Indiana Basketball has a chance to get to 3-0 in the Big 10.

You back our holiday resit over over get back at it all right you just talked to stti and let’s just get right into this because this is Colts Colts and more Colts man uh what do you think today what’s going on there you know what all year long they’ve been really consistent

They’ve been like flatlined we’ve got to prepare we’ve got to do the and there’s been the same energy in the building every single week it’s been Relentless but this week little bit little bit of a tick up little bit of urgency with we talked to styken talked to muu talked to

Jonathan Taylor and with all of them like there there’s more energy from those guys it’s really interesting you plan to go to the playoffs yeah let’s go I mean damn yeah hey I want to throw this by you and I Bill Walton did I

Saved it for the air I said on my show this morning that you can make the case I know there’s other guys and maybe I would just make John Harbaugh the coach of the year because they’re having a fantastic year all right but I’m saying

Stien you got to think about it and let me give you my thought real quick mhm he takes over a mess yeah and look the Jeff Saturday thing was a mess and the team quit oh whatever you want to say doesn’t even matter and now they lose their

Quarterback the guy that they’re hanging their hat on who didn’t even make it even when he was here he didn’t make it through any games he couldn’t get through a freaking game right and they’re sitting here with a chance to go to the playoffs yeah I’m sure there’s

Others but damn you got to talk about him for coach of the year I think so I think that this game isn’t just for maybe the AFC South certainly a playoff spot but I think it’s for the coach of the year okay I think whoever is the

Coach of the winning team Saturday night wins that sten’s been terrific and and really I I was thinking about it really it’s a hard POS not only is he taking over a dumpster fire but he’s a firsttime guy you don’t know there no track record with this guy being a head

Coach at any level and ERS and Ballard said okay this is our guy and I I don’t know whether it’s you know what a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while or what but this guy has been really really good I go back to what you said going

Way back seems like a serious guy yeah an organized guy and you know what he showed it whether you I’ll go back to what you said you said practices were run more efficiently practices were run better and this is even before it started coming out that you know he’s

Making guys be on time and holding guys accountable the accountability thing to me I don’t give a damn if on Christmas night or whatever uh Shaq Leonard had seven tackles Shaq Leonard can’t play right and you don’t hold and keep guys around that cannot play Under stti and

And I feel like you did even with when Pagano would fight grigson over it and I think certainly thought you did with Reich and it shows me that stien has control of the thing and that’s what you want suspended Isaiah McKenzie anybody nobody knows nobody so and he won’t tell that’s a

Thing that I like about styen too is he’s not leaking [ __ ] through and nobody else is Sher and right nobody else is buttoned up tight Yep this was always [ __ ] around here with the leaks through Sher yep always crap and they’re not and that’s that’s why I’m all I am

All on board with this totally on board with it cuz they’re not doing that [ __ ] of well you know Adam schfer and we’re trying to cover our own ass but I will say this did you see Isaiah McKenzie what he did no he said the rumor that I killed a bald eagle is

False yeah had you heard that rumor I had heard the rumor but I thought it was it’s a federal crime it’s not a violation of Team policy you know conduct detrimental to to the team is killing a bird even a beautiful bird a majestic bir yeah you can’t do that that’s a

Federal crime that’s law enforcement the DNR people can’t even kill a hawk a menacing Hawk come on who had his own Twitter Handle by the way but no I saw I saw that I go wow you know um all these what I like about you is you don’t call you an Insider you’re

Just smart guy all these inside aren’t insiders like at the star or holder aren’t they supposed to have the inside scoop nobody’s got no scoop unless yeah there’s there’s to go get I love that yeah they don’t they don’t talk and they’re really good about that so that

Is so different am I right about this that’s so unols like over the last five years Bard’s never been a big talker but things have leaked out and there I don’t believe that there have been any consequences you get the feeling right now that if things leak out stien’s

Going to want answers and it’s going to be somebody’s ass that culture has turned into one of accountability it was you know go along to get along with Reich now you step out of line whack and that’s the way it should be in leadership that’s leadership leadership isn’t just talking that’s leadership and

You know this that leadership and accountability it’s not just the growth of the person who’s held accountable it’s the rest of the lock room who are held accountable behave correctly and if you allow like Knuckleheads to have their way then these guys are like well

Why am I busting my ass doing the right thing you got a real problem with compliance at that point that’s why I’ve never and I know I’m wrong about this but I don’t know where somebody should could tell me I’ve never bought into the diva wide receiver I’ve always thought that the

Diva wide receiver I don’t know that they’ve ever won I I I don’t has a diva wide receiver I know Moss went to New England and lost or maybe they won one and lost when they were undefeated when they lost became a non yes that’s what

I’m saying you know AJ Brown they didn’t win I don’t know if he’s a div or not but he was the other day day but all these guys Chad ooo Terell Owens they they don’t win and and it’s it’s exactly your point because it cuts at the core

Of the guys that are all in to the team Y and that’s why I wonder what’s going on with uh I wonder what’s going on with the Eagles and I wonder what’s going on with the Chiefs because you got two guys there and I know they’re great guys the

Kelsey man are they getting a lot of interest man they’re every they’re not just having commercials they’re freaking everywhere they Brands yes big time yeah and I got to tell you I’m betting some of those guys are like wait a second here this is [ __ ] here I’ll tell you

I I think and I’m just supposing Matt Patricia being the guy who’s calling the defense I don’t like it I think that he sucks just like they’re saying about Josh McDaniels when he was with the Raiders sucked the life out of the room all the joy went from

The building I don’t think there’s the same Joy with the Eagles now now with Patricia kind of in a place of importance I think I I think Nick serani made a mistake and put the wrong cat in charge of that end of the game interesting all right I got to go

Speaking of defensive coordinators I read our thumbnail we’re not happy with Gus Bradley or are we happy with well there are people look you know if you want to start a a dust storm and get a lot of comments you talk about Gus Bradley that he is a very polarizing guy

People even thrilled with nine and seven we got a shot at the playoffs we got a backup quarterback Jonathan Taylor didn’t play for a long time Gus Bradley’s got to be fired you get that what’s our problem with Gus sit back bend don’t break yeah it’s that and it’s

Not a matter like people say we got a blitz more it’s not the aggression of the blitz that’s needed what’s needed is the aggression in coverage if you just sit back and you let a guy like CJ Str play catch oh you’re better almost beat us yes you better

Score 30 y yeah a no Connell looked pretty good but we’ve seen that forever so I do like what the what’s going on at times with the pass rush y I think that the human hurricane or whatever they call them Dio he looks pretty good to me yeah yeah Buckner’s Buckner taquon Lewis

Is playing his ass off he’s playing his and I’m happy for him because he’s overcome so much just great dude great dude to talk to one of my like I used to love to talk to Frank Gore because he just exuded like love of football he was

Awesome to talk to whether you were recording something or not I never go up to guys lockers and just like hey how you you know I like that guy but with Frank Gore I would because he made me feel good he enjoyed his work so much he

Made me want to enjoy my work more interesting and taekwan is a little bit like that I like stopping by saying hello with tawon hi taekwon how’s your day yeah oh good you know like they don’t they don’t know what to do when people are friendly you know come up with a

Microphone they know what’s expected come up Shi goes up yeah yeah but I’m not mad like I get it we’re we’re we’re I feel like this though I feel like in my entire life since a ‘ 08 being around the CTS I feel like whether it’s

Monino Larry uh the guy other guy that just died lar CER this guy even going back to dunie I feel like it’s almost the Colts M Mo yeah to be Tampa to Eber flu I mean I I don’t know I totally forgot about Ted monino that’s a great

You know I pulled that one he just got hired by somebody in college as like a special advisor or something like that I’m like oh I remember monino I remember that guy and but it seems like that’s all the cult have always been yeah they’ve never been that aggressor no and

I don’t think you can win without being aggressive if you’re not aggressive defensively I think you’re wasting your time and and to watch them even in a winning effort against the Raiders just sit back and allow o oconnell to work the middle of the field Devonte Adams he

I don’t know that he’s ever had a day like that and he’s had a lot of days I mean you know 13 Cat 133 he’s usually bitching with the Raiders with the Raiders he wasn’t bitching when he was with uh Rogers but he’s usually the guy

Like hey I get the [ __ ] out of here 13 catches for two touchdowns that to me that’s like a three-point shooter once they hit their fourth you got to throw them into the stand something I’ll never understand football I I I got an argument with Urban Meyer over this I’m

Like I don’t understand you guys you rush four you got seven backed you rush five you got six back you got basically three guys going out for a pass you can’t guard three with six like you can’t I mean I probably talked about on this show a million times but

It’s not only that you can’t guard three with six it’s that they always I mean always leave the best guy wide open yeah like how does that I mean like like okay like you know and there’s no one near him like he catches the ballet yeah it’s

Ridiculous Ken it it’s like all right well Steve Alford or who whoever whoever is a great Steph Curry is making shots well you just keep guarding him no no guard him with every freaking money look at John C van djk $10 thank you thank you thank you all right there you go now

He had a good day he had a good day against us no no no no no you know he had a good first half and then the second half you do something different hey second half he had to make great plays yeah like he made two great

Catches over the top of double coverage and hey look you know I tell you where you saw that a little last night I don’t know how much you watched but you saw it a little last night hey five sacks in the first half mil R for Alabama Savin

Wasn’t having that [ __ ] in the second half right Savin was like Hey nuh-uh now you didn’t get to win but you saw an adjustment from a coach there was that not like I I watched that game and at the end I thought if I’m Alabama I got to think about doing something different

Because that the way he’s always won is by taking care of the details and there were a lot of details not taken care of last night they can’t make Center quarterback exchange that that’s not Nick Sabin but I think it is what is he 72 yeah I think at some point you’re

Like what am I doing I got all the money in the world I want to win but am I driven enough to do the things necessary to win at that level maybe not anymore really he just got to the final four yeah bob Knight coached for like 30

Years greatest coach ever got the five final for they even I’ll give you I’ll give you a number three years yeah he’s gone three years without winning a championship it’s the longest in his 10 year at Alabama Gotta Go Gotta Go Gotta Go if he can’t beat Harbaugh one of my

Last SES is be careful what you wish for people yeah right I mean that’s man that’s that’s strong but I hire Tom Allen well P state did I saw Paulie balls and Larry were sending you Texas is this possible they got Mr Happy Hey kid kid jeez there he

Goes we got to have you do that once a show cuz I’ll fall if I trip like that I’m I’m a header into the into the stairs over that could have been all kinds of bad for all of us hey Kent Indiana’s got kayn dbor who all you got

To do is look at no that dude’s a stud coach yeah right did you know him no I didn’t know him and and Michael penics on campus yeah I don’t blame either of them you got to do what you got to do in Indiana signed Tom Allen it it reminded

Me of when the Colts had Pagano sick and Bruce arens took the team over and everybody in the building knew Bruce arens is the guy yeah and but what are you going to do you can’t fire the cancer guy no Tom Allen didn’t have cancer but but tat tatel there is no

Chance have you ever met Tom Allen talk to him on on the phone and talk to him no chance that if you met him it would take you 3 seconds it took me about 12 seconds to know that he’s a fraud not a fraud but not you know he’s not trying

To portray himself as something he’s not no he’s just ill equipped for that position like there’s no way you meet him and say Ah that’s a leader I’m going to run through a wall I said that earlier today I I never met kayin deor I’ve seen him speak one time and it was

After the game yesterday and all I did was look at him on the sideline I text her and I said this dude’s real huh he goes oh yeah he goes this dude is real he’s he’s real he’s no joke and he’s old you know you think about the world of

Football he runs the clock down yeah even though he’s got a big time offense he he the [ __ ] that they do the misdirection if it works they stay with it it ain’t that freaking hard y I mean they how many times did they throw hike

Will pass right there to guy on the left side and then he ran for eight yards or whatever y honest to God I’m watching this guy thinking no wonder he wins yep Jesus it’s not it’s not complicated not when you got well I tell you this Michael pennx pennix is he’s

Pretty good I always thought because tell me what you think when he was in Indiana it wasn’t fair to him he was so skinny yeah and he likes to run and we saw he he was so skinny that it was almost like he’s going to break in half skinny

And he was a guy when you talk to him you thought this guy’s got to grow up like his first two years like this this this guy’s got a ways to go he doesn’t know who he is but he’s figured it out and it it’s really there are guys Trace

Jackson Davis was another one they need and Michael’s been in college for six years but it takes a while you’re you’re not going to get a freshman who’s a grown ass man all the time they season over time and I think Michael pennick really has I do too I I I was listening

To him talk and I thought man this dude I would I would follow this dude as a college kid he’s kind of and he should be I always say Randy Whitman would use him as an example when I got to Indiana he was kind of above us yeah you know I

Mean he was you know and so I I always felt like that’s who you want to be around and that’s what I see just in hearing him talk Michael penck it’s just too too bad it’s it’s too bad that tra that being the starting quarterback at a

Big 10 school didn’t mean anything in this day and age not Pen’s fault not at all right but usually if you’re going to be a in our day or even going back to early this Century if you were starting at a big 10 school that’s what you

Wanted you stayed at that big 10 School you set some records you know guys from Indiana went to the NFL draft all that kind of stuff but it’s just there’s no way you’re keeping him from Washington with all the money Washington throw at you right but you you do have to know

Why he left was it money was it opportunity was it toore what was it I would need to if I were Scott dolon and this were two years ago I want answers about why we just lost our best employee you know what I mean to put it put it in

Like business terms you lose a salesperson who prints money for you you want to know why he’s jumping across the street yeah I would want to know that from well well he left right at the start of all the transferring right now it’s just out of hand now it’s now it’s

Ridiculous right but he left kind of right at the beginning of it all right was it like pton Ramsay’s our guy you know what I mean like was it Tom Allen choosing pton Ramsey over Michael penx I may get I may be getting the timeline a

Little bit screwy but is is that the kind of thing that was going hey Michael want to let you know you’re not our guy for next year we’re rolling with this guy were they that you know just obtuse about Talent or what I don’t know I

Don’t either but damn you look at those two guys and you’re like man that that could have made a difference in Indiana little bit yeah yeah just a little I mean you know I don’t know just do you know it’s been since 1991 Trent green was the quarterback for

The hooers last time they won a bowl yeah Trent green he’s 53 I didn’t know that yeah I would argue Trent Green’s America’s most handsome IU athlete uh I would argue that overall for I I mean president company excluded why who we like well you oh God

No I saw a picture of me the other day I didn’t like anything I saw that no it’s like Jerry talking on Leo yeah you’re an Adon yeah oh you’re hideous love you you should cling to them like Grim death yes like Grim death all right so does Indiana

Win I mean I’m sorry does the Colts win I got a bad feeling about this game I’ll tell you the truth I want them to win I hope that they win I think they’re going to figure out a way to make it competitive throughout sten’s just that

Good but um you know what that defense is serious you’ve got to stop Collins if you think that Devonte Adams was a big pain in the ass with the Raiders to your secondary Collins Nico Collins oh yeah I know but 70 catches like 1100 plus yards

He gets into the end zone the running game I’m not worried about single ter isn’t that good but I want to see here’s what I’m I’m why am I going Titans I don’t care about the Titans I want to see what cuz I didn’t look this up this is bad me

But what did stoud do this week I know they beat the Titans I know they beat the hell out of the Titans I I get all that but did he play is he back to where he’s as dangerous as he was earlier that’s my question well here’s the thing

With him that’s really important is that the last interception he threw was November 19th no he doesn’t give it he don’t give it away he does not he’s thrown five total three were in one game he and they do not turn it over they’ turned it over 14 times

Not a heavily penalized team they will not lose that game unless you do something to confuse them and Gus Bradley is loathed to do that so I think that and this to me is a real referendum for Gus like they better win this game if they don’t win this game Gus

Bradley’s out of here well if they wi lose 10 to seven yeah that would be that’ be odd I know but it is is this a referendum on the whole season no I don’t think so I think again to go to the playoffs people would be will still be happy with stien

They will not Bradley’s going to own this one people are going to point at Bradley people in the building and fans are going to point at Bradley and say it’s you well that’s a good place to be as the head coach yeah I mean I’m not saying you got an underling that’s going

To take your heat gez I mean I mean let’s go yeah I I I don’t know that it is or I don’t know that it isn’t a failure of a season if they lose this game and I’m going to tell you why this would be the third game and I go back to

Cincinnati and then who’ they get beat last week the Deb uh yeah Atlanta they got killed and now here we go again you’re in a position that you weren’t last year two years ago you were to get in the playoffs at home I mean I know that you’re look I

Know you’re playing against a team that is really improved much like the Colts really good young coach but you’re at home you’re not playing the Patriots of Tom Brady you’re playing a rookie quarterback to go to the playoffs you got to win this freaking game I don’t care if don’t tell

Me it’s a rebuild because you don’t know what’s happening next year no you don’t you don’t the future is now don’t tell me about 2024 I don’t want when we have who back I mean no uh-uh no no and and and and John M says yes the failure because the Colts missed the

Playoffs and did not end up with a top five selection oh my head hurts oh my head hurts Kent you know who’s got it figured out too Chicago Bears I’ll tell you why usually you are shitty yeah you win a game at the end of

The year your fan base is like oh crap that takes us out of contention for the first pick in the draft the Bears win and do it in somewhat deciding fashion last week but Carolina loses so the Bears have figured out even if we win we got the number one pick automatic cuz

Carolina’s so bad it was a good trade and then what are they going to do with the number one pick I don’t know they’re going to completely screw it up and make the wrong decision no matter what decision they make it’s going to be the wrong one because it’s the Bears and

That’s what they do but that goes to the point of this guy like look hey you didn’t make the playoffs and you didn’t get a top five pick look the Colts got a top five pick last year yeah and all we’ve done is watch him carry a

Clipboard and walk around in his sling so you know what could that do you I don’t know I I I’m I’m so not on board with the crap I didn’t see Sean’s question if you want to put it back Sean but I’m so not on board yeah there it is

One more down uh would you draft another quarterback in the next draft with Richardson being injury-prone I would have to love that guy I I’m just saying I would have to think we got you know we got Russell Wilson in the third round kind of guy that’s what the Bears would

Do that is don’t do what the Bears do sometimes success is determined by doing the opposite of idiots you don’t have to be the smartest guy in the room you just have to understand the stupid guy and not do what he does castanza opposite day I’ll have the chicken I will not

Have the tuna that’s right no that’s right you got to know who the idiot is and then do the opposite Bears that’s what a friend of mine gold standard among idiots in the NFL my buddy the sack attack in gambling tells me Dan you should fade every thought you have you should just

Go the opposite of every gambling th you have like this but this draft is going to be interesting because I don’t know I mean Caleb Williams is crying with his mom and wanting kittens and Michael penx is out there balling his ass off I don’t

Know man I I’ll say this about the Colts if I’m the Colts and I could get that wide receiver aune from Washington that’s I want that guy I want that and I’ll give Alec Pierce credit man when all he does is catch long touch St literally all he does I mean he can

Do you know not to go Insider but I was watching him at practice last week because I was watching Pitman and Reggie Wayne’s got them working around like pylons Alec Pierce can’t cut quickly really he reminded me this is very sad it’s sad in multiple Direction c s

Reminded me of Stephanie White mccardy playing basketball she played at one speed she like ran cut everything was at there was no change of speed ever now wasn’t she a great player not when she was with a fever oh like she can’t get open oh like the the defense would be

Able to explode and catch her after she made her cut easily so it’s like same speed Alec Pierce chops his feet and goes that way initially so slowly that it it’s so there’s a difference between him and Pitman you can see in that Dr and pitman’s not the quickest pman

Smooth about about wow you know pay any attention to him I feel like he’s quick but Pitman through his cut he explodes out of his cut he would be a [ __ ] to be able to stop he’d be a a pain in the ass to cover whereas Pierce of course you

Have him run in straight line cuz he can’t cut he can’t create separation see that’s The Insider [ __ ] that we love we love that is that is that’s the stuff I like that’s the stuff that I get excited about hearing you talk about I thought you were being a

Sarcastic care for Insider I like that stuff I don’t care about The Insider I do want to know why the guys got suspended though that’s the most I mean somebody said well gambling no if it was gambling they would talk about it they would make an examp and that would be an

NFL suspension right I I whatever what well I don’t know we do know that Tony Brown got busted for pot and for uh some other controlled substance and that was like July 6th a guy on social media sent me the police report and so that that

Couldn’t be it but maybe you give a guy one bite at that apple and then the next bite but doesn’t that come out as a drug policy thing if they fail a test but if the team catches a guy that’s different like when when uh okay I get it yeah I was on

The road with the Rams with her radio network in 12 jorris Jenkins and Isaiah ped got caught getting stoned in their room with another guy a third guy who was down the roster that guy got fired immediately I don’t even think he came back on the team playing the other guys

Got a one game suspension joris Jenkins what was P yeah yeah he was he he was Controlled Substances uh about what about our hooers where we at and our boilers I I I can’t I don’t know what to expect from Indiana because I I have no idea what

I’ve seen does that make any sense no I don’t know whether you can like where can you can you expect something out of him like some games he plays well some games he’s not effective at all some games he sits uh Renu going four for

Four from Beyond The Arc went from a guy who looked like he was really uncomfortable shooting to like catching and that’s a difference man it was weird that’s a big SC I do that go from being like jittery shooter to being like well I have but not big guys yeah not big

Guys and he’s always played I feel like he’s he’s played like a big guy I feel like he’s you know um I I like Wayman Tisdale around the basket way he’s comfortable down on the block with a little left hand yeah in him go out and shoot it’s like okay now

That is a sign of what I’ve been bitching about Player Development that there’s some Player Development there there’s some guy that now I’m guessing Kent law of averages say he’s got about an 0 for 20 coming do you know what I mean I mean there are some guys I wonder

If he’s this guy there was a kid Greg stempin ended up playing in the NBA he played at to Le was a really good player and I remember telling my team all right let him shoot let him shoot a three early just we’re going to we’re he’s going to think

We’re backing off and we are and hope he makes he’s a big strong kid athletic as hell tough made it you know what he did he must shot eight threes in the game where he could have filed our whole team off you know what I mean and we ended up

Beating him and it’s like coach how’d you know that I go well we Scout I mean they’re paying me money to figure this [ __ ] out it’s like I’m not you right like you’re a wizard Co yeah you’re really smart go well you know i’ Che tobacco and watch film what do you

Want me to do I fig one but I wonder I hope he doesn’t become that yeah is that right you know what I mean I I hope he becomes you got to stay with what you do well right in in in in maybe not against kenesa or whatever but

You do when you’re going to go on the road and play Purdue you do when even Nebraska yeah Nebraska Beach if you don’t show are there any good I I don’t know anything about them they got that little Asian kid who’s tough and they got some athletes in the front court and

I watched them a few times and I thought all right this is prob I hate to say say it’s it’s his best team because the teams haven’t been very good right hyberg and he’s had some athletes but I would say it it’ll be a tough game you

Know I mean Indiana’s going to have to play well and somebody’s going to have to it’s their place and it placees the best fans in America I mean they show they don’t give a [ __ ] man they that’s all they got youve been there no no never it may be the best setup for

College basketball other than rup Arena having the hotel we stay at the hotel that’s the greatest thing ever that’s like you know I mean valet park it just go down put we we stayed there and Lee’s like wow this is unbel and then we had a great time but Nebraska Lexington you

Can have fun in Lexington you can have fun in that bar after it the game people are great but there they have the hay Mark I think it’s a Hay Market District great restaurants literally in a plaza right across it would be like shoot not even as far as where the convenient mart

Is uh uh to Assembly Hall oh really oh I mean because the parking lot wouldn’t be that big it’s it’s the best and the fans are nuts it’ll be a tough game for Indiana they’re more way more talented but somebody’s going to have to play

Well on the road and we’ll see what are you going to watch are you going to watch IU Ohio State 8:00 Saturday night I think it’s 8:00 or Colts and can I Texans can I tell you what I’m doing you’re not doing either I’ll bet you no

Fans this question I’ll ask you I don’t know where you’ve sat in Assembly Hall I’ve never sat in a game at Assembly Hall but very good friends of ours are Kansas grads yeah and they bought tickets and they sat underne on the main level or whatever underneath the balcony

Like like about four rows from the top and they’re like this is a horeshit seat this a worst and I tried to tell him I go look first two rows in the balcony are awesome yeah like my brother would be be like hey can you get me tickets in

The first two rows because you same thing as you’re talking about you get to see everything develop and and you can see actually all four corners of the Court Assembly Hall has got terrible seats right the worst I love it but gritty sold their IU basketball tickets

To be able to watch the Colts there you go it’s where did they shoot practice from we used to shoot it there actually above the balcony okay there’s a media you know like a control center up there okay yeah that that made it e like watching the practice film you could see

Everything watching the practice film or the game film from that angle and then watching the TV copy I swear to you it was two different games yeah it did not even look like the same game well back in the day you had the really low angle in Assembly Hall which did make it

Really tough yes and it was funish to watch on TV but uh how about this I’ll give you one prod do is on peacock yeah son of a like Marilyn I think it’s tonight Marilyn Purdue is tonight on peacock yeah honest to God like I I I

For free I I don’t know whether that’s is that a federal crime I can’t be suspended for conduct detrimental to this show because I’m no you run the show I’m pirating peacock right no uh I wouldn’t recommend it certainly not talking about it but hey we we we we’re

We’re in open books here that’s what we do there is a weekly game on peacock and Indiana plays several they do I think Indiana produced is [ __ ] May although we’re all done with the big 10 plus nonsense that I’ve like I won’t do it that’s 20 bucks a month a month I just

Renewed it I didn’t even know for $54 it said I’m done I I in fact I’m glad that uh I’m glad that I was reminded because I’m getting that done today here’s a tip there’s a tip for you tip for all of you when you sign up when you subscribe to

Anything like that if immediately unsubscribe at the end of that term and if you feel like you need to renew go ahead and renew that’s fine but don’t let the auto renewal hit you for $54 yeah that’s ending today that is that is absolutely ending um on the show

Sean ask this question it’s an interesting question I think Joe flacko is the greatest story in the NFL awesome and he has recessive itated that franchise like he’s put his mouth on a dead franchise and blow in and revived do you do you I’m going with siken as

Coach of the year but Kevin stefansky to Sean’s Point man you think about taking a 38 or 39y old putting him in there off the couch and I know where else look dear Hamlin I get it okay it’s great the fact that he’s walking is a miracle but

He ain’t I mean if a football comeback player of the year I don’t know how much money is he costing potential quarterbacks elsewhere I’m saying Joe Flaco’s comeback Player of the Year oh absolutely and why would I pay somebody 300 million right deshun Watson 230 or

Whatever it was for what like this guy off his couch is like money for 380 yards a week oh he throws some picks he’ll throw the ball to the other team I know and that makes it actually more fun yeah but he is he he I’ve never I said

This earlier I’ve never even when I lived in Bowling Green Ohio and we didn’t have you know I don’t even know if there was the Sunday Ticket all that we got the Lions as our NFC team and the Browns as our AFC team that was our Sunday right I didn’t care ever about

Watching the Browns I didn’t care when Ernest bider and Brian Cy or whoever these guys are but now it’s like hey I want to see what Flaco did this week and fun to watch a guy who had it kind of built his career and then realized that

He wasn’t really having a great time doing it because he was all kind of in his head trying to build his career worrying about where tomorrow was going to come from all of a sudden he just playing and having fun going out and balling and it just comes easy to him

You know I I think it’s awesome and and I’m with you I’m with you Sean stefansky probably will be coach of the year I I don’t know but that thing I felt like when I was watching was that guy name DTR Dorian Thompson Robinson or Robinson

I felt like I didn’t like him when he was at us UCLA because he kept losing me money on those late night fox or college football games because he stump and the I thought it was dead the franch and all of a sudden Here Comes Flaco and I don’t

Know that anybody wants to play a guy that’s thrown for 400 yards or 350 yards a game and doing it with confidence and you got 31 other GM saying oh what how’ we miss this what’s the matter with us I would say this I think that the Colts

Wouldn’t be in that list Colts got their backup and he’s probably the right guy but they could have signed him instead of it could have signed him in Cut ell like they could have had flacko be I I don’t know what flacko needed yeah maybe flacko needed the opportunity to play

Maybe they’ve got guys like Amari is Amari Cooper went for like 200 in the first half damn yeah that helps I mean seriously yeah I mean if I’m Flo that would be the first thing okay uh let me look over here you got Amari Cooper now

Alec Pierce Kent says he can’t cut so we’re not doing that [ __ ] you know what I mean it’s like I it’s a perfect marriage yeah and you got to give him all the credit in the world not only him but the GM and everybody else for figuring this that’s pretty good yep

That’s that’s earning your money it’ll be interesting to see if the Colts win the division I if they win this Saturday and Jacksonville loses Sunday they’ll host the Browns in that first round can you can you like just as a team like I know flacko and we’re talking about everybody’s talking about

But it wouldn’t be the worst thing to play against the team uhoh power outage uh oh that’s a Sterling House yeah we don’t worry about those things comes and goes uh it wouldn’t be like who you playing against well we got Mahomes in the first round well who you got well we

Got Josh Allen in the first round well you know who you got well we got Flaco oh sign me up yeah right except the reality might be different but especially against those Corners like Juju Brent is playing pretty well but Jaylen Jones seventh round rookie you got Nick cross who’s basically a rookie

You you got a linebacker really playing safety you got a mess in that secondary the Joe FL is going to kind of hay Brent is good yeah yeah Brent is you know what he does though he sticks his nose in right he like he wants to hit people I

Don’t like him hitting be don’t hit people go cover people do your just like Anthony Richardson don’t go crazy with rpos and run into that linebacker don’t do it I need Juju Bren to cover I don’t need Juju Brent to stop a running back what are you supposed to

Do what what Deion Sanders goodbye right you know it’s easy they they ain’t paying me to hit these big mother no Dr revas what did he do he didn’t spend his career stopping running backs I think Brent I went I wanted to talk to you about him I forgot

I I thought he the the what I watched I look I don’t watch every play on the 22 or whatever I I watch the game right and then try to maybe watch it another time fast but I thought he was terrific and you know what I thought about him yeah I

Just think I think he’s unafraid and maybe that that could be a bad thing he’s really aggressive he loves football that’s the one commonality that’s I think that that’s what Ballard looks for is behaviorally a love of football a guy who’s going to be you can’t all be first

In and last out but he wants that kind of guy who’s going to study tape guy who enjoys the meetings enjoys developing enjoys playing I think that those guys that entire room is filled with with guys like that yeah but then why do they keep [ __ ] up there’s been a lot of

Fuckups on the Colts this year there have been a lot whether it’s is a Rogers Jr whether it’s Stuart these two guys getting suspended I mean there’s been a bunch and you’ve had the two peeds aladine Muhammad before that Grover so that’s what I’m saying you got you got

So maybe there are two this is an interesting conversation there are two different personalities there’s a there’s a team personality where you’re what you’re talking about where you just love football and then there’s the survival personality that comes into play off the field and sometimes they

All you know the choir boy isn’t necess choir boy off the field is not necessarily the choir boy in terms of being coachable on the field right or in the I got coach Knight always used to say I coach why don’t you look I’ve told you this probably a million times he

Would talk to us and he would look over your head he never looked you in the eye unless he was dead pissed at you and when he was given a Scouting Report or something teaching and I go coach why didn’t you ever look Us in the eye he

Goes you know you’re the only guy that’s ever asked me that I go well probably everybody you know it’s like my 10th year being with him so you know I got I got comfortable he goes you know why because I’ve learned that the guy looking at you intently probably ain’t listening to you

And the guy that pisses you off and you think he’s half asleep probably is listen listen to you more intently and I won’t get fooled by nobody I won’t get fooled by them I’m going to get my message and then there their actions will dictate whether or not they were listening not my

Perception that’s really interesting yeah yeah it’s a it it i’ never thought of that i’ never thought of that but he’s like you know you get preconceived notions or you’re in the middle of a thought and you see some guy that you think isn’t paying attention and it

Takes you away from your thought or your your ability to teach and but but he’s goes I learned very early that that guy might be paying attention more than the guy that’s sitting there going you know and me being a dumbass I look for that like in timeouts or when coaches are

Talking and guys will they’re just staring at the floor there are very few guys these days who will make eye contact but it really doesn’t make any difference does it I mean eye contact we all is just theatrical yes yeah and sometimes the head on the floor is but

Sometimes a guy’s tired yeah or sometimes a guy is is listening but he’s also knows what he needs to do to get yeah it’s it’s fascinating like anyway but when I look at the Colts I see guys on the field that seem to really pay attention like off the field there has

Been too much stupid stuff but these guys seem to really pay attention and what I see this year that’s a little bit different from previous years is there’s some joy to these guys for each other yeah like Quinton was really enthusiastic on the field with Gardner menu uh this past weekend against the

Raiders it was really interesting to watch I don’t know what the cameras catch of all of this stuff cuz we’re watching but they see I saw it early in the season Ryan Kelly who’s usually pretty stoic on the field I mean he’s just he’s out there to snap the ball and

Hit people really happy for like Jonathan Taylor Zach Moss or somebody in a way that like caught me off guard people are really really happy for zier Franklin and EJ speed it’s it’s like they just they’re lifting each other which is weird for professional athletes because it doesn’t always happen good

Teams it does yeah right good teams man good you know young guys it’s been a while since we’ve had one I guess yeah I would say the last year was the opposite I’d say probably and this is what makes me all of a sudden think siken maybe has

Something here is that I felt like everybody went their own separate ways I felt like once it once it went South it wasn’t coming back right and you know but you know what that’s that’s Sports too you know hey uh I do want to get into the Pacers Pacers last night they

Beat the crap I don’t beat the crap they beat him pretty good the Bucks like is there ever a time where you say because the Pacers have gone through some [ __ ] right and they don’t guard right is there ever time with this particular Pacers team that you say oh man they’ve

Really turned the corner here this is a legitimate four in a row and and they beaten they beaten the Bucks three out or four times right yeah they just don’t want I if they got something to play for a little bit I think they’re really really fun to watch mathine last night

Like 25 and 13 where’ that where did the 13 come from they just car him right to him yeah they just came there’s there’s a bit of immaturity yeah he’s a really young guy no not him the whole team and and that’s that that’s good and bad there’s an

Immature enthusiasm but then sometimes they don’t show yeah and when they don’t show that’s when the other team scores 150 they’re all a little bit like Lance Stevenson yeah you know either they’re balling and having a great time or they’re completely checked out and they’re not in it did you did you have

Any problem with halberton kind of staring down Wally zerak I did too I love why not what who is Wally zerak to call a guy out and I liked what zerak did he apologized he reached out to halton’s Dad what do think of halton’s dad like I’m not a big guy over

Enthusiastic parent guy but I like somebody somebody called God bless a voice stop that for the love of God all right we’re back I don’t I’m not parent guy like I think John Moran’s dad has turned out to be a buffoon a clown oh yeah no question and and that’s the

Danger because I’ve said this forever dads Brothers media members are dying because the NBA has a coolness Factor about it with rappers and and and music industry and you know it’s almost like the club and you know all that that adult men are dying to be included in that and I think

In Moran’s case that was the dad it is the dad I think that’s a big problem and I hope halton’s dad doesn’t fall into that trap because right now I’d agree with our callers or our listeners he’s really enthusiastic about his son and it seems genuine right that’s what I would

Say you and you’ve known like Jared soler’s Dad yeah big Irv from up here on the northeast side those guys they didn’t bother you right you like those guys yeah those guys they’re they’re dads they’re they’re guys that love basketball and love seeing their son the

Problem is when you go from dad to friend oh that’s that’s a bad in life that’s yes yeah that’s just not you know on the court or around the you know if I hear that like oh my dad’s my best friend or a dad saying my son’s my best

Friend I got a problem yeah you got to and that you know you think about it the Temptation the money and maybe the dad single too it all it because because I’ll tell you this about John Morant I’ll never forget this first guy that I knew ever talking about John Mor was

Seth Greenberg and Seth said this is one of the great moms dads families Brothers unbelievable he said he’s just a poor judge of human being no this was what they were going back at muray and they went haywi yes and then all of a he’s

Like damn this is like way back this is when ESPN First sent a crew to to watch John Moran yeah and then and he was like that and then all of a sudden you get all this and the mom’s calling the kid to come over with the crew so they can

Bully some what lock what what’s the name of the shoe place foot Locker yeah yeah and the kidss beating up little it’s stupid and dads can never never you always got to be a dad everybody needs to be led I did that with my son last night when he was talking about the

Greatness of Harbaugh and how all of his haters aren’t doing as well as him and I said well I would argue that if you’re a hater and you’re living your life with integrity and doing your job with honor you’re having a better go of it than Harbaugh and you know anyway wait is

Andrew is not a win at all cost Andrew is he’s into Michigan now well he always was he always loved Mich he loved his experience in Michigan so he’s very happy for Michigan all right that’s fair enough that is once he explained that I’m like yeah okay but

Don’t sling a cheating clown as somebody doing great you know what I mean and he is he’s doing great Harbaugh has always been a cheating clown what in life in his profession I can’t take it I I just I there’s nobody I root for with more intensity nor uh loathing than Jim

Harbaugh root against I root against himim har I thought you were GNA say nobody ever you know for meaning the opponent so you were not happy when Nick sa decided to run up the middle on fourth in a lifetime no what’s he what’s he

Doing I get it I like that’s a flaw team that that quarterback’s got issues yeah but they they the ball get throw the ball accurately ball gets tipped and the kid still makes an unbelievable you got to give I tell you what I learned last night dudes are making play even down

The stretch in the and I fell asleep and watched it this morning even down the stretch in that Texas game Guy this is not normal behavior guy goes up to make a play your normal reaction is to put a hand down when you’re falling on your

Back yeah these dudes just go as high as they can catch the ball fall right on their backs and just get back up I’m like damn yeah where’re dudes I mean whatever you want to say about college football and you’re right it’s you shouldn’t have free agency with two

Games left in the season coaches flying in the recruit players off campuses when they got two games they go okay it’s all bad but last night was pretty fun to watch the football it unless you like unless you hated harbone but man it was so close it was

Right there the overtime fourth down oh you ridiculous stop good sabin’s got to go his time has pass make a decision make the right call B what’s the right call gone who’s it Jean Stallings again bringing back he won one they’re going with the junction boys

Or whatever we go back to the go are we glad Signet is getting all these guys are we Inus hey you know what I’m going to have a hell of a time being an IU football fan until the end of August then all bets are off but for right now

Google me or I win Google me it’s the best thing I’ve ever heard an Indiana Coach say ever I agree with that it’s awesome I agree I do agree with that I thought that was pretty good yeah now we got we because we are Indiana football we’ve got Washington and Michigan coming

To the Rock Memorial Stadium next year how about two big 10 teams in the National Championship Game awesome I just like saying that because it seems so stupid like Washington do you count them as a they’re not a big 10 team it’s 2024 let right that’s right that’s what

I said people were arguing with me I’m like no I read I read in the internet I follow Twitter and said 2024 Washington’s in the Big 10 there it is what the hell yeah we’re not waiting for June 30th it was this like getting a license in Indiana you got to wait one

Month in a day to get your license at 16 man you remember that oh yeah kids don’t get their licenses I can’t imagine what what are they doing I don’t know I’ve got a nephew I’m I think he’s 20 21 years old I don’t think he’s got a

Driver’s license I’m like what are you doing how do you get places oh mom takes me Mom at 21 what are you a crazy person what are you a child let me tell you what the greatest thing about getting a license at 16 a month in a day was

Getting in the car closing the door turning the music up as loud as you want and knowing I can go anywhere I want right now yep that ladies and G to Freedom would this would would you do this now so I was 16 August 17th can’t get your

License for a month and a day I didn’t go to high school I worked at athletes foot for a year because I had a bone disease um my parents worked so they’re working I had to get to work because I was working at the athletes foot I they

We bought a I bought a car I bought half a car so we they told me yeah go ahead drive it to work I didn’t have a license I was 16 so for about 3 weeks really and the and and it would probably be like driving from

Here to it wasn’t close like I had to get out of my neighborhood pass my school which was two miles away pass that another mile take it right on Broadway go past my high school another 2 three miles down the road it’s probably 10 miles yeah 8 to 10 with no

License which means no insurance my dad’s like d you that’s a tough one back in the 80s you could do that yeah crap yeah it was actually 79 I think Dad let me drive when I was a fifth grader when we lived in Michigan and there was this

Long stretch of road didn’t have to turn he’s like yeah let’s switch you can drive and uh so I’m driving but I’m i’ never sat in the driver’s seat so I I drove to the prospective of the passenger and and Dad kept like every time we passed the mailbox like jeez God

I was like what he like he’s got PTSD oh they’re shooting at us with his mailbox yeah I think I let Andrew do the same thing until I realized there was a ditch I’m like a crap was a back road in Bowling Green he was like I fifth grade

Whatever and I’m like yeah go ahead come on I’m like a [ __ ] stop the car stop the car right now I realized there’s a ditch along the whole side I I don’t mind you going on somebody’s grass but I don’t need to be in a ditch like [ __ ] I took

Ryan to a parking lot without like the parking things the Chucks it’s like yeah do what you want you know just don’t don’t get off the off the pavement he was a good driver either you can drive or you can’t either you’re good with that kind of high stress thing or some

People lose their minds I love driving from jump love it love it couldn’t wait to do it still I don’t understand like when I was driving when I didn’t have a license all I did was look you know like who’s coming this way I wanted everybody

To see me driving and then I realized wait a second everybody I know is in school like old ladies are driving by and I’m like hey you know 15 or whatever 16 less than a month in a day but uh I told my mom was telling my mom that the

Other day she goes ah you’re good like okay all right there you go did we did we not did we not cover anything that we need to I think we hit it all tonight we’ll see what happens with the the uh boiler makers they got Maryland just

Okay I think Marilyn’s like 9 and five or 9 and four just okay and it’s still early in the Big 10 season so we don’t expect Purdue to fall off a cliff yet and we’ve heard of Maryland so that’s that’s another thing what does that mean we’ve heard of Maryland

Fairley Dickinson St Peters you know the they play against they play against good teams or the teams we’ve heard of yeah when they play against teams we’ve heard of they win when it’s like 16 seeds that we haven’t ever never heard of you’ve heard of them I he the only about one

Thing and this is so away from the interest level of people watching Joey Meyer passed away yeah what a nice man you knew him well nice yeah you knew him well right and and Ray would come into like Larry’s office who was the Sid Atul and watch IU games he’d sit with coach

Ray Meyer and listen to him talk about why Damon Bailey was good at this and that it was awesome Purdue is like a little family playing of big yeah uh playing Big Time basketball and and you felt like you were a part of it it was

Just very cool when I first started out on the road Joey Meyer I would sit with him all the time he and crazy Kevin O’Neal and that was a different group like Joey and Kevin may have less in common as human beings yeah I’d sit there and Kaplan

David Kaplan I think he was recruiting that I can’t remember but he would we would sit there and I remember being trying to recruit jaman Howard up at at lyola in that old gym they had that had a track running around it you were you came actually one day you and and uh

Paulie balls you came to watch that same weekend I think I do I came to watch Once I came to watch Rashad Griffith and Thomas Hamilton playing an event there and Thomas Hamilton showed up like Midway through the second was I with you it might have been I thought that was at

UIC or the amphitheater was it I don’t know but I remember that I remember going and and I don’t know who we would have been recruiting but yeah t westing house King King King for the great Sunny [ __ ] yeah Joey Meyer dying man I’ll tell you this Joey Meyer ruined Christmas one time

Though he came in and Juan gay hit a shot I’ll tell you a story I I just this is when I I told you I punched coach Knight one time right yeah this was because of that Juan gay hits a shot we we’re up one night calls timeout

Positions guys I move Charlie Miller after after nighted I didn’t wasn’t in the hudle I’m like Charlie what are you doing go well apparently he was supposed to be in the position where Juan gay was when he hit the shot and we’re crushed I don’t realize what I’ve done we get in

Locker room I’m just standing there I know it’s going to be hell Charlie what the [ __ ] which way cuz coach doin told me to and I’m like oh that is good so we go in Daddy get your ass in here we go in the locker room and he he

Kind of hit me and I’m like [ __ ] all right so I leave I don’t then we go home for Christmas for a couple days and we come back and I know it’s going to be hell on me I know this is going to be horrible I walking he’s not talking to me mother

We’re on the court and I’m standing on the court on the side coaching a little bit he comes up boom I’m like [ __ ] so uh game practice is over night screaming yelling whatever he goes into the little room off of Assembly Hall off of the locker room and now I

Don’t know what it is now but it was just this little room where we went at halftime and there was couch in there at night uh I go in and I said hey I’ve told you this St I say coach I said you know I know you’re mad and that’s great

And I let you hit me here after the game all right that’s whatever but don’t you ever [ __ ] do that again in front of the team now I didn’t do anything in front of the team but this shit’s over and he got up and he came at me and I drilled him drilled

Him right here boom knocked him kind of back onto the uh onto this red couch that was in there and I just looked at I said coach I just I was about ready to cry I mean I was so I mean I would have killed

Him if you know and I’m not very tough but but rage you know it’s like you know that that song Coward of the County where you finally let go you know and I was like like [ __ ] and I left I went and got the tape from the manager

So at least if when I get fired or I get charged with ass salt right never bothered me again is that right never I mean he yelled scream but never was I just was like I remember I remember in pract Imagine in practice boom and he walked

Away and I remember thinking I should just jump his ass right and I’m like ah you can’t do that just wait so I couldn’t wait till practice was over I went in the room he stood up and I don’t know what he was going to do but I

Wasn’t waiting and uh right there left hand knocked him back on the couch knocked him back like and I’m like oh this I I went I I never told anybody like I didn’t tell my wife yeah I told nobody cuz I just assumed that I was

Going to be F I don’t know what I I was I was just I remember going home sitting down going in the basement which I really didn’t have a finished basement grabbing three bears and I just sat there with my phone thinking I’m getting fired or I’m just

Right I mean I didn’t Jackie was like what’s wrong ah practice coaches out you know she knew the whole she did she knew the first story she didn’t know and I that was the last year right wasn’t that the last year played to Paul yeah I

Think so so yeah yikes about that never told that story never I mean never I think I first told this story uh and I wanted to I knew it would get back to coach knight uh so I told him one time before he got toena when he was working

At ESPN I told it to a friend of his and uh because I knew the guy would tell night yeah and I never heard never heard Boo from night and I saw the guy later I go you go I know you told Coach night he

Goes H yeah he goes how’ you know I go guess what I told you the story but I never told anybody cuz I didn’t need that and so I think I told you this before when Knight is going to get fired the first time when when bran saved him

Yeah at the press conference somebody asked at the end of the press conference is there a video of Dan dockage and bob Knight fighting really yes yes and I’m like a [ __ ] two seconds later like two seconds after the press conferences over my phone we got landline ringing off the

Hook hey this is so and so from ABC News hey this is so and so from you know whatever blah blah blah blah blah I told Ary propella my assistant I said hey man I don’t even know if we can recruit tomorrow but we’re getting out

Of town we’re going like we drove to Indie and like had lunch or yeah I’m like and my I told my secretary just tell everybody to calls I let me know who’s calling and tell everybody I’m out of town that’s that’s the other reason I didn’t tell anybody forever because I

You know when KN was going through all that [ __ ] I didn’t want to be brought into any of it and when KN when they did that 30 for 30 yeah that’s why I told them I’m not involved they didn’t know I never told them why I just I’m not you

Will not get me on camera but yes that was a that was a Stones move like you’re an employee of the place they’re doing a 30 for 30 on a guy that you knew better than anybody else and you won’t talk I told him no head of ESPN not not ter but

The head guy Lea fitting is like you got to get on I go no I’m not doing it I go and I told him I said look you guys have done this story a million times you guys he’s retired he’s done he’s done leave him alone right that was my official

Right but I had slipped up in an interview way back when the final four was here and it made national news and I wasn’t I wasn’t because all all imagine if i’ have said yeah you had a punch him one day and then it becomes workplace violence and and yeah all the [ __ ]

That was coming out with night yeah you know even though it was years later I’m like I’m no well and it’s it’s different with you it’s personal with you it’s your life yeah like this is some 30 for 30 [ __ ] thing to you right right and

I just I I in fact I I I didn’t even tell my brother uh but I asked my brother I go I’m not doing any of this 30 for 30 he he goes what do you got to hide I got enough I I got enough you

Know he goes well if you don’t ever want to worry about it don’t do it I and they they must called me the head guy called me the guy who ran I forget his name he’s the CNN guy he’s ripped me on Twitter I don’t give a [ __ ] what you say

Man no way no chance and ESPN was pissed legitimately pissed yeah because here I am and they I would be too yeah we’re writing you checks I mean come on I know right but it’s you’ve got to respect that and and if if they knew you at all

You know that there’s a good reason yeah and and you shouldn’t have to probe even to get it you just know there’s a good reason and let’s move on I will tell you this Lee fitting that’s why you know he just left ESPN that’s why I always say

He’s the best guy in management that I met there because he kind of said that same thing he goes you must have your reasons I go Le I have my reasons is a lifetime ago just trust me I I’m I’m no yeah M good for you yeah and good for

Him can you imagine punching Bob can you imagine punching your boss no like or can you imagine you punt you hitting an employee he didn’t just go like that yeah I just do went and so guys that played there like AJ giden said one time on Twitter well you let somebody hit you

I go yeah you’re right I D but they didn’t know the backstory and I wasn’t never seen you guys had you guys had a relation ship that evolved over the years from one into another and he may have gotten mixed up as to exactly who you were at the age of

35 and how different that was from you at the age yeah he wouldn’t he would he when I didn’t work for he wouldn’t have ah maybe’ have done that to me as a player I don’t know but well we fired the ball off your head like six he has a

Freshman twice yeah yeah I turned with a fist oh left hand spun me around I don’t know what he’s going to do right and he backed off and that’s what I wanted to see dockage that’s what we need on I’m like okay so then he

Called me out on the Accord he goes were you going to hit me I go coach I was going to hit you right in the face I go I was going to I I didn’t know what the hell you were going to do you just hit

Me in the face with a freaking ball yeah he goes that’s what we need you go tell Whitman and kitchell that you’re the only one on this team with balls and like okay kitchell’s like what do he say I guys told me you tell you you’re a

Touchdown maybe double digits this is the way like Tuesday it’s always dark for me then Wednesday Thursday I start to see the light and by Saturday I’ll be fully convinced that the Colts are going to win this game well if you don’t if you don’t think the Colts are going to

  1. Shane has been good but he is a little behind for me in COY.

    Stefanski is the runaway I think. Then its more or less a 3 way tie between steichen, ryans, and harbaugh.

    The colts have greatly benefitted from a last place schedule and its really shown lately.

    We have only really had 1 good performances in the past 2 months, steelers. The other games its been more cardiac colts than anything.

  2. I’ll consider it a failure if Colts lose. Sure they exceeded expectations on the season, but beating the Texans at home is a low bar. No excuse to miss the playoffs this year.

  3. Love you but you are dead wrong. Cleveland coach is winning coach of the year unanimously. No debate. Cleveland has no business to even sniff playoffs

  4. You lose Nick Chubb and Joe Flacco is your starter. Who is winning coach of the year again?

  5. You got Jalen Jones 7th round rookie, Nick Cross who is basically a rookie, we got a LB playing safety, really got a mess in the secondary…

    Please explain how the hell Kent has still not been able to figure out that this 'scheme' is helping all of these guys not get exposed in their youth and or lack of dynamism on a personal level.

    Solidly middle of the league in passing yards
    Solidly middle of the league in passive ave/att
    Top third in passing TDs given up.
    1 INT away from being tied for top 5
    5th in sacks – Without any elite pass rush guys and we have a team (indy) record for sacks and it's dismissed. Iv not heard any of you guys discuss coverage sacks.

    And Bradley needs to be fired. I don't care if they lose 0-4, it won't be on the offense…

    I just do not understand the disconnect between 'this new era of football' with the passing and scoring. You don't build from the inside, you need dynamism on the outside, at the QB position, and blah blah blah. Yet at the same time you expect the defense to play, or rather have the results of defenses from the 80s. The defense has to adjust too… None of these fire Bradley clowns would be happy without matching the defensive success of the 2000 Ravens… or the 13 Seahawks

  6. Watch Steichen post game speech. He is a leader, the coach we need, but the faces of the Irsay girls! Why are they there?

  7. I loved the low-angle view for IU games on Channel 4 back in the day!!! It was unique to IU and I'd love to see that again.

  8. Your still doing a show with a guy that told you and me lamar jackson wasn't the answer he's injury prone his mvp season is well behind him coach of the year 🤔 black coach lives matter purdy could have won last week and win the super bowl lamar or Prescott is mvp it's a new era

  9. Let’s set the record straight Demar Hamlin is not on this earth anymore. He died on that football field. Do your diligence in your research wake up from your slumber.

  10. Eagles sorely miss his feel for the game with regards to play-calling and setting up plays for later in the game.

  11. We ran a 3-4 with Greg Manusky during the Pagano years with decent personnel: Cory Redding, Robert Mathis, Jerrell Freeman, Mike Adams, Vontae Davis. However, I don't think Manusky was the best coach for that scheme. He's no Wade Phillips, Dick Lebeau, Rex Ryan, Bill Belichick, Steve Spagnoulo, etc. Great content as always gentlemen, happy new year and go colts.

  12. There's been a lot of BS going on here and there with the Colts due to last year's Dean with some of the players. Not wanting to follow the rules. It's just now this year that's Steichen is enforcing a culture and making players accountable. So you would have to clean up. Jeff saturday started trying to get that done by benching people, but Steichen is putting the hammer 🔨 down.

  13. Go Michigan 😂🎉😂 sorry I'm a colts fan but I live in Michigan and college I'ma Michigan fan

  14. Let’s be real Steichen has been an absolute master at changing culture upside down (totally a good thing)

    Bradley is a product of habit

  15. Any injured players that could've played last game but didn't need to play against the Texans… you need anyone who can play to play in a must win with the season on the line… Braden Smith did it against the raiders and its all hands on deck against the Texans…

  16. Screw the big ten!!!! They are not going to extort money out of me to watch Purdue on Peacock!!!

  17. Sorry for crossing the streams, but this comment belongs here.

    Does Dan look like a much taller, clean-shaven version of Mike Moffit?

  18. Thanks, Kent, for explaining why Peirce can't get open and break any separation. He's really more of a 6th or 7th round pick than a 2nd round pick. AR5 would help his game better because he has the arm to throw down the field. You have to be a quick cutter for Minchew dink and dunk passing game.

  19. I remember one Blankenship missed 40 field goals in a row it seemed like, and Reich said week after week. He has all the confidence in the world in Rodrigo he is our guy it made me wanna puke.

  20. If Gus Bradley would allow the guys to bounce back n forth between man coverage and zone coverage it confuses the QB…..especially a rookie QB….. The bend but dont break Cover two is too predictable once the QB learns to read your safeties. A rookie QB gains momentum when he’s successful early and if you can confuse him early he will panic and start just throwing the ball up in the air. Bradley knows this and if you see the Colts corners coming up to the line early in the first half, we can expect the defense will confuse Stroud into throwing multiple interceptions

  21. Unbelievable we still dont know what happened with the two players that got jettisoned….. it just makes me wonder WHY, if one of those guys were named Pittman or Taylor, we would surely know the reason. It’s surprising that one of those involved isnt talking…hint hint… why not break a story Kent?? Why not contact one of them to find out the truth.
