Speaker 5 (02:34):
Taylor, Rick Van Jerry, Cult Radio Network pro lives in
the background right their Happy holidays to everybody. Hope you're
having a great day, a great afternoon. It is a
bride and sunshiny day. I love this in the fact
it does sound kind of weird in here right now, James,
does it sound weird out there?

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Is it just weird in my ears right here? I
don't really care because I'm gonna get through three hours.
I have enough to say. I'm just gonna ignore the
weirdness that it sounds. Jake was talking about it as
long as it does not compromise what you out there here,
I don't really care because I know exactly what I'm
going to say. But no, sunny, bright Sunshiny here on

(03:12):
the twenty third, a couple of days before Christmas, our
final day before we bag it for Christmas, even Christmas Day,
and then back coming up on Friday, and I'm sad
to say there's no bud Light Blue Friday.

Speaker 6 (03:24):
That's too bad. Now we have.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
One more remaining, but no bud Light Blue Friday this Friday,
which is a bit of a bummer because I love
being out there with you. I thought yesterday leading up
to his outstanding Bullseye was off the hook man, Kyle Kinnett,
tip of the cap to you. You can put on
a party, brother. You talk about creating a party, an atmosphere.

(03:50):
All of you that won on this show ended up
over there and the party was on.

Speaker 6 (03:55):
I told you this before too.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
You can get off on Bay basically the pregame party
at Bullseye and then I know what matters to you
what the Colts do. But your game day experience has
made I'm really sad we have one more of those
remaining that's coming up on Sunday. I'm going to give
you some passes for Christmas for Sunday two for those
of you that still feel like going. In fact, there's

(04:18):
still an opportunity for the Colts to make the postseason.
Now it involves winning out and the Texans losing out,
and strength of schedule wins by teams the Colts have
beaten and losses by it is ridiculous. And if you
know one thing about this team, what doesn't ride along

(04:40):
with them much like last night, and a little one
two and a little talent based on the defensive side
does not ride along with them is good fortune. So, yeah,
are you still in it? I guess you made it
further than you did a year ago. I think they
were eliminated with three games remaining last year.

Speaker 6 (05:01):
So hell, we were already into this conversation.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
So two games remaining and hey, you still have a
pulse everybody the problem that you have. And we'll get
to last night's game. The offense played again good enough
to win. And this is part of the issue. The
overwhelming issue with this team over the years. You know,

(05:29):
whether you're talking about the Ballard tenure or you're talking
about Shane Stiken being the head coach, is they always
underwhelm when they're needed the most. You can just wait
for the letdown and just because you see something going
really well at one moment does not mean that's going

(05:50):
to last.

Speaker 6 (05:52):
This is not real.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
And that's what's unfortunate about this season because you so
I we all really needed the impact of the first
two months. It has been such a blank show around
here with this team, this organization, with zero return on
investment for any of you out there, any of the fans,

(06:17):
any of the advertisers, I mean nothing, zero return on investment.
And you got the first two months of the season
and it was it was new as different, and it
felt good and it's tough not to get swamped or
swept up in it. I'll go all the way back,

(06:41):
as I mentioned to Jake and the crossover brought to
you by Love hitting an Air, I'll go all the
way back to January. I was ready to go ahead
and wipe the board clean. I've been ready to wipe
the board clean for a while, by the way, and
people think I'm kind of a jackass for that, and
believe me, this is not my nature. It is not
my nature to be a horse's ass. I want to
be I want to party, I want to be with you.

(07:02):
I want to hang out and have some fun, and
I sure want to see some positive results. There's nothing
fun about this. I live through the Golden Era. I
know what fun entails. Fun in tails complaining about a
team that wins thirteen games. Fun entails a team. I
mean being highly critical of a team and a decision

(07:23):
of Bill Pollion for not going for it, for pulling
the starters with an opportunity for an unbeaten regular season.
That's fun. This sucks, and it sucked for a long time.
But it's tough not to get swept up and be
euphoric about what the first two months of the season

(07:46):
met because you also think about this factor is it
has been a rarety in over a decade. This team
gets off to even a close to positive start, and
there you go. And I admit, I admit, when they're
what seven and one, eight and two trade deadline, I

(08:08):
want teams to go for it. I don't want you
to jack around. I want you to go for it.
But the problem is once you win for it and
then your team went in the tank, and I know,
I get a lot of Hey, this all happened with
the injuries, and the injuries right now they have been
an issue, but we saw this thing coming.

Speaker 6 (08:30):
You saw this coming. What was it? November The second
is when we saw this coming.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Pittsburgh, as I say all the time, peeled back the curtain.
The Colts turned the football over six times. It was
still because the Steelers kind of sucked, but you know
they're in the post. Heer going to be in the
postseason more than likely again, but the Steelers.

Speaker 6 (08:54):
Kept you in.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
It is a one score game, a one score loss,
twenty seven to twenty. But let's face what happened is
all of a sudden, teams like the Steelers with two
bikes or two thank you to bookends coming at you
and Waden and high Smith. You learned a little bit
out of that, and then you survived in Berlin the

(09:18):
Atlanta Falcons, and at that point in time in Berlin,
that is where your quarterback was compromised. But well, I
tried to point out a little bit earlier, you saw
signs of this prior to the injury, and things, unfortunately
in the positive just don't last, which unfortunately also makes

(09:40):
it very unreal.

Speaker 6 (09:43):
There's no realism to it.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
And I remember debating against or with oftentimes the strength
of schedule or lack thereof, over the first almost couple
months of the season when they were at out to
that really good start. They were ninety eight percent in
that group to make the postseason. I mean, now you

(10:08):
have to have absolutely everything Haley's combat has to fly
by to get him into postseason now, but at one
point in time, there were what eight and two and
there were ninety eight percent. And you haven't seen a
team that got off to that type of start not
punched their ticket into the postseason since the Raiders, going

(10:29):
back fifteen years ago. I mean, that's setting a precedent.
And you saw a lot of that last night, and
you've seen a lot of that over the nine year
tenure of Chris Ballard, and you've seen a lot of
that over the three years of Shane steich Hit. That
is just where we are right now. That is the

(10:49):
cut and the dry of it.

Speaker 7 (10:53):
Now.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
It's interesting. There are a lot of situations where I
think you could long and hard debate this, and I'm
sure that we will, But I want to start with
a game last night. You come off of arguably your
best defensive performance in a long time. You hold Seattle
on the road to six field goals, which is whack

(11:16):
in itself, and the Seahawks win on a fifty six
yarder the six field goal of the game for Seattle
last week. But the defense showed some signs after a
week prior so before that Seattle game, you know, thirty
six points, you end up gagging up to the Jaguars.

(11:38):
You didn't see too many signs there, and I think
that magnifies the point I'm trying to make. The moment
in Seattle just wasn't real. It was probably more about
the Seahawks than it was about anything, because that defense
turned back into exactly what that defense.

Speaker 6 (11:54):
Is right now.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
And I know that they're missing personnel, but on the
other side of that line missing a great deal of
important personnel too. And the one thing that you really
witnessed last night above all else, you witnessed a job.
And I know oftentimes this is just our opinion, and
you had this in full detail. I think last night,

(12:16):
in full de tail explained how a team just gets
depantd by the opposing coach or coaches in this case,
Mike Shanahan. Mike Shanahan clowned this act last night.

Speaker 6 (12:32):
He really did.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Offensively, maybe not so much defensively. You know, it's funny
what Rick Venturi talked about on our pregame huddle last
night was kind of coming to fruition in the game
itself on Monday night, because you know, they were in
this soft zone and Philip Rivers was getting down the field,
and you know, they finally took my advice go ahead
and throw it up to Alec Pearce and let that

(12:56):
guy go get it. That's how you stretch the field
a little bit. They are doing that and it was working.
But the problem was the defense was not anywhere near
the neighborhood as what they.

Speaker 6 (13:06):
Showed a week prior against Seattle.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
And that's where you look at coaching and I know
you're going to say, well, Shane Steikeen is more an
offensive lean. This is on lou Anarumo. I'm sorry, Shane
Steikeen is the head coach. It's on him. Yeah, Ana
Roumo is the defensive coordinator. But both he and Steiken
got depanted by this offense.

Speaker 6 (13:31):
And here's how.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
You know, The simple fact remains, you have two dudes
that you know that you have to put the major
focus on in that game, and between McCaffrey and Kittle,
these guys were running wild in that game last night
and really doing whatever they wanted to do. I mean,

(13:52):
there was a point in time when Zaire Franklin from
about fifteen yards across the field was watching Christian McCaffrey
catch a pass for a touchdown. Now, that's how focused
they were on that. That's how out coached they were
on that. And the problem with this, this is all

(14:17):
too familiar territory. The bucket of excuses is it's moiling over.
There's nowhere else to go. And the reason we come
to this that the only reason that these guys and

(14:38):
their jobs would be saved is twofold here. It's one
if Carly Orsay Gordon does not feel compelled to want
to do anything. And I'm not suggesting the reactionary with
the fan base. I'm suggesting just look at the landscape,
you know, look where you've been, and look where you

(15:00):
are right now. I will tell you this. They've exhausted everything,
and everything is blown up in their face. All right,
there was a process, what eight seven years ago? There
was a process, and we're going to build within and

(15:21):
we're going to have all this depth. And I worry
about what happens up front, and that constantly gets compromised.
They've been trying to track down anybody I mean just
praying that somebody could put pressure on a quarterback even
close to consistently. Since Robert mathis now two years ago.

(15:41):
You're quoted is getting the best defensive player in the draft.
I mean that guy had a lampshade on his head
last night layout to latsu Quity Pay, a former first rounder.

Speaker 6 (15:57):
Nothing. I know again that you've been injured and you had.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Guys in the secondary not there, but you were playing
against a team that doesn't want to hear anything about
excuses because they're missing everybody. And the coaching staff clowned
the Colts last night, and what it did, it just
magnified how this hasn't worked and it's not gonna If

(16:27):
you do want to give a shred of credit, which
that's fine, the shred of credit comes to where you
do change. I mean, Chris Ballard has changed. The Colts
tried to do something about it. My point is they
have exhausted all resources and it hasn't worked. It is

(16:49):
clear it's not me jacket one around on the radio
and trying to start the potting get clicks, because you
know me, that's not what I want to do. This sucks,
but it's true. All resources have been exhausted. You've tried
a number of times to find an ambient player up front,

(17:14):
an edge rusher. It hasn't worked. You've gone through the
draft to try to draft guys and the secondary. You've
gone through free agency now after a complete changeover, to
bring guys in, and that hasn't worked. And that's where
we are. That should be, to me more about the

(17:39):
final decision, even if this team still has a sliver
of hope, That to me should be about the final
decision of the direction of this team is but what
else can you do? You just want to lame duck everybody?
Is that how you want to do it? And you
know what, that may end up being the call here

(18:00):
because as I've said before, I go back to the
trade deadline and the fact that that was okayed. You know,
that was stamped with approval by ownership. I thought at
the time that meant, hey, these guys are going to
be here for a minute, you know, even longer will
be the tenure. But it also is about the state
of the organization. And I thought last night was a

(18:22):
pretty good example about the state of the organization because
if you're the cult, you had absolutely everything on the
line and your defense couldn't stop a nosebleed nothing zero.
I mean, how many how many quarters did it take
to even get Frisk go to a third down? Brock

(18:47):
Perdy was in his easy chair. He was in our
lazy boy. A lot of you dads out there are
going to get a lazy boy for Christmas. Shout out
to those They're going to give you the lazy boy.
That's what he was in last night. And that's my problem.
So what wins over here? What wins over does it? Hey,
the bleak next couple of years, which is clear because

(19:10):
you have compromised for the present and mortgage the future,
at least the short term future of the two number ones.
Do you say, hey, we got to live with that
now because there's not much we can do about it.
And you're going to bring back the same quarterback and
hope that his healing process is expedited, and then cross
your fingers and hope that he, as a formerly consistently

(19:32):
injured guy, is not injured again. Because I will say this,
the one thing we found out earlier is Daniel Jones
does work well with Shane Steichen, but they have to
be on the field right. He has to be on
the field, and I think we also saw we saw
teams even when he was healthy, start to figure this
thing out. So where are you in terms of your

(19:57):
thoughts about this team right now? Are you okay with
moving forward because you gave that thumbs up back at
the trade deadline? Or are you like me and just
thinking you know, you've tried everything and everything hasn't worked.
You gave it the old college try, I mean, and hey,

(20:19):
pat you on the back, and you got to go
on your way because this simply put us not working.
This is not how it's supposed to be. The Colts
now have been eliminated from AFC South Division Championship contention
eleven years running in this division. I mean, at some

(20:46):
point you've got to look in the mirror and figure
out who you want to be.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
I do.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
I completely understand the situation that you're in. And hell,
I understand that I was a part of. Hey, you
got to go for it right now, mister, go for it.
I can't help it. And you know why, why wouldn't
everybody get excited halfway through the season. I mean, hell,
everybody was excited. You're excited about Daniel Jones. You're excited
about the offense. The other thing that I think has

(21:14):
to be instilled in whomever is here one of these
bays is you got to get through stuff like not everybody.
Not everybody can go through like a free and easy
zone here. And we saw this Colts team when things
were on easy Street, as I've described it, are free
and easy.

Speaker 6 (21:33):
Man.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
They're working well, they're feeling good, they're playing well. But
the moment you hit a bump in the road, that
really dictates exactly who you are. And you had a
great example last night of exactly who the Niners are,
who their coach is, and who the Colts are.

Speaker 6 (21:57):
And that's what's unfortunate.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
And I would assume you don't want that to be
the image for everybody to see of your football organization. Hey,
not bad guys. I don't know him personally, but I'm
assuming nobody's a bad guy over there. I like a
lot of these guys. I like the people. But hey, listen,
this is a business, and this business is not working.

(22:25):
So do you do something about it or do you
put your hands up and say, you know what, We're
kind of hosed for the next year or so. Anyway,
So let's go ahead and soak in the hosing, and
I know that that is kind of a convoluted way
to describe it. That's exactly the situation that this team
is in right now. That's what Carly Ursay Gordon is in.

(22:45):
That's the decision making process I mean, and I think
that to me it makes it easier because it's not
like you left anything to be guessed. You've tried everything,
different coaches, different coordinators, different personnel, different means to get

(23:05):
the personnel, the young quarterback, the athletic quarterback, the grandpa quarterback,
the tweeener, the hot for You've tried it all and
none of it has worked. So you tell me what
you think should be done in these circumstances, again, as

(23:25):
you're holding on by a distant thumbnail to any sort
of opportunity to get into the postseason. Yeah, I'm not
suggesting last night was a testimonial and why you have
to fire ever, buddy. I'm saying what we have witnessed
over the years is the testimonial.

Speaker 8 (23:45):
All right.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
It's not just about last night. It's not about you know,
three thousand and Niner fans behind Scott Van Pelt and
Trent Williams in the postgame show on US on ESPN.
That was an embarrassment. By the way, it has nothing
really to do about that. It has everything to do
with what's taken place on the field. You know where
you are in an organization, and let's face it, that's
where they are as an organization, right two three, nine,

(24:10):
ten to seventy. I got time for your calls coming up.
On the other side, I'm going to answer a lot
of your text line three one seven, two, three, nine

I'm still about the life of the party. I've still
got Bullseye passes for you. Merry Christmas, because I know
that bulls Eye was off the hook last night before

(24:30):
that game. The Monday night at Bullseye was incredible. I
saw all you in Touchdowntown incredible. Unfortunately, the game and
the performance, especially defensively, didn't back it up, and I
wish I had something better, more positive. Certainly this time
a year to talk about. But it's not like this
is unusual territory we've been. It's weird. I said last

I'm gonna get somebody's ass on the foo bar lickety
thank you guys at JV ten seventy on Twitter as well.

(27:22):
I was happy when the Colts finally took the early season. Seriously,
I didn't mean for them to quit halfway. Maybe the
old way was better. So we're eliminated with four weeks
ago instead of two. I will say this, ay Dale,
I thought the early season set a precedent of something
that clearly was not real.

Speaker 6 (27:44):
It wasn't It wasn't real. It was like what I.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Thought, you know, like when we're all back fellas, you know,
especially all you nerds out there like me, we all
thought that the chicks were digging us and they really didn't. Yeah,
that's kind of how the Colts look now when they
were good back then. And yeah, it was just the moment,
or maybe it was just them two three, nine, ten seventy.

(28:12):
If you're on hold, I'll get back to you. Is
Chapel going to join me later on too?

Speaker 6 (28:16):
Is that cool?

Speaker 1 (28:16):
We're going to get Mike on the day considering we're
going to be out coming up on Thursday on the
Andy Moore Automotive Group potline. I think you just finished
up the postgame show with Bill Brooks last night about
thirty five or so minutes ago. Greg Rastraw joins us, Now,
time what times you get done?

Speaker 7 (28:31):
What times? You get done.

Speaker 10 (28:33):
We wrapped up at about two fifteen. We ended up
just slightly early last night. This morning in John I've
called two full basketball games since that time. So if
you want something different to talk about, I am currently
sitting at the top of the largest and finest high
school field house in the world. Where might I be?

Speaker 6 (28:53):
You're in Newcastle, very well said.

Speaker 10 (28:55):
So if I'm tired, it could be because of lack
of sleep, or I just down that half a grinder
and some garlic she's read at Mansino's, So both those
things could be contributing factors.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Hey, Greg, go grab a chair and a broom and
get somebody out there and do some Steve Alford shooting
drills in honor of the former Newcastle Gray.

Speaker 10 (29:13):
Would you how about the fact that I stayed at
the Steve Alford All American in last night. So I'm like,
all right, if I'm gonna be up until two o'clock, yeah,
I don't feel like driving home and then getting up,
but I'm gonna drive for an extra hour. So what
I did is I signed off, checked in yesterday afternoon,
drove straight here and I think I got a about

(29:35):
five and a half hours of sleep last night at
the Steve Alford All American Inn. Look for the giant
Nevada wolf pat shoe on State Road three.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Well, I'm curious. I don't have a picture of you
right now. So if you spend the night at the
Steve Alford All American Hotel, do you have to feather
your hair and part it down the middle to walk
around in there?

Speaker 10 (29:57):
Nature has parted my hair down the middle more and
more every day for the last seven or eight years.
I have more of the Sam Alford haircut these days
compared to Steve. But no, I should have done you
know the shooting girls where you shoot free throws to rest.
I did not do that today, and for that I apologize.

(30:17):
But there is a very nice kind of trove of
plaques and memorabilia and stuff like that. So I looked
back behind the front desk operator and the nineteen ninety
four and nineteen ninety five I see ac head Coach
of the Year. Plaques commemorating Steve's time at Manchester College

(30:39):
are on display when you stop buying Visto too.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
As well done. Greg Raystraw is in Newcastle. He's the
postgame show host on the Andy Moore on a motorcrou potline.
I thought, I thought that Mike Shanahan absolutely depants the
Colts and the coaching staff last night.

Speaker 4 (30:55):
What do you think that's a good way to put it.

Speaker 10 (30:58):
I mean, when you don't punt and when you get
and of all the of all the stats from last night,
that jumps off the page at you. The Colts had
one quarterback hit that was a lot too sacked that
turned into a fumble with being a three yard games
that is picked out of the air one of the
Niners side ends. Listen, the Niners got good pieces. The

(31:18):
Niners got a really good coach. When that group is healthy,
and they weren't completely healthy because Ricky Piersall didn't play
in that game. For San Francisco, that is a good team.
And again, you know, both things can be true. The
Colts finishing kick of the season has been brutal in
terms of the level of team they have played. But
to go through an entire NFL football game, and in

(31:40):
your own building, you don't make the opposing team punt
and you hit their quarterback one time the entire game,
that's about as far from good as you can be.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah, look at rock Party was in the lazy boy.
He got the lazy boy for Christmas last night, didn't he?
Because that's what he was in.

Speaker 10 (32:00):
Again, you know our view up top, it can be
sometimes injured. Was he wearing one of those don't hit
me jerseys?

Speaker 7 (32:06):
Like you seen him?

Speaker 1 (32:09):
But you had to worry about it. Hell, you didn't
have to tell anybody not to hit him because they
weren't gonna.

Speaker 10 (32:14):
He was very much Jake Jillenhall, John Travolta buoy in
a bubble last night back there in the parket.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
So even through the injuries and all this and all
that and all the excuses, can we face the facts?
And this is where I sit with this organization, with
this team, with the personnel, with the coaching staff right now,
you know, with this group, I think that they now,
especially over Chris Ballard's tenure, every conceivable Greg Angele has

(32:44):
been exhausted. So I don't know how you live with
this any longer unless you believe you have to now
because at the trade deadline, you did mortgage the short
term for Sauce Gardner.

Speaker 10 (32:58):
Correct. And so here here's the way that I would
view it as this, are there extenuating circumstances for this
year yes, there are. But at the same time, when
you look at the overall numbers and you know, you
know the litany of numbers I'm about to drop on you,
you are not going to win the AFC South for
an eleventh consecutive season, barring something of the I don't

(33:21):
even say miraculous, but it's not trending that the Colts
are going to win their last two games or the
Texans are going to lose their last two games and
get another game or two to fall your way over
the last two weeks. That means your playoffs drout is
going to extend to five years, which means that your
playoff win rout is going to extend to eight years.
And those are not numbers that screen continuity in terms

(33:43):
of bringing somebody back. So are there extenuating circumstances for
this season, Yes, there absolutely are, But does that, you know,
override the previous seven, eight, nine years where there just.

Speaker 7 (33:57):
Hasn't been enough success.

Speaker 10 (33:58):
And so the ultimate answer here, John, is the fact
is that we don't know. We can offer what we
think we would do in this scenario, but we don't
know what Carl.

Speaker 8 (34:08):
Is gonna do.

Speaker 10 (34:09):
You know, this is the first time she has had
to make the call, and so we all kind of
wait see how Saturday and Sunday play out in terms
of what exactly is the importance of the Colts game
on Sunday afternoon, and wait to see what happens from there.
But the ultimate wildcard is is that you have someone
ne making the ultimate decision and we just don't know

(34:31):
enough about her management style yet to say is a
move going to be made?

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah, I just think that you end up lame dunking
it even more than it is if you continue down
this path, because I'll even give it credit. I mean,
it's not like that they haven't tried everything Greg, everything
Chris Ballad has tried to do.

Speaker 6 (34:51):
Nothing has worked. It just has not worked.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
And I mean by work getting results, not by working
because you're close against Seattle. We're working because you had
a nice two month stretch. But nothing has worked.

Speaker 10 (35:06):
And again, whether whether it's Chris or not, for next year,
you are somewhat, since they somewhat, you are forced to
kind of go for it next year because again, you
can't hit the reset button. Now, I'm not sure you
can fully hit the reset and turn about players. I'm
not sure you can fully hit the reset button. Even
for twenty twenty seven, you know have a first round
picking that year. Either you do have some notable free

(35:30):
agents this year whose contracts come off the books in
terms of the guys that would be of that ilk
you know to me and I talked about this in
the postgame show last night, I think Daniel Jones is
the guy you want to bring back in you hope
it's timeline hits for the beginning.

Speaker 8 (35:46):
Of training camp.

Speaker 10 (35:47):
I think Alec Pierce is the guy you absolutely have
to invest me with this point. Everybody else is kind
of negotiable. And then there's the second discussion you have,
are there contracts that you try to get out of
day year or two ago? And frankly, we didn't have
that conversation last night, and I'm not sure that's the
place for it. So again, is Chris Ballard back next year?

(36:07):
I don't know. Is Shane Steiken back next year? I
don't know, because again I don't know. I don't think
I have enough of a read on carly yards Gordon
yet to truly get engauge as to how she feels
about the situation and how she feels is the best
way to carry forward.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
So Greg Gray saw the postgame show host on the
Andy Moore Automotive Group potline. So thoughts on Rivers? I
think I already know your thoughts on the defensive effort
last night, But what about Philip Rivers in general?

Speaker 10 (36:36):
Remarkable? I mean, to have two hundred and seventy seven
yards passing at the age of forty four, when you
have basically had six practices, when you have been on
the team for two weeks and you hadn't played in
five years. It was great. Now again, was it was
he zipping fastballs in there? No or mistakes made, yes,

(36:59):
like on that pick. But the fact that he went
from not able to throw the ball longer than ten
to fifteen yards to completing some deep passes in that game.
And we should have known they were to take a
deep shot of at first play, given how the offense
was structured against the Seattle Seahawks. But he had, and
I mean this as the highest form of compliment, he

(37:19):
had an above average game as NFL quarterback. I mean,
the line that he had last night was very similar
to the line we saw Daniel Jones have when he
was having success the first eight nine weeks of the season.
Difference is he has at forty four and hadn't played
in five years, So both things can be true. We
can be disappointed in the overall outcome of the Colts

(37:43):
game and how the Colts performed, you can still marvel
in what Philip Rivers did. And that's the line that
we tried to walk last night in the postgame show.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Greg Graystraw, he's on the Andy Moore auto motive group potline.
I know this is still two games remaining, but yeah,
I know you have to me. I have to keep
Alec Pears by all means necessary, and especially if you're
going to bring back Daniel Jones, which I think it's
clear they're going to regardless, because I mean, really, what
other answers you have. I mean, this is where you

(38:14):
are quarterback right now. Is you have to hope that
you know, his rehab is expedited so he is good
to go at some point that is reasonable.

Speaker 6 (38:23):
For you next year.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
But I mean, Alex Pearce has to be a part
of this somehow, some way correct in the future.

Speaker 10 (38:29):
And again I think that Alec was a guy that
the Colts probably almost thought, Hey, we can't keep him
because you've got other pieces You've got to think about
to now being a guy that is indispensable. He's about
to average twenty yards to catch for back to back seasons.
And think about this. He's done this with multiple quarterbacks
throwing in the football in each year. You know, the

(38:51):
guys that he has been catching passes from have changed
over so many times, and he keeps getting the job done.
He is a couple of games away. I made this reference.
I think I made it on the air. If not,
then it's made it the Bill Brooks off the air
last night. The folks at Pro Football Reference. To be
amongst the all time leaders in a certain sat you

(39:13):
have to have played sixty four games, and I think
last night was Alex's sixty second game as a member
of the Indianapolis Colts. And once he hits that minimum, John,
He's in the top twenty five in terms of career
yards per catch average. His career yards per catch average
is over twenty. He's about to lead the league in

(39:34):
yards per catch for a second consecutive year. He led
that margin by five yards last year. He leads it
by two and a half this year. And Molley Cox
in our post game show last night, I was very
about talking about hey, and he has asked to do
so much more of the route tree this year and
he has showcased that. So to me, again, of all
of the varying free agents you've got, there are two
guys that you classified differently than anybody else. Daniel Jones

(39:58):
is won, Alec Pierce is the.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
There so Greg Gregstraw who's kind enough to join us
on the Andy More Automotive Group pileline.

Speaker 6 (40:05):
It was so disappointing.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
I mean, it's one thing to have, you know too
as Rick Venturi would call them ambient players, as with
McCaffrey and Kittle, but they did basically whatever they wanted
to do, yep, when they're out there running around, and
that is massively disappointing.

Speaker 10 (40:24):
You know, we have the stat that is third down
conversions that we highlight in the postgame show, and I
said that last night the Niners were seven of eleven
and it felt like they were better. They were one
of one and the one time they didn't convert it
on third down. But no, and again you know, doesn't
mean it's easy to stop, but you know who you
have to key out when you're playing that team. And

(40:44):
McCaffrey Kittle and Party can almost pointing go the balls
going here, and that's what happened. Frankly, it was how
the Colts offense ran the first eight weeks of the season.
Is what the Niners looked like last night.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Yeah, highly unfortunate, it is, So have you done all
the masmatics and the strength of schedule that surrounds any
possibility for the Colts to getting into the postseason where
you were required to do that?

Speaker 6 (41:07):
Last night?

Speaker 10 (41:08):
I knew going in because the Colts didn't have the
E on their name, And then I did a quick
check of all right, if the permutations play out, both
teams would be eight and four in the conference. And again, folks,
it's as simple as Houston has to lose out, Colts
have to win out, and obviously they play each other
the last game of the season, and then there is
some other help. And just scrolling through you know, Twitter,

(41:31):
I think like the Raiders have to beat the Chiefs,
which sounds crazy as center of the Raiders at two
and thirteen with the Chiefs out of their third quarterback,
they're switching states apparently, so you know, stuff might happen
in that game, but basically it would come down to
the strength of victory tiebreaker. And again this is where
having wins. I think it's teams like the Broncos and

(41:51):
Chargers do play a benefit for the Colts. But simply put,
if the Texans go to LA on Saturday and win
that game in this season is officially in the past.

Speaker 7 (42:01):
Tens for the Indian.

Speaker 4 (42:02):
Auty is over.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Greg Rakestraws are the Andy Moore Automotive Group, Potline and Newcastle,
my brother, I appreciate you, you and the fam have

to text line three one seven, two three nine ten
seventy phones at two three nine, ten seventy all accurate

(42:45):
and my thoughts, your thoughts on the moment and what
should be the future. And again this is not just
a stirring it up initial reaction momentary to get everybody
fired up.

Speaker 6 (42:59):
I think that we.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Have a pretty strong basis of understanding where this thing
is and face it where it's not going to go,
where it has no chance to lead because everything has
been exhausted. Quick break your phones. On the other side,

Touchdown, touchdown n d Y for Schonathan Taylor and the
Colts have a pulse six on the board thirty four
twenty six twenty A time left.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
Matt Tenor the voice of the Colts right there. They
lose last night on Monday Night Football, hanging on by
a sliver of hope for the postseason, and so much
of it is going to be dictated with the Texans
coming up on Saturday, Uh mid time. I'm get a
lot of this, as you would say, it's a lot
of this, and mostly what I'm getting right now in

(47:06):
social media feedback about what I started this show on.
You know, the direction this organization is going to go
after the season is exactly how I explained it. I
get one side that's saying, hey, you know, this team
was compromise with injuries, the quarterback being one, and there

(47:34):
were cruising along and then all of a sudden, they
go in the crapper and things go haywire and what
looked to be like a slam dunk postseason and more
than likely their first division title since twenty fourteen once
again fades out of the picture and no postseason. Thus,

(47:58):
you take my angle when they made that deal with
the NFL trade deadline for Sauce Gardner, I felt at
that time that everybody is going to be back. They
would reset this again. Now it was with better circumstances.
You look at the game since and I would allow
you to look around the NFL landscape a little bit

(48:20):
and notice like the team that they were playing last
night has also been compromised due to injuries. Had their
quarterback back, but they had been compromised over the season
due to injuries and still were last night, and they're
able to move forward.

Speaker 6 (48:38):
But as I mentioned.

Speaker 1 (48:39):
Earlier, you're going to have two sides of it, those
that still believe and believe that this is not the
fault of the organization, and then those that would suggest
enough is enough.

Speaker 6 (48:56):
And that's the category in which I'm in.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
And this is not again without exhausting every single possible decision.
This is not on a whim, This is not a
snap judgment, This is not being pissed off about a loss.
This is who they are and it's zero fun, no

(49:24):
fun whatsoever. Now the next two years aren't going to
be any fun. September and October were incredibly enjoyable, and
losing your quarterback is a big deal and incredibly unfortunate.
But as I mentioned, you could see that the Pittsburgh

(49:45):
game was a bad game. You could see it coming.
Why though, do other teams get the opportunity to maintain
and then the cold can't. The Colts never can grind
through a damn thing, and I just feel the decision

(50:08):
right here, and you're listen. It is not a slam
dunk that this whole thing doesn't get run back, because
you can make a serious argument that how are you
going to do anything else? I mean, why would you
even mess with her right now? Because you don't have
any options. You have put yourself in a corner that
you either go with most of what you have right

(50:30):
now and hope for the best next season, or as
many have suggested, you go ahead and start new and
you're going to be bad again next season. But I'm
just on the side right now where I'm exhausted of
excuses for all of this, and if I'm unwilling to

(50:53):
listen to a lot of your excuses for all this,
then pardon me. But like I said, it's a reinvention
of the same old, same old.

Speaker 11 (51:09):
Man.

Speaker 1 (51:09):
You tell me how magically they're going to transform themselves.

Speaker 6 (51:13):
Out of this.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
Well, we go through life and so many things happen
to us, and it's not our fault. I'll give you
a great example right now. I may sound like I'm underwater,
you know what is not my fault. I may sound
like I'm underwater, you know it's not the people that
I work with in their fault. It's the transition that
we're making. It happens a lot of things that aren't

(51:36):
your fault. But it's been nine years for a general
manager through three years now with the head coach. I
just don't know how you're going to have the change
that is necessary without making that change which is necessary.
But I fully understand that you may not considering the

(51:56):
circumstances and where you are. I think Greg gray Straw
brought up a great point. You have no idea what
Carle Orsa Gordon is going to decide here, and she
made very well along with others, decide on the fact
that I so we're going to do this right now.
But why because you know we're going to have the

(52:17):
same problems, but now we're going to be looking for
new organizational pieces, new coaches, and may decide to go
with it.

Speaker 6 (52:32):
I just think we've seen everything.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
I don't think there is anything else that they can
possibly do to ever be.

Speaker 6 (52:41):
What they hope to be.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
And sometimes it just works out that way. Sometimes you
recognize it earlier, other times other times you don't, And
in some cases like this, maybe you never recognize it
at all.

Speaker 6 (52:56):
But I don't know.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
At this point how you're just not just overwhelm to
exhaustion from the excuses, because it is just non stop.
That's where I am with this. I've been with this, listen.
I've been this way a long time. And you go
back to the first two months of the season, and
I was willing you. Guys all said, now you got
to eat crow because you wanted to get rid of

(53:18):
everybody in January, and I was willing to do it.
That's fine, It's just part of what this job entails.
But on the other hand, you look back at January
and how you scrubbed it. You may be going through
some similar circumstances as you are right now. We shall

(53:42):
get your thoughts and some of you are different. That's
where it normally is right here. But I just wanted
to go ahead and present you both sides. It's not
just hey, you have to listen to me and you
have to take my advice. And that's the only thing
that matters, because I know that others are thinking about it,
and there it's weird. It is really weird where they

(54:06):
are right now. And I will say this, you look
at next year and the year after with no number ones.

Speaker 6 (54:16):
You do not have what they call now one of the.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
Buzz terms of the sports world is optionality there and
not a lot of optionality. I mean you really, if
you think about it, their choice may have to be
going with it because you really have no other choice.
Hotspot Bucks Pacers coming up later on tonight.

Speaker 6 (54:40):
I love the commercial of the plays.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
It's the final appearance at Gambridge Field, ows of Miles
Turner this season. Man talking about forgettable, I mean the
Pacers are going through a gap season right now. The
Cults are probably going to have two gap seasons. And
this has been like a gap era. We've lived in

(55:02):
the gap for the better part of the last eight
nine years. Right two three, nine, ten seventy. I promise
you guys calls three one seven nine ten seventy is
the text line in studio. Happy holidays to everybody. As
the Colts come off that loss on Monday Night football
last night, and we're all is always searching for answers.

(55:24):
We start with Mike in Brooklyn, New York. Kello, Mike,
how are you JV?

Speaker 7 (55:29):
What's up?

Speaker 6 (55:30):
Mike?

Speaker 1 (55:30):
What's happening?

Speaker 7 (55:32):
Let me ask you this? Uh, I'm I've been very
I'm very impressed with Uh with Colly. I think she's
very intelligent. She she gets it. Uh, who do you
who do you think is advising her on the whole
hierarchy thing. I mean, I'm hoping it's somebody like a
like a Boopoleon or a Tony Dungee to evaluate the evaluators,

(55:55):
Like who is she like?

Speaker 1 (55:56):
I would assume that somebody like Dungeee is probably giving
some some consultation and some advice. But you know, other
than other than that, I don't I don't know. I
don't know who on the inside, because I would assume
she probably leaned on on Chris a great deal, so

(56:18):
you know, for the inner workings of it, if you're
you're going to move forward and look at this, you know,
a fair and balanced fashion. I mean, it can't be him,
So I'm assuming whomever she's had I really don't know.
I don't know who she's had a tremendous connection or
relationship with that she would trust within the organization to

(56:39):
make the right call. From the past, I would guess
a guy like Dungee would be the first thing or
the first person you might think about. But other than that,
I'm not I'm not quite sure. I don't know if
it would be Bill Poland anymore either. Maybe, but yeah,
I don't know. There's a great deal of unknown. I
thought Greg brought that point up last hour or two.
As far as you know, there's a great unknown about.

Speaker 6 (57:00):
You know, what do you what do you want out
of this here?

Speaker 1 (57:03):
Because Mike, they're in a tremendously bad spot right now.

Speaker 6 (57:08):
They just are.

Speaker 7 (57:10):
Yeah, Kobeashi Maru no win situation. You know, I put
I put myself in like her position. Like you know,
you don't want to you want to look at it objectively.
I'm with you on a lot of things. But I think, actually,
you know, Chris Ballad has done a good job this year.
I can't you know, the Daniel Jones everything that he's done,
But like you said, it hasn't worked. And when then

(57:30):
when you look at the you know the totality of it.
I think Chris Ballad is a good talent evaluator and
and you know sometimes he gets caught up in that
ras stuff, but I mean he hits on his draft picks.
You don't want guys that can't evaluate players. But to me,
when you look at it, you can't separate. I mean
if you're going to do something with Ballad.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
Yes, I agree. I mean, if you're going to keep one,
you've got to keep the other. Yeah, I mean why
would you want to bring in a different general manager
with a head coach and then lame duck Dad?

Speaker 6 (58:01):
And yeah, I agree. This is why.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
This is why I said, and you and I talked
about this really a couple of different times on this
show this season. Is when they made that deal for
Sauce Gardner. I thought that kind of ets things in stone,
that these guys were going to be entrenched for the
foreseeable future. But losing out, I think losing out changes

(58:25):
it here. Or winning one game since Halloween to close
out the season after starting and doing something that you
know has been done you know, less than a handful
of times, and missing the postseason, flaming out in this
fashion injury wise or not. I think that there's there's
probably going to be some ramifications that fall in line

(58:46):
if you end up losing out of that fashion.

Speaker 7 (58:49):
Yeah. Well, for me the question is is what I've
I've called you up on a million talked about a
million times, is when I look at it. The main
issue to me is, sayin stiking is not a head coach.
He is the latest in the long line of guys
who are great coordinators, just like Josh McDaniels. He's not
a head coach. He's never going to be a great

(59:11):
head coach. I don't even think he wants to be.
He's he wants to call offense, he wants to scheme offense.
You know, the Patriots are in a good situation now
because they got Josh McDaniels back in his natural spot,
and they got a head coach and Mike Rabel. Shane
Stikeen is not that guy. And the culture of this
team spanning, just like you know, Frank Reich wasn't spanning

(59:34):
this whole era. You know, your favorite term culture. I mean,
these guys have never they've never experienced this. All they've
been told is, you know, don't worry about it, positive
reinforcement on everything, every even last night, don't worry if
we still got it. We just got to grind away.
We got to, you know, clean up a few things.
I don't want you guys feeling bad about it. We

(59:56):
got we have faith in you. We just got to
keep keep working. And you know, so these guys that
have been there a long time. That's why this is
a no win situation because you've got to clear out
a lot of those guys that have been there and
they're old now, they've been good players, they've been there.
You know, the Buckner's, the Kenny Moore's, the fireho Franklins
definitely has to go. But all these guys have to go.

(01:00:18):
I mean, it comes to a point in time where
your organization doesn't it just feel like it's run its course.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
You're almost and you're approaching age wise with a lot
of these guys age wise, and really what they want
to do. Some of these veterans in their career. I mean,
some of these dudes may not want to stay here
for the last couple of years, knowing what you know
or feel that you know about, you know, the short
term future of this team right now.

Speaker 6 (01:00:43):
And I wouldn't blame on it.

Speaker 7 (01:00:45):
How about this idea if you want to, if you
wanted to really be like the Saints and just really
just blow it up and say we're going to have
a fire sale, and maybe you go and make an
offer to a rising star who is a head coach,
like a Marcus Freeman, and just turn it over and
say listen, we're going to give you a long term contract.

(01:01:06):
We're not going to worry about, you know, hitching out
where Daniel Jones was a good signing, but he was
trending back to being what he was. I have for
me personally, I don't think the good cults would be
that in the same I think that would be in
the same situation, I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
I don't think it'd be anybody like I don't think
it'd be anybody like that. I think to get somebody
in here that you don't have right now, it would
have to be somebody that is going to get that
first time, little known job to come in and to
just you know, basically under a microscope everything and then

(01:01:42):
make it his growing into his own. That's why, as
I sit here right now, I don't think they do
anything true story, I don't think they do a damn thing.

Speaker 6 (01:01:52):
I don't.

Speaker 7 (01:01:53):
You're right, and I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:01:55):
And and.

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
Really that's not a softer pro because I think I
think by now everybody might knows how I feel about
it and what should be done. But you know, other
than the fans saying we're going to revolt and we're
not going to care about you next year, which we
all know that a lot of these fans are going
to be back next year and have some interest at
least at the beginning. I mean, other than that, I

(01:02:19):
don't know what choices you might have because you mortgage
the short term and you made your bed on this,
so you can blow it up and you know you're
going to be bad or like, I'll be honest with you,
I think it's already blown up. I think this whole
thing is blown up. And I think all that matters
is you know how you end up wanting to ride

(01:02:40):
this thing out right now?

Speaker 7 (01:02:43):
Yep?

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
I think the other thing is to regarding Daniel Jones,
he showed again this year that he's unable to stay healthy.
So you're hoping a guy gets his rehab expedited so
he's back in time to help this team win as
early as possible, full well knowing that over now the
seven year period of his career, he's been unable to

(01:03:04):
stay healthy.

Speaker 7 (01:03:06):
Yep. And you're gonna hit your wag into that. What
do you what are you gonna pay him next year?
You're gonna you're gonna give him top dollar money to try.
You're gonna franchise him. You know, and they're they're in
a situation where, like you said, you're.

Speaker 1 (01:03:18):
Gonna have to franchise peers, I would imagine, right, because
the other thing is you don't have money. Absolutely, you're
gonna lose. You're gonna lose something like you're gonna lose
Nick Cross because there's no way you're gonna be able
to fit him in.

Speaker 6 (01:03:28):
No no, no, no, no, no no no.

Speaker 7 (01:03:29):
Nick Cross and Pierce are must.

Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
You watch, They're gonna they're gonna lose one or the other.
And I bet you we know which one they're going
to side with here, So.

Speaker 6 (01:03:40):
I yeah, that would be my guest.

Speaker 7 (01:03:41):
I can't see that because I would I would offload
some of those veteran guys like that and guys that
whole defensive line quddy pay. Everybody saying well Buckler buck Yeah,
Buckler was a great player, but he's old. Now you
can't commit the money to him. Grow still, you can't
commit whatever twelve that million dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
If you're divorced, Buckner, why would you want to continue
on here?

Speaker 6 (01:04:02):
And nothing against the organization.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
They've treated you well, but why would you not want
to go someplace else? I mean, you you're a month
out of not knowing if you're ever going to be
able to play again, and your situation was so compromise,
you go to Panama during the off week to get
stem cell on your neck. Why would you want to
play in a place that if there is a vision

(01:04:26):
for the next couple of years, it's incredibly negative. And
I think you said the same thing really about Jonathan
Taylor if you wanted to.

Speaker 7 (01:04:34):
Yeah, I mean I would look at that. I'm thinking
about that too. I mean Jonathan Taylor, he's going into
the last year of his contract, he's going into his
seventh year. If you wanted to start over, you have
to start looking at assets that you can get something fun.
I mean, you could probably get a third or fourth
round pick for Jonathan Taylor. Everybody said, oh, what's that?
But you're not going to win with him, so you
might as well get something and start building. That's why

(01:04:56):
Nick Cross to me is and ps, these are guys
that you can extend out and that could be with
you in three or four years when you're looking to
make them.

Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
Really my brother, They're going to have to swallow so
much Jegermeister during this process, it's I mean, it's going
to be.

Speaker 6 (01:05:12):
It is going to be rough.

Speaker 1 (01:05:13):
If everybody thinks it's rough right now, you just wait
until you see how they try to cobble something together
in the off season. And that's that's why I think
you're going to see a lot of this. They're going
to try, I think, as as much as they can
to keep a lot of this still together. Hey Mike,
it's always a pleasure to have you on. Maybe on
Friday when I'm back in here to preview what happens

(01:05:33):
coming up this weekend. But you and the fam, happy
holidays in Brooklyn, New York.

Speaker 7 (01:05:38):
Brother, Thank all the best, Thank you night.

Speaker 1 (01:05:41):
I I just think my bad about the Yeager mister.
Some of you may dig that I'm not a big jaegermeister. Guy,
I'll tell you the person. Will you go to the
bar and says, hey, I've got your shots. Has anybody
ever bought you around of Jeger?

Speaker 11 (01:06:01):
I mean, I've done Yeager bombs.

Speaker 6 (01:06:02):
But that person needs their ass whipped. Seriously. Come on, now,
why Jaeger.

Speaker 11 (01:06:08):
Just cuz every every now and then I guess someone
has a craving for it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:15):
I can say I've never ever had a crave. And
now you're going to say, well, you eat Tuning cottage cheese,
so shut the blank up on this, okay, But I've
never had the feeling that I need a shot of Jager,
and I've always kind of looked down upon it. It's
a nice gesture when somebody buys you a shot or
a Jaeger bomb, as you said, but I've never thought, hey,

(01:06:37):
thanks a lot for the Yaeger. James has uh quick
way a quick break, I should say, we shall return.
We got a Coats update coming up next. Do we
not know Coats up date today? So we got round
table coming up tonight. I don't think Shadon Steichen is
a part of a roundtable, but round tables tonight. That
will lead you from six until seven, right, and then

(01:07:00):
Pacer pre games at seven, that is correct, Yeah, seven
thirty tip time for the Bucks and the Pacers coming
up later on tonight. Here on the fan for you
Pacers lose last night, had a big lead, could not
hold on. Jyleb Brown outstanding Celtics get the paces. I
know a lot of you were focused in. I hated
that scene with all the Niners fans, you know, in

(01:07:22):
front of Trent Williams and Scott Van Pelt after the game.
That wasn't good. A lot of Niners fans here last night.
I didn't know that they traveled that much. Anyway, Philip
Rivers had a really nice night. The offense that did
most of its job. The defense couldn't do anything nothing. Now,

(01:07:46):
what would you do coming up of the offseason? Again,
we have a lot of time to talk about it.
But what advice would you give right now? At two
nine ten seventy three one seven is the text line?
You want to hit me up there? Hey, stay right there.
Your calls on the other side too. Mike Choppell coming
up at the five o'clock hour. This is nainety three

(01:08:08):
to five and one oh seven five the fan, the
ride with JMV. Will We're waiting ninety three five and
one oh seven five the fan. Four down linemen for
San Francisco Rivers out of the gun. Back's the pass,
He's got time. H He throws up into the end.

Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
Zone eight puts down Pierce again Touchstember two tonight Crolet pierced.
It covers sixteen yards to the house. Pierce having a
huge game touchdown. I indeed, why fourteen thirteen the.

Speaker 1 (01:08:43):
Score Matt and Rick on the Cults Radio Network last night. Yeah,
just throw it up Dalk Pierce, he said on the
Colts pregame, Hotal that was me. Just throw it up
to him and see what happens. Outstanding, and You're going
to have to make some tough decisions here.

Speaker 6 (01:09:04):
I was just going over this.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
With Mike and Brooklyn in regarding Alec Peers and Nick Cross,
and there are going to be some veterans in this offseason,
especially if you're trying to redo this thing on the fly,
and those are going to be the assets that you're

(01:09:26):
probably going to have to deal with here, some of
these veteran guys. Forty eight twenty seven was the final
last night. The Colts had absolutely zero answers. We have
seen some bad Colts defensive efforts over the years. That
was among one of the worst of all time. Man

(01:09:50):
brock Perty was just chilling two ninety five through the air,
quarterback rating about twenty five point eight five tds. One
pick that was an overthrow. I think to buy them
McCaffrey twenty one one seventeen, George Kittle seven for one fifteen.

Speaker 6 (01:10:15):
So think about this for a moment.

Speaker 1 (01:10:17):
You know those that you knew that you needed to
try to ride herd as best you can on on
the Niners offense just basically did whatever the hell they
wanted to do. Yeah, McCaffrey, a couple of touchdowns through
the air last night forty eight twenty seven was the final.

(01:10:39):
Now the Colts hang on to see what happens on
Saturday night. As of course, you're hoping that the Texans
will lose and then gives the Colts some sort of
opportunity with accommodation of yeah, I know, winning out Texans,
losing out strength of schedule.

Speaker 6 (01:11:00):
You know, we ran the numbers a little bit earlier.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
It's a very Phil Collins rest of the season for
the Colts in terms of the postseason against all odds,
four point thirty of the afternoon. By the way, the
Texans on the road against the Chargers charge is pretty good. Meantime,
two three nine ten seventy is the number the Texa
line three one seven two nine ten seventy as well. JMV.

(01:11:29):
Do you think we get rid of Pittman to free
up some money. I think again, you're going to have
to do some things with veteran guys that you normally
wouldn't want to but you're gonna have to considering where
you are. Shout out to Jimmy and Broad Ripple, Jambie.
The bar the Colts have said is an organization is

(01:11:50):
that we will be competitive until December and then fall
short in the postseason or making the postseason. It's my
expectation of this organization moving forward and that won't change
until I'm proven wrong. I don't think change has made
this offseason because the inheritance tax is real. I don't
think the Daughters want to pay a coach and a
general manager not to work for them any longer. Although

(01:12:15):
I will tell you this, I think it's a move
that needs to be made in Jimmy and Broad Ripple.
Clark the Cub, JMV run it back next year because
we can't get anyone else.

Speaker 6 (01:12:28):
Watch ar.

Speaker 1 (01:12:31):
Mac Jones compete and fire everyone starting fresh in twenty
twenty seven. I will say this, Clark the Cub, to
me sitting here right now and knowing what I know,
that seems if I were going to guess or wager,

(01:12:52):
that's what I would go with happening.

Speaker 6 (01:12:54):
Isn't that Nobody's gonna like it?

Speaker 1 (01:12:56):
And then everybody thinks around here, well, you're carrying the
Colts water. I think, oh no, I'm carrying the only
water Eye carries. For me, I'm soaking in it. But
when you have to be hardcore, you have to be hardcore.
That's just the nature of this business. And that's what
you're going to be. That's what we have been. But

(01:13:17):
I am always going to be not bombastic for reason,
but honest because that's what you desire. And my honest
opinion is they do nothing. What I believe should happen
is a one point eighty because we have seen it all.

(01:13:40):
Nothing has worked, and I think if everybody is tired
of it, especially if you lose out, Let's just say,
for example, you continue to fade out in this fashion. Hey,
it's not like you're just making a decision based upon
the end of the season when you're injured. You're making
a era decision on an era that hasn't worked. To me,

(01:14:03):
that's fine. To me, that's logical. I don't think that's
gonna happen.

Speaker 6 (01:14:14):
That is the thought.

Speaker 1 (01:14:15):
Shout out to Derek saying the Colts just can't win
on American soil. Now, the Colts have not won since
Tennessee Meeting, Tennessee prior to Halloween. No, I'm sorry they
will mean one on American soil is what I'm trying
to say here. They won to Berlin in overtime over Atlanta,

(01:14:38):
and I still contend that you saw this coming Pittsburgh
again and you can say, what was a bad game.
They turned the ball over six times. It was an
incredibly bad game. But you saw the decline and then
obviously the injury and the compromised movement and all that,
and Nicholets have no answers. As I mentioned before, when

(01:14:59):
you're free and easy and there's not much resistance there
and you're dictating terms, this team can do that when
you got to grind get some things done. Coaching wise,
playing wise, decision making wise. That has been an issue. Jamv.

(01:15:22):
We're tired as hell of the soft ass coaching. Need
someone mean, I mean Ben Johnson or Vrabel men Verbel.
That also makes everybody sick because everybody else has been down,
back up, back down and back up again. It's taking
Mike Vrabel five minutes to re emerge New England. Now,

(01:15:48):
it's amazing stuff, all right, Two three, nine, ten to
seventy James, Can we talk to Jim. Right here is
Jim up next to two three nine ten seventy. Hello Jim, how.

Speaker 8 (01:15:56):
Are you find you?

Speaker 7 (01:15:58):
How you doing?

Speaker 6 (01:15:58):
J Mvhjim. I'm fantastic good.

Speaker 11 (01:16:01):
You know.

Speaker 9 (01:16:01):
I a longtime season ticket holder here and you know,
without the game last night, and first of all, Rivers
put in an incredible effort. But as a ticket holder,
I'm sitting here going why I get it for a
couple of games maybe, but I look at it and
I'm like, why are we just not playing Raley Leonard
if he's available, you know, And I'm like, he's the future.

(01:16:23):
And when I look at I think you and I
shared the same view at the beginning of the season,
like what are we doing? And I was surprised or
like all of us were midway through the season. But
it's the Sauce trade for me that really just put
a gun to our heads, like we are that thing.
I no offense to Sauce at all in any of that,

(01:16:43):
but I think even his time in New York has
shown us that like that position does not win you games,
and you need the quarterback. And now we're stuck for
two years without a first round pick, and I don't
know how you dig out of it. So to me,
I was on the fire Valor train. I couldn't even
get home last year after game to say get rid
of them, and they had already said he's coming back,

(01:17:04):
And so I told my season ticket rep. I was
pissed about them not even giving me the time to
get home from downtown. And I saw the press release
last year and now I'm like, what are we doing?
And we're gonna I can't believe we're sitting here going
We're in a worse spot than we were at the
dame of the season.

Speaker 6 (01:17:20):
Yeah, it's incredible.

Speaker 1 (01:17:22):
And what's funny, it's almost like they dangled the positivity
and that carrot in such a fashion to where it
makes these circumstances even worse. Like between you and I,
if they were to go ahead and reset in Januay,
you and I were both on the same page gym
with this. If they were to do that, then you
wouldn't have those false positives, and the bar wouldn't be

(01:17:46):
that high, and you'd be in a much better situation,
and that rebuild would be now moving on. But now
you're stuck in neutral and nowhere really to go for
the foreseeable future. So really, the winning in the first
two months of the season made the impact of where
you are right now even worse one hundred percent.

Speaker 9 (01:18:08):
And I do one thing I would say is I
would give I don't think you need to couple the
coach and Baal, you know, Styking and Balort together. I
think that I think what I saw this year was
if you, if the front office would give Stike in
the quarterback, which he has not been able to solve
for nine years, we might actually have some guy who

(01:18:30):
can play, do some play calling, and maybe you could say, hey,
you should have developed they are, But I'm not sure
that's all on him, you know, because they are deserve
some response.

Speaker 1 (01:18:39):
You know, you know who the you know, the best
choice the quarterback is right now for them is to
rehab Daniel Jones. And Daniel Jones was at his best
when Shane Stykin was coaching him. So their best path,
their best path right now is to keep Styking and
Daniel Jones because I don't really see anything else transpiring.

Speaker 9 (01:18:57):
I think that keeps psyching Daniel owns. But Hallard, he's
got to go. It's just too come on, We've been
at this too long. He's got it's if anyone's got
to go with him. So and last comment on I
heard your guy cop commenting about, you know, carly ors,
they may want to think about bringing in a minority investor.
You know, from that standpoint, I would not be surprised

(01:19:20):
if that happens in the off season.

Speaker 1 (01:19:22):
So it does make you wonder, and all I hear
would be rumor, but it does make you wonder if
that indeed may end up being in the path. I
don't know enough about it other than just the rumors
that you hear about what may be necessary to keep viable,
you know, and I mean mine, I'm kind of more
just on what happens on the field and the decisions

(01:19:43):
moving forward. But yeah, that's certainly something that's bouncing around
the city in terms of the future and ownership of
this team here, no doubt, do him anything else?

Speaker 8 (01:19:54):
Hey man, you keep looking great.

Speaker 9 (01:19:56):
I see you around town from time to time.

Speaker 8 (01:19:57):
You look great.

Speaker 1 (01:19:58):
Do I look like a scarecrow? Some guy said I
looked like a scarecrow, and there's no way in the
world anybody would want to look like me.

Speaker 6 (01:20:04):
Seriously, No, you look you look fantastic.

Speaker 9 (01:20:07):
I saw you get the race earlier this year and.

Speaker 8 (01:20:10):
We took a tour like, hey, there's Jammy. You look fantastic.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
I appreciate that. Great Jim, have a great holiday, Thank
you very much, James. Do I look like a scarecrow?
Some guy called me a scarecrow? I think, Greg, I
don't mind. Like it didn't piss me off or anything,
because I thought he said you looked like to Scarecrow
and Wizard of Oz, which was Ray Bulger. And if
you remember, the one thing that I took from that
is I want to be more flexible. Because the scarecrow

(01:20:36):
was flexible.

Speaker 6 (01:20:37):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
I'm not a great deal flexible. I want to be
more flexible.

Speaker 11 (01:20:41):
Well, it sounds like you can get on that.

Speaker 1 (01:20:43):
Then, yeah, scarecrow, I'm looking. Does that look like a
scarecrow behind me? I don't think he said nobody wants
to look like that. What do you talk about it?

Speaker 11 (01:20:50):
I love how every time you move the camera has
a complete Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:20:54):
Somebody's saying one O seven five.

Speaker 6 (01:20:56):
Is foo bar? Is that true?

Speaker 11 (01:20:58):
I am not sure, Jane.

Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
When you plug it back in, for God's sake.

Speaker 11 (01:21:02):
I will, I will unplug us and I will plug
us back in. I'll do the old turnoff, turnoff, turn
on again.

Speaker 1 (01:21:07):
The Colts may not reset of the offseason, but James
is going to reset one O seven five right now,
just for you guys out there.

Speaker 6 (01:21:14):
We can't have fubar. No fubar.

Speaker 1 (01:21:18):
Yeah, the future a quarterback.

Speaker 6 (01:21:22):
I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:21:22):
You may not like the answer, but the future is now,
at least from what I believe is going to occur.
You tell me what other options may be out there
that Pacers later on tonight, do not go anywhere the
stream the app hopefully one O seven to five and
ninety three to five to fan back to.

Speaker 7 (01:21:41):
The next.

the Andy Moore Automotive Group Hotline. He is from CBS
four and Fox fifty nine. Not as normal routine on
a Thursday, but late in the five o'clock hour now
on a Tuesday afternoon. Mike Chapel joins us. Hello, Mike,

(01:28:19):
how are you good there?

Speaker 8 (01:28:21):
You don Mike Hay holiday see before we get into
the badstuff.

Speaker 6 (01:28:25):
Yeah, oh happy? Oh you did.

Speaker 1 (01:28:28):
I thought you were going to elaborate on the happy
holidays before we get into the bad stuff.

Speaker 8 (01:28:32):
So no, just just happy holidays, you too, buddy. I'm
a chury guy.

Speaker 1 (01:28:36):
You too. Did you get enough sleep after staying up
as late as you did last night?

Speaker 8 (01:28:40):
No, I'm not as fast as I used to be,
and I was. I left the stadium about two forty five,
got home at three, probably got to sleep at four thirty.
Because you're always well, I always replay things in my
mind show I said this year, I said that, So
then I get up about ten. So now it's no, no,

(01:29:02):
not nearly enough.

Speaker 1 (01:29:03):
Well, I mean not nearly enough defense. Among the really
awful defensive performances we have seen in the past more
than a handful of years or even through decades, where
would that one rank?

Speaker 6 (01:29:16):
Last night?

Speaker 8 (01:29:17):
Yeah, we were thinking about that, and I don't know,
the second half of the Vikings game, when you're up
thirty three to nothing, Drew Locke taking you out behind
a wood shedd and beaten on you. The three seventy
five at Jacksonville is always has always brought up about

(01:29:37):
what jackson have been running the football that day. I
tried to find something to pinpoint how bad it was,
and what I came up with was, that's the first
time the Colts haven't forced a punt in eighteen years,
two hundred ninety three games and sixty five hundred days

(01:29:59):
and all that stuff. It's just ridiculous. I realize you're
facing a tremendous offense when it gets going with McCaffrey
and Kittles and all those guys. But mackam pott his
name's Thomas Moore said he's their punter, having him do
more than hold for like fifteen placements. Yeah, they're just

(01:30:20):
was there wasn't much resistance. And I know personnel is
an issue. I know it is. You're missing Sauce Gardner
and Mooney Ward and awards done for the year, and
the Forest Buccaneer was coming back after whatever's been five
weeks off. But holy smokes, slow them down, and they're

(01:30:45):
just they're they're not getting much of anything from their
two first round picks, Quitty pay and lat on a
consistent basis at all. And then the back end, you know,
with the corners being out, you're you're relying on Jonathan Edwards,
who you didn't want to play early in the year,

(01:31:07):
and Cam Mitchell, who whenever I see his number, I
keep having to look at the card to see who
it is. Makay Blackman, Jalen Jones for some reason they
don't want to play him. This is the guy that
started twenty seven games the last two years. And then
Kennymore's anymore. I'm not lumping him in there, but they're

(01:31:28):
just it's we always talk with the defense, what does
a good pass rush make help the back ends? The
back end help the defensive the front. Well, when you
get neither, you're just gonna get smoked, and that's what
last night was. And uh it's they head guys running
open and you know, so I don't know that's one

(01:31:51):
that after what they did in Seattle, it's really hard
to fathom to come out and do that at home,
your crowd Monday night football, you know, show we got guys,
and then you do that. Uh it left me wondering
what's going on on defense? And uh, there there were

(01:32:14):
shortcomings all over the place, a little not a ton
on offense, special team tournam with the which better kickoff fombo,
But this was this was a defense defensive collapse and
it was at every level and in every form and fashion.

Speaker 1 (01:32:31):
To Mike Chapels on the Andy Mono at Amotive Group plotline, Mike,
this organization is in a really bad spot for the
foreseeable future. And it's almost like you get that September
and October that was so feel good that you go
back to and I remember you and I having this
conversation last January and I said, man, it is time

(01:32:53):
to get rid of everybody. Let's get rid of everybody.
And had you done that, then you would be in
I would guess what. No, Honestly, you would be regardless
of knowing nothing right now, in a much better situation
than you are right now moving forward.

Speaker 8 (01:33:08):
In hindsight, yes, yes they probably they probably wouldn't have
been seven to one, but and who knows what they
would be you know, eight and seven whatever? Now, I
don't know, but you would be Yes, in hindsight. If
you can go back there and and blow it up,

(01:33:29):
then then you've got a clean slate. Now, who knows
what they would have done a quarterback? Who knows what
they would have done with the roster. I don't know.
But the spot they're in there is I don't know what.
I don't know what the best course is. I know
what the fan base wants. They want to nuke it that,
they want to tear it down to the studs.

Speaker 1 (01:33:50):
Can I tell you what I think they're gonna do.
I think there's a difference here. I know what I
believe they should do, but I think they're going to
remain the same for the most part here movie.

Speaker 8 (01:34:05):
Yeah. Yeah, and the fan base doesn't want to hear it.
But I'm telling you, if I had to argue one
or the other, Uh, the more the more optimistic option
of of the options is one more year and point
I know that just fan base is just is just

(01:34:27):
yelling at me right now because they've waited, and they've waited,
then they've waited. But with the moves that have been made,
and kick in mind, Carly was on board with these moves.
Members did the thing where she told Chris Battle on
the trade for sauce basically, do it the long term,
do it, and it cost you two first round picks.

(01:34:49):
So I could argue stronger now And I wouldn't have
said this last year that the more, the more realistic
approaches that bring everybody back, and it would be it
would be with or else. It would be one of
those or else. Uh. But but the way the roster
is constructed with the agency players and guys in contracts

(01:35:13):
through next year, and and and not knowing what you've
got with Daniel Jones, uh, you know, I think I
think the rationality boy, when when when he was healthy,
we were seven and one, eight and two, and we
we were one of the best teams in the a
f C. And that's just that's not blowing smoke, that's

(01:35:34):
that's fact it is. And then once he got hurt
with the first refractured leg, and then and then the Achilles,
it's all gone to hell, and it's and and then
and then there's one thing that in the offensive line
that they're down both tackles yesterday, and then Bordolini gets
a concussion on the second play. So I think that

(01:35:56):
that when they sit in a room and Carly, Carly
is not going to make decisions from the heart. She's
not She's gonna be analytical, look at this, what's the
best course? And if you've blow it up, you've got
no worst round draft picks for two years. What do

(01:36:16):
you do with Jones?

Speaker 12 (01:36:17):
The inn?

Speaker 8 (01:36:17):
I mean, do you bring him back? And if he
say no, then okay, here we go again. Who's your
quarterback next year? So it's a very difficult situation. And
again the fan base doesn't want to hear that, hey
one more year. But I don't know how you because
if you've brought up completely and maybe she will, I

(01:36:40):
don't know, but you're looking at two or three years,
four years to get it right, and then it's going
to depend on getting a quarterback when you have no
draft capital to get a quarterback for two years. So
it's I don't think they went all in this year
or bust with the moves they may because these were

(01:37:01):
you know, three and four year contracts with with the
free agents and all this and with soft Gardner. Now
Daniel Jones is a different is a different matter. So
it with all the moves they've made, the option that
makes the most sense is you bring guys back. But again,

(01:37:23):
if we've got I repeat myself, if you blow it up,
I don't know how you rebuild immediately, and how you
bring out a GM. How you bringing a head coach
and you'll find guys because there's only thirty two of
these jobs in the league, and you'll find guys. The
boy you keep bringing a GM and say, oh, here's

(01:37:44):
your roster. You have some good players. Oh, by the way,
they're all free agents at the end of twenty six.
And by the way, you haven't got a quarterbacks, a
viable starting quarterback. With Jones and the Achilles and the
head coach, you're doing the same song and dance and selling.
So I don't know it's gonna be. I would I

(01:38:05):
would love to spend two days and I just sit
in Carly's office. I wouldn't say anything, and I just
want to listen to her how how she rationalizes on
what to do, because I don't know what's the best
to do, but my gut tells me the best thing
to do is you're bringing these guys back and say, okay,
here you go, and it would almost be a playoff

(01:38:27):
or bus not that boy, we were right there and
this game didn't No, no, it's it's it's you were
seven and one. Finish it and then we'll talk about extensions.
So I you know, twenty twenty six is gonna be
the off season is gonna be fascinating, and I hope
and I think we will know soon once the season

(01:38:50):
ends what she's gonna do. And again, optics matter. There's
a chance they're.

Speaker 6 (01:38:57):
Gonna lose out.

Speaker 8 (01:38:59):
There's a chance they lose their last seven.

Speaker 6 (01:39:02):
And I cannot keep this group around. Certainly.

Speaker 8 (01:39:05):
I had to chick three times. That's happened twice in
franchise history, and one was in twenty twenty two, which
was and the other was in nineteen fifty three, their
first year in the league. So it yeah, every yargue
what you make that I understand, and I'd say, then
good luck rebuilding this starting next year because you've got

(01:39:28):
no capital, draft or money to do it.

Speaker 1 (01:39:33):
I would I will say this, if you're going to
be blanked, you might as well be blanked under a
new regime.

Speaker 8 (01:39:39):
Well, and that's I understand it.

Speaker 1 (01:39:41):
And I.

Speaker 8 (01:39:43):
Can't argue the point other than i'd pointing out that, well,
you've got no draft picks and you've got players on
inspiring contracts. It's not again the moves they made this year.
You know, it's kind of crazy that Chris Ballard finally
made the moves that a lot of people have been saying,
be more active, and you know, a trade at the
trade deadline and you got a quarterback that the Shane

(01:40:07):
Styken really really liked and was playing well, and it
all blew up on you. The only one that didn't
blow up on you was cam Binham, who's been darn good.
So I don't know, they're at a crossroads and I
don't know which way you go.

Speaker 1 (01:40:23):
You know what's interesting about this, Mike Chapel joins us
On and Andy Morrill at a mount of fruit potline
is you can honestly say, and I would hope so
given it's been nine years that they've exhausted all avenues
and Mike, nothing worked, Nothing works, So you know, just saying, well,
we've got nowhere else to go, Like you're Richard gear

(01:40:46):
and an officer and a gentleman just doesn't fly here.
I mean you have to try to, well, at some point,
you got to try to take a step forward from
what clearly has not ever worked.

Speaker 8 (01:40:58):
And is it gonna Well, it's it would be taking
a step forward by taking like two steps back, and.

Speaker 6 (01:41:05):
You're taking two steps back anyway too, So well.

Speaker 8 (01:41:09):
Yeahless unless next year Jones stays healthy and yeah, all
that stuff, which that that's where it's.

Speaker 6 (01:41:18):
He's going to be back regardless.

Speaker 1 (01:41:20):
I mean, do you think another coach could do with
him what Stichen did with him this year?

Speaker 8 (01:41:24):
No? No, No, That's why I think if you, if you,
if you get rid of the coach in the gym Jones,
I don't know why, why why would Jones come back?

Speaker 6 (01:41:33):
There's no other options? I guess right, well, you.

Speaker 8 (01:41:36):
Know, there's always options if you're a quarterback that's proven,
and I think Jones proved this year that yeah, right, situation.

Speaker 6 (01:41:42):
I just think he's so compromised that where else you
gonna go? Hey, sign here?

Speaker 8 (01:41:47):
They think he's going to be ready in junior July
and and looked around the league. Somebody started a quarterback
that I've never heard was in Kansas City. I'd never
heard of it, and I like to think that I'm
schooled on the league, but it's I don't know. It's
it's like it's gonna be fascinating. I don't see how

(01:42:09):
they win Jacksonville. It's certainly not Houston. Uh So it's
and the objects of a seven game losing streak are awful.
Although again you can sit there and you can't use
injuries as an excuse, but it's a reason. And you
can argue whether there's a difference between those two words

(01:42:30):
or not. But I'm telling you, in my heart, I
know that Jones doesn't get hurt. We're not having this discussion.
We're not and mate, And maybe if Anthony Richardson doesn't,
you know, have his freak accident, we're not having this
discussion because he would have been good enough as a
backup to win a couple of games. So it's just

(01:42:54):
everything has gone wrong after the eight and two and
I don't I really I might know how Jim rth
they might do it. I don't know, but I have
no clue what Carly and this will be her first
really major, major decision, and the onild thing on the
line is the direction of her of her franchise.

Speaker 1 (01:43:16):
And we can also argue if we would have seen
it be wiped back in January, we also wouldn't you know,
be having this argument right now too, So yeah, it
does work. Somebody brought up a good question and I
wanted to ask you this advice wise or consultation, where
would Carly go for that? Because obviously she probably is

(01:43:41):
leaning on some advice and advisement.

Speaker 6 (01:43:43):
Where does she go the usual suspects.

Speaker 8 (01:43:46):
Well, the usual suspects with Jimmy were probably napoleons and
the dungees and all that. I would assume that's still
some of who she leans on. That's a really good
point is because as smart as she is, I think
she's really smart, she realizes that maybe she's not the

(01:44:08):
smartest person in the room, because I don't want to
be around that person who's the smartest in the room
because generally they're not. So you've got to have people
you lean on, and through her years of being so involved,
there's no doubt in my mind that she's got a
handful of people that she trusts and she'll she'll listen

(01:44:31):
to and say what if and this, that and the
other show she'll play it out. I don't know who
that might be, but there's no doubt that she's got
those people, and I don't I don't want to dismiss
Taylor and Casey either, but you know, it's very clear
that Carly's is running the football portion of this with
a with a with an iron fist. I guess that's

(01:44:53):
that's kind of hyperbole but but yeah, that's a really
interesting point because don't think that you can do this
on your own, because you can't, and you know you're
no one's that smart to do what We've seen guys
try it. It doesn't work. So that's a really good point.
And I don't know it's top boy who that might be,
unless it's again people that her dad tested.

Speaker 1 (01:45:17):
Yeah, I was just kind of curious the direction they go,
but as far as advice would be concerned, but I
don't know. Yeah, we got a couple more weeks and
then in an early off season to start this chatter
once again, even with a sliver of playoffs.

Speaker 8 (01:45:35):
It's like it's like one percent. Yeah, they went out
and Houston loses out, and you're you're the wild card
because of the fifth tiebreaker. I think it is with
with with the strength of victory or something like that,
common opponents or whatever, which we went through all that

(01:45:55):
stuff in the nineties before Peyton got here. Where you know,
if if these thirteen things happening, we got a chance
to get in, that's where you don't want to be.
And there was Steven Holder retweeted some of the from
Est research where it showed, you know, a time lapse
of the cult of playoff odds from week ten to

(01:46:16):
week twelve. It's you know, ninety eight remember of ninety
eight percent when you're seven and one or eight and two,
and now it's it's a sliver. So it's just it's
it's it's the way it is. And maybe, like you said,
it's it's, hey, this has to work. What makes it?
You know, it's the definition of insanity. Keep doing something

(01:46:40):
expecting a different outcome.

Speaker 6 (01:46:42):
But it's kind of like a radio signal, right now,
I think.

Speaker 8 (01:46:48):
I know, I don't know. Sometimes you feel like you
got a good, good grasp on what they might do.
In this case, I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:46:57):
Hey, happy holidays, Merry Christmas to you guys, and we'll
see you coming up on Sunday and catch back up
next week. Maybe a little bit more clarity, but I
doubt it. Mike, Happy holidays, you guys, Happy holidays. Thank
you very much.

Speaker 13 (01:47:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:47:10):
I mean the Colts in this whole nine year period
has been much like what you guys are trying to
listen through right now. And I cannot thank you enough.
You guys think it bugs me when you tell me
all about it, It does not. I want to know,
because you guys are working ass off to try to
listen to the station and we I say, we truly.

Speaker 6 (01:47:29):
Appreciate the effort. Thank you all.

Speaker 1 (01:47:33):
Jake Querry joins us now in the Andy More Automotive
Group Hootline. He's going to have some Mick Ultras and
shoot some hoop, which I think is ideal at the
al Emporium, Jake.

Speaker 2 (01:47:42):
John, listen, listen, John, you're talking the holidays.

Speaker 12 (01:47:45):
What's better than Micultra, right, Mickultra goes perfectly with anything.
It goes perfectly with the Hermanaki wings here at Al Almporium,
Castleton will be here till seven o'clock. It is the
Mini Hoops Challenge presented by Mick Ultra and our friends
at Zeck distributing. You ask what that is, I will
tell you right now. You come to Aleenport right outside
the main entrance. Here we have the mini hoops set up.

(01:48:07):
You come up, you take some shots, you get the
high score. You're gonna get yourself a mic Ultra jersey.

whatever you would like. And we are registering somebody for
a trip to go see the Blue and Gold take

Are we on the ocean? That's what it sounds like here.

Speaker 12 (01:48:55):
We're just saying nothing better when you're sitting on the
ocean than a micultra.

Speaker 1 (01:48:59):
Right, So out to joy it at the ale I'm
going through puberty again.

Speaker 6 (01:49:03):
That's what I sound like.

Speaker 12 (01:49:04):
All right, that sounds like that sounds like you scanning
HBO looking for the situous nurse.

Speaker 2 (01:49:08):
That's what that sounds like.

Speaker 1 (01:49:09):
Oh man, don't get me all excited about that right now, Hey, Jake,

night tonight and you guys have a great holiday too.

think I can handle this. Ure o trash James? What
film that is?

Speaker 11 (01:50:54):
From the Christmas classic die Hard with Josh Hard? I
actually watched in theaters on thirty five millimeter film last night.

Speaker 6 (01:51:03):
With my family. What you did not? Where was this?

Speaker 11 (01:51:05):
This was in Franklin?

Speaker 1 (01:51:12):
So we are remembering because tomorrow will mark the anniversary
where we lost him. The deal Maker Harry Ellis ls
tomorrow back in nineteen eighty eight Christmas, In fact, Christmas Eve,

(01:51:34):
we lost Harry Ellis the deal Maker, Hans Booby, You're
my White Knight.

Speaker 11 (01:51:43):
I have to say watching that in a packed theater
because it's kind of like the Rocky Horror Picture Show
type stuff where everyone quotes the movie, the entire theater
quote of that line, it was, it was great.

Speaker 1 (01:51:53):
I've been attracted to a number of Hollywood ladies. Bonnie
Badelia back in the day was one that was well known.
To float my boat.

Speaker 11 (01:52:06):
Missus McLean or miss Gennaro. I guess I should say.

On to Motive Group Potline. Back to the Ale we
go for many hoops in Michelobaltra with Jake Querry of
Querry and Company.

Speaker 6 (01:52:26):
Hello, Jake John, I.

Speaker 2 (01:52:27):
Want to know this.

Speaker 12 (01:52:28):
I want to know in Green County, if they're showing
Die Hard on thirty five millimeters right now in the theater,
do they list that as a new release out there?

Speaker 2 (01:52:35):
Is that how that works?

Speaker 6 (01:52:36):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (01:52:36):
If they're showing something on thirty five millimeter, they're probably
in trouble.

Speaker 12 (01:52:44):
Well, listen, nobody's in trouble here, nobody, No, The only
people in trouble at the al are those that are
not getting mick Ultra because mick Ultra is the absolute
best zinc distributing is here with us.

Speaker 2 (01:52:53):
It is folks.

Speaker 12 (01:52:55):
You got to come out because it's a packed house here.
But so far we've only had a couple that have
braved the Mini Hoops Challenge. And what we're doing is
we are letting you take your shot at mini Hoops
for Micultra and it is your chance to win tickets
for two to see Indiana and the Milwaukee Bucks coming
up in Wisconsin in February. The finals of our Mini

(01:53:15):
Hoops Challenge and our tour of this is going to
be on January twenty third. But you come out John
right now until seven, Get a Micultra, do the Mini
Hoops Challenge, get the high score, win a mic Ultra jersey.

Speaker 2 (01:53:28):
But you can get a T shirt.

Speaker 12 (01:53:29):
Anyway, you can get a cooozie anyway, you can get
a mic Ultra anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:53:32):
But you come up here and do it. Get registered.

Speaker 12 (01:53:34):
We're gonna be here until seven o'clock at the ale
and get everybody kicked off for the holiday. Two step
the right way with our friends at Micultra. They just
brought another bucket out of Micultra. This literally Santa Claus
is good at the al Emporium. I'm telling you right now,
it is the way to do it. And as you know,
there is no better beer than mick Ultra to get

(01:53:54):
you set for the game tonight and then for the
holidays and the couple of days that we have upcoming.

Speaker 1 (01:53:59):
Jar he is live at the Ale for michelob Ultra
and our friend from Zinc many of who's challenge it
is Bill Clay aka Hans Gruber.

Speaker 6 (01:54:11):
Jay Query with us. Thank you, Don Scruber.

Speaker 1 (01:54:15):
Baby all right, Jod, take it easy, Jake, have a
great night. I love the Ale. Hans Gruber, Bill Clay.
That's the one thing always got me in die Hard.
How in the world, because he was so savvy as
a cop, how did John McLain not recognize that the
guy he was talking to up there was not Bill Clay,

(01:54:36):
He was, in fact Hans Gruber.

Speaker 6 (01:54:39):
Did he know? I think he started to know.

Speaker 11 (01:54:41):
I think he knew because he gives him the gun
but with no bullets in it, so I think.

Speaker 1 (01:54:44):
He wasn't going to give anybody a loaded one anyway,
I thank you.

Speaker 11 (01:54:47):
I think he knew, but he was just testing him now.
I mean the big giveaway I think is the hilarious
American accent that I think late great Alan Rickman tries
to put on.

Speaker 4 (01:54:58):
For that moment. So he was so great, it's a
he is a great.

Speaker 1 (01:55:01):
That was his first film, too, right.

Speaker 11 (01:55:03):
I believe so. Yes, No, that accent is funny.

Speaker 1 (01:55:06):
Rip Hans Booby, all right, quick break, we'll come back.
I'm gonna try to get to you guys. Happy Holidays
to everybody. Once again, we want to thank you for
hanging with us through all the technicalities of this transition.

I was curious, social media said today, Yes, I've looked
at up if Philip Rivers would be a great coach,
and I think he really would.

Speaker 7 (01:58:14):
He's got the intensity.

Speaker 8 (01:58:16):
He's not afraid to say what's.

Speaker 10 (01:58:18):
On his mind.

Speaker 8 (01:58:19):
He'd be a much better interview than Shane Steiger.

Speaker 6 (01:58:22):
Well, he is a high school coach, has no doubt.

Speaker 1 (01:58:25):
Hey, Jay, Happy holidays and happy Festivus for the rest
