50
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: This cat is so interesting his vision for everything that

51
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 3: he did. It's happening this weekend. He's a president of

52

55
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: down at Lucas Oil.

56
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, the images are unbelievable. The pool at Lucas Oil

57
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: Stadium looks like it's meant to be there, Like Lucas

58
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: Oil Stadium was meant to be this gigantic natatorium mixty like.

59
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: That's how well it was put together. That's how good

60
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: the vision was back in twenty nineteen, twenty twenty when

61
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: this proposal came about, it is.

62
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: It's a great story.

63
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Patrick's gonna detail it. He's to get better than me,

64
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: but yeah, he's he's the spearhead of all of this

65
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 2: good vision.

66
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: Patrick, that's coming up, don't want to miss that. And

67
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 3: also Mayte, if you can. You always bring sizzle on

68
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: the games. I mean you always do bro best in

69
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 3: the business, But just give me a little sizzle right here.

70
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, we use the sizzle.

71
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: A couple of.

72
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: Going on with this.

73
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: Hey, the reason is is burning questions time. I've earning

74
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 3: questions time until we get to training camp and a

75
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: burning questions. We're gonna go through position groups tonight. It

76
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 3: starts with the quarterback, mate, and the first one right

77
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 3: out of the gate is obviously they're getting that good

78
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: quarters and that's not a Filet Mignon, but that's a

79
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 3: nice New York strip, good cut, mate, Anthony Richardson. When

80
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 3: you talk about it, Filet Mignon, that man when he's

81
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 3: on the field and healthy, is at Filet Mignon. Mayte.

82
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 3: Really tough question, but a simple one I present to

83
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: you is what are the cult staff doing to help

84
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson? Encourage Anthony Richardson to be in a healthy

85
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: state of mind? Obviously, but the body for seventeen weeks,

86
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: may Te, Is there anything that anyone can do on

87
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 3: this staff outside of Anthony Richardson as far as his

88
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 3: health goes? Well?

89
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: I think there they continue to be in his ear,

90
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: and they give him encouragement and they just they continue

91
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: to sell him on the fact that to a large degree,

92
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: in a teams go as far as their franchise quarterback

93
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: can take them all, right, and it's never about one guy, right,

94
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: It's a total team effort. Everybody understands that Anthony Richardson,

95
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: even though he's twenty two years old, he understands the

96
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: magnitude of the position that he plays, and he's got

97
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: the potential to take the Colts to big places. But

98
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: this season is going to be about how he uses

99
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: the lessons that he learned last year to his advantage. Right.

100
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: I think he's going to play smarter. I think he's

101
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: going to know when to push it, when to back off.

102
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: And I think that he knows he is really important

103
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: to the success of this team because of all the

104
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: different athletic dimensions he adds to this offense. I think

105
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: that he knows the weapons around him will reach their

106
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: full potential if he's available. I think that he is

107
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: a competitor and he wants to show the NFL what

108
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 2: he can do with the full season. But his health,

109
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 2: that shoulder, that durability heading into training camp, Jeffrey, that

110
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: is certainly top of mind.

111
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 3: That's Matt Taylor the Colts. This is the last word.

112
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: Ninety three five and one oh seven to five The

113
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: fan we are talking burning questions going up to training camp.

114
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 3: I need some sazel mate. We got number two.

115
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 2: Oh, here we go, Hey, Hey, here we go, says

116
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: Says says.

117
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 3: Oh okay. I've heard the word explosive and explosive miss

118
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 3: a lot this offseason coming from Shane Steichen and the

119
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: staff around Jim Bob Cooter. What is an explosive offense

120
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: for this Colts? And when you talk about that's a

121
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: dumb question, I know, but I want an answer because

122
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 3: through the draft alone, this team offensively, Yeah, they got

123
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: explosive with number ten that's now in this offense. And

124
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 3: of course i'm talking about Adi Mitchell. Yeah, well, is

125
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: that what you're talking about over the top? More more

126
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 3: bang bang plays, more eighty yard bombs or you mean

127
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: just score in three plays? Explosive?

128
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: Well, however it comes, the offense needs to be more explosive,

129
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: whether that's through the run or the pass. And I

130
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: think you're gonna see it both ways. I mean Richardson's

131
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: presence alone, that's going to add a ton of firepower

132
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,559
Speaker 2: to this offense because he can be a great running threat.

133
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: Like we said, read zone, read option RPO. Richardson and Taylor,

134
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: they're gonna be lethal in the running game. And then

135
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: if teams sell out to stop the run, that's where

136
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: the Colts have to show what they can do on

137
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: the outside. What they really couldn't do is create chunk

138
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: plays on the outside in the passing game. But get

139
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: the outside playmakers involved, then I think you got something.

140
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: Then you've got options right. Then you've got Joannie Woods.

141
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: Then you've got Alec Pierce ad Ni Mitchell, who looks

142
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 2: like an absolute steal in the draft because of what

143
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: he showed here in the spring. If all of those

144
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: things are working, then you're putting the defense into a

145
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: major bind. And if you can win on the outside,

146
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: it takes the pressure off of the running game. With

147
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: Taylor and Richardson, that's when Shane Steichen's creativity can really

148
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: start to shine.

149
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 3: Matt Taylor right their voice to the culture, going through

150
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: the Bernie questions leading you up to Colts training camp.

151
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco, Joe siff Flack. Oh, yes, I love it.

152
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 3: I love him more and more the longer ease here. Yeah,

153
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: obviously we saw the stretch he had last year with Cleveland.

154
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 3: Oh up there, he's in his upper thirties and stuff.

155
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: But Obviously, there's two sort of angles with Joe Flacco.

156
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 3: Number one legendary you know, super Bowl winning veteran quarterback

157
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 3: comes in, puts his arm around the young quarterback, guides

158
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 3: him along. There's that angle. Then there's like, hey, something

159
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: happens in this offense and he needs to get on

160
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: the field. I'm telling you that arm's popping. I just

161
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: watched him last week in the week before. My gosh,

162
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 3: you can throw the stinking ball out of the stadium.

163
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 3: I know that doesn't spell success just because it's a

164
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: strong arm. But Joe, I'll tell you what, He's had

165
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:26,679
Speaker 3: a hell of a spring.

166
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's no doubt about it. He's I think

167
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: he's perfect for where he is right now in his

168
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: career and what he's trying to do for Anthony Richardson.

169
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: Flacco's got this uncanny ability. I don't know if this

170
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: makes sense to you, but he's able to simplify the game.

171
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: I think that's what he's done well his entire career.

172
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: Read the defense, quick take what's given to you. Don't

173
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: over complicate the game, which is obviously easier said than

174
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: done considering all the quarterbacks have on their play. But

175
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: Joe does that part of the game really well, and

176
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: I think that's where he can help Anthony Richardson. Another part,

177
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: as you said, is that he he can help Anthony

178
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: understand sort of the anatomy of the deep ball time

179
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: situation of the game, because both quarterbacks throw a beautiful

180
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: deep ball and they those two guys believe in chunk plays.

181
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: And maybe that's part of the offense that Joe can

182
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: help grow Anthony's confidence in even more. But then I

183
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 2: think as far as Joe himself, he proved last year

184
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 2: he can still play. Like you said, I mean, he

185
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: was the comeback player of the year. He was literally

186
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: watching football for two thirds of the season on his

187
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: couch with his five kids before that phone rang and

188
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: Cleveland came calling, comes in and leads the Browns to

189
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 2: a four to one record through for over three hundred

190
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: yards in four straight games. But I still think here

191
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four, based on what we have seen

192
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: so far, he's gonna give the Cults a good chance

193
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 2: to win every game, just like Gardner Minshew did knock

194
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: on Wood if he's forced into Actually I had a chance.

195
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 3: To catch up with him last week with Casey Valie

196
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 3: for about fifteen minutes. It was amazing. He's a great guy.

197
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 3: But also he's a I don't give a flip guy.

198
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 3: He's got swagger, he's a veteran. He's like, hey, you've

199
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 3: you've seen what I can do on this game. I'm

200
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 3: gonna be ready when it's my time to go. I

201
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 3: love it. Colts fans are gonna be happy with Joe Flacco.

202
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 3: But that let's transition into the final burning question. Mate,

203
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: I don't need any sizzle for this one. Go ahead,

204
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 3: there it is, right, no burn it now?

205
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, series almost done?

206
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 3: But what about this quarterback competition? Obviously we're talking all

207
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: when you talk about the three quarterbacks and there Sam

208
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 3: Ellinger is definitely the guy that's holding down the third slot.

209
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 3: But what about that competition. You got a veteran like that,

210
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 3: you got a guy and the role of a backup quarterback.

211
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 3: What's your tag that in your career? Like we've seen

212
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: with Sam Ellinger, they keep bringing in quarterbacks and he

213
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 3: keeps hanging around hetey. Is that is that a competition

214
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: that we can look forward to or what what does

215
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: this scenario with this quarterback room look like? Yeah?

216
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: I think it's it's it's hard to think that, you know,

217
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl champion and somebody that's thrown for over

218
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: forty four thousand yards in their career is gonna be

219
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: a third string quarterback. But listen, I mean Sam Ellinger

220
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: is going into his fourth season and we we've seen

221
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: what Sam can do. Everybody here respects the heck out

222
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: of Sam Ellinger. He's the ultimate competitor. I mean every

223
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 2: time he's in the game, whether it's a preseason game

224
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: or a regular season game, he comes in and battles

225
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: his tail off and good things usually happen. So I

226
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: think you're gonna see Joe be the backup to start

227
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: camp obviously, and then you know Sam's been working out

228
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: with his throwing coaches again this summer like he has

229
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 2: the last couple of years, increasing that velocity, increasing that

230
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 2: that shoulder strength. But yeah, I mean, Sam Ellinger is

231
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: gonna battle for a roster spot again, contend to be

232
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: the practice squad quarterback. And again that's not sliding Sam

233
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: Ellinger at all. But you want, you want to tap

234
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: into all those resources to help Anthony res.

235
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 3: Yes saw Ellen or last night scoot around or last

236
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 3: week round of scooter around in the pocket against the

237
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 3: number one defense. Okay, that's what he does. Yeah, and

238
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 3: scoot around and boom, slip between two defenders. Right, great touchdown.

239
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 3: I forgot who caught it in the end, but and

240
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 3: again that was against the Colts number one d Colts fans,

Speaker 2: to thirty thousand for the first couple of nights for

00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 2: the finals, which would shaft or the previous world record.

282
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: And the spearhead of those organizing this massive event is

283
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 2: Patrick Talty, the president of the Indiana Sports Corp, who

284
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: joins US now. Patrick, really really appreciate your time. I

285
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: know how busy you are. You've been working on this

286
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 2: idea now for a really long time and it's finally here.

287
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 2: But this idea is certainly outside the box. So my

288
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: first question is when you saw the pool installed for

289
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: the first time, when you saw it come to life

290
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 2: at Lucas Oil Stadium and it's ready to go for

291
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: Olympic competition here, what did you think? What were your emotions?

292
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 4: It was everything and more of what I thought it

293
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 4: would be. I mean, it was I was blown away

294
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 4: how intimate it felt and how it just felt like

295
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 4: it fit, like it was built, that pool was built

296
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 4: for that stadium, That stadium was built to be an

297
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 4: aquatic center. I mean, it was amazing. It was everything

298
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 4: I thought it would be. And the icing on the

299
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 4: cake was the Blue Sea perfectly with the with the

300
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 4: USA team, So it was I think it was everything

301
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 4: I had hoped it would be. And I've thought about

302
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 4: this for quite a while and we've seen the renderings

303
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 4: and and I think it's success when the renderings, when

304
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 4: when it turns out to be even better than what

305
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 4: the renderings are, that is true success when when you're

306
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 4: when you're putting the event together.

307
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 2: Just how outside the box was this idea that that

308
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: you and Indiana sports Core Pat, I mean, why why

309
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: put an Olympic sized pool in NFL Stadium? And where

310
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: did the advent of that idea come from?

311
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 4: Yeah? You know the reason why we wanted to do

312
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 4: that is they had they had had swimming trials in

313
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 4: Omaha at an arena and they were selling out very quickly,

314
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 4: and we said, what better way to get more people

315
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 4: to have access to the sport of swimming and to

316
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 4: the event that is swimming trials than to put it

317
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 4: inside in an NFL Stadium and to grow the event

318
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 4: and give more people the opportunity need to get tickets

319
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 4: and experience it. And in Indye, we felt like, hey,

320
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 4: no better place than Lucas Oil Stadium to be the

321
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 4: first one to ever do that, because you know, we

322
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 4: like to be the first. We like to raise the

323
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 4: bar when we host these events. We want to do

324
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 4: things that are great for our community, and it was

325
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 4: one of those opportunities that we saw to really show

326
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 4: the world how different the Olympic Swimming Trials could be

327
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 4: and how our community embraces something like that. So when

328
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 4: we were thinking about it, you know, this was probably

329
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 4: probably in twenty nineteen ish, we started talking about it

330
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 4: and Scott Davidson from One America, who is our co

331
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 4: chair for the swimming trials, you know, started talking to

332
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 4: USA Swimming and started pitching the idea that we all

333
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 4: had about why not put inside Lucas Oil Stadium. And

334
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 4: so it was a long time in the making, and

335
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 4: we had to compete really hard against others cities Saint

336
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 4: Louis and Minneapolis and Omaha all wanted the Olympic Trials

337
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 4: for this year, and we had to work hard and

338
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 4: we had to really put a compelling bid together. But

339
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 4: we felt like we could. We could show swimming and

340
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 4: do some unique things in our community. The way our

341
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 4: community comes together and the way that we work together

342
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 4: to be able to show them, and we have a

343
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 4: perfect building for it, and we do so many unique

344
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 4: things in that stadium that I think it was like

345
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 4: it all came together perfectly as we were putting this together.

346
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 2: Patrick Talty is with us the president of the Indiana

347
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: Sports Corps. And like you said, Indianapolis continues to compete

348
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: with other cities for major events like this, and it

349
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: always continues to prove over and over again that it's

350
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: the best sports host city in the United States. I

351
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: mean it bears it out with Final Fours and NFL Combines,

352
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 2: Big Ten Tournaments, the Indy five hundred Colts, Pacers Fever,

353
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 2: the Indian Super Bowls College football title Game. You can

354
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: go on and on and on, Patrick, But but what

355
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 2: is the key or what continues to be the key

356
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 2: for Indianapolis to continue to outshine its competition and bring

357
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: in major events just like this.

358
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I am very vocal about. I

359
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 4: think we have three natural resources, and when we're competing

360
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 4: against other cities that other cities do not have. One

361
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 4: is our connected, walkable downtown campus. We have put together

362
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 4: a great package with an amazing stadium, Lucas Oil Stadium

363
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 4: that is blocks from our basketball arena, Gamebridgefield House, connected

364
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,239
Speaker 4: you know, via the Convention Center with you know, and

365
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 4: you can just you come into the award winning airport,

366
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 4: you drop your car off, and then you can walk

367
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 4: the rest of the time. And that is so great

368
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 4: for these events because you just immerse yourself in the event.

369
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 4: The second thing is who's your hospitality? It is real.

370
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 4: It is a real thing. I talk about it, I

371
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 4: talk and people will say to me when they leave,

372
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 4: oh my god, you were you were right. People are

373
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 4: just different. They are are nice. They care about these events.

374
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 4: They want these events to go well, so they immerse themselves.

375
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 4: They volunteer, they give their time, and they're just welcoming

376
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 4: and they make sure that people love Indie as much

377
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 4: as they do. And then the third piece is and

378
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 4: this is where I think is one of the secrets

379
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 4: that most people don't realize is we come together better

380
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 4: than any community to achieve these great things. And that's

381
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 4: everything from you know, the Colts and the Pacers, working together,

382
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 4: and you know, the mayor and the governor working together,

383
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 4: and it doesn't matter what side of the aisle you're from,

384
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 4: which what lack of life you're from, It does not

385
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 4: matter at all. In Indie. We come together and we

386
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 4: achieve great things because we care. And that is unique

387
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 4: for us, and I think it's something that a lot

388
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 4: of other cities they just don't understand and they can't

389
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 4: copy it, and they just that gives us a leg up.

390
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 4: And we compete against other cities for these events, There's no.

391
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: Doubt about that. Patrick Cult is with us, the president

392
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 2: of the Indiana Sports Corporate. How much do you enjoy

393
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 2: being the first on big ideas and big things like this?

394
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 2: I mean, outside the box thinking has always served Indianapolis. Well,

395
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 2: that's why the Cults are here. The super Bowl in

396
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: twenty twelve reset the bar I thought for future Super

397
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: Bowl host cities on what the new standard was. How

398
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 2: much do you enjoy not being afraid of big ideas

399
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 2: like this?

400
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 4: Oh? I love it. It's when we think about these

401
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 4: bids that we put out, we always talk about what

402
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 4: can we do to raise the bar? I mean I

403
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 4: love taking the opportunity to try to do something unique,

404
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 4: be the first to do it, because then everyone references, well,

405
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 4: when Indy did it, Yeah, such and such. You know

406
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 4: when in twenty twelve when Indy did the Super Bowl Village.

407
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 4: Now everyone does the super Bowl Village and it's part

408
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 4: of the bid. When you know, Indy does the swimming

409
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 4: trials inside a NFL stadium, Well, if we have it

410
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 4: back or if we don't, it'll always be well when

411
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 4: Indie did it in twenty four for the first time ever,

412
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 4: and that just like for me, I love being able

413
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 4: to check those boxes and saying that our community was

414
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 4: the first one ever and they could always always remember

415
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 4: that and be known for that. And I think it's

416
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 4: it's something that I personally get get so excited about

417
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 4: when we can show that to everyone and we can

418
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 4: talk about it for the community.

419
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 2: Patrick, you talked about the community support and the other

420
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: corporate support that you're getting from around town. What about

421
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 2: the Colts. What kind of help, if any, did you

422
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 2: get from the Colts. How did they help in this

423
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: process to land this huge event inside their facility if

424
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 2: you will, where they play eight home games a year

425
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: in the regular season.

426
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, the Colts are huge supporters of the community.

427
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 4: And I've worked in other NFL cities, and I will

428
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 4: tell you that I think the Colts are by far

429
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 4: the most community focused and help with these bids more

430
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 4: so than any other teams I've worked with. And when

431
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 4: you call up and say, hey, need access to premium spaces,

432
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 4: or we need help with this, or or you know, hey,

433
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 4: we need to be able to get some suites for

434
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 4: you know, people to use, the Cults are always like, sure,

435
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 4: we got it. You know, we're all over it. We're

436
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 4: going to help do that. And when we started bidding

437
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 4: on this, we talked a lot about we were going

438
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 4: to need help from you know, the Colts to be

439
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 4: able to really put this event on well in terms of, hey,

440
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 4: there are things in this bid that are outside the

441
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,959
Speaker 4: normal realm, whether it be you know, covering signage inside

442
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 4: the bowl, or providing access to some suites to be

443
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 4: able to take care of sponsors, things like that, and

444
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 4: they always step up, and they always say Yep, we

445
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 4: got it, and then and then they follow up with

446
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 4: not only once we secured event, then they follow up

447
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 4: with during the event. The Cults are centennial partnership where

448
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 4: they were one of the first to step up and say, hey,

449
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 4: we want to we want to celebrate that the Olympic

450
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 4: Swimming Trials was here in nineteen twenty four and now

451
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 4: it's here in twenty twenty four. And so they stepped

452
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 4: up as aneal sponsor and then they have done nothing

453
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 4: but push out ticket sale messages and drive you know,

454
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 4: the Colts fans to also be interested in swimming. And

455
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 4: then of course we had Blue was the first person

456
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 4: in the pool. So that was pretty damn.

457
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,479
Speaker 2: Excieting, no doubt about that. That was all over social

458
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: media there with a splash, no pun intended. Patrick Talty

459
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 2: as our guest, the president of the Indiana Sports Corp.

460
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: Final couple of things, Patrick, how about for you personally individually,

461
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 2: how much have you learned about swimming in this process.

462
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 4: I've learned quite a bit. I mean I I my

463
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 4: father was a swimmer, a college swimmer, and so I

464
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 4: had a little knowledge. But and of course my family

465
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,959
Speaker 4: loves it when it comes around for the Olympics, and

466
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 4: you know, but to really understand the science of why

467
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 4: the pools are built the way they are, and how

468
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 4: do you make them fast and and all that kind

469
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 4: of thing is stuff that I that I've learned and

470
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 4: I really enjoy that about these events. Every big event

471
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 4: that I've done throughout my career, I've always learned nuggets

472
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 4: along the way about you know, either the construction of

473
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 4: something or why do you do you know a certain

474
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 4: thing the way they do and and and a certain sport.

475
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 4: And so it's been a lot of fun to get

476
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 4: to know that. And you get to know these Olympians.

477
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 4: I mean, their stories are amazing, and they dedicate four years,

478
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 4: you know, every you know, to get to this point

479
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 4: to try to compete. There's gonna be one thousand swimmers

480
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 4: competing for fifty two spots. I mean, I can't imagine

481
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 4: that kind of dedication and that kind of perseverance. I mean,

482
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 4: that is just incredible when you think about it. I

483
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 4: mean that that, to me is something that I've really

484
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 4: cherished that I've learned about this about the Olympic swoon.

Speaker 3: a good guy and tell you what you got to

519
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 3: think out of the box once in a while. If

00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 3: you want to make something that people are gonna remember

521
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 3: for years to come, it's something like this.

522
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Indiana Sports Corp. You know Patrick Talty, The Colts

523
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: visit Indy, the Pacers. They love to think outside the box.

524
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 2: As Patrick said, they are not afraid to go big

525
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: and to go bold and to reset the standard of

526
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 2: what is acceptable to be host cities for big things

527
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 2: like this. Like you said, there's still a plethora of

528
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 2: things that the committee did in twenty twelve to reset

529
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 2: the bar for what it means to host an NFL

530
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. They took the blueprint and they threw it

531
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 2: away and then created a bigger, better, brighter blueprint and

532
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 2: get it. That's what they do.

533

561
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,760

562
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 3: season last year, Anthony Richardson accounted for seven touchdowns. He

563
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 3: had four rushing and three through the air.

564
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 2: Okay, those scores so far.

565
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: Those scores, they came in the first three starts. Now, listen.

566
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 3: In the last thirty years, only two players have accounted

567
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 3: for more touchdowns in their first three career games. Who

568
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 3: are they?

569
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 2: Wow, I'm gonna go with dynamic, dual threat quarterbacks here.

570
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna say, find a duel Well, just because

571
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 2: of total touchdown.

572
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 3: I understand, buster, you also got some freaks that can

573
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 3: do it through the air, though, Mate, too, they can

574
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 3: get up in.

575
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 2: Their first three games. I'm gonna I'll say, Michael Vick.

576
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 3: No, great, that's a great one, but no, you're off

577
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 3: on this. I gotta go right to it. The second

578
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 3: one's going to be tough. But Mahomes, I mean that

579
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 3: offense just you know, he steps off of the bench.

580
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying, Like all passing maybe had a

581
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 3: two yard shuffle in there, but I'm saying it's rare

582
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 3: on his twenty yard runs. But yeah, he's throwing. So

583
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 3: he came into that league and that offense with Andy Reid, and.

584
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: He took it all by Store and Burney.

585
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 3: He goes the second quarterback and now we're on your

586
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 3: run pass type of model that you're talking about, and

587
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 3: he was great. You can even say in our division

588
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 3: if you like.

589
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 2: Is he still in the division?

590
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 3: No, sir, he is. Uh well, he went out put

591
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 3: it this way. He was playing outside of a casino

592
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 3: last year, and I don't and I don't know where

593
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 3: he is this year. I think he's in.

594
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did play.

595
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 3: Where did he go?

596
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 2: He went?

597
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 3: So where did he go? He got benched and it

598
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 3: went to Atlanta.

599
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been kind of a he's been kind of

600
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:47,479
Speaker 2: a wanderer.

601
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 3: Anyway, he had of them.

602
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: He is with the Washington command.

603
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 3: That's right, Washington Commanders. Marcus Mario, I'm sorry he had

604
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 3: eight and Mahomes had ten good ones and again. Anthony

605
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 3: Richardson had seven in his first three careers, so we

606
00:28:58,520 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 3: know the kid's going to be good. It's all about

607
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 3: the health and obviously the help of the offensive weapons,

608
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,280
