Speaker 1 (00:00):
Happy.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
All in football season. We've had high school football, we've
had college football. Tonight the National Football League gets underway.
Cowboys Eagles, James Boyd, Kevin Bowen, Mark Dyke, and I'm
jeff Rickard. We have made it all the way, every
level you can imagine. It's football season. James Boyd, Kevin Bowen.
It's time to just almost on a nightly basis, daily basis. Hey,

(00:26):
I'm busy, I've got a game to cover. That's how
that works in your house too, right.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Well, you could say that I don't know if the
reaction is going to be met with what you're looking
for there, Mark, I was hoping for like a little
NFL films maybe.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
And that might be coming a little.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
All right, Indeed, we are here, yes, Cowboys Eagles tonight
and then tomorrow YouTube exclusive tomorrow from Brazil. Yeah, I
thought about Chiefs in Chargers, So what does that mean?
We all can watch it?

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Right?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
I believe so.

Speaker 5 (00:55):
But you have to go to the YouTube app on
the smart TV. Think about his last night because I
was like, wait a second, my Dad's going to be like,
what the heck is going on? Why can't I find
this game? So I he's got call cans no chance.
I actually the call from him probably later today. So
you can prep for how to get things set up.

Speaker 6 (01:13):
Looks like if you have YouTube TV, you can just
add it to your watch list and then it'll just
be on there so you can stream it on YouTube
TV without issue.

Speaker 5 (01:20):
You already just said too many steps now, Mark people
Mark speaking, this will be this will be a FaceTime
call and then my dad will be showing me his
face and I'll tell him, hey, can you flip the
camera and like stand in front of the TV and
then I'll walk you through how to do things.

Speaker 6 (01:33):
And lot of times I've had to do that already
with my parents. And streaming is just alarming.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Is it one of those things where like their their
face is kind of sort of in the picture up
to the upper right hand and they're talking to you
and trying to figure out what to do with the
their picture and what to show you on the screen
that they're talking about. Is it that level?

Speaker 6 (01:51):
Yeah, I'm like close the window because there's a glare
on the screen. I can't see what you.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
Yes, all of the things that he is talking about
happening very soon.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
In my life.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
My favorite is when they look really closely into the
phone and all you can see is like the hares
in their nostrils. Right, You're like, no, no, no, back
off a little bit. Yeah, that's a back off of backup. Yeah,
welcome into football season. We've got Cowboys Eagles tonight. Are
any of you guys surprised that the Cowboys to start
the season? And I know Philadelphia won the Super Bowl
last year. I know Philadelphia's at home, but that the

(02:21):
spread is eight and a half, that's a big divisional spread.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
I would agree. I forgot they have George Pickens as well. Yeah,
so that's quite the duo. Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens there.
But yes, I'm surprised by an eight and a half
divisional spread.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
That's crazy. And yeah, new faces and new places will
see that all over the place in Week one George
Pickens of course in Dallas. Dallas will be playing for
the first time in a while without Micah Parsons tonight,
who said yesterday he wished he had have stayed in.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Dallas with the Cowboys. How does that make Cowboys feel.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
They gave him up?

Speaker 5 (02:52):
I think the fans are probably still upset about the trade. However, Mikah,
you ain't got a lot of us.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
Brother.

Speaker 5 (02:59):
I will go anywhere on God's green Earth for one
hundred million dollars guaranteed.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
So it is fine. Green Bay's fool of green Bay.
I mean it is what it is.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
Mark, you would move to green Bay million dollars guaranteed.
You know he don't have to wear green Bay jersey.
But nevertheless, I'm excited to see him. I know he's
had like the back injury, but from all the clips
I've seen from a lot of green Bay riders that
I follow, he looks pretty spry after getting paid.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
I would have meschine.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
He's a little motivated too, don't you think. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
I mean I saw a video of him after he
signed his deal or inked the trade or whatever it was,
and he ran around his house singing a song by
Rod Wave called Richer, and so I think it's like
he was singing, I'm richer than I've ever been, and
I was thinking, Wow, what a life. I would love
to go to run around my apartment. Sam, I'm richer
than I've ever been. But I think Illinois has some

(03:48):
some money I still own from school.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
I'm just curious Mark, for all the nonsense. You talk
about Green Bay, have you ever actually been to Lambeau
or Green Bay for a football game? Or is that
just there's no way you'd even dange to go up there.

Speaker 6 (04:01):
No, I do want to go there at some point
and check it off the bucket list as far as
all the NFL stadums, I'd like to visit. So I've
not been to a game up there, never been there.
I've been in Milwaukee, that's the farthest I've gone, but no,
never did Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
I will say it's a cool place. It is very
nineties esque. It feels like you're going back in time
when you go to Green Bay. But there's a Blockbuster here. Yeah,
and everything's green and yellow. So I honestly was thinking,
if you don't like football or with Green Bay Packers,
what do you do in Green Bay?

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Honestly?

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Well, the unofficial third color for the Packers is hunter orange.
Though if you show up on game day and it's cold,
there're gonna be a lot of people decked out in
their warm hunting gear as well.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
You're gonna watch Packers play, then we're gonna go shoot
some day here.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
Yeah, pretty much, get some chase herds sounds like a
simple life.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
I like it. Kevin Bowen. Yesterday, the Indianapolis Colts getting
ready for the Miami Dolphins. First injury report of the
year comes out. Did we learn anything different from what
we had expected to see.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Well, we thought it would be a very healthy report,
and it's about as healthy as it can look. So yeah,
all fifty three guys on the fifty three men roster
did practice yesterday. Tyler Goodson the only one even listed,
and he is limited with his elbow injury. So yeah,
I mean it's it's a great bill of health. Miami
Dolphins are not in this state head into week one.

(05:18):
And even if you look at the guys that you
lost in training camp, Yes you lost Justin Wallly, Yes
you lost Hunter Woler both for the year. You know,
Jalen Carlis was probably gonna be a guy playing a
little bit at linebacker for you that is going to
be out for the first month plus here. But I
mean you've got what twenty one to twenty two starters
and forty of your top probably forty four guys, forty

(05:40):
one of your top forty four guys. It's a great
situation to walk into week one, into I can't recall
last time the Colts have been this this healthy, and
again Miami's got a little bit more of the injury concerned.
Some of their frontline guys also haven't practiced in a while.
Tyreek Hill just back to practice, Devonnie a Chain just
back to practice. So yes, it's another I think feather

(06:01):
in the cap of optimism for the cult tit in
the week one and.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Jab It kind of feels like for both sides, there's
an element going into this game of unknown. Certainly for
the Colts, brand new quarterback right and they've got to
rebuilt defense and a new defensive coordinator. So from Miami's perspective,
to go look at some lou Anaromo coach teams, you're
gonna probably look at a little Daniel Jones tape from
the past. But there's a lot of unknown there, and
it just feels like the Dolphins in general are somewhat

(06:27):
even though they shouldn't be. It feels like.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Who are these guys right now? Who are they really?

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Does it kind of feel that way to you or
do you kind of know what you're getting for the
Miami Dolphins.

Speaker 5 (06:36):
I think for Miami it's the stigma you've kind of
tried to push off the last few years.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Is are you a fraud? And you have had success?

Speaker 5 (06:44):
I believe, made the playoffs two of the last three years,
missed the playoffs last year. But again for some of
those high scoring offenses we've seen, they haven't won a
playoff game in twenty four years. So that is a
very long time, longest drought I believe in the NFL.
And then you look at the both side of things,
and you haven't had much success as of lay either.
Are you a fraud with Daniel Jones and your new

(07:06):
look defense and all these changes you've made, nothing said
and stones just yet they have made the playoffs in
four years. Obviously a fifth year missing the playoffs would
mean a lot I think other people would probably have to,
you know, say goodbye to the city of Indianapolis. But
a chance to start over, a chance to obviously have
some success, and for the Colts's sake, For the Colts's sake,

(07:26):
I'm sorry I keep saying that wrong, but you want
to just win the season opener. Haven't done it since
twenty thirteen, and a lot was different back then. I
on'tly think Tyrek Hill was with the dolphin twenty thirteen.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
I'm gonna extend that too. The two head coaches.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
I don't know if tyrerak Kill was in the NFL
in twenty thirteen.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
I'm thinking about it, no, because this is his tenth season.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
So yeah, you're right, that's a long time man, don't
spring chicken.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
You look at the two coaches though, too. Initially everybody
was all hyped up about Mike McDaniel and he's kind
of this new age different guys. He doesn't look or
act like an athlete, kind.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Of a nerdy looking dude.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
In that first year there, you know, they're running these
crazy plays. They got all these speed guys. They're running
up and down. I think they scored seventy on the
Broncos one week, and that's kind of come back down
to earth. Shane Stiken thought of as a pretty smart
play caller, but he's a really good head coach. Where
are you out on both these head coaches? Who were
they as we enter this twenty twelve I.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Think they have a lot to define here. You know, James,
you and I were talking about the media room yesterday.
If you look at some of the first coach to
be fired Vegas prop lines out there. You do have
Brian Dable for the Giants being a top the list,
but two and three quite often are these two coaches,
Mike McDaniel and Shane Syke. If you want to take

(08:37):
a step further, Chris Greer the GM in Miami has
been there for ten years, no playoff wins, three playoff appearances.
Chris Ballard going into year nine. He just one year
difference between him and Chris career. We know two playoff
appearances and just one playoff win, so it is early
similar how these teams are I think measured at the

(08:58):
GM and head coach spot a quarterback, you know, slightly different.
You know Tua has when healthy, he's been good in
this league and you know they are a much better
different football team than when two is in the lineup
versus when he is not in the lineup. Availability of
course has been a question for him, and you know,
obviously some pretty horrifying images frankly with his injuries in

(09:19):
his career. But he's healthy and you didn't see him
last year and whatever that was, Week five, Week six,
you are going to see him coming up on Sunday,
and there are questions about you know, his connection with
Tyreek Hill and all of this. Miami had a coach
get arrested over the weekend. I mean, there's just a
lot going on right now in this matchup here, and
I think it's why you know, you see the spread

(09:41):
as close as it is, it's one of the closest
spreads of any here in Week one. It's such a
vital game for both organizations. Yeah, it's one of.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Those you have have trouble. I don't know about you, Jay,
So I have trouble getting really a handle on what's
this game gonna look like? Like generally, how's it gonna go.
Obviously there's surprises that happened in every game that change everything,
and maybe there's a really innovative game plan that people
didn't see coming.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Whatever.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
But I don't have any idea what to expect from
these two teams when the first half rolls around on
Sunday afternoon over Lucas Oile.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
I would expect some speed. That is what Law and
Rumol told us on the Zoom call this week. Speed,
speed and more speed. So I expect them to test
those cornerbacks early. And yes, to various award is proven,
but his All Pro season was two years ago. Now,
he went to some personal tragedies last year, so I
don't want to discredit that.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
However, he would say this himself.

Speaker 5 (10:32):
I got to go out there and kind of prove
that I am still cornerback one. Xavin Howard, you haven't
playing two years. If I am the Dolphins, I am
absolutely running a go ball on you can you run?
I want to see if you can keep up with
Jaylen Wattle or Tyreek Hill after not playing, after being
under your couch, as he put it yesterday for a
couple of years.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
And I know he's excited about that challenge as well.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
So there's a lot of moving parts there and also
a little bit of a I don't want to say
if it's bad blood, but there's gotta be a little
animosity there. Daven how we're going against his former team.
And then to my knowledge, I know Juju Brents won't
be starting for the Dolphins, but he'll be on their roster,
I believe their active roster for game day, so there'd
be a little bit of a you know, an amossie
on the other side too.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Oh, we got a couple of days to get you
ready to go for a week. One of the NFL
over at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
We'll do that. We'll talk about the first.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Game of the season tonight as the Eagles take on
the Dallas Cowboys. All that and more and everything you
missed as you laid your head on the pillow last
night comes your way. Next, it's the Fan Morning Show
at ninety three to five and one oh seven five
the Fan. It's but we will power on as Mark
and Kevin figure out the true nature of their relationship.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Right, you're not bringing me to family court if you
have a little pushback mark on your green Bay accent,
which you know me, I'm very impressed by your impressions.
Usually that sounded a hair of Green Bay meets Huntsville, Alabama.

Speaker 6 (11:50):
Yeah, that's probably the same. Is that actirito boots? You know, camouflage.

Speaker 5 (11:56):
I can't if I heard any accents when I was
out there last year.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Oh there's a big Midwestern.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
I just know that they really care about the grass.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
After the game, when I just going off to the
field to do like a little video, Oh yeah, and
they were like, you.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Got her field.

Speaker 5 (12:09):
Step a little bit to the left there, mister boy,
get off the grass.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Is that Kentucky blue beat off it. See that's definitely suner.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
All right, here's what's happening in the world of sports.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
The Indianapolis Colts edge closer and closer to Game one
of their twenty twenty five season. They'll take on the
Miami Dolphins one o'clock start. You'll hear it live right
here on ninety through five one oh seven five Fan
from nine to ten Sunday morning. It'll be the Ride
with JMV, the Ride to kick off, and then the
Colts Network takes over and gets you ready to go
with Rick Venturi and Greg Rakestraw and Matt Taylor and
everybody else that'll be bringing you the game. And Colt's

(12:43):
injury report came out yesterday. We heard a little bit
about that from Kevin Bowen, but for the most part,
not con wood. Most folks should be pretty healthy and
ready to go, right, James, anybody you're worried.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
About, No, not at all.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
I think the big question mark is will Tyler Goodson
be available come Sunday given his elbow injury. I saw
on flexing it yesterday a couple of times throughout team drills,
but yeah, noticable rap, Yeah, elbows, But it's still a
positive development for him. I know I talked to him
a while back about the injury and he said it
was a dislocated elbow and he was very grateful he

(13:15):
didn't have to have surgery and obviously is trending in
the right direction now. Availability is still up in the
air for now. But if that's your only real issue,
you know, the question now is can you just get
to the rest of the week without having any setbacks?

Speaker 2 (13:28):
And we all know Wednesday's Thursday's critical practice days to
get ready for a game. And this is week one
and the Colt's coming out of training camp a week
and a half ago, should be ready to go. And
again we'll have that one Forloy Live right here on
ninety three five one o seven NFL Radio or an
NFL gets underway later on tonight as the Philadelphia Eagles
take on the Dallas Cowboys, eight and a half point

(13:49):
favorites in that one. Eagles trying to bounce back and
win another Super Bowl. They are the defending Super Bowl
champions and I don't know if we remember going back,
they just molly wanted to Kansas City Chiefs in that
football game.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
I love that word choice there. Yes, it was an
absolute thrashing, to say the least back there in the
Super Bowl. So we'll see what I almost said, Shane Stiking,
But it's Nick Sirianni can do for an Encore tonight
and again eight and a half point favorite over the
Dallas Cowboys. I feel like the Week one matchup, I
should say the season opener has offered a couple of

(14:22):
upsets in recent years, if memory serves, so we'll see
if Dallas can muster something up after they have certainly
been in the news for not a lot of positive
reasons here lately, given the Michael Parsons trade.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
We were talking about Kansas City Chiefs trying to bounce
back from that Super Bowl loss the unofficial fifty fourth
member of their team, Taylor Swift. Yesterday, Roger Goodell was
asked if she would be the halftime act at the
Super Bowl this year, and he said maybe. I don't know.
He didn't deny it. He didn't deny it.

Speaker 6 (14:51):
Mark Dyton, No, I'm sure you know if you've asked
Paul McCartney going to be eating I yes, sure.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Maybe she threw out.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
She threw down a lot of hints in that interview
with Ivis Kelsey. A lot of people think, so we'll
see what happens.

Speaker 6 (15:02):
I'd be a hell of the halftime show if she
her concerts Urney, you know, idea on how they would perform,
It'd be a hell of a show.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
It would be nuts.

Speaker 5 (15:11):
She's one of the best artists in the world and
obviously very very very did I say very popular?

Speaker 4 (15:16):
All right?

Speaker 2 (15:17):
One thing we do know, college football is a very
popular commodity in this country we call the United States
of America, Texas, Ohio state. Seventeen million people watching that
football game, one of four games of ten million or
more viewers that included Bama FS shooting Notre Dame Miami
was one of those, and LSU Clemson. Clearly, all the

(15:40):
nil stuff, the new way of playing college football, how
it works, all the nonsense.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
People don't care.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
They just want to watch a game on Saturday and
Sunday and Monday nights, Kevin, That's all they want.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Yeah, college ball has done such a great job on
that opening weekend of dominating Labor Day weekends, spreading it out. Obviously,
they had the three top ten matchups there. So there's
a lot about college football that they don't have. But
their willingness to I think play those games in the
non conference is huge. Although this week's slate much much lighter.
You have Oklahoma Michigan the college game. They will be

(16:10):
there from Norman. That's really it from a true kind
of marquee standpoint here. So lose a little bit of
that sizzle here in week two.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
All right, let's move on to the US Open quarterfinals.
Last night, American Amanda Anisimova beats the Ego swat Tex
six four to sixty three. She moves on to the semis,
as did Naomi Osaka, who beat Carolina Macova six' four seven,
Six and everybody's getting ready for the semi finals now
at THE Us. OPEN a lot more on that a
little bit. Later we told you about the men. Yesterday,

(16:41):
meanwhile Major League, baseball last Night Atlanta braves stopped The
Chicago cubs by a score of five to. One starting
to get late early In september for The cubs right,
now if they're going to make a run for that,
Division mark.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
WELL i can write off the. Division they're going to
make the wild card for.

Speaker 6 (16:56):
Sure so that's, okay all, Right so you just think
the padres At wrigley for three, games that's.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Fine uh so five?

Speaker 2 (17:02):
One The braves won that one last Night Cincinnati reds
in a, slugfest but they give it up to The
Toronto Blue jays thirteen to nine last.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Night you write them?

Speaker 1 (17:10):

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Now please kill them?

Speaker 1 (17:12):

Kevin and you ready to just completely write them off?
Altogether AM i the only one propping them up on this?

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Show who's going to? Say have you heard? Me for
the last three, Weeks i've been trying to keep it.

score of five to. One Are Indianapolis indians lose one
on the road Against columbus ninety two was the final score.
There they will play again tonight at six thirty. Five
anything else you boys want to throw in before we
move along to the rest of the, Show.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
WELL i think you gotta definitely mentioned the big job
On IndyCar continuing to have the musical chairs there Will
power to Team. Andretti that spot opens up With Colton
hurda dipping his toes INTO f. ONE i should say
a test. DRIVER i BELIEVE i have that technically right,
there SO i don't know. HER i felt, like obviously

(18:31):
the last name carries some. Weight he's kind of always
left wanting, more particularly the five, hundred like he's got
the Young, american the hair and all, that and you,
know he definitely has won races and, had you, know
some nice early. Moments we kind of left wanting. More
AND i love the Will power storyline for next. Year,
andretti at times you kind of look at that team and, think,
man why aren't they better but? Him Kyle, Kirkwood Marcus

(18:52):
ericson be interesting to see Will power Un Revenge tour
coming up next. Year you have a favorite driver or, Team,
WELL i think we Adopted Santino, frucci do we Not? Mark, yes,
FAVORITE i probably need to go there for, him but,
NO i HONESTLY i enjoy And Alex plow has certainly
rewritten this. SCRIPT i enjoy the parody that's usually there

(19:12):
In Indy, car AND i think the racing is at
least competitive on, track WHEREAS f, ONE i feel like
it's just a processional at. Times so, Yeah i'm probably
more of just a league wide, fan.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
All old School Scott dixon. GUY i Hope Scott dixon
just races until he's one hundred and fifty years, old.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Still getting it. Done that's quite the advancement in. SCIENCE

you know. Me alex pelog is like, WINNERS i. Guess
but as far As fever, go they got some. Help last.

Speaker 5 (19:43):
Night The sparks lost to The, Dream so now The
fever in the eighth spot and they're a game and
a half up on The. Sparks and Also Angel rees
picked up her eighth technical foul last, night which means
that in let's just rescind it between now And, friday
now and. Tomorrow actually she will miss tomorrow's, game which

(20:05):
is another big boost for The fever as you try
to make the playoff.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Push we'll see about today for practice For Kaitlyn. Clark,

the end of their regular. Season are there any big
steps in the right direction For Kaitlyn clark here to
close out the regular?

Speaker 2 (20:28):

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Off it'll be The colts and The dolphins On sunday
afternoon over At Lucas Oil. Stadium good, morning and welcome
into The Fan Morning show With Kevin, Bowen James. Boyd
i'm Jeff, Rickard Mark dyton on the ones and twos over,
there and on the eve of this, season THE espn
simulator ran thousands and thousands of seasons and kind of puu,
altogether and the biggest shock of all of, them it

(22:36):
says Both Super bowl teams from last, Year Kansas city
And philadelphia missed the. PLAYOFFS i can't even see that,
happening can? You regardless of what a computer, SAYS i
can't see.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
That by the, way that is my favorite intro of
the four. Stations that a great full toll. Game So Mark,
dyton thank you for kind of leading us off with.
That so what is this one out of a thousand,
simulations says The chiefs and The eagles missing the?

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Playoff he, says we're detailing the story of a single
simulation from ESPN's Football Power, index which normally uses ten
thousand simulations to build its. Projections to be, clear it's
not this person's prediction OR espn analytics. Prediction it's it's
just what a simulation. Said the most interesting simulation they
had with Both Super bowl teams missing the plan.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
The colts winning the Super bowl in that.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Simulation, no they did not have The colts winning the
Super bowl in that. Situation the biggest THING i saw
yesterday from actual real, poll it was on your, Site
james The. Athletic they did the optimism poll in every.
Market did you see? That HOW i did see? This
how optimistic teams are or fans are about their team moving.

(23:45):
Forward turns out people In denver are wildly, optimistic way
probably overly.

Speaker 7 (23:50):
So what about their?

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Chance but dead last thirty. Two people In indianapolis are
not optimistic or hope about this season at. All dead last.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Two, YEAH i think we've talked about this for the
last few months. Now it's easily the most APATHY i
have felt from the outside fan. Base if you want
to point to some tangible, stuff you, know crowds At Grand.
PARK i think we're very very DOWN tv ratings in the,
preseason very very. Down so, yes in, GENERAL i think
that's where it's at it was kind of. Sad. Frankly you,

(24:25):
KNOW i posted a story yesterday from The Colts complex
of you, know here we are week, one and you,
Know wednesday news cycle in THE nfl is usually one
of the busier days of the, week so it's always
kind of a preview piece for me and what's coming
up On. Sunday and the first RESPONSE i got to
that story was beginning of the end starts On. Sunday

(24:47):
and you, know when you see that, comment, Obviously i'm, like,
damn that's the first, Response, like isn't this supposed to
be like the most optimistic time of the year for?
Anybody but you know WHEN i look at it and
think of, myself, well is it the beginning of the,
end there's probably some merit behind that sort of thought. There, so,
yeah you can change so much in the short term

(25:08):
of the win On, sunday but, yeah head the end
of the, YEAR i cannot recall the time there's just this. Much,
yeah here we, Go let's see what happens and see
if Carl er Say gordon finally puts their hammer.

Speaker 4 (25:21):
Down.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Uh and LIKE i, said it's just you, know they
called it THE Nfl, hopometer and they just pull a
bunch of fans in every market trying to figure out
what's going. On, so you, know like everything, else kind
of take it for what it's. Worth but, man on
the optimism scale you, had you are you optimistic or
pessimistic about your? Season only seven percent Of colts fans

(25:44):
in this poll were. Optimistic ninety three percent of.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Them James, Boyd we're, like, nah it's not gonna. Go,
well it's Ninety you have to show them something to believe.
IN i, mean get, it it's.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
Rough BUT i understand.

Speaker 5 (25:58):
Completely we had the LISTENER i believe last Week jeff
that texted the station and, SAID i did not renew
my season tickets for the first time in over twenty
years because this, franchise in, essence has given me nothing
to believe.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
In and that is what they are fighting right.

Speaker 5 (26:15):
Now and we can talk about the x's and o's
and the onfield execution because that ultimately will determine how
much fan interest there. Is but leading up to, it
apathy is probably the right feeling to have about a
team that just benched their quarterback that they drafted two years,
ago who by the, way had not played. WELL i,
MEAN i can't argue he set up here and say
he should not have even benched any. Capacity but at

(26:37):
the same, time the guy you replaced him with got
bench at his last. Stop so, THERE i, mean it
was a kind of a lesser of two.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Evils, well AND i go back to a week ago,
Today james and we are Recapping Chris ballard's press, conference
and you, KNOW i THINK i said to you, Guys
i'm not overly like walking into that room expecting these
grand answers From Chris. Ballard there's only so much he can.
Say go back to the combine when he sat down with,
us why are you getting in the ninth? Year what's
your greatest accomplishment so far as AN Nflgm the answers

(27:05):
are so sad and met with such hollow nature of, like,
wait THAT'S i, MEAN i guess he's, right but those
are the. Answers and you, know he said, IT i
thought very succinctly Last, wednesday but very accurately when continually
asked about you, know, hey why should fans? Believe why
should fans? Believe you, know he pretty much just, said,

(27:26):
labely they believe when you, win and if you, don't they.
Don't and if you're not, winning you have to have
the young quarterback, carrot and right now you don't even
have the young quarterback. Carrot so if if you're going to,
struggle if you're gonna be three and thirteen and nineteen ninety,
eight you have the young quarterback at hand doing it
This obviously this season doesn't have that right here right.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Now, yeah it's hard to even see if they're gonna
be good two three years From, yeah all that ten.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Years, ago we're just looking at, tomorrow ten years that division.
Title AND i think there is just a general frustration
of people out, there specifically With, ballard of IF i
did that in my, JOB i wouldn't be here if
those results were in my, job you. Know and again
EQUATING nfl work to like your own, work probably a

(28:12):
little bit of not apples to. Apples we're talking the same.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Thing BUT i always, say it's not like there are
active people at your office that are like smacking up
side the head to try and stop you from doing your.

Speaker 5 (28:24):
Job knocky by handsout, sales you, know with on ferns
and moving up in, here NO hr.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Meeting NO i got this.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
EMAIL i think all of you got, it BUT i
wanted to point it. Out Listener jeff sent us an
email yesterday, said good, MORNING i wanted to reach out
and confirm the talk on The morning show About colts.
APATHY i was A bills fan growing, up and The
colts moved to the To indianapolis the year AFTER i
graduated high. SCHOOL i went to a game that first,
year in nineteen eighty. Four i've been a fan ever.
Since the last ten years Under ballard have been, pathetic

(28:55):
SO i gravitated back to The. Bills my wife AND
i recently. Retired we moved To. Florida for my sixtieth.
Birthday we purchased vib tickets in the second row In
buffalo for a game this. Month between, flights, tickets, hotel.
Etc it's a three thousand dollars. Weekend we could have
done the same for a game In indy for half the.
Price But i'm so tired of Hearing ballard's Blather i've
just given up on. Them i've met some other transplants

(29:16):
here In florida who are basically the same. MINDSET i,
hope for the benefit Of indy That jim's daughters. Understand
once fans get beyond anger at their, Team apathy sets
in and they go somewhere else to. ROOT i enjoy
listening to the show each, morning but there are a
lot of people that are, like to your, point, guys
show me something anything to. You you were just saying
a second, Ago, james forget about three years from, now

(29:39):
What's sunday gonna look?

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Like the best thing and the realest?

Speaker 4 (29:44):
THING i?

Speaker 5 (29:45):
Thought Chris baaler said in his post fifty three man
roster cut day news, conference which was about two guys
that were stow on the, team, ironically was we have
to win people to. Believe if we don't, win they won't.
Believe it's as simple as. That you can try to
sell this, plan but your track record isn't, great so
there is no reason to take you at your, word

(30:06):
especially because you keep flip flopping your decision. Making so
ultimately it comes down to wins and, losses and they
will certainly be judged by. THAT i think this year
more than any ever because you've put so many eggs
Into Daniel jones basket and Again anthony has. Struggled he
is not SOMEONE i can sit up here and, say,
oh he was wronged by everyone and you, know this
is all somebody else's. Fault, no he is ultimately the

(30:27):
player and ultimately falls on him why he didn't perform
to a higher. Level but to bet On Daniel jones
is a big. Risk it's certainly a questionable, decision and
now you have to live with that if things go you, know.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Awry hopefully they go well in their.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Case And, KEVIN i think a lot of people are
just The cults are stuck in. Purgatory it's not like
they're going two in. Fifteen it's not like they're going
one in. Sixteen they're not in the. Top they had
the fourth overall pick not that long, ago and To james,
point it hasn't worked out all that. Well but it
feels to a lot of people, like, great we're just
gonna seven and, ten eight and nine and picking, fourteenth

(31:03):
fifteenth or sixteenth every.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Year, yeah and, again we've probably beaten this drum for
the PAST x amount of months.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
And i'm gonna beat it.

Speaker 5 (31:13):
Again i'm.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Joking and The colts haven't given us any reason obviously
in recent years to change that. Storyline but you, know
there is a part of me it's, like all, right
Tonight's Opening, night let's get To. Sunday you, know, yes
there is apathy with the twenty twenty Five. COLTS i
guess maybe that's breaking, news maybe it's. Not but what
A sunday look, like because, again you have a golden

(31:34):
opportunity here at home the first two. Weeks you're gonna
be favored in four of your first. Six this is
probably the best skill group you've had in quite some.
Time you, HAVE i, think changed the defensive system at
least to a point where you're giving yourself a better
chance on that side of the. Ball how does it
all come? Together AND i guess let's start With Daniel
jones for. Me and you, KNOW i think so much

(31:59):
Of Shane stikeen's thing now is you, know the baseball
analogy we've used quite often has. Changed it's no longer
the home runs and the self. Creation it's the, singles the,
doubles the methodical passing. Game. JAMES i can't tell you
how many times Yesterday Shane second said in that press,
conference find. Completions, yeah find. Completions that is exactly what he,
said probably four or five different times About Daniel. Jones

(32:22):
and it is you, know there was one point he
goes know where to throw, it when to throw, it
and how to throw. It and it's JUST i actually
thought he gave a little bit More Daniel jones color
than we have gotten in prior press. Conferences it's not
going to be. FLASHY i think you have to take
some shots down the. Field that's just my general. Thought,

(32:43):
obviously those are going to have to be very. Calculated
you're gonna have To Alex pearce is too good of
a weapon not to use down the, field you know,
whatever seven man sort, of you, know blocking schemes to
try and take those shots by all. Means but this
is going to be more of your dink uk hit
guys in, stride hope they make plays after the, catch

(33:03):
stay ahead of the chains and see what. Happens i'll take.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
That stay ahead of the chains would be a vast
improvement from what we've seen in the last couple of,
years because teams that stay ahead of the chains make
a lot of first, downs at the very, least they
make a lot of field, goals and most of the
time they turn those into. Touchdowns you stay ahead of the.
Change you just keep, moving As hank used to, say
matriculate right down the.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Field, YEAH i tell, you when there's a fine line
in THE nfl between thinking you can grind out twelve
play eighty r drives four or five times a, GAME
i think that's pretty. RARE i think you have to
sprinkle in some of the big. Playmaking and, honestly AND
i obviously speak out of this from a fan venom,
standpoint BUT i Watch Notre name operating Offense sunday. Night

(33:44):
that Was horizontal's, hell that is going to be so
key for The. Colts you can't live in horizontal. Football
Notre name through from more yard side to side than
they did up and down On Sunday. Night that is
a QUESTION i have for The. Colts how horizontal is
this passing game going to? Be how many checkdowns can
you live? With because it takes one, drop it takes

(34:05):
one little Whatever aaron, throw and now all of a sudden
you're living in third and.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Seven and that's WHAT i mean WHEN i, said, yeah
how do you play off of? That and that's WHAT
i mean WHEN i stay stay ahead of the. Chains
teams that stay ahead of the chains are always in
second and, two, second, three as opposed to second eight to.
Nine they're in third and one as opposed to third
and nine all the. Time that's staying ahead of the.

Speaker 5 (34:26):
Chains, yeah and to piggyback that, POINT i think The
cults are not built to come from, behind whether that
is no chain wise or score. Wise they're not a
team THAT i would trust. To if you fall in
a ten oh, hole can you come back and win that?
GAME i mean it was a ringing joke for me

(34:47):
last year every time they fell behind by more than one.
Score so in in that case it will be nine
points and, more it might be, over and it could
be the first. Quarter obviously the fourth quarter wouldn't help.
You but that's what they're up. AGAIN i don't picture
them being some super high powered offense that can always
kind of bring you. Back you, know we saw last,
year even with that disastrous playoff game for The, lions

(35:09):
there was still like some hope there when they kept
turning the ball over BECAUSE i, Mean Ben johnson was,
cooking by the. WAY i, Know, mark you must be
excited thinking about, that you know, game BECAUSE i was, like,
man these guys have turned it over three or four,
times yet they're still. Scoring they're still in this. Game
it's not over just. Yet that is not the case
for The. Colts they cannot get in that. Position AND
i expect them again to lean On Daniel jones to
be the AND i think the LINE i use in

(35:32):
one of my stories, recently or it's gonna be dropping
here in a day or. So they Chose daniel's like
the simplicity over the. Special we will take the you,
know reliable simplicity over the sometimes.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
Spectacular it is what it.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
Is.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Yeah a couple Other jones QUESTIONS i have how much
will they use his? Legs he can definitely, run he
can definitely scoot a, bit but he has not been
the runner since the torn acl in twenty twenty, three
twenty to the season The colts often point to is
a big reason why they gave him fourteen million and
are believing in. Him he ran it a, Lot and,

(36:08):
again what does that element of the offense look? Like
he's On Anthony, richardson but he certainly Isn't Matt ryan
Or Joe. Flacco and then one thing that change staking
has done quite often AND i think usually with pretty good,
success AND i think it's a way to kind of
counter a. DEFENSE i would expect The colts to use
a lot of. Tempo you, know The colts have definitely
been a team that they love to hurry up within

(36:30):
a possession they get a big. Play in, particular they
love to jump on a defense with quick. Tempo, there
so are those some ways they can counter maybe the
lack of an explosive in. NATURE i did have To
if you didn't, laugh you're gonna. Cry yesterday in the locker, Room,
JAMES i don't know if you caught, this but you,
know quarterbacks speak On. Wednesdays The colts try to divide

(36:52):
it up like today is To Forest buckner And Jonathan taylor's. Day,
wednesday it's usually quarterbacks and The. Xi franklin's usually A wednesday,
Guy Kenny moore usually a way. Guy and in past
YEARS i feel like for the most, Part richardson And
flacco they would speak pretty much right as the locker
room availability is opening. Up it's open for about thirty forty.
Minutes Daniel jones was not talking right, away so you,

(37:12):
know the media is making their way around the locker
room and at one Point Zara franklin shout out To Zia.
Franklin by the, way he once again will be raising
forty four dollars for every tackle he. Has this is
going to go to The boys And Girls club Of
indianapolis here this, Year Coco cola is going to match.
THAT i think last year they raised over sixteen. Thousand
so a great work By Ziah franklin with. That but
at one point early in The Zire franklin press, conference

(37:36):
you all of a sudden Had Daniel jones walk, In
so all of a sudden you, got you, know this
throng of media making their way From Ziah franklin over
To Daniel jones And. JAMES i thought About Ziah franklin
on his podcast last year make a joke about wanting
to Play Daniel jones and The New York.

Speaker 5 (37:51):
Giants, yes and now the cliff someone actually tagged me in.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
It now that last week.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Is a fellow captain With Daniel jones and he's the.
Quarterback Desire franklin, like it's amazing that this is.

Speaker 5 (38:06):
Happening so you think that that is the first thing you,
Say hey, man you, Know i'm sorry by WHAT i.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
SAID i, mean do you have To, NO i don't.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
Know if you have, TO i don't might just keep.
MOVING i don't. Know he's moving. On Daniel, jones but
he asks with.

Speaker 5 (38:21):
US i don't know if he's even seen the, clip
so maybe you just take them to the the grave
a little. Bit BUT i am curious to see How
zaire's media appearances go this. YEAR i know he's just
joined the five to twenty podcasts With Jeff tigue another, uh,
WELL i just can't say another Because zayer will tell
you he's From, philly but Another indianapolis based, athlete you,

(38:44):
Know Jeff tigue and the former.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
Pacer but that weekly, appearance.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
They don't hold back on that, PODCAST.

Speaker 5 (38:51):
I, know And i'm, thinking just whatever you, do you
can't in all, seriousness we truly. Can't, YEAH i don't,
Know marked AND i have to hit the dumb button
a couple of times playing those. Clips but in all,
selousness some of the drama we saw last year With
zaire And pat McAfee And zaire in the comments putting
his foot in his mouth a few, times that can't

(39:11):
happen in a. Game that can't be a conversation you're
having for a guy who is a team captain FOR
i believe the fifth and sixth time in his.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
CAREER i do want to share this From Brad brad
chimes in here on the text line he, goes this
is the best roster ballots put together in his. Tenure
fans are just pissy Because richardson wasn't picked as the,
starter which was the right. Decision If aar wants a
job and he's get better and earn, It i'm optimistic
about this. SEASON i do think there is some truth
In brad's statement of you, know we can continue to
do what we did for the first ten minutes right

(39:38):
there and talk about the apathy, like, yes we're breaking.
News there is apathy about this cult. Season it's probably
more big picture apathy than. Anything but if you do
want to live in the short term, BUBBLE i think
there are some things on this roster that you can
point to and have optimism. About and, again you play
in THE Afc, south and you know you've won eight
to nine games the last two. Years so if you're

(40:00):
a little bit better at catching the, football if you're
a little bit better at, quarterback and you're a little
bit better on, defense and field goals does eight, yeah,
sure field goals it does eight and nine become you know. Ten,
now don't say That mark will have you saying twelve
wins by a week and a half from. Now. Now of,
course the flip side of that is And james you
pointed this out earlier in the. Week all your wins

(40:22):
last year by one score and the last time this
team beat quality, quarterback you, Know James boyd was still In.
Champagne so that is an.

Speaker 5 (40:32):
Act, no, no this is this Is chiefs a. Razor
my first year on the, beat they got him at.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
HOME i remember that.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
GAME i, mean if you look at it full, tires you,
Know Lamar jackson week three of the twenty twenty three.
Season you look at the quarterbacks they have beaten since,
Then it's one of the more pathetic lists you'll. See
SO i get, it and you know there is some
reason to, say you know, What Tyler, Warren, okay oh,
wow they finally invest in the. Secondary oh, okay the
defense isn't going to be an elementary ish type. Scheme

(40:59):
under stand that big picture, Though where is that light
at the end of the?

Speaker 3 (41:03):
Tunnel, also how tough will you?

Speaker 5 (41:07):
Be that has been a big factor For Shane psychen
and want to create more of an. Ads you mentioned
having four hundred more, plays you, know with team periods
throughout training camp that he had the year.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
Before will that help you?

Speaker 5 (41:20):
Finish BECAUSE i think that is one of the things
that we haven't seen from this, team especially as of you,
know the more recent. Years they can't finish games and
they can't finish. Seasons every year they're right there and it's, Like,
okay what's going to go wrong this? Time how are
you going to beat? Yourself how are you gonna let
some team that shouldn't you, know have a chance to
beat you embarrass? YOU i mean last year with The giants, Game,

(41:42):
yeah they want the break and they're probably gonna miss
the playoffs anyway at that.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
Point but you cannot have a performance.

Speaker 5 (41:48):
Like that when everyone knows if we lose this, game it's,
over and you go out there and Let Drew locke
look like Prime Eli manning or something like. That so that,
that to me is one of the Things i'm very
curious to see is all of this talk about, toughness, tenacity,
edge will it transfer to you winning and not just,
winning but winning in perhaps like ugly, ways you know
WHAT i, Mean like it doesn't have to be. Pretty

(42:09):
you just got to get, up you, know one more
point the other team.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
Two, nine, ten seventy is the text line number calling
if you want to be a part of the. Show
And harrison from The South side has a question for.
Everyone is it possible The colts will be a top
ten offense and a bottom ten. Defense best skilled position
group in a long? Time but secondary is banged up
and long in the tooth in some. Places he's just.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
Carrying, too such a funny. Phrase everybody's over twenty. Nine
little dentsher is coming. TOO i don't think that that,
bad is?

Speaker 1 (42:38):
It BUT.

Speaker 3 (42:41):
I CAN'T i really probably can't see either.

Speaker 5 (42:43):
ONE i, mean the defense has been bottom ten the
last couple of. Years ACTUALLY i want to say there
might have been bottom ten every year when it comes
to points allowed per game during The Gus bradley three year.
Era BUT i can't see them in a top ten. Offense,
YEAH i Mean taylor would probably have to legal league
and rush was something he will have to ball. Out
he'd have to be like all pro.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
In my, Opinion and you, know that, ASPECT i think
is one that you look to and, okay can that
be an elite? ELEMENT i mean last Year taylor was
damn good in this three, games so you, Know.

Speaker 5 (43:13):
But denver happened and now people don't care. Anymore but, yeah,
SURE i agree with. You he was balling pure. Numbers oh,
absolutely you know are there for this. Team we did
get a text here At JAMES i forget was carl Orce.
Gordon was she on the sidelines during the. Preseason that's
a great. QUESTION i did not think to check.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
THAT i know she was up in the booth in
the last game because she was doing an interview. There
BUT i on the, sideline AND i think she had
TOLD i don't, know maybe it was JJ's tinkerb it's
from The. COLTS i think she had said at some
point she probably won't be on the. SIDELINE i don't
know if that's already going to be here week, one
but again her father and the ring of honor coming
up On sunday for those in, attendance you will get

(43:50):
for the boss t shirts and it sounds like The
colts will. Honor jimmers said a couple other ways to
be announced here Before sunday at one.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
O'clock all, right looking forward to all that come up
up in a. Moment we'll take it like ahead to
week one in The National Football. League just outside even
what the culture, doing what are the other divisional opponents?
Doing and some other key games as. Well we've Got
i've got to know today a special one at football.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
Related what do we Got mark? Today not spoiling it? Now,
okay thank you. Too all.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
RIGHT i was gonna cheat a little bit there and
see where you're. Headed but it's all straight ahead here
as we continue on ninety three five and one o
seven Five The.

Speaker 8 (44:23):
Fan you were listening to a fan morning show on
Sports radio ninety three five and one oh seven Five The.

Speaker 4 (44:37):
Fan.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
AH i love this.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
THEME i love the little robots to come on the
screen right before they go to the to the field the.

Speaker 6 (44:45):
Game this Is this is my second favorite Theme Sunday
Night football ON Nbc number.

Speaker 3 (44:50):
One this is close number.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
TWO i hear. THIS i think A pat Summer all's.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
VOICE i still like The Monday Night football team.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
Myself that's my. Favorite i've wanted us which one the
actual Old Monday night Fo.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
That's a great.

Speaker 5 (45:02):
One i've always wanted to do the intro where they asked,
them you know what their position is or? Whatever james,
boy you, Know university Of illinois, safety AND i would
not say what. SCHOOL i would just LIE i would
Say James Boy, Harvard, Princeton. Yale, yeah because some of
them don't take it. Serious they say they're elementary school

(45:24):
all the time. EXACTLY i would definitely have fun with,
that but that always gives me the little, jitters, Like,
okay we're underway.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
Here we used to use the Nickname Twelfth Avenue tech
at my. School that'd be it right. There there you,
go Jeff, Rickard Twelfth Avenue. Tech cody checks in. Too
have you guys mentioned The clippers news? Yet the REASON
i read that one on the text line is because
you were just talking about that during the break With Kawhi.
Leonard up to a little something something with The Steve balmer, Yesterday,

(45:51):
right what's going on?

Speaker 5 (45:52):
There shout out To Kawhi, leonard best gammer in. Sports,
NO i Actually i've listened to bits of the. Podcast
was in the whole. Thing it's eighty. Minutes shout To
pabulatory for breaking the. Story but Now i'm just very
curious see how THE nba a text this or reviews,
this because this is serious. Stuff if they did circumvent

(46:13):
the salary cap for those, listening creative ways to Pay
let me back up the story here is that in,
essence The clippers create a fake company to Pay Kawhi
leonard to help, yeah, yeah to help Recruit Kawhi leonard
and free. Agency, obviously if you pay him outside of
the salary, cap that is a big no no in any.

(46:34):
League so the question now is can you prove? That
can you you have all these bomb show reporting for.
PABLEATORY i don't deny that he did some great reporting,
there and it's certainly some head scratching, developments but can
you prove? It and SO i, expect you, know big
lawyers on one, side big lawyers on the other to
figure out what is at the root of all of
this because right now it is not passing the smell, tests.

Speaker 6 (46:55):
Which there's all those mattress firms in the, area because
there's nobody buying all these.

Speaker 3 (46:59):
Mattresses there's there's no way there's a vacuum cleaner. Store
WHENEVER i go To.

Speaker 5 (47:05):
CHAMPAGNE i went back to my, UNIVERSITY uh last, week
AND i drive past. It it's in Downtown, champagne which
downtown Pagn champagne is like three.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
Blocks i'm, like.

Speaker 5 (47:14):
Why is there a vacuum cleaner? Store and there's like
Old vince's. Vacuums i'm, like nobody is buying this, Stuff
like you have to be doing the ne farious.

Speaker 3 (47:21):
THING i think.

Speaker 7 (47:23):
Th or.

Speaker 6 (47:24):
Something i'm, like there's no, way AND i think of
breaking back the vacuum. Store you want to disappear from this.
Earth exactly what do you think punishment would? Be let's
say they did do. This let's say That Steve ballmer
whatever is in the wrong. Here what is league punishment.

Speaker 4 (47:39):
For the L A.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
Clippers that's gotta be a huge fine to the team
and probably some kind of a suspension For ballmer where
he can't be the frind, LIKE i hate financial owner
finds no BUT i think you couple that with, dude
you're out of the league for a. Year, WELL I
i MEAN i would go to draft. Picks what about
a postseason? BAN i mean you got to come down

(48:00):
with the hammer here, right.

Speaker 1 (48:04):
Looked like aerancial ban of an owner or a financial
loss of an. Owner i'm always, like.

Speaker 8 (48:10):
What does that?

Speaker 1 (48:11):
Matter they got? MORE i, mean.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
Well there was printing money. Here, well here's a reference
point for.

Speaker 5 (48:17):
You so the last time that THE nba had a
provable case of cap circumvention was when The timberwolves made
a legal deals with Forward Joe. Smith this was in
two thousand when it all came, out and at the,
Time David, commissioner he Fined Glenn, taylor the then owner
of The, wolves three point five. Million he voided the

(48:38):
contract For Joe, smith and then he stripped the team
of its next five first round picks and then two
eventually got. RETURNED i guess you know after you dispute,
it and they suspended the owner of the general manager
for a. Year so those are, heavy heavy fines and implications.
There so this is not something that will just go.
Away BUT i did get a kick out Of Pabo

(48:59):
tour shout to him also joining us at the athletic dropping,
that And i'm waiting for like the other insiders to
give me some other. Information i'm, Like SAM'S i don't
want to hear about the NEW Nba All Star game,
format which no one will watch because no one cares
because it's.

Speaker 3 (49:13):
Garbage i'm, like what are you?

Speaker 1 (49:14):
Doing where is the other? Information where is the stuff
that really?

Speaker 5 (49:17):
Matters and so shouts to real sports journalism coming back
with Bibble tour on his.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
PODCAST i saw that podcast and he was pointing out
where he had gone on the website what he. Found
isn't this? Interesting this happens at this date at the
same time that this. Happened you mentioned the company if
you want to call a shell company or something like.
That but ALSO i would think on a grander, Scale, kevin,
like if if you are like The Federal Trade commission
and you See Steve baumer doing, that do you say to, Yourself,

(49:43):
HUH i wonder what Else Steve baumer might be up
to out in the. World, well and they started on
maybe turning over some rocks and kicking some things.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
Around. Right, LOOK i wasn't born. YESTERDAY i realized there's
probably some shady sh shell stop there going on here
with people in high ranking positions and professionals sports and
probably more than probably college sports. Certainly so, yes name
image likeness has never stood for the acronym that it
actually name image. Likeness it's never been that it's paid for.

(50:11):
Play SO i get that that's probably what we're going
To but, again if this is, REAL i, Mean Adam
silver's got to absolutely come down with the hammer on.
It so PART i frankly just wanted to be, real
just see what the punishment.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
Is it's uh and we all kind of we don't. Know,
WELL i, mean this isn't. It do we think this
is an isolated incident throughout THE?

Speaker 1 (50:33):
Nba, no no.

Speaker 5 (50:34):
CHANCE i mean the question is how many owners are really?
Upset are they kind of, like, well just don't really
check our records and kind of see what we've done
in the. Past but you, know you know the best
thing about this is we have someone who is, very
very talkative at the center of, This Kawhi, leonard so
he will explain it.

Speaker 3 (50:52):
All and then he'll explain it. Everything after that.

Speaker 5 (51:00):
Wild, STORY i could not believe WHAT i was reading
and listening to wild stuff, man all that and then
also you didn't. Win i'm, like, man you did all
this cheat The clippers at least with the flake, gate you,
know With TOM bradyo.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
Won, yeah how do you The? Clippers if they're gonna,
cheat you gotta. Win if you're gonna, cheat you gotta.
Win i'm picturing like now local owners here and what
they would have their players. Like i'm picturing Like jim
merces hockey rink on his you, know old property, there
and Like Andrew, luck you, know doing the zamboni And,
okay you, know here's here's fifty grand. Granted Jim mercy

(51:34):
Gave Andrew luck quite a lot of money After.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Steve palmers could have said that they've been banning us
from the postseason for. Years you got to rise up
against THE Nba clippers. Fans they're out to get.

Speaker 5 (51:43):
Us, also real quick to pivot back to The colts
for a, second BECAUSE i could talk about that all, day,
honestly because it's fascinating to. Me shout out to my
Guy Clark wade from any star videographer. Extraordinariy he mentioned
during the break That Carli Ersa gordon was in fact
on the sideline with the headset throughout the, preseason so
perhaps that will continue throughout the regular. Season he got

(52:04):
a photo of it and everything like, that so they Can.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
Colleen Colleen colleen here in the text change she'd mentioned
that as, Well so, yeah THAT i guess we'll see
that here in the regular. Season and AGAIN i got
real no issue with. It, NO i don't know have
a problem with, That i'll, Say and if you, do.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
Who's gonna stop her from doing?

Speaker 2 (52:23):
It you spend, obviously if you're billion dollar, operation you
have NO i have no problem.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
With somebody being down on the sidelines doing whatever it
is their.

Speaker 5 (52:33):
Toy the way she's explained it in the, past it
makes sense to. Me you want to know what's going.
On she's not on the headset saying run this. Play
she's trying to understand football. Better AND i think she
probably has or not even. THINK i know she has
better knowledge in the general public and probably better knowledge
everybody in this room when it comes to running a
football team and things of that. Nature so at this,
point again she said, It we've said. It it comes

(52:53):
down to, winning and can you do that On sunday
no matter what plays you?

Speaker 2 (52:57):
RUN Span Morning show ninety three five five to the.
Fan we've GOT Nfl week one coming our way, tonight
The Philadelphia eagles taking on The Dallas. Cowboys jasonammer going
to stop by in the nine o'clock hour and give
us some insight as to what you might want to
do with that extra twenty dollars bill you have hanging
out of your. Pocket Mark, DYTON i know you're always
in on that every.

Speaker 5 (53:17):
WEEK i Wish, yeah my Boy mark needs some. Advice
are you already down bad?

Speaker 3 (53:21):
Stink SO i need SOME nfl. Help that's how you
go on the whole.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
Folks.

Speaker 4 (53:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
Uh text line continues to check in. Here jordan Says
bomber is the eighth richest person in the. World the
financial punishment would be. Silly there does get to be.

Speaker 5 (53:39):
That that has to be crazy, Though like the amount
of money they could find him and it wouldn't even
be a drop in the.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
Bucket, yeah the financial punishments are just so.

Speaker 5 (53:49):
Sick we were talking about would you go in the
porter party to get your money out plane week?

Speaker 1 (53:55):
Before can you restrict their salary? Cap situation you take, Away,
hey you can't execute. Trades what do you think.

Speaker 5 (54:01):
About the punishment debt was previously handed down because that was.
Severe i'm gonna lose five past round.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
Picks The Glenn taylor three and a half. Million who?
CARES i mean that that, like but there has to
be a financial element to. ME i think you need
to restrict the finances of the actual. Team take the
salary cap and say, no you're working a Different you
have to meet this salary. Cap now the league is
at one hundred and forty, million and you've got to
get everything within one hundred and ten. Million that's the
PENALTY i would do not say give me three and

(54:26):
a half million out of your. Pocket it's, saying all,
right how CAN i hurt your team Because Steve, balmer.

Speaker 3 (54:31):
Well you don't think five first round picks is, no,
no not rushing.

Speaker 1 (54:33):
Enough, no, Honest i'm not about the financial. Part the
first thing you read was three and a half, million,
right THAT i don't care. ABOUT i don't care about
any punishment that has to do with the pocket of these.
Guys WHAT i care about is more of how does
this restrict your team from? Winning Because, balmer we, know is.
Crazy he wants to. Win have you seen that this,
guy he's nuts on the. Sidelines he's creating the stadium

(54:54):
that has a student section and blah blah blah and
all this. Stuff take the salary, cap make it, different
take away their first round. Picks you know we do
see postseason bands in college, sports should we see it
in pro?

Speaker 3 (55:06):
Sports i'm not banning. Them, No i'm not doing.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
That why not.

Speaker 3 (55:12):
Because they didn't win if they had cheated in, ONE.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
I, mean their clippers have not been horrific here With
Paul george And. Kuhy let's not act like they're out there, draft.

Speaker 3 (55:20):
But say they haven't Been. CLIPPERS i don't know what
WHAT i put a postseason ban on? Them i'm serious about.
This now you got me, THINKING i never thought about.
That that would be.

Speaker 5 (55:31):
SOMETHING i actually think that they wouldn't do that because
of how it wold affect the rest of the. League
how would you even go about a playoff seating with
an odd number and all.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
THAT i, mean the team has missed the playoffs all the.

Speaker 5 (55:44):
Time we still got to play The. Clippers you can't ban.
Them so so have you been from the? Postseason are
you gonna go out there and try go?

Speaker 2 (55:50):
Hockey you're only allowed to play if you're on The.

Speaker 1 (55:52):
CLIPPERS i don't know that would never.

Speaker 5 (55:54):
Happen oh, NO i mean, again If i'm a player
on The clippers AND i had nothing to do with,
this If i'm the seventh guy on the, roster how
the heck AM i being bad from the?

Speaker 3 (56:01):
Postseason but The clippers have?

Speaker 1 (56:02):
One didn't?

Speaker 4 (56:03):
They?

Speaker 1 (56:03):
Did they not make The Western conference? Finals in the?

Speaker 5 (56:05):
Bubble wasn't? It actually it wasn't the? BUBBLE i mean
when was this pre? Bubble this is the lunch time
about ancient. TIMES i feel like in the last was
different when this. Happened have made a playoff, on have they?

Speaker 3 (56:15):
Not, Man i'm about, it.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
But you look at the entire history of the franchise
is just. Miserable well that doesn't mean he's. NO i get.
That i'm not, saying don't like you just let them
off the hook to the worst of the conference.

Speaker 5 (56:27):
Finals in twenty twenty twenty twenty, one the world was.
DIFFERENT i was covering high school.

Speaker 2 (56:33):
SPORTS i agree With, kevin, THOUGH i think there needs
to be something done with the salary cap in addition
to the.

Speaker 5 (56:40):
Draft even if you can pay the, Fine i'm still
finding you it's the principle of the.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
Matter we can do that. Too, yeah you, Know i'll
do everything you just, Said.

Speaker 5 (56:47):
Kevin i'll sprinkle in a little bit of that three
point five. Million come about that. Money, also Somewhere Herb
simon is, saying you, KNOW i know how to build
teams the right way for.

Speaker 2 (56:56):
Cheap mark wants to go Animal, house to have bend
over and get the paddle With Steve walmer. Too maybe it's,
like on top of all the financial, punishments it's Fan morning.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
Show that's a good.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
TURN, Whoa let's get it back to The, colts though
for a minute there there are a lot of people
on the text LINE. Kb they're tired than. Negativity they're
ready to. Go it's a new, season zero and. Zero
let's put it on the, field let's get it.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
Done. YEAH i will try to attempt it today and again.
Tomorrow you. Know, yes the big picture concern is. Obvious
it's not going anywhere anytime. Soon but tonight they're gonna play,
football and they're gonna do it again On, friday and
they're gonna do it a whole lot On sunday and On.
Monday and THE NFL a big reason why so many

(57:43):
people love this league is you get the four new
playoff teams every, year and there seems to be a
bit of a you don't, Know and, honestly THE. Cj
stroud goes out and gets blown up In week one
and gets. Hurt THE Afc south turns upside. Down so,
YES i.

Speaker 9 (57:58):
WILL i.

Speaker 1 (57:59):
Know i'm just looking forward To sunday BECAUSE i do
think there are some different things with this football. TEAM
i don't think there's enough difference that all of a
SUDDEN i rethink my opinions on the. Regime in the
last ten years and all of. That, no BUT i
can live in a short term bubble here and we'll
react to these games and see what. Happens seventeen games
at a, long long, season let's.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
GO i could see The colts winning Against miami at
home On sunday and coming out On tuesday morning and
you look at THE Afc south standings and they're all
alone in first. Place all these divisional games are up
for grabs this. Week carolina And. Jacksonville we have no
idea What jacksonville is going to. BE i would probably
make them the favorite in that. Game houston's got to
go on the road to play The rams go up

(58:42):
Against sean. McVay you never know what's going to happen.
There Matthew stafford can Move Denver broncos taking on The Tennessee,
titans you would think that they're gonna win that football.
Game why not go one and know while the rest
of the division goes zho and. One there's your optimism right,
There and you're laughing at me for.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
THAT i Just i'm, like, man.

Speaker 5 (58:59):
The mighty have, Fallen AND i was thinking this is
a team At, Peyton, manny and the playoffs were just
Automatic andrew luck to a. Degree the playoffs are, automatic
and we're sitting here talking about he being first place
After week.

Speaker 3 (59:11):
One lord have mercy, first.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
That would, that first of, all this is.

Speaker 3 (59:14):
Reality here's the point, THOUGH i know that's Why i'm.
Laughing i'm not laughing at Jem i'm just laughing like the.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
Situation but here's the point Where i'm. Going that would
mean The colts won their opening. Game, yeah let's start, there.

Speaker 3 (59:26):
First time since twenty.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
Thirteen and again it's a Massive week one. GAME i
Know i've said this a lot here over the past three,
months But miami is a team THAT i think could
very well be right there with you at the end
of the. Season AND i, mean if you look at these,
Quarterbacks Mac, Jones Mason rudolph Will, Levis Bryce, young a
corpse Of Aaron, Rodgers aidan, O'Connell Mitchell, trubisky these are

(59:49):
the quarterbacks you've beaten in the last two. Years you
need to start beating the tours of the. World and
not to say two is like AN mvp can or
The drew, locks but he is definitely above the level
that you've lost to or that you have. BEATEN i
should say and, yes To jeff's, point you've lost to
The Drew locks and The Jake brownings and The taylor
Heine keys of the. World so you know you can

(01:00:10):
THE nfl. World you can create mood swings in a
hurry with a fan. Base and, yes the DAMAGE i
think is largely done to a lot to rewrite the
script on the overall big picture of where the franchise
is at right. Now but here in the short, term
people are tired of going To lucas Hool saum and
watching a, loser Particularly week. One they don't want to

(01:00:31):
go there in sixty minutes of football and walk out
of there and watch the other teams. Celebrate they want
to see. Wins they want to be, okay here's optimism
In october And november And december and not needing nine
things to go your way over the final three weeks
of the.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
Season, well we will find out On, Sunday and LIKE i,
said it's a big day here on the. Fan it's always.
Fun john's always going to have a good time at
nine o'clock with the ride to kick, off and then
of course the entire crew gets you ready to go
from ten to.

Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
One kickoff is one.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
O'clock you'll hear it all right here live on ninety
three five and one o seven five The. Fan And
i'm looking forward to just being in AN nfl stadium
On sundays again because that's one of my favorite places to.
BE i like getting the stadiums in arenas. Early i've
said this to you. GUYS i like watching them come to.
LIFE i like watching all the workers and the teams
and everybody else, arrived and the concession stands starting to

(01:01:20):
get opened up and people starting to do their.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
Thing there's just there's this feeling of rebirth all the
time WHEN i go and do, that especially at the
beginning of a. YEAR.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
Jb you know What i'm talking, about because you're always
just putting cotton candy on the stick, out that's, right and.
Pretzels don't forget the.

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
Pretzels mike, McDaniel undefeated in week one to a undefeated
in week, one does that matter.

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
Considering it's week, One i'd say yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
To brought up an interesting point yesterday in his press.
Conference tool was asked about just like the defensive look
of Lou, anarumo and he brought up something where it's,
like given how our personnel. Is AND i don't think
this is like too necessarily. BRAGGING i think it's just
how unique my. Is he goes, teams do teams defend
us differently than they defend really a large portion of THE,

(01:02:05):
nfl which is probably have they keep in mind for
The colts in week? One you know how much Will
Loui Ana rumo's, defense you, know Defending Tyreek hill And
Jalen waddles a little different than defending you, Know Bo
nicks And Courtland sutton in week. Two SO i think
that's just a little bit of an angle to coming
up On sunday because you know full Well miami's gonna

(01:02:25):
try to dial up some, shots and on, paper The
colts should have an ADVANTAGE d line Versus MIAMI'S o.
Line that should definitely be an advantage for The colts
and has to be for them to. Win let's get it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
GOING i love this. Exchange excuse, me this exchange between
The chase AND kb on the text line this, Morning
chase writes it's better to be consistently reliable than occasionally
extraordinary talking about the quarterback, situation And kevin says reliability
In Daniel jones' career, though aren't really going? Together And
chase laughed at, that because that's what we're that's what
we're looking at right. Now, well, Again Daniel jones is

(01:02:56):
Not Anthony. Richardson but Also Daniel jones hasn't been. Good you,
KNOW i THINK i said to you last, Week. James
the colts keep on saying the word.

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
Consistent, well is he just consistently getting to the same
answer That Anthony richardson got? To you, know if you
look at the, numbers there's not a large difference Between
Anthony richardson's career In Daniel jones's. Career now they operate very.
Differently how they get to the final answer is very,
different and that's what the cults are banking. On they
think the operation will lead to. More but like, more

(01:03:26):
consistency doesn't mean you're. Better you can be consistently bad,
NOW i, Mean, james you've been all over. This how
many turnovers To Daniel jones having his.

Speaker 3 (01:03:36):
Career seventy, games play seventy three?

Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
Turnovers so, again that's good, consistency one turnover every, game,
seemingly but that doesn't necessarily mean you're. Better that's the.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
Question all, right we'll continue to talk about The colts
and The Miami dolphins coming Up sunday afternoon at. One the, Meantime,
mark let's check.

Speaker 8 (01:03:54):
You it, down the morning checkdown on ninety sweet five
and one oh seven five.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
Head and in the week one it's when you're supposed
to be the healthiest all season. Long and the question for,
you after having an injury report released yesterday by The
colts prior To week, one how healthy are?

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
They James boy very.

Speaker 5 (01:04:13):
Healthy Tyler goodson was the only player on the injury report.
Yesterday he was limited in practice with an elbow, injury
but still a good sign for his development in, progress
considering he dislocated that elbow a couple weeks ago in
the colts second preseason.

Speaker 2 (01:04:28):
GAME i know you guys are not allowed to watch
much practice these days as we get closer to the,
season but anything newsworthy coming out of The colts camp, Yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:04:36):
No we watch pretty much. Nothing, yes so we're out
there to take, Attendance james Am. Carris If Tyler goodson can't,
go is That Khalil herbert you list suspectly the Fourth
both of those guys on the practice, squad and it
would mean you, KNOW Dj giddens is a fifth round
rookie you would think would have a big game one.
ROLE i Think Jonathan taylor is going to carry a heavy.

(01:04:57):
Workload he has pretty much his entire. Career but, still you,
know If taylor gets banged up or if you want to,
rotate you're going to be throwing in a bit of
an inexperienced option behind.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
Him, yeah and especially if you're gonna go in and SPELL.
JT i would think maybe what you're talking, about if
goods and can't go, that maybe it is A Khalil
herbert just because of the experience he has in THE,
nfl Recognizing blitz is picking him, up things like.

Speaker 1 (01:05:18):
That so we'll have to wait and.

Speaker 2 (01:05:19):
See but, again our pregame coverage starts at nine Am sunday.
Morning the ride to kick off WITH jmb will say
you're right up the kickoff and the. Course Greg ragstrug
will have the post game for you right here ninety
three five one or SEVEN Nfl later on, tonight The
Dallas cowboys play at The Philadelphia. Eagles that one starts
at eight twenty this. Evening eight and a half point
favorites for The. Eagles man The cowboys getting no. Respect Mark, dydon.

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
You get stuck on that all?

Speaker 6 (01:05:44):
Week, yes you, Do, Jerry, well that's what happens when
you ship off twenty five year old pro bowler And Micah.
Parsons you get an eight and a half point deficit
against the. Champs we'll find out what Jays nammer thinks
about that in the next.

Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
Hour. HERE i need a, winner our betting. Analyst we'll
stay t me.

Speaker 2 (01:06:00):
A sick manwin. Er, jimmy how that? Works what else
can we tell? You The fever were off, tonight but
they will play Again friday against The Chicago. Sky they
may not have to Face Angel, reese, however we'll find
out later. Today James boy.

Speaker 5 (01:06:14):
Correct, yeah if her technical foul is, rescinded she reached
the threshold where now she would be suspended for her next.
GAME i think it's eight for THE wnba got her
eighth technical foul last, night and judging by the play
where she essentially backhand another player in the, FACE i
don't see how that gets. Rescinded so that is a
big break for The, fever who are trying to hang

(01:06:36):
on to that eighth and final playoff spot in THE.

Speaker 3 (01:06:39):
Wnba good news.

Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
And bad news for them last. Night they are in
the eighth. Spot they're a half game Behind. Seattle that's
kind of the bad, News but the good news is
the team trying to chase them down to the night.
Spot The La sparks lost last, night so they have
a game and a half advantage on them with just
a few to.

Speaker 5 (01:06:53):
Play, yeah everything's kind of breaking their, way so again
you have to handle business tomorrow. Night The sky are
not a good. Team they're ten and third this. YEAR
i believe they've lost tim of their last. Eleven so
go out there and beat them like you have pretty
much Since Caitlin clark has entered the. LEAGUE i know
people try to dub that as a, rivalry but it
really hasn't been has been very.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
Lopsided Indy carr action maybe have come to a close
for the twenty twenty five, season but the headlines have
not stopped.

Speaker 1 (01:07:18):
Spinning Kevin, bowen what we learned, Yesterday, yeah musical chairs have.
Begun Colton herta over to The cadillac, TEAM i think
as a test driver there IN f one and so
Will power who. Again Team penske said enough was enough
after seventeen years he now will be in that twenty
six car With Team. Andretti that'll look real, weird but,

(01:07:39):
boy the revenge to it for will power could be pretty.
Special social, media you thought TCUs account was great after
they Beat Chapel bill On monday, Night Team andretti took
some victory lapse yesterday. There so we'll see how that
all plays out come next. Year but, great great drama
here so far out For Indy. Car still think some
other musical chairs to be. Decided but, Yeah colton, HEARD

(01:07:59):
i think you just were left oney. More he definitely
had moments and, was you, know Young american that people
thought could potentially be a star In Indy car but
never got. There not a lot of five hundred success.

Speaker 2 (01:08:10):
Either all, RIGHT, nba there was a little bit of.
News more tweaks to The All Star game are, Coming.
James there'll be three teams that'll play Around robin two
and comprised entirely of The United states players and one
with international. Players and you AND i both had the same,
reaction which, Was.

Speaker 5 (01:08:27):
I'll you have a snoring sound over, There, mark because
you're putting me to sleep. ALREADY i couldn't care less
what happens with The All Star. Game in THE, nba
they have tried. EVERYTHING i believe last year they might
have Had Mister beast out there for some time that
didn't work and.

Speaker 3 (01:08:43):
Healthfully Gen z or GEN x or whatever was.

Speaker 5 (01:08:46):
Interested but it is just a bad part of the
season AND i think all of us will be better
off not paying attention to.

Speaker 4 (01:08:52):
It it is what it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
IS i do think of all the, things an attempt
at The world VERSUS usa is your only. CHANCE i,
Know mark you know speaks from a hockey, standpoint that
has turned into a, great great. Exhibition now, Again i'm
not holding my, breath but this is the right attentph
if you're going to try. Anything there may.

Speaker 5 (01:09:10):
BE i just DON'T i don't think like when you
straight away from more traditional basketball and the way it's
set up if it Was world VERSUS, usa kind of
like the women have done whenever it's An olympic, year you,
know you have like The olympic team versus the other all.
Stars that's usually a pretty competitive. Setting but a three
team round robin sort of, THING i just don't see

(01:09:31):
how that excites, anybody whether It's world or you, KNOW
nba OR us players so we'll see what. Happens and
also you got a bank on those players being, there,
like for, Example luca Is a is a Perennial All,
star but he wasn't one last year because he was.

Speaker 1 (01:09:44):
Hurt so something people get on paper An, Sga luca
web And Yama, Jokic jannis starting. Five that is a
little Different pascal coming off the, Bench Pascal Bendic.

Speaker 3 (01:09:55):
MATHEN i saw a video Of benedic mathen working. Out
he looked F, kevin.

Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
You, know, yeah, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:10:09):
SO i wasn't going.

Speaker 5 (01:10:09):
THERE i was just talking about how he was getting
out on the basketball. Court but if you like his,
physique you, KNOW i can't knock you on.

Speaker 1 (01:10:15):
That the man looked. BIGGER i watched his. Tape not
helping your. Cause james, agrees he's just afraid to say.

Speaker 8 (01:10:24):
This don't you put.

Speaker 1 (01:10:26):
Words in my.

Speaker 5 (01:10:26):
Mouth uh uh all, right this is always Don't i'm
assume you. Now but the WAY i look at, it,
seriously you, know, bigger, thicker or whatever you want to call.
It For Bendick, MATHEREN i do think that he is
going to be a twenty point per game score in upcoming.

Speaker 3 (01:10:43):
Season watching his, tape his bigger. Role he can score
in his.

Speaker 5 (01:10:46):
Sleep it's the other parts That i'm more concerned. About
BUT i do think he will certainly be in that
running for Most Improved player just by default because of his.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
Role mark you interested in baseball scores at this.

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
Point in, time please let's move.

Speaker 6 (01:10:58):
On that'd be.

Speaker 2 (01:10:59):
Great brace beat The cubs by a score of five
one last, Night reds loose To toronto thirteen to, Nine
cardinals over the, age five to.

nine to. Two they play In columbus again later on.

Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
Forward.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
Here funny how that works every football. Season, yeah and
now they're going to have WHAT reds is going to
have commercials in their. Weekend guess let's got to go
down that road right, now Because i'm.

Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
PISSED i don't like, It, MARK i don't like it
when you play The Shane syking cliff from he say
about his general, growth we talked so much ABOUT i
think non you Know stike in kind of head coaching,
stuff you, know, hey quarterback and developer and offensive play
caller and this and. THAT i also think he needs
some own growth here in year. Three again It's shane

(01:15:27):
sake and. Audio it's not the most, enlightening but nonetheless
here Was Shane seken's reaction yesterday when asked about where
he needs to grow going into your.

Speaker 10 (01:15:33):
Three, WELL i think just, everything like you learn as you, go,
Right so some things you learn and you want to,
tweak you, know just like even this morning in the team,
meeting just being more precise on how we're going to
win the. Game you, KNOW i always talk about how
to win the, game but it's, like, hey here are
the main. Things, right you can have like six or seven,
things but here are the three things that we need

(01:15:54):
to do on offense and defense and special teams to
win the. Game and be very clear and direct in.
That and LIKE i, said the messaging has got to
be on point every single week on how we need
to win the game and continue to be a.

Speaker 1 (01:16:06):
Leader.

Speaker 10 (01:16:06):
RIGHT i was talking about. Leadership it's an, inspire empowering
guide and that's my job as a head.

Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
Coach Is Shane styken a good head football coach to be?

Speaker 3 (01:16:15):
Determined that's a good answer From.

Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
Jeff is he a bad head football? Coach to be?

Speaker 5 (01:16:21):
DETERMINED i think when you're seventeen to seventeen through your
first two, seasons you're probably right there in the middle
with the quarterbacks that they have. Had, Yeah and, HONESTLY
i probably lean more towards on, you probably more good than.
NOT i know some people are probably listening, here Like,
James this guy.

Speaker 1 (01:16:39):
Stinks you know a.

Speaker 4 (01:16:40):
Lot of the.

Speaker 5 (01:16:42):
Perception or the RECEPTION i received about him is that
he is is he leader of? Men is everything he
say just words? Out does he ever give a real?
ANSWER i, mean even though clip you just, played is
there a real answer in.

Speaker 1 (01:16:54):
There, well, YEAH i mean he kept SAY i, mean
to be fair to, him he did, say you, know
six or seven items becomes two or. Three and you,
know if you think about a, leader is it better
to have concise messaging than, yeah lengthy messaging and shockingly
on The stiking, scale that is a real. Answer fair,
enough but AGAIN i think that is what you're up,
against is, like, okay, well AND i guess the counter

(01:17:15):
that would be, like did you not have three things last? Year, like, well,
again this is about growth as a head. Coach, YEAH i,
MEAN i mean he admitted last year at times he
did not conveyed his team what the standard was to
whatever play in THE. Nfl, OKAY i can, yeah SO
i can now get with. This he was an out

(01:17:37):
thirty eight year old first year head, coach so like
growth was. Needed again when you're banking on we've talked
so much About Anthony regis and we probably get lost
in the stiking. Shuffle and you know a lot of people, say,
hey it's THE, nfl we don't have time to grow
with head, coaches which you know is probably a different
subject because you know it's. Difficult do you go through retread.
Coaches is It Sean payton And denver or is it,

(01:17:58):
hey let's find you know the hot court e stiking
off That Super bowl. Run SO i GUESS i just
play that clip in general to say where does stike and?
Grow because there are TIMES i find it unfair to
Group stiching in With. BALLARD i think the resumes are totally.

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
Different AND i also think the head coach is completely
bound to what his quarterback is capable of doing for.

Speaker 1 (01:18:20):
Him but then he deserves a lot of blame for, that,
right some of it is he, wanted BECAUSE i MEAN
i think rich and like Should styching And ballard be
tied at the.

Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
Hip one of the Things i've always looked at you
were talking about offense is and what makes him? Better
AND i think they're really good offensive coordinators and head
coaches do this with good talent of. Quarterbacks it's obviously
a key, combination but it's probably waited a little more towards.
Quarterback you're not going to win in The National Football
league unless you're averaging at least seven point, seven seven
point eight or more yards per pass. Attempt it just doesn't.

(01:18:51):
Happen you can talk about running the ball all you.
Want if you don't have a quarterback that's in that,
range you're not going to win a lot of football.

Speaker 1 (01:18:58):
Games James Shane stiking has been better at his job
Than Chris ballard has been at his. JOB i believe that, statement.

Speaker 3 (01:19:05):
Yes but where are you going with?

Speaker 1 (01:19:07):
This so Should carly or S gordon factor that end
to her opinion when it's time to make decisions on,
them or Because Chris ballard is THE gm And Shane
sackins the head, coach AND nfl teams tie people at
the hip in those, positions they should be tied at the.
Hip six years more of service For ballard impact him

(01:19:27):
more than striking.

Speaker 5 (01:19:28):
MAN i would lame probably more towards them being tied
at the. Hip AND i go back to his comments,
about you, know growth and perhaps he's doing with his
list from six or seven things to, Three but, again
what does that mean when we got to see some.
Results we have to see what that means on the
actual football. Field you, know our guys gonna be tougher

(01:19:50):
or more dependable or have a higher. Standard BECAUSE i
understand you have to grow in your, role but you
don't get a has for what you've kind of allowed
happen the last couple of. Years and Again i've, LEANED
i leaned towards him being a very good play. Caller
still people will probably roll their eyes at that to a,
Degree but, NO i have to give him some flowers

(01:20:13):
with some of the quarterbacks he's worked with the last few.

Speaker 3 (01:20:14):
Years BUT.

Speaker 5 (01:20:17):
I don't know IF i can absolve him or even
untie him From Chris ballard, Like, no you still decided
to Bring antheerdson, here and you still are leading your,
team and in some of the biggest inflection points throughout your,
tenure you have fallen flat with your.

Speaker 3 (01:20:31):
Messaging so can that.

Speaker 1 (01:20:32):
Change on the other, side we've got a little bit
of An Anthony richardson potential trade sort of update FROM,
espn so we'll share that.

Speaker 2 (01:20:41):
IN, ok we'll do, that and we'll go Inside mark's mind.
Too that's coming up next ninety three five and one
on seven. Five the, fans he would literally just get
lost in the sea of human.

Speaker 1 (01:20:51):
Being he looked. Thick not only was it, long but
it was deep and. Wide people excited.

Speaker 3 (01:20:58):
Pull That, Mark, Oh i'm pulling, it pulling up really.

Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
QUICKLY whoa.

Speaker 8 (01:21:12):
If you were listening to a fan morning show On
Sports radio ninety three to five and one oh seven
Five The Fan fairly new.

Speaker 1 (01:21:19):
One this Is Amazon. Mark, YEAH i was gonna say
this is the newest of the. Bunch this Is Thursday
Night football On Amazon, prime but not tonight because it's
the season, open. Right there's.

Speaker 6 (01:21:28):
Confusion, yes it is ON nbc and then tomorrow night's
game will be on YouTube And YouTube.

Speaker 3 (01:21:33):
Tv there you go to figure that all.

Speaker 2 (01:21:36):
Out now you're, UPDATE i might be just as. Well
i'll probably be dual screening it.

Speaker 1 (01:21:41):
With the fevered mind BECAUSE i do need to win
that basketball. Game we'll talk more about that.

Speaker 2 (01:21:44):
Later, kevin you were mentioning a. TRADE i. DON'T i
don't even know what we'd call, it just talk About Anthony,
richardson if something might happen in the future or. Whatever
what were you referring.

Speaker 1 (01:21:54):
To, Yeah so ESPN's Jeremy Fowler Dan grasiano had this
report and kind of a week one buzzy the news,
update if you. Will Derek, Jackson richardson's, agent did meet
in person With Chris. Boward. Again we had heard From
Stephen holder that there are just some questions about question

(01:22:14):
of trust from The richardson camp with the cult, organization
but they met in person last week With Chris boward
to clear the. Air jackson again he. Is richardson's agent
called the meeting very constructive and just a chance for
the sides to let feelings be. Known though a trade
was not, requested the topic was broached in the. Meeting
ballard reinforced and he has no plans to. Trade richardson

(01:22:36):
still believes in the Quarterback richardson isn't making any. Ways
he will remain, professional backing Up jones and maintaining his.
Readiness part of the camp's frustration is that all parties
acknowledge patients would be required When richardson was. Drafted so
that update FROM Espn Jeremy, Faller Dan, graziano.

Speaker 2 (01:22:54):
All, right, well keep an eye on all That. Mark

Him don't have a? Defense what are you?

Speaker 1 (01:24:13):
Doing all?

Speaker 6 (01:24:14):
RIGHT Afc East Buffalo, BILLS i see them still owning that.

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
Division they're the next iteration of The New England patriots
up there's going to be a.

Speaker 5 (01:24:22):
While, YEAH i can't pick against The. Bills that rest
of that division kind of.

Speaker 1 (01:24:25):
Thinks, YEAH i am curious What New england will do
With Drake may And Mike. Rable you, KNOW i Thought
may showed some things late in the.

Speaker 2 (01:24:33):
Year second best team in that.

Speaker 1 (01:24:34):
Division, YEAH i don't. KNOW i don't know If i'm
ready to write Off miami just, yet but, YES i
will go With buffalo UH Afc.

Speaker 6 (01:24:42):
South i'm going to be you, Know i'm gonna be
late to the party of The colts finally get the division.

Speaker 3 (01:24:47):
Wins So i'm gonna say The.

Speaker 1 (01:24:48):
Texans, yes, Indeed Houston texans for the third straight.

Speaker 3 (01:24:53):
YEAR i gotta Go.

Speaker 5 (01:24:55):
Texans quarterback play has determined a lot in the division
last few, years and they had the best. Quarterback simple as.

Speaker 7 (01:25:01):
That i've said ten Wins, Colts No boys go, alright
you're part of that seven percent of ultimately Pessimistic colts
fans over.

Speaker 3 (01:25:12):
There, NO i thought that was night AND i thought
ninety three.

Speaker 5 (01:25:15):
Percent, yeah you're what's your reasoning, There, jeff give us
some some points here that we should be using his.

Speaker 3 (01:25:20):
OPTIMISM i think the rest of the division.

Speaker 2 (01:25:22):
SUCKS i think other than. Quarterback it's a TUR i
like that they're done On. LOOK i like what they've
done on. Defense do you Think houston?

Speaker 3 (01:25:30):
SUCKS i was about to, say what? There, Okay, hey
this is what you're.

Speaker 4 (01:25:35):
Saying.

Speaker 1 (01:25:36):
OKAY i would ask more of the why on why
Does houston? Suck versus yeah they. Didn't did you see?
Hm last?

Speaker 2 (01:25:41):
Year they weren't burning out.

Speaker 1 (01:25:42):
Any and they've play couple of. Years it sucks is,
overboard BUT i.

Speaker 2 (01:25:49):
DON'T i like The colts to finally win more games
than they lose within the. DIVISION i do think they'll
start off too and one in the first three weeks
of this. Season you can all laugh at me, later
but that's Where i'm.

Speaker 5 (01:26:01):
At, NO i don't mind the, decision but, man the reasoning,
brother this is like me giving like a speech when.

Speaker 1 (01:26:06):
Project i'm trying to move it. Along but if you,
WANT i love what they've done.

Speaker 2 (01:26:11):
DEFENSIVELY i like the draft pick that they made this
year on the, EDGE i know to step forward this.
YEAR i believe that the offensive line is capable and
they have one of the best running backs behind. Them
And i'll say this About Daniel, jones just don't screw
it up we.

Speaker 3 (01:26:28):
Go all, right those are the receiving.

Speaker 1 (01:26:32):
Corps do we know?

Speaker 4 (01:26:34):
That all?

Speaker 6 (01:26:34):
RIGHT Afc, West i'm saying The chiefs until otherwise Notified chargers.

Speaker 8 (01:26:41):
Like.

Speaker 3 (01:26:41):
That if you THINK i will pick Against Taylor, Swift
you've got another thing.

Speaker 1 (01:26:46):
Coming kelsey moved like. Me in The Super Bowl? Division
how many division titles do you Think Kansas city's won
in a? Row, Now i'm gonna guess? Seven? Nine is
it really? Nine Before? Homes, Yeah Alex, Smith, baby.

Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
They have owned that. DIVISION i Think denver's and, look
The chargers have gotten better. TOO i think both teams
have gotten, better but they're Not Kansas city good.

Speaker 3 (01:27:08):
Yet i'm there picking gets some homes or Again Tillow.
Swift all, right let's get three wild card teams in THE.

Speaker 6 (01:27:14):
Afc i'm Going, Bengals, Chargers, Broncos.

Speaker 1 (01:27:21):
Ravens got The colts at nine and? Eight is nine
and eight enough in THE. Afc you're gonna have to
win some tie, breakers, YEAH i think, So i'm gonna Go, Ravens, Broncos.

Speaker 2 (01:27:34):
Patriots all, RIGHT i picked The colts to win the,
division SO i will Go, Broncos, Texans.

Speaker 1 (01:27:43):
Ravens those Crappy texans are making the.

Speaker 5 (01:27:46):
Playoffs i'm gonna Go, Bengals broncos and Maybe. Dolphins, okay all,
right that's interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:27:58):
THERE i like That morgas got.

Speaker 1 (01:28:00):
THERE i know that's a beautiful part of THE. Nfl
though they got.

Speaker 3 (01:28:03):
Too if he can stay, healthy maybe they can do.
Something we'll, see all.

Speaker 6 (01:28:06):
RIGHT Nfc, North i've got The Detroit. Lions despite all
the losses and the coaching, staff they still find a.
Way they still have that offense humming With Jared goff
And Aman, Ross Saint brown and all the Engineer gibbs and.
Whatnot The lions will still take THE Nfc North, Packers,
kevin come on losing the coordinators for The. LIONS i
think it's a very underrated element to.

Speaker 2 (01:28:26):
It, YEAH i agree with that one hundred. Percent AND
i LIKE i THINK i think Adding Micah parsons puts
that defense on a different. Level they were good, anyway
puts them on a completely different. Level they can run the,
football we know that With Josh. JACOBS i like the
draft pick Of GOLDEN i like The. Packers how dare?

Speaker 1 (01:28:43):
You how dare all of?

Speaker 7 (01:28:44):
You The?

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
Bears the two, shockingly the Two illinois natives have picked
The Chicago.

Speaker 1 (01:28:50):
Shock he didn't pick. THEM i didn't pick. THEM i
picked The.

Speaker 5 (01:28:54):
Bears i'm doing this for shock value more than anything.
ELSE i have no valid reasoning other Than Caler williamsy
better than last.

Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
Year mark probably has The bears going like two and. Fifteen, no, no,
no all.

Speaker 3 (01:29:04):
RIGHT Nfc, East i've got The.

Speaker 6 (01:29:05):
EAGLES i think they take care of business to night
and they just kind of cruise THE Nfc east once,
again or, mean that's a good.

Speaker 2 (01:29:12):
One part of me wants to Pick, washington but, YEAH
i will go With. Billy i'm gonna go with The Washington.
COMMANDERS i think both those teams are really. GOOD i
could see both those teams winning at least twelve.

Speaker 5 (01:29:23):
GAMES i will pick The cowboys If Jerry jones gave
me A Kawhile innard.

Speaker 3 (01:29:29):
Deal but at that's on the, Table i'll go with The.
Eagles damn act. TOGETHER i get to get A google
side money, there you, Know i'll roll what's The, jared.

Speaker 1 (01:29:36):
BUT i need some.

Speaker 6 (01:29:37):
Incentives all, RIGHT Nfc, East i've got The, bucks but
it's gonna Bit.

Speaker 1 (01:29:43):
South.

Speaker 6 (01:29:43):
YET i DON'T i don't know exactly what's gonna happen
with The, falcons BUT i think it's a two team.

Speaker 3 (01:29:47):
Race i've got The bucks.

Speaker 5 (01:29:48):
Prevailing, yeah that's probably Pretty i'm gonna go with The
bucks as. Well shout out To Mike. Evans he is
one of my favorite players of all. TIME i know
he's kind of. UNDERRATED i think he's only got One
All pro selection in his.

Speaker 4 (01:29:58):
Career was.

Speaker 3 (01:29:59):
Crazy every year he gets.

Speaker 5 (01:30:00):
Like eight touchdowns in a thousand yards and he's probably
gonna be A hall Of famer.

Speaker 2 (01:30:04):
Someday and the best thing that happened to him late
in his career Is Baker mayfield loves him.

Speaker 1 (01:30:08):
Some Mike Evans, yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:30:10):
Well also to argue the best thing to happen to
him Was Tom brady coming for a.

Speaker 8 (01:30:12):
Year.

Speaker 3 (01:30:13):
Yeah for, Two i'll go To.

Speaker 1 (01:30:14):
FALCONS i think The falcons are a surprise team this.
YEAR i Like Michael Pennix junior a. Lot they were
there until they kind of bottom out late in the.
SEASON i love their skill. GROUP i will go With
Raheem morrise and The.

Speaker 6 (01:30:24):
Falcons all, RIGHT Nfc, WEST i thought long and hard
about this. ONE i originally had The, rams But Matt
stafford's back issue has gonna be, concerned So i'm gonna
say the forty nine ers get back to.

Speaker 3 (01:30:34):
It they are going to be one of the teams
that makes the playff that didn't make it last. Year,
okay Who seattle starting? Quarterback Why i'm blameing on?

Speaker 1 (01:30:41):
This Donald?

Speaker 3 (01:30:42):
Donald Tim damn at the bag he did? Get the
Bet cup is there now? Too, YEAH i gotta go
with The. RAMS i Like Matthew.

Speaker 5 (01:30:49):
STAFFORD i think he's honestly one of the most underrated
quarterbacks of this era and probably all. TIME i, mean
he spent a lot of years losing With Detroit, lions
but not his. Fault that guy can, Ball so as
long as the bad is, Intact i'm rolling with.

Speaker 3 (01:31:01):
Him look at.

Speaker 2 (01:31:02):
That i'm gonna go With Kyle shanahan and The San
francisco forty Nine. ERS i like what he's done with Brock.
Perdy he gets a little bit better each. Year they
got to keep him, healthy and they got to Keep
christian McCaffrey. Healthy that's the key for. Them If christian McCaffrey's,
healthy there's just no better weapon in THE. Nfl Jamar,
GIBBS i, apologize but, Man christian McCaffrey is.

Speaker 1 (01:31:19):
NAIL i THINK i saw the only division that has
all four teams that they're over under it's seven and
a half or higher like some people are hiring It.
Arizona SO i do think this is one of the
more competitive one to four divisions in all of. FOOTBALL
i will go with The. RAMS i hear you Out
mark on the. BACK i do Think Jimmy g's a
pretty quality backup if you do have to do that

(01:31:40):
for a month or. SO i am not gonna bet
Against sean mcmack.

Speaker 2 (01:31:43):
To your, point, though real quickly get for The cardinals.
Though the reason people are starting to like Them Kyler Murray'
Kyler Murray kunny is what he. Is he can, play
he does some really good. Things but that skill, group
Now Marvin Harrison, junior is ready to explode this. Year
they've got a terrific McBride as a fantastic tight. End
not only they have one of the most consistent running
backs In James, connor but they got a Guy bentson

(01:32:03):
pushing him a little bit. Too they got a really
nice skill group.

Speaker 3 (01:32:06):
There all, right we're up against, it so let's DO
Nfc wildcard real.

Speaker 6 (01:32:08):
Quick and we always circle back to this after a
couple of, interviews and Do Super bowl picks and. WHATNOT Nfc.

Stuff But cornheiser on. There, yeah they were trying everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:33:41):
Everywhere we have somebody rocks solid though that we're happy to.
Join have joined us all the. Time Zach, kiefer terrific
writer From The, athletic kind enough to spend a few
minutes with us this morning here on The Fan Morning
show on The Payless Liquors. Hotline your all time FAVORITE nfl,
Theme Zach, kiefer IS.

Speaker 4 (01:34:00):
I just heard. It i'm, Yeah i'm with. You that's
the one.

Speaker 1 (01:34:03):
Man there we. GO i KNEW i Like Zach. Kiefer,
zach excellent work on your piece In The athletic of
why AND i should probably look up the exact, title
but basically why young quarterbacks fail in the, leagues particularly high.
Picks the amount of voices you, got the gravitaze of

(01:34:24):
those VOICES i thought really stood out to. Me honestly
my favorite. Anecdote and, BOY i tried to say it's
To jeff And james yesterday and they both looked at
me LIKE i was an. IDIOT i love The Matt
hasselbeck builders and realtors analogy from yesterday that you. Shared
it kind of compared to scouts and coaches of you
know sometimes, yeah they're in the same, business but they've got,

(01:34:46):
different you, know sorts of agendas in what they want
to look for in a particular. Player was there a
particular anecdote or an analogy that you, heard because there
are a ton of them Throughout Peyton manning had one
as well that you really enjoyed in your. Piece, YEAH
i MEAN i didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:35:01):
KNOW i Mean, PEYTON i almost felt Like peyton's therapist at,
times AND i certainly felt Like Alex smith's. Therapist if
you read the, story he kind of details how dark
it was his first couple of years In San. Francisco
seven coordinators in seven. Years he had to yell towards
the sideline as a rookie to ask the coaches if
he could get into. Shotgun he was watching film. Alone

(01:35:22):
he was basically a huge imposter, syndrome just waiting for
the team to realize they'd made a huge. Mistake but
the signature moment for me in this entire, project it
obviously started with A kevin O'Connell. Quote The vikings coach
said last year on The Rich Eisen. Show organizations fail
young quarterbacks, before organizations before young quarterbacks fail, organizations, Right

(01:35:43):
so that's how it. Started SO i asked a bunch
of quarterbacks about what it's really like as a. Rookie
in my, Mind andrew look was as good As i've
ever seen a rookie quarterback.

Speaker 1 (01:35:53):
Play.

Speaker 4 (01:35:54):
RIGHT. Pj stride was excellent two years. Ago Jay daniels was.
Excellent it doesn't. Matter they were all really really, good very.
Rare And andrew paused for a long time AFTER i
asked him that question what it was really like in twenty,
twelve and he, said you, know it was everything you
think it was in terms of the stress and the,
pressure and then you pour some gasoline on. It AND
i told that To kevin O'Connell and he was silent

(01:36:17):
for a couple, seconds and he, said that validates Everything
i've ever thought about the. Position if that, guy who
was as, ready as, polished as prolific as any rookie
quarterback coming in the league we've seen in twenty, years
if that guy thinks it was really hard and he
was swimming above, water then imagine how hard it is
for the rest of.

Speaker 3 (01:36:36):
Them, so you, know Me zach as the resident.

Speaker 5 (01:36:40):
Hater i'm looking At kevin O'Connell, Like, okay you've talked
all this big, GAME jj McCarthy beting nots think this
year i'mna have.

Speaker 1 (01:36:47):
Questions about this whole.

Speaker 5 (01:36:48):
Process but, no, RIGHT i do wonder though he's talked
the big, game and obviously we've seen some of his
work more, recently obviously With Sam. Darnold but that is
a QUESTION i, have, Is, okay what does it look
like now when you have to start over to a
degree this? Year but looking at it from an organizational,
standpoint you, know what was it like to get so
many players to open up from that perspective and kind

(01:37:10):
of reveal why they believe it wasn't just their? Fault
BECAUSE i think that's the easy route right even right
now In, indianapolis a lot of it AND i still
think the majority of it probably falls On Anthony. Richardson
but it's so easy to say it's his fault because
he didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:37:23):
Perform, yeah let's go back to the combine AND i
THINK i was sitting next to you in the stands
At Lucas, Oil. James this was two years ago when
The colts had the number of four overall. Pick we
were about twenty twenty five rows up from the, field
AND i remember Seeing shane stiking down there With Jim
Bob cooter HIS oc saying had just been. Hired everybody
knew they were picking a. Quarterback AS i wrote in the,
story it was basically an. Ultimative so what happened that

(01:37:47):
day at the? Combine Anthony richardson stole the show. Right
he threw at seventy five. Yards he did a backfliff,
afterwards the crowd was going. Crazy he won the Underwear.
Olympics what was the other thing that happened that day
that is way more? IMPRESSIVE dj stradd was the best
quarterback on the. FIELD i remember this way more. Accurate
AND i remember walking out of there and all people

(01:38:08):
were talking about Was, richardson AND i remember being, like
did you see the? Throws like the throws? Matter and
so you know that that scene stuck to, me and you're,
right like a lot of this is on the, quarterback
And i'm not going to omit the, quarterback AND i
don't want my piece to sort of excuse the. Blame
and that's Something Matt ryan. Said he also apologized to
the Ball state fans for taking a, shot and they

(01:38:31):
and the. Story but you, Know matt was, like the
first thing he said was, like, well wait a, minute
it's on the quarterback, too and a lot of these
guys just don't know. It BUT i think there is
certainly a level of responsibility with the organization from the
minute they get into town to help them develop as a.
Quarterback the thing that bugs, me and that bothers, me
and that really surprises, me is That i've had this

(01:38:52):
conversation With Chris ballard four, years four years before they
even drafted a, quarterback on the fact that it's not
just drafting the, dude it's having a plan once they
get into. Town and The colts have still screwed this up,
royally leading us to this moment now where essentially they're
hitting the reset button with their twenty three year old.

Speaker 1 (01:39:11):
Quarterback it's why, you frankly have an athletic. Subscription The
bust files HOW nfl teams break young. Quarterbacks, wonderful wonderful
job By Zach kiefer on this. Piece he's with us
here on The Payliss slickers. Hotline. Zach The Chris ballard
quote and there are multiple ones in, there BUT i
thought one that stood out BECAUSE i don't recall him
saying this about it's easier to find one being a young.

(01:39:35):
Quarterback it's easier to find one when you've got. One
he Referenced Alex, Smith Patrick mahomes In Kansas. City he
Referenced Joe flacco To Lamar jackson And. Baltimore those are
back to back. Drafts when do you think The colts
could have done that or should have done? That AND
i Know i'm asking you to put on some twenty
twenty hindsight. Glasses so this is the.

Speaker 4 (01:39:56):
ONE i always go back TO tv and it doesn't add,
up and it probably couldn't have, happened but this is
what they should have. Done they should not have traded
the first round pick in twenty twenty to The San
francisco forty nine ers to Get Toforest, buckner who has
been a terrific. Player they should have tried to move
up and go Get Justin herbert that, year and it

(01:40:17):
would have taken a little. BIT i think he went
number six, overall right Behind, tua but that's when you do.
It they wanted to lean on, patients they wanted to
go Get Philip rivers for a. Year they probably thought
two and that was, fine And rivers was really. Good
he's been the best of the post luck, QUARTERBACKS i.
Think but the reality is they were too. Patient they
were too, patient too, patient and they didn't have. One

(01:40:39):
and that quote Is i'd never Heard balance say that.
Either that was so fascinating to. Me that's what you
would Tell. Ersay it's easier to find one when you've got.
One and you guys know this from being in those
conversations With ballard And ersay for. Years the pressure ratcheted.
Up i'll never forget being On ersay's balcony In arizona
at the owners meetings and we were asking About Lamar,

(01:41:00):
jackson who wanted out Of baltimore at this, time and
it didn't seem like a logical thing that we ever
going to go Get, lamar And ersay, SAID i want my.
Own he wanted his. Own he wanted to draft. One
the decision was made they were going to draft one at.
Four and the crazy part is if they didn't Get.
Richardson you remember they said they were going to Draft
richardson number one. Overall if they had that. Pick, now

(01:41:23):
maybe that's just, exaggeration and maybe that's just something you
say after the, draft but that's a ridiculous consideration at
this point in. Time but, Secondly ersay said after the, draft,
well If richardson wasn't, there we would have just Gone.
Levis it was quarterback or. Else and that is a
bad way of doing things Because richardson has already been benched.
Twice levis has been. Benched and, honestly if they're going

(01:41:46):
to have great futures in this, league chances are they're
not going to come with a team that drafted.

Speaker 3 (01:41:50):
Them, ZACH i do want to clarify this.

Speaker 5 (01:41:54):
POINT i know you mentioned the story That ersa pushed
For anthony rich was going to play, earlier AND i
guess the Clarity i'm looking for is some of the reaction,
is oh my, gosh why is he saying that? Now
reporting this? Now you, know it makes it seem like
Jim irsay was the one calling all the. Shots but
how involved was he in that? Decision and also how

(01:42:15):
much did the other players in that party have a
chance to maybe voice their, opinion i.

Speaker 3 (01:42:21):
E Shane stych And Chris.

Speaker 4 (01:42:22):
Ballard, YEAH i mean, this we reported this that, first
didn't order them to Play Anthony richardson by any, means
he wanted to see the kid. Play he's on the
record saying he's got to. Play he was in the
camp of, yeah he only played thirteen college. Games how
do you? Grow you grow by playing? Right and that

(01:42:43):
was a lot of people what they thought at the.
TIME i THINK i was in the pretty strong minority
thinking he needed to fit because he just didn't have
enough college. EXPERIENCE i, Mean Peyton manning stunk as a,
rookie thought he was going to get bench six quarters
into his career and that dude played forty eight college
games Eight and the other part of this THAT i
talked To ballad about this Is richardson did not grow

(01:43:04):
up like a lot of these quarterbacks grow. Up i'm
not saying it's right or, wrong but you, know he
wasn't in all the camps and he wasn't like a
top prospect growing up despite all of his physical. Talent
so there was a maturation process that's gonna need to
happen once he gets to the. Pros and it's just
studying to. Me Because Shane steichen threw him in there
after one pre season, game they named him the starter

(01:43:26):
And ballard let it. Happen AND i think both of,
them if they could go back in, time would alter
that decision and have him sit beside Behind Gardner. Minshew
and it's just it's easy to say it, now but
you know that's kind of What ballard was saying was
the hardest thing is oftentimes the right thing is often
the hardest thing to do in the. Moment and they.

(01:43:47):
Cowered really, like the hardest thing to do at that
moment is to tell the fans, wait this guy needs to,
wait he needs to.

Speaker 1 (01:43:53):
SIT i know you're going to be.

Speaker 4 (01:43:55):
MAD i know we're going to have This lamborghini on
the sideline that we're not going to get out, there
but we need to. Wait And ballard wishes he had done,
that but he, said look like the only way you
learn these lessons is by going through, it and so
we'll see if they can get it right. NOW i
don't think it's too. Late richardson's still twenty. Three but
this was not simply an URS a decision to play
him in twenty twenty.

Speaker 5 (01:44:15):
Three why don't you think it's too, late BECAUSE i
think it is to a. Degree you've benched him twice
now through the first three years and there's no clear
plan for his future. HERE i know they keep saying
they believe in, him but on the flip, side he
also has to believe in.

Speaker 3 (01:44:30):
Them good, Question.

Speaker 4 (01:44:34):
JAMES i thought your story detailed where his hat is
at pretty well, yesterday because this has been a roller, coaster,
Right this has been a roller coaster for. Him it'll
be interesting to see how he. Responds but sometimes young
quarterbacks need. This sometimes they need, this they need a,
Humbling they need to sit and. WATCH i honestly believe
The colts think to Get Anthony richardson close to his

(01:44:57):
ceiling if he ever gets there in this. LEAGUE i
think The colts and by THAT i Mean Shane stikeen
And Chris ballard believe he gets there if he sits this,
season if he sits and. WATCHES i just think it'll
be the best. Thing they think it'll be the best
thing for the long term prospects of his. Career who's
The colts quarterback next? Year, LIKE i don't have a.

Speaker 1 (01:45:18):
Clue it could be.

Speaker 4 (01:45:19):
Anybody it could Be, jones it could Be, richardson it
could Be Riley, leonard it could be. Anybody that's that's
the unknown right, Now AND i Think richardson plays this
season at some point based on the last couple of
years and how they've. Gone they've played multiple quarterbacks every
year SINCE i can, remember except maybe going back to
The Carson wentz here and SO i think that's where

(01:45:40):
we're at right now with. Him is this team is
the future is very, murky and there's very much an
open door at that. Position AND i think there's no
reason Why richardson won't be competing for the starting job
next year Unless Daniel jones just balls out all, season
WHICH i don't think very many people In indianapolis outside
The colts building think is going to.

Speaker 2 (01:45:59):
Happen what happens if this team goes nine to eight
And Daniel jones is okay and maybe in a few
Games Anthony richardson plays and he's. Okay now what?

Speaker 10 (01:46:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:46:12):
Man that's this Is? Jeff is that not the worst
situation for this? Team right? Right? Like do you run it?
Back do you, like remember you gotta gm on the hot?
Seat depending on What Carl ersay thinks you've got to?
Coach maybe in the same, Realm i'm not so sure on,
Him like do you run it? Back is mediocre, Okay

(01:46:35):
Carl jersay's, words mediocre is not. Okay they're tired of
running in. Circles this team is tired of being mediocre
in a mediocre division and missing out on the. PLAYOFFS
i think a home playoff game would matter a. LOT
i think that would matter a. Lot that would mean
a division, championship that would mean that streak is, over
and a home playoff game was very important to Jim.

(01:46:58):
Ercay that's how he measured the barometer of like, Success
like that's the first. Thing if you want to have
a successful, season the first step is to host a
home playoff. Game you do that by winning the. Division
if this team does, THAT i think suddenly the door
opens to running it. Back maybe that's not the long
term play they, want BUT i just feel, like considering

(01:47:19):
they've come short of that so many times doing things
the other way the last couple of, YEARS i feel
like that would finally feel like some momentum In january
instead of the last couple of, Years whi's been utter, disappointment,
confusion and.

Speaker 1 (01:47:34):
Failure always good to talk to, You.

Speaker 2 (01:47:37):
Zach keep working. Hard i'm glad the athletic lets you
do your. Thing, man we appreciate it and we always
like reading. It and thanks for coming.

Speaker 1 (01:47:43):
On great work exactly on a good.

Speaker 3 (01:47:45):
Note thanks, GUYS i got a spot for you as
a game if you want to top.

Speaker 1 (01:47:48):
By he didn't even respond to your Did mark taken?

Speaker 4 (01:47:54):
Off?

Speaker 5 (01:47:54):
Yeah he hung up at that. Request he's probably gonna
be a bigger. GAME i would imagine week.

Speaker 6 (01:47:59):
ONE i feel like a nine and eight season for The.
Colts that's called the circle of suck OR nfl purgatory
for a. Franchise, yeah that is such thing AS nfl.
PURGATORY nfl purgatory IS nfl hell, yeah because when you're
just sitting there like, mediocre not making the playoffs and
not having a decent draft, pick and the fan base
is already.

Speaker 1 (01:48:16):
Like, yeah that's. Worse you would rather be, Terrible you'd
rather be drafting in the top. Five. Yeah that's WHY
i need this team to go ten and seven and
win the.

Speaker 2 (01:48:26):
DIVISION i need it to happen because, otherwise.

Speaker 1 (01:48:28):
What are you gonna do With daniels.

Speaker 4 (01:48:33):
Ten and?

Speaker 6 (01:48:33):
Seven are you in the same, situation because then you're,
like are we bringing Back Daniel? Jones franchise Tagging Daniel jones.

Speaker 1 (01:48:38):
Because at that, point the ten wins that you have
doesn't doesn't make a difference on who you're starting to.
BEAT i don't.

Speaker 6 (01:48:44):
Know then you're still in the quarterback. Carousel are bringing Back?
Carns are we Doing Anthony? RICHARDSON i think they're the
worst draft.

Speaker 5 (01:48:50):
Pick that's the part WHY i pushed back On zach
when he's, saying, oh they could open up the competition
again next. Year For Anthony, richardson yes you, could but
who's buying into?

Speaker 1 (01:49:01):
THAT i, mean no. One there is guys to be,
frank there's no result this year that would make FANS
i think truly buy in no. RESULT i mean you
could go twelve and five and people are still gonna,
say was This Daniel jones' twenty twenty two? Season this
is going to have to be a multi year.

Speaker 5 (01:49:18):
Things when starts clipped and developed, times, baby but seventy percent,
completion twelve, wins let's.

Speaker 1 (01:49:29):
GO i think when you haven't won a division title
in ten, years to truly win it, back you're gonna
have to have a multi year winning it.

Speaker 6 (01:49:38):
BACK i guess the thing you sell fan bases on is,
hope and if you don't have anything to, like hang
your hat on as a, franchise as a team looking
Into week, one like you almost do want to bottom
out because then at least there's the hope that they
get it right in the draft room right and hopeful
that the next guy is. COMING i, mean like that this,
itineration there was no hope.

Speaker 5 (01:49:59):
And if they bought them seriously at this were scenario
where they end up with a top five, pick you
better believe it should be a.

Speaker 1 (01:50:04):
Quarterback oh, well, OBVIOUSLY i mean think about What zach
just brought up right. There he brought, Up, hey they
should have taken you, know Justin herbert in that twenty twenty.
Draft so The colts had the thirteenth, pick what did they?
Do they were stuck. Compurgatory zach wanted them to trade
up to Whatever herbert was the sixth. PICK i think he.
WAS i Think burrow went on two win, Five herbert went.
Six you, know, yes you could have done. That but,

(01:50:27):
again to truly get up, there you have to be
really bad because at that point there are other teams
in the top, five top six that are probably gonna
want those. Quarterbacks that same draft Had Jordan love in the,
twenties Had jalen hurts in the second, round so there
were other avenues to explore. There one little sneaky item For.
Sunday watched the old kicker. Battle it's what a one

(01:50:50):
point spread in this, Game so in all, likelihood this
could very well come down to the right leg of
One Riley patterson or One Spencer. Schrader we Know Spencer
trader's resume just five field goals kicked in THE, nfl
none from longer than fifty. Yards Riley patterson is the
backup kicker In Miami Jason. Sanders they're very. Accomplished kicker

(01:51:12):
is out for this game with an, injury so they
have Brought Riley patterson in. Here and he wasn't very
good last year in THE, nfl four of seven across three,
Teams so kicker questions on both sidelines coming up For sunday.
Afternoon ALL i know.

Speaker 2 (01:51:27):
Is if it doesn't go well this, Year blue AND
i are gonna be over in the corner Of Lucas,
oil just drowning our sorrows and.

Speaker 1 (01:51:32):
Throwing them back in The allegiant. Bucket, yeah we'll just give,
up just give.

Speaker 6 (01:51:37):
Up Can blue digest liquids or does that costume like not.

Speaker 2 (01:51:41):
Liquid blue can do.

Speaker 1 (01:51:42):
Anything blue is the most accurate quarterback To Colt savadan
quite a. While have you seen that man throw from
yeah right into the. Barrels also throws a stiff arm
on kids like no one's. Business you see his toss
it the ims, too to teach him how to go
up on the. Pagoda chucked one down, there lose lose.
It i'm all About, blue all, right let's check it,

go back to training. Camp, yes you had a couple

(01:52:38):

You said That goodson has got a flexing that elbow
a little bit Yesterday james when he saw.

Speaker 5 (01:52:49):
Them, yes still working through some probably some, PAIN i would,
imagine but it was good to see him out. There

Golf let's be.

Speaker 1 (01:54:55):

little bit further.

Speaker 2 (01:55:04):
Down, again to, me it's like having. Kids why do
you always have to have to it's just a great.
Experience why can't it just be a great. EXPERIENCE i have.

Speaker 3 (01:55:15):
Is in The dyton household, First now you're. Third how
are we going to have a better day?

Speaker 2 (01:55:19):
Tomorrow all, right that's where we're. AT i mentioned this
in the first, Hour but for those who slept in
a little, Bit god bless. You WISH i could do
that with. You huge numbers for watching college football over
the week In, Texas Ohio state seventeen million. Viewers there
were four games over the weekend that had ten million

(01:55:42):
or more, viewers INCLUDING, BAMA, Fsu Notre Dame, miami AND Lsu.
Clemson all this talk about the sport is never going
to be the. Same it's, dead it's, now it's paper.
Whatever people just want to watch. Football that's all they
want to do is watch. Football.

Speaker 5 (01:55:58):
YEAH i think a lot of that has to do
was just a tradition of the sport and all these conferences.
REALIGNING i, MEAN ucla is in The big.

Speaker 3 (01:56:05):
Ten what are we?

Speaker 5 (01:56:06):
Doing but from an actual viewing, standpoint, YEAH i don't
care what they do with the. CONFERENCES i will be
tuning in Every.

Speaker 3 (01:56:12):
Saturday.

Speaker 2 (01:56:13):
Yeah cubs lost to The braves yesterday five to. One
they're pretty open s locked.

Speaker 1 (01:56:17):
Into the Wild guard at this, Point, Mark so, yeah too.

Speaker 2 (01:56:20):
Much Cincinnati reds are not locked into much of anything right.
Now they lose again to The Toronto Blue jays thirteen to.
Nine Saint Louis cardinals over The a's by a score
of five to. One anything else you guys want to throw.

Speaker 1 (01:56:33):
ON i know there's some indie car news, Yesterday, Kevin,
yeah Will power going to Team, andretti so quite the
move There, Again Team penske had enough of will, POWER
i guess after seventeen. Years BUT i think Will power's
got a little bit left in the tank, there and
So i'll be he was the highest finisher In Team
penske this year from a point. Standings and Then Colton
hurda over TO f one as a test driver there,

(01:56:55):
Again Dan towers has THAT f one, team The cadillac,
team and so there are some ties there specifically to.
That so in two, ways you, know this kind of benefits.
Him he feels like in a couple of different, avenues
and that will power comes over to The IndyCar team
And colton Herd a heads over. There so silly season,
abound AND i Know Jake query will have a lot
more on this coming up at.

Speaker 2 (01:57:16):
Noon, Yeah jake And curt And kevin certainly in their
element right. Now and, Finally james want to update everybody
in the situation that The Indiana fever find themselves in
this morning as they wake.

Speaker 3 (01:57:26):
Up, yes they're in the Af.

Speaker 5 (01:57:27):
Seed they got some help last night from The Atlanta
dream who took down The sparks who are trailing The
fever in the standing for that final playoff. Spot and,
then LIKE i said earlier throughout the, show if you
ever got a big, break potentially tomorrow night With aurie's
schedule to miss the game due to suspension because she
got her eighth technical foul last, night which is an
automatic one game. SUSPENSION i doubt that the league will

(01:57:50):
rescind that technical foul because she essentially backhand slops the
body in the, face which you can't do on a basketball.

Speaker 1 (01:57:55):
Court remember back to.

Speaker 2 (01:57:56):
THEN i don't know if you might be too young for,
this but when The pistons were doing their, Thing Rashid
wallace was like leading the league in technical fouls like
every other night was getting. One is she becoming that
for THE? Wnba?

Speaker 4 (01:58:07):
Now?

Speaker 5 (01:58:07):
NAH i mean the goat down At sarazi got suspended
for games for technical. Fouls so you, know sometimes you run,
hot you're looking a little. Competitive it is what it.

Speaker 1 (01:58:15):
IS i loved Watching Rashid wallace. Play that guy was,
fun all.

Speaker 2 (01:58:19):
Right anything else before we had to break Because Jason
ammer's coming in. Here i'm ready for hammer Fire way
to make us all some. Money even You, Mark i'm about.

Speaker 1 (01:58:27):
THAT i could use, it all.

Speaker 2 (01:58:28):
Right that's next ninety three.

Speaker 1 (01:58:29):
Five here comes the. Money here we, go money the.

Speaker 8 (01:58:35):
Money you were listening to The fan morning show On

hammer is here to make us all a little bit,

(01:59:12):
extra a little bit extra. Coin we're gonna moving, forward,
Right we are going to try. Now mark And kevin
backed me up. Here last year On thursdays we went
on a bit of a, heater. Right, yes we did
very well last year On. Thursdays so the old.

Speaker 1 (01:59:28):
Gambling adage is water finds its. Level So i'm due
to just. Stink we don't want to hear, It. Juju
we don't want to hear. That we don't want to hear.

Speaker 9 (01:59:37):
That sam pulling a Lou holtz right, Here i'm setting
the expectations. Low so that way when we have amazing,
success it looks like this is huge successful.

Speaker 2 (01:59:45):
Story such is the respect for your expertise in this.
Area Kevin bowen seated his seat to you and is
taking notes on everything you say over In Mark dyden's
right now be.

Speaker 1 (01:59:57):
In this studio if it weren't For Jason hammer's immens
out of money that he sent to The bowen family
last year via These thursday. Segments, So Jason, hammer thank.

Speaker 9 (02:00:05):
You the last time we all got together was the
show before the Super, bowl and if you, recall it
was a generational. Run during that Super. Bowl we got first,
touchdown we got the last, touchdown which WAS i believe.

Speaker 1 (02:00:18):
Like ten to, one and we made so much. Money
we were above the. Law that's the, goal, right we
want to make so much.

Speaker 9 (02:00:25):
Money if you get pulled, over you could get your
gambling ticket out and. GO i think we know what's
going on.

Speaker 1 (02:00:30):
HERE i feel Like.

Speaker 2 (02:00:31):
I'm twenty seconds away From jason busting.

Speaker 1 (02:00:33):
Out i've got the game of the. Century but you've
gotta listen this afternoon To hammer And. Nigel, Right i'm
sunglasses indoors. Guy, Right all, right all that aside THE
nfl kicks off.

Speaker 2 (02:00:45):
Tonight Dallas cowboys are eight and a half point underdogs
In philadelphia, Tonight so this was six and a half
before The Micah parsons.

Speaker 1 (02:00:55):
Trade, now with all due respect To Michael, parsons.

Speaker 9 (02:00:57):
Who is a bad, man two points for a linebacker
trade in a divisional game On week, one that's absurd to.

Speaker 1 (02:01:05):
Me that's a quarterback.

Speaker 9 (02:01:07):
Number like if we woke up this, morning Take Kansas
city for, example and found Out Patrick mahomes injured his,
ankle he's out of the. Lineup that's a two point,
drop not a. Linebacker the market has overreacted in such
a way to. This i'm leaning The cowboys. Tonight, Now
i'm not gonna tell you they're gonna sit here and
win this thing. Tonight philly probably does find a way

(02:01:29):
to pull this. Off But Dak prescott historically has played
really well In philly his last four. Games didn't play
last year due to the. Injuries but go back To
december of twenty twenty three two, touchdowns zero, Interceptions december
of twenty two three, touchdowns one, Pick january twenty, two five,

(02:01:51):
touchdowns zero, pick And september of twenty, one three, touchdowns zero. Picks,
now if My Beach Grove High school education is, correct
that's thirteen touchdowns to one interception at one of the
most hostile environments in THE. Nfl So dak's not scared
of this kind of. Thing cowboys are down a little,
bit but, again we don't need him to. Win we

(02:02:12):
need him to hang around an eight and a half
for a divisional, opponent especially in week.

Speaker 1 (02:02:18):
One that feels like a big number to, me even
on the. Road, YEAH i like. IT i like. IT
i like eight and a Half and shout out to
The Beech Grove hornets and that education right there From Jason. Hammer,
okay individual player, PROPS i know you always throw a
couple at. Us what else do you like here outside
of just the eight and half?

Speaker 9 (02:02:34):
Line so let's look At dak prescott passing. Attempts if
The cowboys are going to either be in this game
or playing from, behind depending on how you want to
look at, it it ain't because of the running. Game
thirty six and a half is the number of attempts
THAT i see listed For Dak prescott. Tonight we're gonna

(02:02:56):
ride the lightning and we're gonna go over thirty six
and a half pass and if you want some, JUICE
i always like to give you a plus number. Here you,
know we don't want to be a bunch of chalk eating,
Weasels so let's go WITH Aj brown anytime. Touchdown plus
one twenty three has found the end zone and a
lot of games late with The, eagles it's got a

(02:03:17):
good rapport going. On i'll take it anytime touchdown BY
Aj brown at plus. Money, yeah it's hard.

Speaker 2 (02:03:23):
To take anytime touchdown for Like Jalen hirsch Or Sakwon
barkley because you can't even get plus odds on those
guys to score even the touchdown which we got in
The Super Bowl tush. Push it's not the juice you
would want for a first touchdown because they get down
to the go, line you know what's.

Speaker 1 (02:03:39):
Coming so we're gonna go WITH Aj brown. Here anytime.

Speaker 9 (02:03:42):
TOUCHDOWN i wish that number we're a little bit, higher
but plus one twenty.

Speaker 2 (02:03:47):
Three so here's a sneaky. ONE i want to get
your opinion on. THIS i like anytime touchdown from a
guy who actually has got a better proportion of touchdowns
to receptions THAN aj.

Speaker 1 (02:03:58):
Does Devonte. Smith they find him in the end.

Speaker 9 (02:04:01):
Zone, Yes i've just been burned by him in the,
past And i'm petty And i'm, spiteful AND i appreciates. That,
yeah there are certain people that just beat me no
matter WHAT i. Do IF i bet On minnesota, Football
i'm going to get beat. Row your boat guy screws
me every time and ANYTIME i bet a prop On Devonte. Smith,
oh he's on a. Row he's got all these. Touchdowns

(02:04:23):
he'll go out three catches eight yards. Like that's just
how it works for.

Speaker 2 (02:04:26):
Me.

Speaker 1 (02:04:26):
Hammer this makes probably no logical, sense BUT i always
like to to give you the feel good bets early
in college football. Season hear me out on. This, okay
it's a Week week Two, slate got a lot of
marquee games coming up here In week. Two, chirp. Chirp
shout out to the Ball State. Cardinals we Know Matt
ryan Hates, muncie but we do. Not they are a

(02:04:47):
forty three and a half point underdog At auburn coming
up On. Saturday is there any sort OF i don't,
know betting compass that you have where in THE? Nfl
SOMETIMES i say a double digit if you're a two touchdown,
Underdog i'm taking you forty three and a half? Points
do we not take Ball? State or AM i just
an idiot and too much of a local homer for?

(02:05:09):
That Ball?

Speaker 9 (02:05:09):
States Thanks kevin and. LISTEN i went to Ball. STATE
i feel LIKE i can say these things and one.
Touched my first FAKE id is hanging up on the
wall at The muncie liquor store that looks like. You
at least my FAKE id had me listed as Common
mcattee twenty eight to Fifty Aspen, Road, Lectington. KENTUCKY i
still remember the information. Here, yeah but, boy they're not very.

(02:05:35):
Good here's what you can, do because there is the
chance with the back door cover, there, right take a
look At auburn first half should be around twenty four
and a half. ISH i haven't taken a, look but

You it doesn't not.

Speaker 3 (02:06:17):
One did you really want to play?

Speaker 9 (02:06:18):
RIGHT i feel like The dolphins have the better, quarterback
but talent, wise it's not that big of a. Discrepancy
The colts are at. Home the line. Shifted, Originally dolphins
were a one point, favorite then a couple of weeks,
Ago colts became a one point. Favorite If i'm playing this,
One i'm looking at a player prop and this is

(02:06:38):
ONE i like a great, deal And i'm gonna make
this bet as soon as we get off the. AIR
i Think Danny dimes is going to Be Danny dink And.
Dunk so give me the New colts tight End warren
over three and a half receptions that that's the one
we're gonna take to the beam.

Underwood make every time that song is played.

Speaker 2 (02:09:56):

Not it's been around for a. Minute so, yeah we
got football on the air a little bit later on.

Speaker 1 (02:10:16):
Tonight.

Speaker 2 (02:10:16):
Mark we ran out of some time with some of
OUR nfl predictions a little while. Ago you wanted to revisit,
THAT i, Believe.

Speaker 1 (02:10:22):
Yeah we can do.

Speaker 2 (02:10:23):
That so, yeah we.

Speaker 6 (02:10:24):
Stopped we did division, winners did playoff things all. That
how about Super bowl? Picks let's put. It let's lay
them out on the table, here, boys what are Your
Super bowl picks and your winners as we Enter game one?
Tonight packers Over.

Speaker 3 (02:10:37):
Bills, Wow packers Over.

Speaker 1 (02:10:42):
BILLS i would love that from like a pure market fandom.
Standpoint would you come to work the next?

Speaker 4 (02:10:47):
Day?

Speaker 6 (02:10:48):
Uh if The packers won't getting The Super bowl they
win The Super, BOWL i Mean i'll show.

Speaker 1 (02:10:53):
Up would you rather Have Aaron rodgers won A Super
bowl or The Green Bay packers won A Super? Bowl?

Speaker 3 (02:10:58):
Oh, god CAN i light my self on? FIRE i
take that? Alternative?

Speaker 6 (02:11:04):
Uh, PROBABLY i Guess Aaron, RODGERS i, Guess but, Yeah
i'd rather not The packers have.

Speaker 1 (02:11:09):
It packer's Over. BILLS M i'm gonna Go bills Over.
Commanders how about.

Speaker 4 (02:11:15):
THAT i.

Speaker 2 (02:11:17):
Believe, Look i've said, THIS i said it all at
the end of the. Year last, YEAR i WAS i was.
INTRIGUED i started watching all the. Games Jayden daniels a.
Special he is going to be a problem for a
long time in THAT Nfc.

Speaker 3 (02:11:28):
East i'll Go ravens Over.

Speaker 5 (02:11:35):
EAGLES i Think Lamar jackson is one of the greatest quarterbacks.
Ever he is one of the greatest. QUARTERS i don't
disagree with.

Speaker 3 (02:11:41):
That by the, WAY i truly.

Speaker 5 (02:11:43):
Believe if he retired today he would be A hall
Of famer and just giving his resume. Already but the
one thing he's missing is not only A Super bowl,
ring but a chance to get to The Super.

Speaker 3 (02:11:51):
Bowl so this is the year they break Through Bill's.
Eagles with The bills finally getting. IT i wouldn't mind that.

Speaker 5 (02:11:57):
Either.

Speaker 1 (02:11:58):
Man we're all hate on The.

Speaker 2 (02:11:59):
Chief, no it just feels like the window is not
as open as it used to. Be it feels Like
travis is a little bit. Older who knows what's gonna
happen with their receiving corps and who's going to stay
in and out of jail this. Year, No, look they
got they got a guy that's got facing eight felony.

Speaker 1 (02:12:15):
COUNTS i Drafted Rashid rice and like all my fantasy,
TEAMS i don't know if that's the smartest, move BUT.

Speaker 2 (02:12:21):
I think later in the year you probably use him
in the fantasy football. Playoffs you'll probably get down in
the suspension before the end of.

Speaker 1 (02:12:25):
The, YEAR i would.

Speaker 2 (02:12:26):
Think but he's Got you've got a lot to face.

Speaker 1 (02:12:28):
There it just feels like their other pass catchers going to.
Jail DID i miss? Something?

Speaker 2 (02:12:33):
Uh, No, NO i was putting it all On. RASHID
i FIGURED i figured eight felony. Counts spread it around for, Everybody, okay, Right.

Speaker 1 (02:12:40):
WELL i can assure you if someone in the studio's
eight felony, counts the other four people are do not
want to spread around to. Them it's fantasy football we're talking,
about that's.

Speaker 2 (02:12:48):
All but, NO i just feel, like still really, good.
DANGEROUS i could see them winning. Anything BUT i just
don't know that they're at the level that they've been
at the last several.

Speaker 5 (02:12:58):
Years my thanking for not picking them is very. Simple it's,
football and eventually you get. Hurt so they've played deep
into the. Playoffs the last three years they've made the,
playoffs obviously every year as long AS i can, remember
but three Straight Super bowl, appearances at some point in
a game this, violent you're gonna have something that doesn't
break your. Way AND i think that that is a
real possibility when it comes to The.

Speaker 2 (02:13:18):
Chiefs AND i will say, this if you look at the,
numbers Both mahomes and Obviously kelsey's getting a little bit.
OLDER i think it's thirty five this. Year they're statistically
each of the last two seasons from the, third if
you even go back three, seasons they've been declining statistically each. Season,
YEAH i, Mean i'll be late to The chiefs are,
done but it's got to catch up to him at some.

(02:13:41):
Point you can't be on this lifetime.

Speaker 5 (02:13:43):
Heater but at the same, time when we said that
each year for the LAST i, MEAN i could pick
them to go back to like the conference. Championship BUT
i just think, again making it to four Straight Super
bowls is very. HARD i, mean it hasn't happened since The.
BILLS i would, think, right.

Speaker 1 (02:13:57):
Yeah and, YEAH i mean how three three? Straight and
weren't they.

Speaker 3 (02:14:00):
That was probably The.

Speaker 1 (02:14:01):
Patriots mahomes the first player IN nfl history right to
play AN aafc title GAME x amount of.

Speaker 6 (02:14:07):
Years, yeah, probably, Yeah ever it is so, yeah what ABOUT?
Mvp who you guys got winning the m V. P.

Speaker 1 (02:14:13):
Now mahomes is odds for THE. MVP i brought this
up a few weeks. Ago he's like fourth or fifth
in the. ODDS i, mean if you believe you, know
last year people, said, Hey mahomes is kind of homes
in that passing offense are kind of holding people. Back,
uh that's WHERE i would, Go, well If i'm picking
The packers over The, bills AND i probably gotta sprinkle
a little bit Of Jordan.

Speaker 3 (02:14:32):
Love this is a disgusting thought process from, You.

Speaker 1 (02:14:36):
Kevin this is. Close all you, Ask i'll, Go, Uh
i'll Go Justin, Herbert.

Speaker 5 (02:14:43):
