

774
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: kind of skip a few phases, if you will, in

775
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: some of those perhaps rookie struggles when you have that

776
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: type of target on your hands. Now, the thing, the

777
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: factor about this though, to keep in mind is this

778
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: isn't exactly the most enticing open market in free agency

779
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: for wide receivers this offseason. Not an incredibly deep pool

780
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: that we are seeing right now. But there are some

781
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: names that you can look at that I think would

782
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: be enticing to potentially write that check to a guy

783
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: like Juju Smith Schuster, the Kansas City Show. There's another

784
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: free exactly absolutely, and they also they added Marquez Valdez

785
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: Scantlines also another one. When they lost Tyreek Hill, they

786
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: went out on the open market, spent some money. I mean,

787
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: another scenario to throw out to you in which this

788
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 1: has worked well Jacksonville. Look at the money they spent

789
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: on offensive targets to help Trevor Lawrence. Get kind of

790
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: chuck laughing now right right, Kirk's contract, We know, we

791
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: were kind of laughing about that. So do they people

792
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: ever call him captain? Captain Kirk? I think he's too

793
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: young for that. The probably do with Kirk Cousins. Oh So, Lara,

794
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: I like this scenario because, like you were talking about

795
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: the Jaalen Hurts and A J. Brown, I think sometimes

796
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: we try to we try to be too absolute when

797
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 1: we're having takes about these guys, like, well, Jalen Hurts,

798
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: he's fine, but a J. Brown really like, oh man,

799
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be the same without a J. Brown. But

800
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: I think they worked really well together because A J.

801
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: Brown unlocked Jalen Hurts ability to not only throw the

802
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: deep ball, which he's very good at, but to hit

803
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: some of those intermediate routes where we saw A J.

804
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: Brown how many times we seem to take a slant

805
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: and go fifty six yards unfortunately way too many times

806
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: when he was with the Tennessee te exactly. But he

807
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: he unlocked these two really important aspects of Jalen Hurts game.

808
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: We're now listening to something where Brian Johnson, their quarterback coach,

809
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: kind of bristled at the idea of jale and Hurts

810
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: being a dual threat quarterback. There's some negative connotations that

811
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: go with that, and he said, no, you're a triple threat. Quarterback.

812
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: You can win with your arm, you can win with

813
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: your legs, and you can win with your mind. And

814
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: I think adding a J. Brown has helped Jale and

815
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: Hurts accelerate that development in a really smart way. When

816
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: you add a top receiver. The point is it can

817
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: accelerate a quarterback's development because AJ Brown is always open.

818
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 1: He's literally that is his Twitter bio is. I think

819
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: it's like one k always open. He is never not open.

820
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: So as a quarterback, that's going to help you grow

821
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,240
Speaker 1: confidence in the offense, in the scheme, in your processing

822
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: ability when you have that guy. And it doesn't help

823
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: to have Devanta Smith on the other side too. Oh

824
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: oh boy, I gotta pick a winner here behind who's

825
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, who's in the driver's seat of this thing?

826
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 1: Give me a little music while with the first rendition

827
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 1: of let's make a deal. We have not had this before.

828
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, there's history being made on

829
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,760
Speaker 1: this show. Matt Taylor. We have a tie for first.

830
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, yes, everybody gets the trophy. But

831
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: I like scenario one. I like scenario two, and again

832
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: the grand prize is the Colts getting back to the playoffs. Actually,

833
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: I could see all three of these scenarios and then

834
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: with yeah, they're way back to the playoffs. Especially what

835
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: they all if they all I kind of have one

836
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: common denominator and there might be a mixture of all

837
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: three of them. Is a new quarterback in this offense,

838
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: right is the ultimate thing. So that's gonna get you

839
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: to the NFL. Hey, I don't care what path do

840
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: you take. Just get there, like that's my thing. I

841
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 1: don't need to win my take on this one. I

842
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: just want to see it happen. Like you're talking about

843
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: getting back to the postseason next year. I just want

844
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: to tell I don't have any consolation prizes for this

845
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: game show. But Matt Taylor, this is a true story.

846
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: When I was on DEBT. When I was on Debt, okay,

847
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: they sent me a plastic piggy bank because that's that's

848
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: the kind of the uh it's on the it was

849
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: on the commercial for the show and stuff like that. Debt.

850
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,439
Speaker 1: They gave me that one and a Belours wet suit.

851
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 1: No I don't have it. Literally, a sweatsuit. It came

852
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: in the mail. They said, give me your size, we

853
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: send you a sweatsuit. It was VLU. It was awesome.

854
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: You didn't have like this the show logo on it

855
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: or nothing. It was just like, you know, it's like

856
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: a knockoff Italian thing and it stripes down the leg striped,

857
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 1: but it was it was dark gray, so it was

858
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: almost black. Never did make fun of it for a

859
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: while and probably pitched it to good will. But that

860
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 1: is how we do. Let's make a deal. I'm gonna

861
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: play that game again. Well done, mate, say well done? Uh,

862
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: and again we do that participation today. The super Bowl

863
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: is upon us. I don't know if we talked about

864
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: it at length last show, but I have a definite

865
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: I have a concrete winner for you all, concrete. I've

866
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 1: been been doing my evaluation and I've got on the

867
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: phone and I've talked to Philadelphia and I talked to

868
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: Kansas City, and I'm gonna go into this. We've got

869
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: some best bets coming up, not bet not overall bets,

870
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: I mean those you know, hook them bets, nothing like that.

871
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: But we got some all time grades coming up. But

872
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk to you about that. First.

873
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: Kansas City, folks. Kansas City has what it takes and

874
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: will slow down the Nick Sirianni train in the Super Bowl.

875
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm putting that down right now. If you don't agree

876
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: with me, you can find me at Hey Gorman on

877
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: Twitter May Take Colts. Also on Twitter at Lara Overton

878
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: at JJ stink if it's at may Take Colts. But

879
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 1: I'm telling you guys right now, I can't bet on

880
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: it because I'm in the NFL. But if I could

881
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: it it'd be a mortgage bet. Wow? Would that result

882
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: on you again appearing on the game show death? I

883
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 1: don't know football there? It is Kansas City, guys. I'm

884
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: just sorry. There's too much going on right now. The

885
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: mystique of Andy Reid, the freshness of Nick Sirianni, the

886
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: freshness of Jalen Hurts. It's the old Schoollyard bully. They

887
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: have been there for years and now they got the

888
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 1: new kid on the black trying to knock them off.

889
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, guys, it ain't happening super Bowls in five years? Right?

890
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 1: How about? By the way, one of the first things

891
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: Andy Reid did upon getting to Kansas City fire rip

892
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni from the coaching Nick Sirianni said it. He

893
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: was like, I'd be lying if I didn't have a

894
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: chip on my shoulder about that, Like, of course you do,

895
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: all right. So Nick Sirianni is the type of guy

896
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 1: who has a chip on his shoulder about just about everything.

897
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: Like there is something that happened to Nick Sirianni in

898
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: high school that he's still carrying with him. Did you

899
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: see his parents interviewed after the NFC Championship and they

900
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: were talking about they were interviewed by local station and

901
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: his mom was like, yeah, he was pretty cocky as

902
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: a kid, and it's just hilarious, Like wasn't always the

903
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: best liked by the opposing teams when he was growing

904
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: up playing football? There All right, here we go, super

905
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,479
Speaker 1: Bowl Best and good job Nick Sirianni, Good job Andy Reid.

906
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: I think both of those guys will be around for

907
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: a while. Andy Reid walk in Hall of Famer when

908
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: it's all said and done. I want to talk about

909
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,399
Speaker 1: some Super Bowl best right now? Okay, best? Who did

910
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: it best at the Super Bowl? I'll always go over

911
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: this every year we do these podcasts, and I'm sticking

912
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: to this. I believe that the Three Stooges were one

913
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: of the first acts at the time of the first

914
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and I'd like Casey Valley when he gets

915
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 1: a minute to look that up. I swear to got

916
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty nine or seven. I think it was

917
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: the Three Stooges. No, it was like a marching band

918
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 1: or a guypes dot com false. Oh really they literally

919
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 1: there literally is a fact check. Did the Three Stooges

920
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: perform during the first Super Bowl halftime show? Go on down,

921
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: there's a big X false. Why did you think? Why

922
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:26,919
Speaker 1: did you think that? I've just been on that tip

923
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: for about ten years old. That's the most benign conspiracy

924
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: theory ever. Though, What are the other things that Jeffreys

925
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: believed for entirely too long that we can disprove on

926
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: this podcast? The first Super Bowl halftime show, fans were

927
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: treated to the spectacle of three hundred pigeons performances by

928
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: the University of Arizona and Grambling State marching bands in

929
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: a flying demonstration from the Bell Air Rocketmen. Yeah, He's like, yeah,

930
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: he's gotten a rocket ship or something, right, That's what

931
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 1: I remember. Well, I keep reading, remember when you watch

932
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: the NFL, But I'm scrolling down from a book and

933
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: Larry Fine in his autobiography, and Larry is Larry the

934
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: guy with the hair and the Three Stooges wrote that

935
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: he was part of that first act, So I mean,

936
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 1: come on, guys, yeah, but it wasn't a Three Stooges.

937
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: This is a very long explanation of why the Three

938
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: Stooges did not perform at Super Bowl one. Here we go.

939
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: You can google it if you want. I can't read

940
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 1: you the whole thing. It's we're gonna get. We're gonna

941
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,760
Speaker 1: give me the go ahead on that one. And because

942
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: of the controversy with Larry Fine, I'm right in this.

943
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and give me the w on that.

944
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: Come on, Lara, here we go. Who's saying the best

945
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl national anthem? There's only one, So go ahead,

946
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 1: you can say it. The Queen. That's it. White track suits,

947
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 1: white headbands, Whitney Houston, not overly produced, not overly orchestrated,

948
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: the purity of the voice. May we have a minute?

949
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: Right in the backdrop you got the start of the

950
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: Persian Gulf War. And I could not agree with you more.

951
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: And Lara, I mean, this is the simplicity of this

952
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: is what makes it great. Plus the voice and the performance.

953
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if you ever go to a like a

954
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,919
Speaker 1: Wednesday night jav basketball game or like a Saturday morning

955
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: c yo. Because that this is the this is the version.

958
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: this great basketball game one. Growing up, I heard this

959
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: before a contest, maybe hundred times. What a song bird? Yeah,

960
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: this is that watched it before this podcast. This is

961
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: the unbelievable. And I had had the opposite. I had

962
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 1: made a watching Roseanne Bars podcast, which is like our

968
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: God bless you man. Super Bowl, it's not her fault,

969
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: it's whoever felt. I was almost listening to this podcast

970
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: like two times of speed. That sounds that was the case.

971
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's go who had the best halftime show performance? Mate,

976
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: you had the fallout and the overreaction from the Justin

984
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,120

985

Speaker 1: Nothing comes close to it. You're out in La. It's

989
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: the first super Bowl. It's so fi it was so

990
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: California and so West Coast, and it was those guys

991
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: doing it as good as they were doing it twenty

992
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: five years ago. Like they are proved. They're still in

993

1001
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: That's awesome. I was bumping those songs all year because

1002
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl all the way to June. And by

1003
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: the way, doctor Dre like has a Lifetime Award named

1004
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: after him at the Grammys now or something. Hey, how

1005
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: many how many Super Bowls have you been to? Oh?

1006
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,760
Speaker 1: Half a dozen? Okay? How how different is the halftime

1007
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: show in person versus what we see on television? I

1008
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: enjoyed from the TV. I mean, I just do it better, no,

1009
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: because I mean like when I saw Prince I was

1010
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: up in you know, in the not in the nosebleeds,

1011
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: but we were up watching the show, which was great.

1012
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I was looking up at

1013
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: the monitors more than I was, you know, looking at

1014
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 1: this thing. To watch it and the rain was coming down.

1015
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 1: It was incredible. And also also with the Who when

1016
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: we get when the Saints beat us, I mean that

1017
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: that was pretty cool. We ended up going to the uh.

1018
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: I'm privy to that one because we ended up getting

1019
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: in with Ursay to go watch sound check the day

1020
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: before with the Who at the stadium. So it was

1021
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 1: really cool that way. I mean a special memory on

1022
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 1: that seeing these legends up there. But all right, I'm

1023
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: agreeing with everybody. There is no disagreement because they're not

1024
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 1: out in Rihanna really quick, Rihanna this year along with you. Oh,

1025
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: Jeffrey was not here. Jeffrey was not here. From my

1026
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: rant on this and every oh man, I have like predictions,

1027
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: like very strong predictions. I don't want to take up

1028
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: any more time, but you and I we can have

1029
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: a debrief session on exactly what I think is going

1030
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 1: as long as I ain't they good diamond like a diamond,

1031
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 1: Oh my god. But you're saying, who's coming out with her? Yeah,

1032
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: I think I think Drake Ye. So Drake, Okay, here's

1033
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: like a little Easterke here bring it out. So Drake

1034
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 1: Drake just released an NFL collab his line is Ovo,

1035
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: and there's an Ovo NFL collab that just launched last week.

1036
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 1: I think that that is a little hint that he

1037
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 1: could make an appearance because he and Rihanna have so

1038
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: many evic songs together, so I think maybe we get

1039
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: a little drizzy out there Drake. Okay, Yeah, there's a

1040
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: lot of words that I don't understand because I got

1041
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: that email from NFL Communications about Drake's uh, you know,

1042
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 1: clothing brand partnering with the NFL, and I'm like, well,

1043
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 1: he's definitely showing up the super Bowl now in one

1044
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:01,919
Speaker 1: of those jackets. I've seen DJ colle It at every celebration,

1045
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: I mean from gardening to barbecues to everything, so he's

1046
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,840
Speaker 1: probably gonna is all he does his win, That's what

1047
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean. So DJ colle It will probably be there, right.

1048
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: I kind of think Calvin Harris, former wide receiver with

1049
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 1: the Cowboys first way back in the day, that's way back.

1050
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: Look that up. I think I got that pass complete

1051
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: to number eleven, Calvin Harris. Alvin Harris, here's an end

1052
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: around to Calvin Harris. All right, how about this one, guys?

1053
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: We can go back to this well really quick. The

1054
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 1: most exciting play. Think about this, you're a kid, you're

1055
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: in your your teens, you're on whatever, whenever it is.

1056
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: Give me the most exciting play in Super Bowl history

1057
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: to me, David Tyree's helmet catch the Giants over the Patriots. Yes, right,

1058
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 1: that's what. I also think that that was like a

1059
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: pivotal time for me when I actually like really started

1060
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: to be locked in and I was watching like football,

1061
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: and you know, it was at that point where I

1062
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: was a total junkie and was totally in on this

1063
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 1: even though Colts weren't in it. But I'm heavily invested

1064
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: because now I'm rooting for Eli because you know, God

1065
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: forbid the Patriots win, right, So now I'm invested because

1066
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 1: of that, I'm super locked in. That was just one

1067
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,359
Speaker 1: of those moments where I'm like, that was that will

1068
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: never be done again, right, that situation? So I have

1069
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: two and I thought Lara was gonna go with the

1070
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: Philly Special, so I had a backup that was mine.

1071
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 1: So okay, he goes the most exciting play, entertaining play,

1072
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: It was the Philly Special? Do you take the Philly Special? Mattake,

1073
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, folks here, no, I grew up in Chicago,

1074
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: so we had a big Super Bowl party for the

1075
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: Colts Bear Super Bowl. Everyone's over in my parents' basement

1076
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: and yeah, and my dad had just bought a brand

1077
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 1: new HD HDTV. It was like, all right, Bears are

1078
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,839
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, We're getting an HDTV And Hester

1079
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 1: takes that kickback places up for grabs and it went

1080
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:55,800
Speaker 1: downhill from there, I would say it was it was like,

1081
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 1: you know, a strong peak and then a steady downhill

1082
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 1: for the rest of the game. And at the end

1083
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: of the night, you know, everyone's filing out, Oh it's

1084
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, and my grandpa goes to my dad,

1085
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: he pats him on the shoulder, goes, well, it was

1086
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:13,319

1091
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: I mean that was kind of fun so well, and

1092
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:28,720
Speaker 1: one of the first ones I thought of was Hester.

1093
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: And I'm on the flip side of that. But you

1094
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: talk about exciting, you're like let's go. You're like big,

1099
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 1: of them. I love it. There's so many picked. I mean,

1100
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 1: we could have some listeners that are out there, like

1101
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: the Lynn Swan catch and stuff like that, like that

1102
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,120

1103
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: and the NFL once again is king. Okay, I've got

1104
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: a ramdum thought of the week. It's boring. It's nothing big.

1105
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 1: There was there was one that I was gonna say about.

1106
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say a statement and then have my

1107
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: random thought like when you say, uh, a classic movie

1108
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: of all time, like, uh, you know, give me, give

1109
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: me a class Godfather. I haven't seen the Godfather? Why really?

1110
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 1: See see That's what I'm saying like that, like I've

1111
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: seen the Godfather. But my point is what I'm trying

1112
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: to say. It's like, hey, Hives, like, uh uh, what

1113
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: was it? It's even a Paul Rudd movie or something

1114
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: you mentioned. It's like, oh, that sounds funny. I've never

1115
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,720
Speaker 1: seen it. You've never seen it. You've never seen clue,

1116
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? Where I stop your steps

1117
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: right now, look at me in the eye. You've never

1118
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 1: seen it. Like those type of people. That's one of

1119
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: my random thoughts. But it doesn't hold any juices. It's

1120
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: fallen apart in front of me right now. But that's

1121
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: one of my random people. Don't enjoy when people do

1122
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: that to you. That cost me because I haven't seen

1123
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: like And we have a lot of those moments kind

1124
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:56,879
Speaker 1: of within our department because we have such a great

1125
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 1: group that we all work with, and there's a lot

1126
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: of times that conversations like that. I'm not so I

1127
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: have those instances. I feel like all the time where

1128
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 1: we were sitting at lunch yesterday and I was just

1129
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: completely accosted because I didn't understand Yuker. I don't know,

1130
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: toy Uker, you don't know how like this that I'm like,

1131
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 1: it's so easy. Yeah, it's like, I'm not gonna I

1132
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: don't fight. You quit beating me. Yeah, I don't need

1133
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 1: to be bad. I haven't seen Schindler's List. I'm sorry,

1134
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: I just read Warren. I was just busy. I guess

1135
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 1: all right? From one two my random thought of the week,

1136
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: it was it's boring, and it was something that I

1137
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 1: got from social media. We can stick to Indiana, but

1138
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: I want to stick to National and JJ probably out

1139
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: of this. Um. I'm probably not in this because it's

1140
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: the best hamburger that you can get on site. I mean,

1141
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 1: that's it. Whether you're in Phoenix, whether you're in LA,

1142
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,439
Speaker 1: whether you're in Indianapolis on Mass Avenue, it doesn't matter.

1143
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: But there is a best hamburger out there working Man's Girl's,

1144
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: I mean something like that. That's a great burger. We

1145
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 1: can go local, but we we are. I'm going outside Nashville.

1146
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: The reason I say you may not be in there

1147
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: is because you're boiled beef tendencies as well as steamed ham.

1148
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: Actually that is. But I just want to throw it

1149
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 1: out to this group. If you're in Indiana or you're wherever,

1150
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 1: where are you getting the best burger on for for

1151
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 1: your buck? Not hey, it's a great deal, nothing like that.

1152
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: I want the best tasting thing that you put in

1153
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:19,959
Speaker 1: your mouth that's called a hamburger. Where is it? Guys?

1154
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: Demands so I can get it in Indianapolis, but I

1155
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 1: can get it, I'll have it to you from here

1156
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: at two o'clock type of the thing. What a deal.

1157
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: We'll fly it over private whatever. I'll have you the

1158
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: best hamburger. If you got to go to California for it,

1159
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: if you got to go to you know, whites Down

1160
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: for it, doesn't matter. It's just we're working Man's Friends

1161
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: is hands down, that is Tucker. So yeah, I was

1162
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 1: actually thinking about working Man's last night. I really was,

1163
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: because I was thinking about is there a day that

1164
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: I can call Tucker and get out of work a

1165
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 1: little bit early and tell them to meet me at

1166
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 1: working Man's and do like a late afternoon burger with

1167
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 1: the frosty chalice of beer you know next to it.

1168
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 1: Here's the key with you've got it. You've got to

1169
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 1: eliminate the middle bun. You just go straight meat on

1170
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: meat on the double checking out. You just tell them,

1171
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: you don't tell them no middle bun. Yeah, yeah, they'll

1172
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: do it. Yes, that's the pro tip right there. I'll

1173
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: also say this is super random. If you ever find

1174
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 1: yourself in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Fayetteville, there is a little kind

1175
