1
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: The NFL never sleeps.

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 2: The roster is ever evolving, and it's all about finding

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: the edge. This is the Last Word, the off season

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: home of the Indianapolis Colts. Now here's Jeffrey Gorman and

5
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: Matt Taylor.

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 3: All right, welcome into the Last Word. Excited to talk

7
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 3: to you about tonight because we got winning on our mind.

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 3: Matt Taylor, Voice of the Colts. Matt Taylor's here, he's

9
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 3: a winner. Let me explain, Just let me explain. We

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 3: won today and have a lot of eyes. Yes we did,

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 3: Yes we did because lu An Arumo, the new defensive coordinator,

12
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 3: is itching to get his hands on this defensive personnel

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 3: unit of the Colt. We won there, okay to see

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 3: that as a win. Yep, we're gonna tell you about

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 3: it later on in the show. We went to Trivia

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 3: Night last night, Matt Taylor, Voice of the Colts. Myself,

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: showcase Casey Valier was also there, my fiance was there,

18
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 3: and folks, I'm just gonna tell you this right now.

19
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: We won the whole whole kit and kabua, yeah, I mean,

20
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 3: first time playing trivia Knight at a brew house. Matt Taylor,

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 3: our captain. By the way, last night. So I think

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 3: you were the captain last night. Good pulled by you.

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 3: But we got a lot more to talk about that.

24
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 4: Uh, may Te, we put our collective brains there.

25
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: We cannot be stopped.

26
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you a fun thing if you haven't

27
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 3: done a try at trivia night. But more talk about

28
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: that later on Don the road.

29
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: If you want useless knowledge, we got you covered.

30
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 3: Lou Ana Roumo has been named the defensive coordinator of

31
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 3: the Colts. You've done a lot of research on this guy, gotcha,

32
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: don a lot? You know this guy's right down the road. Heck,

33
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 3: it's an old boiler Maker coaching under Joe Tiller.

34
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:34,919
Speaker 1: Yeah.

35
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: My first question to you on this man we're gonna

36
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 3: hear from in a minute. The defensive personnel of this

37
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: unit the way it sits right now, are you Are

38
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 3: you looking at a potential overhaul? Do I want to

39
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 3: use that word overhaul? Or is there gonna be a

40
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 3: plenty of new faces on the defensive side of No.

41
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 4: I mean you've got nine of eleven starters on defense

42
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 4: are set to come back next year for the Colts.

43
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 4: You've got Julian Blackman, e J.

44
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: Speed.

45
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 4: They're free agent, so they still have a chance to

46
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 4: come back next year. So I think you're gonna have

47
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 4: a lot of continuity again on.

48
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 3: Defense, but competition.

49
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 4: I bring our competition and we'll see what free agency

50
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 4: brings on that side of the ball for the Colts.

51
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: But it's going to be a new scheme.

52
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 4: You know, the Bengals had a game wrecker and Trey

53
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 4: Hendrickson up front along their defense. The Colts don't have

54
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 4: that guy, but again, they could look for more help

55
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 4: and free agency along the defensive line. I think that's

56
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 4: something to watch and then we'll see. I think most

57
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 4: importantly what happens in the secondary. An Arumo is able

58
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 4: to and we'll talk about this really good at disguising

59
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 4: coverages because of good skilled veterans and defensive backs, and

60
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 4: when when Cincinnati was at their best, that's what was

61
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 4: happening in the secondary. So again, I think in order

62
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 4: for Ana Roumo's defense to shine like it did in

63
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 4: Cincinnati in twenty twenty one in twenty twenty two, he's

64
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 4: got to have a good secondary.

65
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: So we'll see.

66
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 4: You know what that means for you know, Juju Brentz

67
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 4: and Kenny Moore. Jalen Jones is coming back, so We'll

68
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 4: see how aggressive the Colts are this offseason in terms

69
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 4: of putting new pieces into place in that defense, especially

70
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 4: in the.

71
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: Second Annarumo has beaten Mahomes. Okay, his defense has beaten

72
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen in the playoffs, no less, what

73
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: was it that drove Shane Stikeen to say that's the

74
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: guy that's our defensive corda Well.

75
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 4: I think this is somebody that has proven he can

76
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 4: be multiple, he can be game specific, and has shown

77
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 4: the creativity when it comes to disguising coverages and consistently

78
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 4: keeping quarterbacks off balance with some surprising scheme tweaks. And

79
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 4: you know you talked about all those battles with the

80
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 4: Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. You know the

81
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 4: Bengals beat the Chiefs three times in a calendar year

82
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty two. I mean, really impressive stuff right there.

83
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 4: So the guy holds people accountable, he said, he's a

84
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 4: truth teller. He tells it like it is and sometimes

85
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 4: for players that can be hard to hear. But this

86
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 4: is a guy that's gonna coach hard, whether you're a

87
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 4: six year VET or an undrafted rookie free agent, whatever,

88
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 4: you know, he said it right. And you know, the

89
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 4: best players want to be coached. They want to be

90
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: coach hard, they want to be held accountable, they want

91
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 4: to be pushed, and I think that's what was There

92
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: was a void in that capacity last year. Based on

93
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: some of the voices that we heard from that side

94
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 4: of the ball in the locker room coming out of

95
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 4: the end of the season.

96
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: He might have a little Bill Belichick in. I mean,

97
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: he likes to take away the offense's best player. Here's

98
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: the new Colts d C lou Anarumo on taking away

99
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 3: the offense's best players.

100
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 5: I think it's just a matter of you know, you're

101
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 5: gonna identify what the team does well, identify who the

102
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 5: problem players are. You know, where's the great receiver and

103
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 5: what do we gotta do to slow him down? Derrick

104
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 5: Henry Lamar Jackson, guys like that. You know, we had

105
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 5: to play twice a year. They present multiple problems along

106
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 5: with you know, Zey Flowers and guys like that. So

107
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 5: whoever or whatever the issues are, you know, you want

108
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 5: to put in front of the guys and say, okay,

109
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 5: you know, if we can take these guys away or

110
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 5: minimize their damage in the game. We're gonna give ourselves

111
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 5: a chance to win.

112
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 4: I mean, Jeffrey right there, that that's gotta be music

113
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 4: to a lot of Colts fans ears. I mean, I

114
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 4: know that was a big theme within the defense the

115
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 4: last couple of years. Far too often in the last

116
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 4: few seasons did the Colts allow and opposing white out

117
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 4: to go off. I mean, three had happened a lot.

118
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 4: But Casey actually went back and looked up some of

119
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 4: the big games the Colts allowed this year to premier

120
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 4: players that you knew going into the game you had

121
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 4: to stop. For example, last year, Nico Collins week one

122
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 4: goes for one to seventeam.

123
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: We knew what he what he was right.

124
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: Josh Jacobs goes nuts for a one to fifty one

125
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 4: in Week two when the Packers had a backup quarterback

126
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 4: and they you know, you knew they were going to

127
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 4: run the football Roman Dunes, they had a big game.

128
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 4: George Pickens had a big game in Week four. Brian

129
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 4: Thomas had two big games for the Jaguars, justin Jefferson

130
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 4: had one thirty seven. Malik Neighbors had won seventy one.

131
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 4: So that's enough evidence right there to show you that

132
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 4: the other team's top playmakers routinely beat the Colts, and

133
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 4: I know that was hard to watch. It was hard

134
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 4: to defathom because again, you knew who you needed to

135
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 4: stop going into the game, and oftentimes the Colts still

136
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 4: couldn't get it done.

137
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: That's Matt Taylor. I'm Jeffrey Gorman. This is the last word.

138
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 3: Ninety three five, one oh seven to five the fam.

139
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 3: We're talking Colts new defensive coordinator higher lou Ana Rumo.

140
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 3: Mayte really quick. What does Anna Rumo's defense philosophical? What

141
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 3: does it look like and how does it differ from

142
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: a Gus Bradley defense? It does it look similar to you?

143
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: Not just eleven guys, but are they doing a lot

144
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 3: different than what Gus Bradley brought Historically?

145
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 4: With Anna Rumo, you've seen primarily a four man pass rush,

146
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 4: but which four men rush the passer can be a

147
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 4: mystery simulated pressure where defensive linemen drop and linebackers replaced

148
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 4: with blitzing. The blitz rate's not going to be crazy.

149
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 4: I do think you're gonna see it go up from

150
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 4: you know what it has been the last couple of years.

151
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 4: But the biggest thing that I think you can see

152
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 4: from the Colts going forward is that they're going to

153
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 4: be more games specific. They're going to be able to

154
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 4: tailor the game plan to stop what the offense does

155
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 4: well make them beat you another way outside of their

156
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 4: top playmakers. Like we talked about, hopefully, with savviness that

157
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 4: you bring in in the secondary, you're able to disguise

158
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 4: coverages and make it hard at times for quarterbacks.

159
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 3: Mat this cat has beaten some of the best. We

160
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 3: saw the player, you know, the Super Bowl run a

161
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 3: couple of years ago at the Bengals. We know what

162
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 3: lou Ana Arumo can bring, right, But let me be

163
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 3: on with you, mate. Look at the last two seasons

164
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 3: down in Cincinnati. It's a lot of yards given up.

165
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 3: I'm just looking on the paper right now. It's factual.

166
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: What happened in the last two years down in Cinci.

167
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 3: Donumo and that defense, well.

168
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 4: They were at their best win again, they could disguise

169
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 4: some things. They had savvy veterans in the back end,

170
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 4: guys like Jesse Bates and Von Bell, and they were

171
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 4: really good up front with DJ Reeder kind of like

172
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,679
Speaker 4: their version of DeForest Buckner. A lot of those guys

173
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 4: left in free agency after the twenty twenty two season,

174
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 4: and Anna Rumo talked about it this week, needing to

175
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: find the balance of staying multiple and being aggressive, but

176
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 4: also not overloading players so that they can't play fast

177
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 4: and physical and diegest.

178
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: Wait wait, wait, wait, wait, when you say overload, you mean

179
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: if he normally gets thirty five plays on a Sunday,

180
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: break them down to twenty five plays, keep them fresher.

181
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 4: Well, I just think more so just the nuance of

182
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 4: the scheme. You still have to go out there and

183
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 4: play footballer, you have to tackle, you know, stick to

184
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 4: your fundamentals. He talked about simplifying the defense in the

185
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 4: late stages of this past year for the younger players

186
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 4: on that side of the ball for the Bengals, and

187
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 4: during that last five game stretch they only gave up

188
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 4: eighteen points per game. So I do understand the Devil's

189
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 4: advocate side of things, but I do think he's gonna

190
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 4: come in here and he's gonna have a lot of

191
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 4: veteran pieces on that side of the ball on defense,

192
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 4: a lot of guys that have played a lot, they've

193
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 4: played in different schemes.

194
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: I think they're pretty adaptable.

195
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 4: Guys like Zaire Franklin and you know Buckner and Stewart

196
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 4: and Kenny Moore. I think you're gonna have a lot

197
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 4: of guys that are still under contract coming back next year,

198
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 4: but it's not gonna be a complete rebuild. And I

199
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 4: think those guys from a football IQ standpoint are gonna

200
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 4: be good enough to turn this thing around under the

201
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 4: guidance of Anrumo and his stass.

202
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 3: Welcome to Indianapolis, Sweet lou an Arumo. I like the

203

204
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: if I'll mean to be able to use that all lose,

205
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,040

Speaker 3: Germany to be specific part of the NFL's global market programs.

236
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,679

Speaker 3: Germany this time, Berlin. You better be ready for it.

240
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: I know we had fun last time.

241
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 4: I know, I am. I'm incredibly excited for it. Admittedly

242
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 4: didn't see a whole lot of Germany the first time,

243
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 4: so hopefully we can rectify that with you know, getting

244
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 4: our bearings in the trip.

Speaker 4: Oh yeah, right in the wheel harab A Stein a

247
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 4: lot of ancestors that date back to Germany.

248
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: So I'm excited for that.

249
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: Hey, let's find out more. We're sitting down with Stephanie Pemberton,

250
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 3: to vice president of Marketing for the Colts. So I guess,

251
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 3: I guess. My first question is why is the marketing

252
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 3: in Europe and Germany so important specifically for the Colts.

253
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 6: Great question. So, first of all, thank you guys so

254
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 6: much for having me on. I'm honored to be a

255
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 6: member of the radio team here for a short period

256
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 6: of time, just to talk a little bit about international

257
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 6: So I think, you know, obviously we know the NFL

258
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 6: football is America's sport, right and it's the most popular

259
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 6: sport here in America, but when you go outside of America,

260
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 6: you know internationally it's not necessarily And so I think

261
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 6: the NFL really strategically has seen a huge opportunity in

262
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 6: continuing to invest in building our fan base globally, and

263
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 6: I think they started the Global Markets program a few

264
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 6: years ago to give teams a pathway to start building

265
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 6: their team fan bases in different countries and different parts

266
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 6: of the world. And so we got, as you mentioned,

267
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 6: an opportunity to see firsthand the German market back when

268
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 6: we played the Patriots in Frankfurt and really saw this

269
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 6: incredible appetite for American football within Germany, and I think

270
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 6: walked away from that game really energized by the opportunity

271
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 6: that existed there. So we were thrilled with the opportunity

272
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 6: to be able to build on some of the things

273
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 6: we've done over the past year, partnering with one of

274
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 6: our former players, biorn Werner, who has become a very

275
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 6: popular media personality over there, and really building on some

276
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 6: of that momentum that we've put into the market over

277
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 6: the past year.

278
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a good connection and a good partnership.

279
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 3: Over one hundred and thirty German and Austrian companies operate

280
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 3: here in Indiana. Indiana and Germany share eleven sister city agreements,

281
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 3: including one between Indianapolis and Cologne, Germany. So Germany rather

282
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 3: so this thing fits. I just want to go before

283
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: we break down this game in Berlin and what Colts

284
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 3: fans can expect. Are we going to have this conversation

285
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: next year, in two years from now when we're going

286
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 3: to Australia and New Zealand and you know, who knows

287
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 3: where is it branching out like that? Be honest, you know,

288
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 3: I think we don't know what the future holds.

289
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 6: But I think anyone that's paying attention to what the

290
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 6: NFL's doing, I mean clearly Commissioner Goodel is very bullish

291
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 6: on international markets and so there's been a lot of

292
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 6: continued discussion on you know, just this space, and so

293
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 6: I think there is a bright future here and we're

294
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 6: hopeful that the Colts will continue to be a part

295
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 6: of that.

296
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 4: At Stephanie Pemberton with us, she's with the Indianapolis Colts

297
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 4: VP of Marketing. I want to double back to what

298
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 4: you talked about the Global Markets program. The Colts have

299
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 4: dove headfirst into this. For those that don't know what does.

300
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 3: That mean, it's a great question.

301
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 6: So I think previously, before this program existed, all international

302
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 6: marketing really was held at the league level. Teams were

303
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 6: fairly limited on what they could do internationally. And so

304
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 6: with this Global Markets Program, the NFL has actually allowed

305
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 6: teams to apply to kind of expand their marketing reach,

306
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 6: which means we can now apply to market to create partnerships,

307
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 6: media partnerships, corporate partnerships, and do marketing activities if you will, events,

308
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 6: et cetera, fan engagement in international markets. And so I

309
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 6: think that program was started about three years ago. There's

310
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 6: the bulk of teams now participating in some capacity, and

311
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 6: you see some teams that have taken on multiple countries.

312
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 6: But I think Germany now has ten different teams from

313
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 6: the NFL actively marketing there and so being able to

314
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 6: play in the market we know is a really powerful

315
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 6: tool to really accelerate excitement around the team because you know,

316
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 6: as you all know, I mean, attending a game is

317
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 6: something that really excites and kind of builds that fandom

318
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 6: in the long run, no.

319
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: Doubt about that.

320
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 4: All Right, let's pretend like you're talking to my neighbor

321
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 4: right now, because my neighbor is a season ticket holder,

322
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 4: die hard Colts fan. I was out getting my mail

323
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 4: the other day. He had a lot of questions from me.

324
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 4: I didn't have the answers. So let's go FAQ from

325
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 4: my neighbor, diehard season ticket holder.

326
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: This is Dave.

327
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 4: All right, Dave is asking season ticket holder Stephanie. Will

328
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 4: they have a ticket to the game in Berlin? Do

329
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 4: they get to go to this game? Because it is

330
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 4: a Colts home game?

331
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: Per se?

332
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 6: Great question. So the NFL does control kind of all ticketing,

333
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 6: so we will get a small allotment of tickets that

334
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 6: we will try to make available two season ticket members,

335
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 6: but unfortunately not everyone that wants to go maybe able

336
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 6: to do that. So we're working through with the NFL

337
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 6: right now what is that allotment going to look like?

338
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 6: And then we'll figure out the right way to kind

339
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 6: of inform season ticket members of that. But there will

340
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 6: be some opportunities for season ticket members that are interested

341
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 6: to go. There's actually some a form on our website

342
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 6: right now folks dot com Slash International where if you

343
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 6: are interested in that game, you can submit your information

344
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 6: and again that will be used when we do get

345
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 6: more clarity around ticketing and opportunities to go.

346
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 3: Over there, and if Frankfort was any indication, the cults

347
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 3: will have some parties, some get together, some we want

348
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 3: to say hi to our fans in Europe over there

349
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 3: at probably a couple of different locations. My question is,

350
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 3: what did you learn from Frankfort that you're implementing into

351
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 3: Berlin to be bigger and better and have a great

352
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: experience for anybody that's at that game.

353
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 6: Yeah. I think now that we have rights to the

354
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 6: German market and that we're the home team, I think

355
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 6: we're already thinking of how can we scale Right when

356
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 6: we went to Frankfort, we did a pub takeover. We

357
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 6: packed the place out every single night first showed up.

358
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 6: That's right, that's right, we had some VIPs, we had

359
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 6: edge there. So how can we scale that and create

360
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 6: more opportunities for fans to come to meet players, to

361
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 6: meet Blue and really be a part of the excitement

362
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 6: around the team being over there. So we're looking at

363
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 6: ways to kind of make it really bigger and make

364
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 6: more of a week long, ten day long kind of

365
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 6: lead up as well. So a lot of those plans

366
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 6: are starting to be developed now, but all with kind

367
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 6: of the fan at the center. How can we make

368
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 6: this a great experience for our fans, not only traveling

369
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 6: over there, but also in the market.

370
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and this is going to be fun. And here's

371
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 3: one of the things that we haven't talked about yet, Mayte.

372
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 3: This is going to be held at Olympia Stadion. If

373
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: I'm pronouncing historic, historic that was built in nineteen thirty

374
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 3: six for the Olympics. And don't forget that's where Jesse

375
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 3: Owens stuck it to the Grand Furor in track and field.

376
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 3: Don't forget that stadium, folks, that's the one I'm talking about.

377
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 3: It's historic. So please, if you're't interested to go and

378
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 3: see the Colts over in Europe, this is the one

379
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 3: to do it well. Obviously Colts dot com will have

380
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 3: all the latest information. But Stephanie, great job on this, really,

381
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 3: because you guys worked hard in the last year. This

382
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 3: landscape of the Colts and reaching places that who knows,

383
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 3: like I said, two three four years from now could

384
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 3: be talking about Australia Japan, New Zealand. Who knows, you

385
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 3: never know, you never know.

386
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 6: But it has been exciting just to see the NFL continue,

387
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 6: the sport continue to grow really across across the world.

388
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 6: It's been exciting to see that momentum.

389
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 3: Lastly, what do we see you walking around the streets

390
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: of Berlin in your hand? Is it a schnitzel? Is

391
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 3: it a pretzel or is it a big draft thing,

392
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 3: a stein of beer?

393
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: What is it?

394
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 6: I do love my pretzels. I do love my pretzels,

395
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 6: So that's probably going to get priority.

415
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: We're gonna give you the Forum Credit Union. Question of

416
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 3: the week surrounding our thoughts on this is a big one. Now,

417
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 3: if NFL playoff games should be played at a neutral site,

418
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 3: specifically where their sun and.

419
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: Not snow and ice or maybe other.

420
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 3: Conditions, We're gonna talk about that and a whole lot more.

421
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 3: Plus we got more. We won the trivia game last

422
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 3: night over at Centerpoint throwing.

423
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: How did we do it?

424
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 3: Twenty two to twenty five teams. I don't know what

425
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 3: it was, but may take Casey value myself, Riemamera. We

426
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 3: all went down there and took home the trophy. We're

427
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 3: gonna tell you about it after this ninety three to five.

428
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 2: We talk Colts football every Friday on the Last Word,

429
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 2: the offseason radio home of the Colts with Jeffrey Gorman

430
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: and Matt Taylor from the Indiana Union Construction Industry Radio Studio.

431
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 7: And I want the best team to win, not the

432
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 7: best team in those conditions. And I get it. It's

433
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,719
Speaker 7: what everybody says. It's football weather. This is what it is.

434
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 7: But here's the problem that I have, and being a

435
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 7: guy that played in a dome, being a guy that

436
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 7: played in Arizona, I have no way to get ready

437
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 7: for those conditions. And so you can say all you

438
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 7: want about home field advantage and that's why you play well. No,

439
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 7: because the Patriots can come to Arizona and there's no

440
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 7: difference other than we have our fans obviously, but they

441
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 7: can play in my weather. I can't play in their

442
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 7: weather because I can't get used to it. There's nothing

443
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 7: you can do to get used to cold weather in

444
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 7: a situation. So to me, I'm just like I want

445
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 7: the best. I want to be able to be my best.

446
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 7: I want to play against their best, and I want

447
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 7: the best to a advance. And so for me, I've

448
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 7: played in that weather before I grew up in Iowa,

449
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 7: So I played in all that stuff, you know, and

450
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 7: it's just like bass kicking that ball.

451
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure when he kicked it, he's like, oh, that's money.

452
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: That's right down the middle over shore.

453
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 7: All of a sudden, the win takes and it goes

454
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 7: to the left, and you say to yourself, what was

455
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 7: he supposed to do there?

456
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's easy to say, well, aim.

457
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 7: A little bit further because you know the win's gonna

458
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 7: pick it, and I just I don't want that stuff

459
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 7: to dictate who wins these games and who ultimately, you know,

460
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 7: creates history and wins championships.

461
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: Especially like you get to the playoffs.

462
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 7: I just want to see the best team advance in

463
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 7: the playoffs. And to me, the best team is but

464
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 7: the team that has the opportunity to play their best football.

465
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 3: Thanks to pardon my take, And that was Kurt Warner,

466
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,959
Speaker 3: the Hall of Famer, on why it feels NFL playoff

467
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 3: games should be played in nice weather conditions, not the

468
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 3: ice and the snow. That is our Forum Credit Union

469
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 3: question of the Week. By the way, we bring in

470
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 3: Casey Value for this. Matt Taylor, you're up first. What

471
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 3: say you you agree with Warner on this, I disagree

472
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 3: where you at.

473
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 4: I very much agree with Kurt Warner. Yes, listen, I

474
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 4: mean I want to see the best teams play the

475
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 4: biggest games of the year where conditions are good, either

476
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 4: in domes or nice weather climates. I mean the end

477
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 4: of that Eagles Rams game. I mean you had bad footing,

478
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 4: no traction, tough visibility that playbooks like this big.

479
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 3: Good point, good point right there. I mean laybook is

480
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 3: normally fifty plays we can choose from you go in

481
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 3: those conditions, it goes down to twenty.

482
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 4: I mean, just look like guys are playing in slow motion, right,

483
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 4: And I played in games like that. I've played in

484
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 4: craft weather right, high school and college r I never

485
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 4: played in the NFL, not saying I ever did, But

486
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 4: I just think some football fans think of January football

487
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 4: and awful conditions, and they think of great games and

488
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 4: tough guys and the frozen tundra of lambeau Field and

489
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 4: the Ice Bowl and the Tuck Rule game, and listen,

490
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 4: it makes for good cinema, right, It makes for good

491
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 4: slow motion tackles in the snow and the breath coming

492
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 4: out of the helmets and things like that.

493
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: I'll give that to you.

494
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 4: But I think most players would say they hate playing

495
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 4: in crappy cold weather, and I'm a favor of playing

496
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 4: in neutral sites, either indoors or good weather. That way

497
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 4: that the weather doesn't decide the outcome of one of

498
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 4: the biggest games of the year in the playoffs. I mean,

499
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 4: we're already doing it with the Super Bowl, right, Just

500
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 4: extend that concept to the rest of the player.

501
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 3: They get it kind of a Bowl game thing. Casey

502
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 3: value we bring in case the Forum Credit Union question

503
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 3: over the week, you agreement with Kurt Warner or you disagree.

504
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: Agree.

505
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 8: I've always thought that I'm I'm shocked to hear when

506
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 8: when you know certain teams are building new stadiums that

507
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 8: they're some of these teams are continuing to go outdoors.

508
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 8: It's like, you know, just just make it so that

509
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 8: it also becomes a full year thing you can utilize

510
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 8: when it's indoors.

511
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: The Final four.

512
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 8: What we have Lucas Oil, it's a it's a hub

513
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 8: for a ton of things. So not just from a

514
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 8: football aspect, but I'm I'm right there with Kurt Warner

515
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 8: and Matt you do it for the Super Bowl? Why

516
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 8: not make the entire playoffs the same.

517
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 4: So the Chiefs are you just don't want to see

518
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 4: the Rams lose a game the way that they did

519
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 4: because they couldn't have any good footing.

520
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 3: So like the Chiefs are hosting the Bengals, will say

521
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,239
Speaker 3: next year and and that first week, it's not they

522
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 3: don't have a buye. They're playing in the wildcard round.

523
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 3: It's up in Kansas City. There's snow. I mean, it's

524
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 3: already it's already booked. Hey, we're going to Miami to

525
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 3: play this game. Sure, I think you could six months

526
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 3: an event.

527
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 4: I mean, you still have the same seating system, right,

528
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 4: so but just give give the higher seed a higher

529
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 4: ticket allotment for the stadium, right so you still have

530
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 4: some sort of an advance.

531
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 3: At more price you to go see your team. Though,

532
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, I'm just saying.

533
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 4: I'm just saying watching playoff football on the snow it's

534
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 4: not good for anybody. It's not good for the fans

535
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 4: in my opinion, because these are the biggest games of

536
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 4: the year, and you're playing the biggest games of the

537
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 4: year and some of the worst weather conditions that this

538
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 4: country has to offer.

539
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 8: I always think about a couple of years ago when

540
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 8: the Dolphins had to go to the Chiefs.

541
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that playoffs.

542
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 8: They were high powered offense, terrible weather, they couldn't do anything.

543
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 8: And that's not what you wanted to see. Because the

544
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 8: Dolphins were one of the best teams in football. You

545
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 8: would love to have seen them at like negative ten degrees.

546
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 8: I mean, people were fixed.

547
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: That's dangerous for the fans.

548
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 4: Team nice.

549
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 3: Those Ferraris don't drive well on ice. Isn't that something?

550
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 3: All right? That's the forum credit Union question. Over the week,

551
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 3: you can visit the forum credit Union fan forum section

Speaker 4: game in neither the AFC or the NFC. The previous

561
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 4: five all last to me him Rock Perdy, Mark sen Chez,

562
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco, Big Ben Roethlisberger and the greatness of Sean Kings.

563
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 3: We don't talk about Sean, can we do?

564
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: Especially?

565
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,119

Speaker 3: Staying with you. Bill's at the Chiefs.

570
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 8: It's hard to bet against Mahomes. No, I'd love to

571
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 8: see Josh Allen get over the hump, but I'm gonna

572
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 8: go with the Chiefs.

573
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: Maytay give me this? Chef's right?

Speaker 3: while there were four rounds and we were holding our

591
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 3: own through the end of oh, we were down in

592
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 3: we were than a half.

00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, we were like in fifth or sixth place out

594
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 4: of like twenty and we needed to make up a

595
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 4: great deal of ground. And how the trivia game worked

596
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 4: was the last round was like a bonus round or

597
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 4: like Final Jeopardy, where you could wager all of your points.

598
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 4: It was a make it or break it thing. You

599
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 4: could wager however many points you wanted to write. The

600
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 4: question was put the following cities in order from most

601
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 4: to least how many times they've hosted a Super Bowl

602
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,879
