00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:18.039
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick coffee.

3
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:21.800
<v Speaker 2>That's right, coffee and company. You're rolling along here on

4
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.640
<v Speaker 2>a Friday afternoon, getting you set for the weekend, your

5
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:30.239
<v Speaker 2>last weekend without college football. Week zero next week. Not

6
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:33.520
<v Speaker 2>a lot of great games, but certainly some games to consume.

7
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:36.679
<v Speaker 2>That is better than not having any games to consume

8
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:39.399
<v Speaker 2>and games to bet on, and that's always always a

9
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:41.679
<v Speaker 2>whole lot of fun. So thanks for hanging out with us,

10
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:43.159
<v Speaker 2>don't forget. You can take us with you wherever you go.

11
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Listen live on the out radio. Have listen live. It's

12
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:48.840
<v Speaker 2>seven ninety Louisville dot com. The U of L Football

13
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.719
<v Speaker 2>luncheon was earlier today and haven't heard a whole lot

14
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 2>of feedback as to what as to how it went.

15
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.600
<v Speaker 2>I assume it went well. There's clearly excitement once again

16
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:00.799
<v Speaker 2>for Louisville football, and there's a lot of ways you

17
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.399
<v Speaker 2>can you can determine that, right, but maybe no better

18
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>way to do that than people spending money. And right

19
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:08.400
<v Speaker 2>now season ticket sales are in a really good spot.

20
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.519
<v Speaker 2>Josh Hurd did say at the sellout crowd for the

21
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Louisville fotball kickoff luncheon, So a packed crowd there and

22
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.599
<v Speaker 2>they have currently well I don't know if currently, but

23
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:21.040
<v Speaker 2>he says that they will top forty thousand in season

24
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.959
<v Speaker 2>ticket sales, which hey, look, I mean not a big

25
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:28.599
<v Speaker 2>surprise considering broms here and you're coming off a ten

26
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:30.760
<v Speaker 2>win season. I mean, the vibes are good. But if

27
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:32.840
<v Speaker 2>you keep it up, like if you start, here's where

28
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.599
<v Speaker 2>things can get really special. When you start having sustained success.

29
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.079
<v Speaker 2>And with basketball, I mean, it's just going to be

30
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:42.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, any little success is going to feel a

31
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.120
<v Speaker 2>lot better than it typically would just because of the

32
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 2>recent disaster that was going on. But you know, when

33
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.959
<v Speaker 2>it comes to nil money that is that is being

34
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.799
<v Speaker 2>put up by fans, you're gonna always need corporate help

35
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>and all that and big donors and whatnot. But once

36
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.799
<v Speaker 2>you start having like consist in success where Louisville football knows, hey,

37
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:03.799
<v Speaker 2>we're in good shape. Right when we have a year

38
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:07.079
<v Speaker 2>where we're really special, maybe a playoff contender may have

39
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 2>a year where you know, we're kind of going through

40
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:12.800
<v Speaker 2>some growing pains whatever it may be, but like if

41
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, hey, we're never going to drop below eight

42
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:16.599
<v Speaker 2>and maybe every now and then we get ten again. Like,

43
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:19.719
<v Speaker 2>and that's tough to have that be your standard, that

44
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.960
<v Speaker 2>be what you have sustained, but it's also not unrealistic.

45
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 2>And if you can do that, man, like, that's whenever

46
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.759
<v Speaker 2>you start to see things where you have things with

47
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 2>U of l Athletics just in a you know, I

48
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 2>don't want to say back to where it was and

49
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 2>the you know, the the era that was the Year

50
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.800
<v Speaker 2>of the Cardinal, but you got to have sustained success

51
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 2>in the major sports and Jeff Bram I think is

52
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.400
<v Speaker 2>going to do that. He's already off to a great start.

53
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:43.520
<v Speaker 2>And you know, Pat Kelsey, the only time will tell,

54
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.280
<v Speaker 2>but man, that guy has done everything needed to inject

55
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.919
<v Speaker 2>enthusiasm excitement within the fan base. And you can tell.

56
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:52.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean again, it's little. I don't want to make

57
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:54.439
<v Speaker 2>it out like it's some huge thing, but to see

58
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 2>him helping everybody move in yesterday over on campus, not

59
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.280
<v Speaker 2>just as players, but you know, just walking aro around,

60
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:04.240
<v Speaker 2>meeting students, introducing himself. You know, he understands that a

61
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:05.960
<v Speaker 2>big part of this is, Hey, let's let's wake this

62
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:07.719
<v Speaker 2>fan base up and let him know we're here. We're

63
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.039
<v Speaker 2>gonna win games, and Louisville basketball is going to be

64
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 2>back to where blocks so good stuff. All right, speaking

65
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:15.719
<v Speaker 2>to good stuff, it's the one and only doctor Eric

66
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Michilroy joining us here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

67
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.680
<v Speaker 3>How are we doing, Eric man, I'm doing great, Nick,

68
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 3>How are.

69
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 2>You doing doing well? It's Friday, It's our last weekend

70
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>without college football, and that makes me very happy. We're

71
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 2>we're getting closer. I know it is. It's crazy. He's

72
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.800
<v Speaker 2>getting closer and closer. And you know, we over the

73
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:34.960
<v Speaker 2>years have talked a lot about the mental component to

74
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.520
<v Speaker 2>recovering from injuries. And we've talked about Tyler Shuck, the

75
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.719
<v Speaker 2>Louisville quarterback who's transferred in from Texas Tech and Oregon,

76
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:46.199
<v Speaker 2>and he's unfortunately had injuries throughout his entire career. And

77
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 2>some of them have been, you know, seemingly just you know,

78
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:51.840
<v Speaker 2>bad luck. Some have been maybe you know, I you know,

79
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.800
<v Speaker 2>you never know, right, However, if you're somebody like him

80
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>who's played college football for five years, this will be

81
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.680
<v Speaker 2>a six year He's older, he's more mature, He's gone

82
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.080
<v Speaker 2>through the we have process many times more times than

83
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.240
<v Speaker 2>anybody would want to. Yet right now, if he was

84
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 2>to check the pulse of what's being said about him,

85
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 2>not only within the Louisville fan base, but nationally, it's, well,

86
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Louisville's got Tyler Schuck, but can he stay healthy? How

87
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.199
<v Speaker 2>do you in your how do you in your in

88
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.399
<v Speaker 2>your profession, in your industry? You know, if he came

89
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:22.160
<v Speaker 2>to you and said, man, like, I'm just overthinking this

90
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.000
<v Speaker 2>injury stuff because everywhere I look it's all anybody's talking about.

91
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.439
<v Speaker 2>And understandably so it is something that is attached to him,

92
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.000
<v Speaker 2>But like, how do athletes best sort of navigate that?

93
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Because I think at times we forget these people are

94
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:32.920
<v Speaker 2>human beings.

95
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:37.160
<v Speaker 4>You know, that's a great question, Nick, And I think

96
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 4>that what is lost in the whole rehab and recovery

97
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:44.120
<v Speaker 4>process is the importance of a team of providers that

98
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:48.399
<v Speaker 4>are there to help with whatever attribute or whatever attribute,

99
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:49.920
<v Speaker 4>whatever issue.

100
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:50.879
<v Speaker 3>That is going on with the athletes.

101
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:52.199
<v Speaker 4>So a lot of times what we see is these

102
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:53.959
<v Speaker 4>athletes are doing great, but they don't feel like it,

103
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.160
<v Speaker 4>are there. They a lot of fear and anxiety are

104
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:57.560
<v Speaker 4>out about return to play.

105
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.040
<v Speaker 3>They look good in practice, they feel good in practice.

106
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.040
<v Speaker 4>Or move even great, you know, but then all of

107
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.079
<v Speaker 4>a sudden, you're getting closer to competition, and you know,

108
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.839
<v Speaker 4>those those bad negative thoughts coming back into their head.

109
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 4>Am I able cannot perform at the level I once was?

110
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.639
<v Speaker 4>All those all those things start to run through their head.

111
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.759
<v Speaker 4>And that's where the sports psychologists come in. So they're

112
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 4>not just there to help, you know, focus them on

113
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:21.000
<v Speaker 4>positive thought.

114
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:21.920
<v Speaker 3>And mindfulness and stuff.

115
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.279
<v Speaker 4>They're there and you know, on the injury returning from

116
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:26.800
<v Speaker 4>play injury too, they're they're help there to help address

117
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.439
<v Speaker 4>their their issues, those negative thoughts that they may have,

118
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.319
<v Speaker 4>those those thoughts of oh, nobody believe in me like

119
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:36.879
<v Speaker 4>that is their role, and they are a vital I

120
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:41.240
<v Speaker 4>mean vital role in the recovery and the return to

121
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.839
<v Speaker 4>sport and the return to play process for any athlete

122
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.920
<v Speaker 4>of any sport, and for somebody like him, that that's

123
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:49.839
<v Speaker 4>who he's talking to, and that's who he should be

124
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:53.680
<v Speaker 4>talking to because they're gonna help mitigate those fears. You know,

125
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.639
<v Speaker 4>he already has the natural fears of what's happened to

126
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 4>him in the past, and you know, and that is normal.

127
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.600
<v Speaker 4>And then on top of that, oh I cannot perform

128
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:05.279
<v Speaker 4>like I need to.

129
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.519
<v Speaker 3>You know, that's a whole other variable. And then you

130
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:09.160
<v Speaker 3>know the.

131
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:15.680
<v Speaker 4>Outside thoughts of you know, can this guy or are

132
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:17.759
<v Speaker 4>we gonna you know, if he goes down and doesn't

133
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:19.160
<v Speaker 4>get up very fast?

134
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:21.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, is it over? You know those kind of things.

135
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.160
<v Speaker 3>So I think that you know, he's gonna be on

136
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.279
<v Speaker 3>a regular having a regular conversation.

137
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure he already has with a sports psych who

138
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.160
<v Speaker 4>can help him manage not only the fear and anxiety

139
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.399
<v Speaker 4>of returning to play, but also the ability to play

140
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:37.160
<v Speaker 4>it at a high level.

141
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:39.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, maybe this is me just looking at it

142
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.759
<v Speaker 2>from an extremely glass half full rather than glass half empty,

143
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.959
<v Speaker 2>But I do feel like the repetition is big in

144
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.879
<v Speaker 2>every in everything, and I think, knowing he's gone through

145
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:50.519
<v Speaker 2>it before, maybe I guess it. You know, he could

146
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:52.560
<v Speaker 2>either look at it as like wow, I keep going

147
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:54.800
<v Speaker 2>through the process feeling great and I keep getting injured.

148
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:56.600
<v Speaker 2>That's probably the negative way to look at it, and

149
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:58.639
<v Speaker 2>in fact it is, But there's another side of like, hey,

150
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:00.480
<v Speaker 2>I've gone through this before, I've come back, like I

151
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.959
<v Speaker 2>know the grind that it takes. Like I don't know,

152
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:04.399
<v Speaker 2>I guess it just depends on who you are as

153
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:06.959
<v Speaker 2>a person. But I think, you know, nobody wants to

154
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:08.959
<v Speaker 2>get injured ever, and when you have multiple injuries, I'm

155
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.399
<v Speaker 2>sure it's crushing to you as an athlete and everybody

156
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.279
<v Speaker 2>and everybody involved in your recovery. But there's also like

157
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.000
<v Speaker 2>not as much maybe fear because hey, he's gone through

158
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:18.399
<v Speaker 2>this process before, right.

159
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:23.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean I think that. I mean obviously, you know,

160
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:25.040
<v Speaker 3>like you said, everybody handles it differ.

161
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:27.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it just comes down I guess your mindset individually, right,

162
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:29.399
<v Speaker 2>But I.

163
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:30.480
<v Speaker 3>Think the fear is normal.

164
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know, I think he's always going to be concerned, right,

165
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:34.319
<v Speaker 4>He's got you know, he wants to play well, he

166
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:35.079
<v Speaker 4>wants to perform.

167
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:37.519
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't want to ruin another football season. You know,

168
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:40.360
<v Speaker 3>he understands this is it Like he gets it. He

169
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:42.439
<v Speaker 3>should get it, like you know, he should go through

170
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:43.279
<v Speaker 3>those things in his head.

171
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.079
<v Speaker 4>You have to accept the risk, and I think that

172
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:49.600
<v Speaker 4>it's part of the healing process. In order for you

173
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.279
<v Speaker 4>to get over you have to accept that it's possible.

174
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 4>But you've got to make sure that you're in the

175
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.920
<v Speaker 4>mindset you've done everything you possibly can to be at

176
00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 4>the level you need to be, and believe in yourself

177
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.360
<v Speaker 4>and the people around you that they are getting you

178
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:06.120
<v Speaker 4>where you need to be and that that is harder

179
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.120
<v Speaker 4>than it is to say, you know, but I do

180
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.560
<v Speaker 4>think that that's where having a team of providers there

181
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.399
<v Speaker 4>for him that enable him to work through those challenges

182
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:21.959
<v Speaker 4>and and you're right, having been there before helps him

183
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:22.879
<v Speaker 4>through that process.

184
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:26.240
<v Speaker 3>But at the same time, it's still.

185
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:27.800
<v Speaker 4>You know, you hear athletes say this all the time, right,

186
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:29.160
<v Speaker 4>I just needed to get out there and take my

187
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:32.240
<v Speaker 4>first hit, right like, you know that that's still there,

188
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.200
<v Speaker 4>like and still you until you get out there and

189
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:37.200
<v Speaker 4>you start playing and performing, you know, you're really not

190
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:39.720
<v Speaker 4>gonna know and they they need to do it.

191
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.000
<v Speaker 3>It's like you gotta you gotta take that leap, uh.

192
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:44.919
<v Speaker 4>And then once they get into it, then it's then

193
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:48.279
<v Speaker 4>they're usually much better. Not that they don't have moments,

194
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:50.039
<v Speaker 4>but that initial fear anxiety, Yeah.

195
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:51.960
<v Speaker 2>It's once you once you dive in, you're in right,

196
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.399
<v Speaker 2>and you could maybe have a moment where your your

197
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.440
<v Speaker 2>mind plays a trick on you for a moment, but overall,

198
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.679
<v Speaker 2>once you're me because again, football football specifically, it's such

199
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.720
<v Speaker 2>a contact sport to where you know, more often than not,

200
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:04.000
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna be getting some contact on just about every

201
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:05.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, depending on the position you play like, it's

202
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:08.639
<v Speaker 2>not uncommon. Therefore, you know, once you're out there, I

203
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.159
<v Speaker 2>think it does kind of removes itself from your brain

204
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.159
<v Speaker 2>because you know, it's just such a constant thing within

205
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.000
<v Speaker 2>that within that battlefield.

206
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.039
<v Speaker 4>So speak and nick for and if you think about it,

207
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:19.960
<v Speaker 4>remember you hear me say this all the time on here.

208
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:21.799
<v Speaker 3>It's so position specific.

209
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:24.440
<v Speaker 4>Sure, you know, your quarterbacks are the most protected player

210
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.399
<v Speaker 4>in practice, rightfully, so, right but when you got one

211
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.000
<v Speaker 4>coming back from an injury and they're protected so much

212
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:33.960
<v Speaker 4>in practice, that first hit sometimes is coming in a game.

213
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:36.840
<v Speaker 3>You know, a lineman, a linebacker, a running back.

214
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:40.879
<v Speaker 4>They're gonna you're gonna get them involved in contact before

215
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:45.000
<v Speaker 4>they play a quarterback, not necessarily, so you know, for

216
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:48.039
<v Speaker 4>a quarterback it is a challenge because they don't really

217
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.559
<v Speaker 4>you know, they're protected and again it's the right thing

218
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.559
<v Speaker 4>to do, but at the same time, they may have

219
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:57.320
<v Speaker 4>that anxiety going you know, a little bit higher going

220
00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:00.159
<v Speaker 4>into the game just because they're you know, probably one

221
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:02.639
<v Speaker 4>of the most if not the most exposed players on

222
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:06.759
<v Speaker 4>the field. At the same time, you know, they're obviously

223
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.039
<v Speaker 4>one of the most the most important, and.

224
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.600
<v Speaker 3>So it's it's that first time a lot of times

225
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:12.480
<v Speaker 3>is in competition.

226
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.919
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Eric McElroy Proria Physical Therapy is our guest joining

227
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.440
<v Speaker 2>us here on Sports Talk seven ninety so. Kentucky football

228
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:21.879
<v Speaker 2>unfortunately had a pretty big injury, but it's not a

229
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:24.799
<v Speaker 2>season ending thing. But a running back, Chip Trainum, who

230
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:27.879
<v Speaker 2>transferred in from Ohio State. He's expected to take over

231
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Ray Davis's role and has had a pretty good career

232
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.919
<v Speaker 2>at both Arizona State and Ohio State and was expected

233
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:36.039
<v Speaker 2>to be again their lead guy as far as a ballcarrier,

234
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:39.559
<v Speaker 2>but he suffered this past weekend a broken hand, and

235
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.960
<v Speaker 2>the report is that he's going to be out three

236
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:45.120
<v Speaker 2>to four weeks and could potentially miss their first two games.

237
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:47.039
<v Speaker 2>What is it? And I guess it just depends on

238
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:49.759
<v Speaker 2>maybe what kind of break where it is, But what'll

239
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:51.320
<v Speaker 2>be the rehab process? I mean?

240
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:51.559
<v Speaker 3>Is this?

241
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:53.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, how can you know you can do things

242
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.360
<v Speaker 2>to keep yourself in shape while not getting hit because

243
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.200
<v Speaker 2>you know it's just your hand, but you know, just

244
00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I know you're guessing a little bit here. What would

245
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:00.960
<v Speaker 2>you think the next three to four weeks are gonna

246
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:02.440
<v Speaker 2>be like for him? I guess it depends on if

247
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:06.240
<v Speaker 2>they're surgery needed. But I feel like overall, like you know,

248
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:07.879
<v Speaker 2>you could put a big club on that hand and

249
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:10.360
<v Speaker 2>it probably probably just comes down to like pain tolerance

250
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:12.320
<v Speaker 2>for him, right yeah.

251
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:13.919
<v Speaker 3>I mean the first thing is just making sure the

252
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:14.919
<v Speaker 3>bones are healing well.

253
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:15.399
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

254
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.240
<v Speaker 3>And then it's you know, you know.

255
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:21.480
<v Speaker 4>Pain mitigation, inflammation, uh, moving the fluid if they're swelling,

256
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:26.039
<v Speaker 4>maintaining mobility, maintaining grip strength. You know, your your body

257
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.080
<v Speaker 4>kind of goes into shock muscles kind of. You know,

258
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:29.960
<v Speaker 4>they're not weak because you're not using them, they're weak

259
00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:33.360
<v Speaker 4>because of the trauma. You know, they're they shut down.

260
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.120
<v Speaker 4>It's just biology, primitive nature of things. And so you

261
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:40.320
<v Speaker 4>know your job is to it's you're you're in crunch time.

262
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:42.039
<v Speaker 4>So you know there's a lot of things that you

263
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:45.679
<v Speaker 4>may do that you skip or uh, you won't get

264
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 4>to because the whole goal is to get him back

265
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:50.360
<v Speaker 4>to playing. And so you know, you're that's what you're doing.

266
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:52.519
<v Speaker 4>You're you're what do what do we need to do

267
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.559
<v Speaker 4>damage control to make sure that he can perform. And

268
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:58.159
<v Speaker 4>then on the I kind of as you mentioned with

269
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:00.639
<v Speaker 4>the club, if you will every every position a little different,

270
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.600
<v Speaker 4>I can get away with that as in some positions

271
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:07.000
<v Speaker 4>but not in others. So it's what what tools cannot

272
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.080
<v Speaker 4>bring to the table that enable him to perform but

273
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.519
<v Speaker 4>protect him at the same time. And that's where the

274
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:17.080
<v Speaker 4>creativity of spointing and things like that come in. That

275
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:18.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, if if this was the off season, you

276
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:20.840
<v Speaker 4>would never really be honest, have to worry about.

277
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.360
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, you know, in season, you don't have time

278
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:25.600
<v Speaker 3>to to mess around, so you got to fear those

279
00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:26.080
<v Speaker 3>things out.

280
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:30.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's it's wild how the injuries in the in

281
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.679
<v Speaker 2>the running back position have just piled up in the SEC.

282
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:36.879
<v Speaker 2>I think I read that train him is the Yeah,

283
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:39.840
<v Speaker 2>he's the fourth. He's the fourth SEC starting running back

284
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:42.679
<v Speaker 2>to suffer an injury in fall camp. Texas has a

285
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:45.240
<v Speaker 2>running back that went down, Rubin Owens from a and

286
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:47.840
<v Speaker 2>m out for the season with a leg injury. Montreal

287
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.519
<v Speaker 2>Johnson of Florida. He's uh, he's apparently potentially going to

288
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:55.080
<v Speaker 2>miss the season. So tough, lucky. Anytime you have a

289
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.440
<v Speaker 2>news coming out of fall camp from a practice, it's

290
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.519
<v Speaker 2>usually something injury related. That's never good. So you know,

291
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:03.639
<v Speaker 2>it's just part. It's part. It's part of the sport,

292
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:05.919
<v Speaker 2>it really is. And it's inevitable that, you know, more

293
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:07.679
<v Speaker 2>more up than not, somebody's gonna get hurt.

294
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:10.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and you got to have depth. I mean, you know,

295
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:11.919
<v Speaker 3>we can.

296
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:14.159
<v Speaker 4>Brag about this team and that team, but if you

297
00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:17.320
<v Speaker 4>don't have depth, it doesn't matter. And that and that

298
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:21.600
<v Speaker 4>and the power five, especially the the gaps are smaller

299
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:25.120
<v Speaker 4>and smaller, especially with the transfer portal, and if you

300
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:28.080
<v Speaker 4>if you don't have anybody behind them, you know, it's

301
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:29.240
<v Speaker 4>going to impact your season.

302
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:31.320
<v Speaker 3>And hopefully fan bases understand that.

303
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:32.799
<v Speaker 2>That's why they say you got to be ready, right

304
00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:34.360
<v Speaker 2>next guy's always got to be ready.

305
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:35.720
<v Speaker 3>You got to be ready.

306
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:37.440
<v Speaker 2>You never know, all right, So I've got a I

307
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:39.840
<v Speaker 2>got a hypothetical question for you, just just curious. I

308
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.480
<v Speaker 2>know it seems like each time there is a a

309
00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:44.840
<v Speaker 2>tor meniscus torn ACL type of injury, and I know

310
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:46.960
<v Speaker 2>they're not exactly the same, but any an injury where

311
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.960
<v Speaker 2>it requires an athlete to go under surgery, I feel

312
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.399
<v Speaker 2>like over the years, the recovery time for those has

313
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:54.919
<v Speaker 2>has sped up, maybe not at a rapid pace, but

314
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.840
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, you know, twenty years ago, the timeline

315
00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:59.600
<v Speaker 2>for somebody coming off of an ACL or something like

316
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.759
<v Speaker 2>that is much different now than it was then. But

317
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:06.600
<v Speaker 2>JJ McCarthy, the former Michigan quarterback, he's gonna he's expected

318
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:08.600
<v Speaker 2>to miss. In fact, they're reporting he will miss the

319
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:12.120
<v Speaker 2>entire twenty twenty four season after undergoing surgery to repair

320
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:15.600
<v Speaker 2>his torn meniscus. So given the timing right it's you know,

321
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:19.240
<v Speaker 2>mid mid August, Like, is there not that they would

322
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.440
<v Speaker 2>They probably won't need to, he's a rookie, but like,

323
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.480
<v Speaker 2>could we see a scenario maybe, like where if he's

324
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:27.159
<v Speaker 2>really on track and for some reason like they need him, Like,

325
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:29.639
<v Speaker 2>is there a is there a timeline there to where

326
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:31.200
<v Speaker 2>he could actually play for them at any point in

327
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:32.000
<v Speaker 2>the regular season?

328
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:36.840
<v Speaker 3>I think so. I was kind of surprised that.

329
00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:38.080
<v Speaker 2>They went ahead and Shelton for the year.

330
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:41.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think this is a situational thing. Now.

331
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:45.360
<v Speaker 4>Look, I totally understand the mindset of the surgeon. You know,

332
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:47.840
<v Speaker 4>you want to maintain normal biology the best you can.

333
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.440
<v Speaker 4>He's young, you know, quarterbacks nowadays can play a long time.

334
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:56.120
<v Speaker 4>You know, I think that it didn't look like he

335
00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:58.279
<v Speaker 4>was going to walk in as the starter. H So,

336
00:14:58.440 --> 00:14:59.879
<v Speaker 4>you know, I think there's a lot that came into

337
00:14:59.919 --> 00:15:04.399
<v Speaker 4>the decision, and I'm sure McCarthy was just as involved

338
00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:07.679
<v Speaker 4>in that decision as anybody. And and I also think that,

339
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:10.559
<v Speaker 4>you know, I think they're gonna leave the door open

340
00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:14.039
<v Speaker 4>to hey, if you know, we're gonna continue. I guarantee

341
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:15.720
<v Speaker 4>they're going to continue as if he's going to be

342
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.679
<v Speaker 4>able to return, because that's kind of the mindset you need.

343
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:22.960
<v Speaker 4>And then that way, if something comes up and he

344
00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:25.960
<v Speaker 4>needs to be available, you know, he can be available.

345
00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:28.360
<v Speaker 4>So I think that that's probably the way they will

346
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:31.399
<v Speaker 4>address it. But at the same time, if he doesn't

347
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:34.360
<v Speaker 4>have to be available, and we've protected his normal biology

348
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:37.279
<v Speaker 4>and you know, the reality of it is, he'll probably

349
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:41.039
<v Speaker 4>for sure be able to start being involved in practice

350
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:43.919
<v Speaker 4>and stuff. So he's learning the playbook, he's he's you know,

351
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:46.559
<v Speaker 4>working with receivers and and all those kind of things,

352
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:48.480
<v Speaker 4>so he's doing the things he at some point he

353
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:50.679
<v Speaker 4>may already be able to, but it may open up

354
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:52.600
<v Speaker 4>a roster spot for him to get another backup in

355
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:56.120
<v Speaker 4>so they're not having to you know, utilize him. You know,

356
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.279
<v Speaker 4>they can put him on the IR for now and

357
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:01.480
<v Speaker 4>uh and bring in somebody else and that'll protect him

358
00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:04.440
<v Speaker 4>a little bit and protect him a little longer, all right.

359
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Last question for you, What is your favorite, if anything,

360
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:08.320
<v Speaker 2>about the Kentucky State Fair.

361
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

362
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:13.320
<v Speaker 4>Man, Uh, you know, I'm not a huge fair guy,

363
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:16.799
<v Speaker 4>to be honest, I think the Fair is awesome for

364
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:20.039
<v Speaker 4>those who like to go, But uh, I don't know

365
00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.200
<v Speaker 4>if I have one. I mean, I kind of if

366
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:24.320
<v Speaker 4>when we do go out there, I mean, you know,

367
00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:26.039
<v Speaker 4>I try to eat healthy, but I don't mind eating

368
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:26.759
<v Speaker 4>some of the weird.

369
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:29.399
<v Speaker 3>Junk just to check it check at the box.

370
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:30.639
<v Speaker 2>That's why a lot of people go.

371
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.399
<v Speaker 3>I feel like the donut burger.

372
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:35.639
<v Speaker 4>You don't know, it's actually I think it's pretty good.

373
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:38.559
<v Speaker 4>But some people can't stand him. But I like that sweet, savory,

374
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:40.240
<v Speaker 4>savory type thing.

375
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:43.960
<v Speaker 2>So well, you're the second guest in yesterday It was

376
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Kent Spencer from wjs S eleven. He I asked him

377
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:49.279
<v Speaker 2>a similar question. He mentioned that donut burger. I am

378
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:50.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna try it. I'm going to the Fair tomorrow. I've

379
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:52.919
<v Speaker 2>never had it. It just doesn't you know, to me,

380
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:55.120
<v Speaker 2>it just seems like he'd be so rich. But then again,

381
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:57.440
<v Speaker 2>it's been one of the more popular items at the

382
00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Fair for a long time, so it must be pretty good.

383
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:00.559
<v Speaker 2>I people keep get.

384
00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:02.840
<v Speaker 4>Pretty good, but I don't get it with anything, but

385
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:04.039
<v Speaker 4>I haven't had one in a long time.

386
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:06.119
<v Speaker 3>But I don't I don't do like the blood is tomato.

387
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:06.799

405
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:51.759

419
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:27.200
<v Speaker 2>right here on Sports Talk seven ninety lmfao, right correct.

420
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:29.799
<v Speaker 6>They had a very weird run back in the early

421
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:30.400
<v Speaker 6>twenty tens.

422
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:32.920
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, man, when they when was it this

423
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:33.680
<v Speaker 2>song that you know?

424
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:36.039
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, this is what really catapulted me. Yeah, a few

425
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:39.079
<v Speaker 6>other weird songs like I'm in Miami Bitch that came

426
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:41.519
<v Speaker 6>out in the early two thousands, but this is what

427
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:43.200
<v Speaker 6>really kind of billed them.

428
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean, gosh, it's so long ago too. And

429
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:47.119
<v Speaker 2>are they still like around?

430
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:49.480
<v Speaker 6>I don't think they are. I think both of the

431
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:52.160
<v Speaker 6>duo that is lmfao. I think they do their own

432
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:52.839
<v Speaker 6>things separately.

433
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Now yeah, man, I remember this was like the Jersey

434
00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Shore Show era, and I remember, like, I just remember

435
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.559
<v Speaker 2>not knowing what these dudes looked like. And then I

436
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:07.920
<v Speaker 2>saw them hanging out with like Snookie and Paulie D

437
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:11.000
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, okay, but yeah, they're like.

438
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:13.599
<v Speaker 6>I believe be wrong. I believe they were like in

439
00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:15.839
<v Speaker 6>their early forties whenever they kind of made it big.

440
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:17.279
<v Speaker 6>I could be wrong about that.

441
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:21.960
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't know, but yeah, I mean, like the so

442
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:24.640
<v Speaker 2>red Foo is one of the names.

443
00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:25.880
<v Speaker 6>And sky Blue is the other one.

444
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so yeah, I mean he's forty eight, now yeah,

445
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:32.119
<v Speaker 2>it checks out, so skyt and sky Blue is he's younger,

446
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:36.319
<v Speaker 2>he's thirty seven. But yeah, lmfao, shout out to them.

447
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:39.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe they're still active in the music scene.

448
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:41.400
<v Speaker 2>But man, when they were big, for a minute, they

449
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:44.359
<v Speaker 2>were big, it didn't last long, all right. I've got

450
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.920
<v Speaker 2>my fantasy football draft this weekend, John and I have

451
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:50.759
<v Speaker 2>not put any thought into like what I'm gonna do

452
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:54.440
<v Speaker 2>with my team. We actually have a keeper league, so

453
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:56.640
<v Speaker 2>like there's guys I can keep if I want. I

454
00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:59.880
<v Speaker 2>don't remember who's on my team, and it is sa

455
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.880
<v Speaker 2>like fantasy football I'm sure it's still huge with a

456
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:08.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of people, and daily fantasy is is you know,

457
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:11.319
<v Speaker 2>still technically fantasy, but like, man the sport, I feel

458
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:14.519
<v Speaker 2>like the sports betting craze that has just you know

459
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.200
<v Speaker 2>exploded in recent years to where in most states across

460
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:20.359
<v Speaker 2>the country you can now bet on games from your

461
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:22.880
<v Speaker 2>house on your phone. I just think it's made it

462
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:25.160
<v Speaker 2>to where fantasy football is not as big of a

463
00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:27.680
<v Speaker 2>priority for people, and that's kind of sad, Like I

464
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:32.160
<v Speaker 2>think there are so many in my league that it's

465
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:33.839
<v Speaker 2>not a priority as far as, like you know, they

466
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:35.480
<v Speaker 2>want to win. They're gonna set their roster, they're not

467
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:38.599
<v Speaker 2>gonna like just completely abandon their team and quit, but

468
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:43.880
<v Speaker 2>their Sunday is much more for what they're doing betting wise.

469
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:47.039
<v Speaker 2>And I'm I'm that's me. I'm I'm one of those

470
00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:49.119
<v Speaker 2>same people, Like I could care less what happens in

471
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:52.279
<v Speaker 2>my fantasy league. To be honest with you, I mean,

472
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:55.200
<v Speaker 2>I hate to say that, like I want to win,

473
00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:57.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna pay the fee, or'm gonna pay the league

474
00:20:57.119 --> 00:20:58.720
<v Speaker 2>to do and like I'm gonna try, but like I'm not

475
00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:00.960
<v Speaker 2>losing a whole lot of sleep if team gets beat

476
00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:04.720
<v Speaker 2>I'll be much more upset if my team ends up.

477
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:07.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'll be if my team that I bet

478
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:09.039
<v Speaker 2>on loses, because you know that's that's that's an act.

479
00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:11.200
<v Speaker 2>It's a it's a direct result, right, I bet on

480
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:12.799
<v Speaker 2>it if I went and I win or lose. In

481
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:15.279
<v Speaker 2>fantasy football, there's not as much of a weekly like

482
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:17.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, I mean, you win each week or lose

483
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:18.920
<v Speaker 2>each week. But you know, you know what I mean.

484
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:24.680
<v Speaker 2>But the draft, like these are my closest friends honestly

485
00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:26.680
<v Speaker 2>for like as long as I can remember. Like people

486
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:28.559
<v Speaker 2>I grew up with, people that I have known since

487
00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:32.039
<v Speaker 2>I was in like you know, elementary school. Now some

488
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:33.480
<v Speaker 2>of these people I'm still close with and talk to

489
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:34.960
<v Speaker 2>him just about every day. And there's some people that

490
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:36.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, moved away. I got a buddy, Chris, who

491
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:39.680
<v Speaker 2>now lives up in Ohio. He's coming back to h

492
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:42.240
<v Speaker 2>to be a part of the draft. Good buddy, Brad.

493
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:44.880
<v Speaker 2>He made the uh made the move not that long ago.

494
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:46.359
<v Speaker 2>I think he now lives Yeah, he lives in Lexing,

495
00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:47.920
<v Speaker 2>which is crazy because he's one of the biggest level

496
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:49.839
<v Speaker 2>fans I know. And then there's some others that we

497
00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:52.200
<v Speaker 2>just don't see as often. But like we're all gonna

498
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.000
<v Speaker 2>be together, and it's it has to be of everybody

499
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:58.480
<v Speaker 2>in this league. There's ten of us. I would, I

500
00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:03.160
<v Speaker 2>mean this an you day where we get together, we draft,

501
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:10.480
<v Speaker 2>we pound beers, we eat like you know, animals, pizza

502
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:14.359
<v Speaker 2>wings that I mentioned beer, like we just you know,

503
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:17.759
<v Speaker 2>we have a day and it's the only day every

504
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:20.680
<v Speaker 2>year we're all ten of those individuals who all of them,

505
00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:22.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we're all close. It's not like, oh we

506
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:24.400
<v Speaker 2>added a buddy that you don't know he's in the

507
00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:26.440
<v Speaker 2>league this year. Like we've all known each other for

508
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:32.160
<v Speaker 2>no joke, probably over twenty years. So I'm looking forward

509
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:35.799
<v Speaker 2>to it. But you know, it's a little it's not

510
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:37.880
<v Speaker 2>and it just makes me sad that like we're the

511
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:39.640
<v Speaker 2>draft is really the only reason we do it anymore.

512
00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:41.440
<v Speaker 2>But hey, I'll stay in this league until I die

513
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:45.240
<v Speaker 2>if it means every year I get one day with

514
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.680
<v Speaker 2>my closest friends for you know, for life, to where

515
00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:52.960
<v Speaker 2>we just you know, kids aren't there, our wives aren't there,

516
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:54.839
<v Speaker 2>and we love our wives and kids. But like it's

517
00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:58.440
<v Speaker 2>it's a day for the fellas and that's needed. So

518
00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:01.559
<v Speaker 2>I've got the six pick snake draft, so not liking

519
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:05.039
<v Speaker 2>my chances this year, I feel like I regret deciding

520
00:23:05.079 --> 00:23:08.880
<v Speaker 2>to take the uh that middle because I I think

521
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:11.319
<v Speaker 2>there's a benefit to doing, like to being the tenth pick,

522
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:13.640
<v Speaker 2>to where you get double picks each time, because if

523
00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:16.039
<v Speaker 2>you I feel like with the six pick and a

524
00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:19.319
<v Speaker 2>snake draft, my best bet is to just build a

525
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:23.000
<v Speaker 2>good team of like solid guys, but like I'm not getting,

526
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:27.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, an elite guy. And I've consistently been probably

527
00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:29.039
<v Speaker 2>the worst, if not one of the words I mean,

528
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:31.599
<v Speaker 2>I probably actually no, no, no, to think about it, I

529
00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:33.799
<v Speaker 2>have some self awareness. I'm the worst guy in our league.

530
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:35.839
<v Speaker 2>I have been for the last couple of years. There

531
00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:38.119
<v Speaker 2>was one year many years ago, and that's what's crazy

532
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:40.400
<v Speaker 2>is how long we've been doing this. There was a

533
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:44.119
<v Speaker 2>year that I finished like second or third, and I'm

534
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:45.720
<v Speaker 2>thinking there wasn't that long ago. That was ten years ago,

535
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:46.079
<v Speaker 2>I think.

536
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:47.200
<v Speaker 3>So.

537
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Anyways, I bring all this up not because I think

538
00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:52.759
<v Speaker 2>any of you give a flying rats ass about my

539
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:55.880
<v Speaker 2>fantasy football team, but a really good write up here

540
00:23:55.920 --> 00:24:00.400
<v Speaker 2>from USA Today's for the Wind blog where they give

541
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:02.759
<v Speaker 2>you these these are things that have gone viral on

542
00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:06.480
<v Speaker 2>the internet. TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, where there's non creative ideas

543
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:12.039
<v Speaker 2>for determining the fantasy football draft order. So this group here,

544
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:15.799
<v Speaker 2>it looks as if they did like a full on combine,

545
00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:18.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, like you see in the NFL where you're

546
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:22.519
<v Speaker 2>doing like you know you're doing. Let's see here, you've

547
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:24.480
<v Speaker 2>got like well, actually no, it's not like something in

548
00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:27.240
<v Speaker 2>the NFL like they do like a free throw shooting contest.

549
00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Actually no, I'm sorry. It's like you're timed right a

550
00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:35.480
<v Speaker 2>free throw and then you throw a football through a

551
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:40.200
<v Speaker 2>through a tire. Then you run and you make a putt.

552
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:42.039
<v Speaker 2>Here they have a pretty bad ass set up here.

553
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:44.000
<v Speaker 2>They got like a little putting green near their pool,

554
00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:46.960
<v Speaker 2>so you putt and then after you put it in,

555
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:50.640
<v Speaker 2>let's see what else they do here. It's actually pretty awesome.

556
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:57.039
<v Speaker 2>After you put you then run to cornhole and I

557
00:24:57.039 --> 00:25:00.359
<v Speaker 2>guess you have to make one in. I'm trying to

558
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:02.079
<v Speaker 2>see where this ends. How long does this last? You know,

559
00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:04.720
<v Speaker 2>this is terrible live radio, But I'm just I'm just

560
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:07.160
<v Speaker 2>now seeing the actual video of it for the first time.

561
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:09.960
<v Speaker 2>So again, a bunch of stuff like that, Right, make

562
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.880
<v Speaker 2>a basket, make a free throw, throw a football through

563
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:16.200
<v Speaker 2>a tire, make a putt knock one in corn hole,

564
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:19.359
<v Speaker 2>jump in the water and they're in ground pull. These

565
00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:21.960
<v Speaker 2>guys got it set up pretty fricking sweet. And then

566
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:24.000
<v Speaker 2>you swim to the end, you know, swim one, you

567
00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:25.839
<v Speaker 2>know one one. I don't know if it's a lab,

568
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:28.079
<v Speaker 2>but you swim, you know, from one end of the

569
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:30.160
<v Speaker 2>pool to the other. And then you get clocked to

570
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.160
<v Speaker 2>see how long you take. And again, fastest gets first pick,

571
00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:37.160
<v Speaker 2>last you know, last place finish ends up getting the

572
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:41.599
<v Speaker 2>last pick. That's pretty cool, right, Like that's creative. This

573
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:44.519
<v Speaker 2>let's see here, this is these are dudes that just

574
00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:47.960
<v Speaker 2>decided to straight up do a forty yard dash to

575
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:52.279
<v Speaker 2>determine like everybody's time. Let's say they got ten guys

576
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.279
<v Speaker 2>in the league fastest in the forty yard dash wins.

577
00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:56.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's not really like who would agree if

578
00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:58.759
<v Speaker 2>you know you're out of shape and you've got dudes

579
00:25:58.759 --> 00:26:00.440
<v Speaker 2>in your league that aren't like, why would you agree

580
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:03.720
<v Speaker 2>to let that be how the draft goes? Right? I

581
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:06.039
<v Speaker 2>mean that that could be a little unfair. Yeah, that

582
00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:09.279
<v Speaker 2>that to me seems uh, that to me seems seems

583
00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:12.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of silly. This is cool. So Bruce Buffer, one

584
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:14.440
<v Speaker 2>of the Buffer brothers, you know the guys who are

585
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:17.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, known for being the ring announcers for boxing

586
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:19.440
<v Speaker 2>and UFC and just you know, the amount of money

587
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:21.119
<v Speaker 2>these guys get to just come and announce, you know,

588
00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:24.119
<v Speaker 2>introduce people is pretty crazy. But apparently, uh he had

589
00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:26.440
<v Speaker 2>it set up. Bruce Buffer did on his cameo page

590
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:29.880
<v Speaker 2>where you you know, he'll take requests to film a

591
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:32.680
<v Speaker 2>special video for your fantasy football leagues. And I'm not

592
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:34.640
<v Speaker 2>sure if this video that I'm about to play it

593
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:37.480
<v Speaker 2>is of that, but he does include that he will

594
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:40.359
<v Speaker 2>he'll pick the order randomly and announce it like so,

595
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:43.119
<v Speaker 2>you're the suspense is there. You're on the edge of

596
00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:46.720
<v Speaker 2>your seat waiting for Bruce Buffer to deliver where you

597
00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:49.240
<v Speaker 2>ended up coming in in the draft.

598
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:56.200
<v Speaker 7>Hello of you in the Boston Hoggin Fantasy Footbally. Congratulations

599
00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:00.640
<v Speaker 7>to the chief for claiming the sp Trophy. Last here,

600
00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:06.480
<v Speaker 7>your draft order picks first through ten are Joe Buck yourself.

601
00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:11.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna turn that down because I don't know if

602
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:14.079
<v Speaker 2>some of these team names he's about to unveil are

603
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:18.160
<v Speaker 2>appropriate for for radio airwaves. But very close Joe Buck yourself.

604
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:20.759
<v Speaker 2>I like that that's not a bad fantasy football team name.

605
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:23.599
<v Speaker 2>What else do we have any other good ones here?

606
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:24.640
<v Speaker 3>Are we?

607
00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:28.480
<v Speaker 2>We? We always talk about the uh, the punishments that

608
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:30.440
<v Speaker 2>that are given out, those are those are pretty creative.

609
00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:31.920
<v Speaker 2>But this is again just as far as like how

610
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:33.880
<v Speaker 2>you determine the order of the draft.

611
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:34.680
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

612
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:36.799
<v Speaker 2>This has turned the last place punishment as a way

613
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:39.759
<v Speaker 2>to determine the draft order. So their fantasy football last

614
00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:43.680
<v Speaker 2>place last place punishment is a is a beer mile

615
00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:47.680
<v Speaker 2>four quarter mile laps, one beer before each lap. Everyone

616
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:51.079
<v Speaker 2>else bets on finishing time. Draft order is determined by

617
00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:56.240
<v Speaker 2>closest bets. That's pretty creative. Let's see any any any

618
00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:00.480
<v Speaker 2>any others out there? And apparently there is is a

619
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:05.279
<v Speaker 2>website called draft orders dot com that will will let

620
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:07.519
<v Speaker 2>you get creative as far as how you want to

621
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:12.160
<v Speaker 2>do it. But yeah, fantasy football, I think it's slowly

622
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:14.359
<v Speaker 2>but surely not dying. But like it's just to the

623
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:17.160
<v Speaker 2>common football fan. I feel like it's just now that

624
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:20.000
<v Speaker 2>people can bet on sports, there's just not as much

625
00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:24.519
<v Speaker 2>of fantasy football being a priority. But man again, I'll

626
00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:27.680
<v Speaker 2>do it forever if it keeps me able to have

627
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:30.079
<v Speaker 2>that one day a year where the fellas we have

628
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:35.440
<v Speaker 2>a day to ourselves. Funny story that actually maybe you

629
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:38.240
<v Speaker 2>guys won't think it's funny, but it's real and it

630
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:41.559
<v Speaker 2>happened years ago one of my and this is how

631
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:43.200
<v Speaker 2>long we've been. This is how long we've been in

632
00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:46.319
<v Speaker 2>this league together. Two of my friends that I grew

633
00:28:46.400 --> 00:28:50.160
<v Speaker 2>up with were married. Now they're not, but they were married,

634
00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:53.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, in the early stages of this league. And

635
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:57.240
<v Speaker 2>my buddy's wife and she's you know, I've known her

636
00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:00.480
<v Speaker 2>probably longer than I've known him. But she truly thought

637
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:05.200
<v Speaker 2>fantasy football meant that we get together and do like cosplay,

638
00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:08.680
<v Speaker 2>like we dress up like as as as fantasy football,

639
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:11.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean like she truly thought that it wasn't like

640
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:13.640
<v Speaker 2>a thing to be funny. Like when he would get

641
00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:16.359
<v Speaker 2>together to do the draft, she thought like, like, I

642
00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:18.960
<v Speaker 2>think he showed up on a Sunday from church, so

643
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:20.720
<v Speaker 2>he had his church clothes on, and she was like,

644
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:23.079
<v Speaker 2>how are you going to do your fantasy football in

645
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:25.480
<v Speaker 2>your church clothes? Honey? And like it was, I mean

646
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:29.400
<v Speaker 2>it was. It was crazy. Also, we had our draft

647
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:32.559
<v Speaker 2>one time at BEEFO. Brady's and we rented out like

648
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:34.200
<v Speaker 2>one of the party rooms, because they do that. Like

649
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:37.519
<v Speaker 2>that's it's actually probably a pretty profitable thing. I don't

650
00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:39.079
<v Speaker 2>know if it's super profitab but it's probably a good

651
00:29:39.079 --> 00:29:40.359
<v Speaker 2>way to get people in the doors there, right, a

652
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:42.880
<v Speaker 2>big group of ten to twelve people, twenty people maybe

653
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:45.680
<v Speaker 2>for a draft. That's good for business. So they'll put they'll,

654
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:47.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, if you want to do your draft there,

655
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:49.039
<v Speaker 2>they'll give you sheets and all that, and they'll they'll

656
00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:50.759
<v Speaker 2>welcome you to come in because you know, they want

657
00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:53.039
<v Speaker 2>that's a big bill for a party of ten to

658
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:59.039
<v Speaker 2>twelve or maybe even more than that. But anyhow, we

659
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:01.519
<v Speaker 2>had a guy that you know, just showed up, sat

660
00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:04.200
<v Speaker 2>down in our room, and like he was in there

661
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:06.319
<v Speaker 2>for I don't know, five ten minutes something like that

662
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:08.920
<v Speaker 2>before he realized he was in the wrong draft. And

663
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:11.200
<v Speaker 2>we're like, might know that guy, Like we had a

664
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:13.079
<v Speaker 2>new player is just like, you know, what do we

665
00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:14.279
<v Speaker 2>what do we know? What do we? What are we

666
00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:17.880
<v Speaker 2>doing here? But anyways, real quick, I got to play

667
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:19.759
<v Speaker 2>this before we go to break because I remember the

668
00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:21.839
<v Speaker 2>fan you know, the fantasy football thing where like again

669
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:23.799
<v Speaker 2>I just mentioned my buddy's wife, thought like we dressed

670
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:25.680
<v Speaker 2>up as football players and acted like we you know,

671
00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:28.839
<v Speaker 2>a fantasy we were fantasy football players. Quite literally never

672
00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:31.640
<v Speaker 2>reminded me of the time Ted, the legendary caller from

673
00:30:31.640 --> 00:30:35.920
<v Speaker 2>the Afternoon Underdogs, called in when John Bowle was guest hosting,

674
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:38.960
<v Speaker 2>and man, that was I mean, this is you know,

675
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:42.480
<v Speaker 2>this is, in my opinion, one of the best moments

676
00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:46.240
<v Speaker 2>in sports radio history. Here in Louisville, John Bowl and

677
00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Ted talking fantasy football, among other things.

678
00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:51.680
<v Speaker 3>He said, how you doing seven ninety wkr D.

679
00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:55.960
<v Speaker 6>We've been getting a poll today, getting a survey. But

680
00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:58.039
<v Speaker 6>do you want to weigh in on this fantasy football thing?

681
00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:01.440
<v Speaker 8>Well, I love Paul and I love fantasy so bring it,

682
00:31:01.519 --> 00:31:06.039
<v Speaker 8>bring it to me. And I have to say, John,

683
00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:11.000
<v Speaker 8>your hair is magnificent. I'll watch you every morning. And

684
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:15.920
<v Speaker 8>it's no Chris McGill. He is definitely the most underrated,

685
00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:21.400
<v Speaker 8>underrated entertainer in the land with the best hair. Nobody

686
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:25.119
<v Speaker 8>brings up Chris. But I'm all asked away.

687
00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:27.079
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I don't know that this is miners or not.

688
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:28.519
<v Speaker 6>He's on the air somewhere else.

689
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Okay, why don't you Okay, why don't you tell

690
00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:35.079
<v Speaker 1>me fantasy football or no?

691
00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:36.200
<v Speaker 6>Do do you play it?

692
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:37.039
<v Speaker 8>Do you like it?

693
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:39.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Why why do you still play it?

694
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:44.240
<v Speaker 8>Well, I'm to be honest, with you. I almost got

695
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:46.960
<v Speaker 8>our league this year because it does get Oh sometimes

696
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:50.119
<v Speaker 8>you have to just you know, throw something in there different.

697
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:52.960
<v Speaker 8>This year, we're going to dress up as some of

698
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:55.440
<v Speaker 8>the players this year when we are.

699
00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:57.920
<v Speaker 3>Man.

700
00:31:57.960 --> 00:31:59.440
<v Speaker 2>I missed Ed. I love that.

701
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:01.759
<v Speaker 6>I've heard that a couple of times. But that's good.

702
00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Ted would call in and flirt with Tony and it

703
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:09.319
<v Speaker 2>it was, it was, I mean, it just made me.

704
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:11.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean I remember as a listener before I worked

705
00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:14.720
<v Speaker 2>in radio, certainly before I worked here, and you know

706
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:16.319
<v Speaker 2>he Ted's a legend.

707
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:21.759
<v Speaker 5>Dan Towny, I am really scared that Kentucky is gonna

708
00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:25.960
<v Speaker 5>go forty and oh and I just wish you would

709
00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:30.559
<v Speaker 5>hold me close to your zone and rub my feathered

710
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:34.319
<v Speaker 5>hair with your slimmering bipets and tell me everything is

711
00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:37.799
<v Speaker 5>gonna be okay because Walmart is gonna be unhearable.

712
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:43.039
<v Speaker 2>Shut out to Ted if you're listening, I'm not.

713
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not.

714
00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:45.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm not fishing for, you know, to be your next

715
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:48.279
<v Speaker 2>Tony because I could never live up to it, because

716
00:32:48.319 --> 00:32:50.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, Tony's got those European thighs.

717
00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:55.920
<v Speaker 5>John Daveed unless I have a comment on Kyle wheelchair, I.

718
00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:59.880
<v Speaker 8>Mean his his lower body is not what needs lad

719
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:01.480
<v Speaker 8>I mean is his arms.

720
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:05.200
<v Speaker 5>They look like Popeye's wife arms, but his lower body.

721
00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:08.480
<v Speaker 5>It kind of reminds me a lot of like how

722
00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:13.279
<v Speaker 5>you have been, Tony, because you're you have very European thighs.

723
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Very European thighs on Tony Vinetti. All right, quick break,

724
00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:24.559
<v Speaker 2>don't go anywhere. People want more Ted and I get it.

725
00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Ted was great. I mean, I say, like he's dead.

726
00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:27.720
<v Speaker 2>He's not dead. I hope he's not dead, but he

727
00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:30.319
<v Speaker 2>hasn't called in a long time. But that was good stuff.

728
00:33:31.160 --> 00:33:32.480
<v Speaker 2>I could listen to it all day. But we will

729
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:34.799
<v Speaker 2>move on. We're going to talk some serious college football

730
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:37.640
<v Speaker 2>coming up here in about fifteen minutes. We're going to

731
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:40.599
<v Speaker 2>be joined by the one, the only, mister Zack Barnett

732
00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:42.880
<v Speaker 2>of Football Scoop gonna get his thoughts on a variety

733
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:44.799
<v Speaker 2>of things as we get closer and closer. As I've

734
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:47.359
<v Speaker 2>been saying throughout the entire show today, this is our

735
00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:50.559
<v Speaker 2>last weekend without college football, and that makes me very

736
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:53.759
<v Speaker 2>very excited. All right, So again I've talked about it

737
00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:57.519
<v Speaker 2>here and there that I find myself having to kind

738
00:33:57.519 --> 00:33:59.480
<v Speaker 2>of put myself in check when it comes to like

739
00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:02.640
<v Speaker 2>being a whole because I don't think Louisville's being disrespected.

740
00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:09.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that Louisville is, you know, being overlooked

741
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:10.840
<v Speaker 2>in a major way. I mean, they're not out, they're

742
00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:13.639
<v Speaker 2>not ranked, and they're right outside. They're technically you know,

743
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:17.039
<v Speaker 2>they're the first place team of the unranked teams. Right

744
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:19.320
<v Speaker 2>because they're the first team, they have the most votes

745
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:22.559
<v Speaker 2>for teams that are that are not ranked, and that's

746
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:25.360
<v Speaker 2>honestly a little bit fair. However, there's at least one

747
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:29.880
<v Speaker 2>person who covers college football Pro Football Focuses, Max Chadwick.

748
00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:33.039
<v Speaker 2>He believes Louisville is the biggest snub from the from

749
00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:36.679
<v Speaker 2>the A people, which hey, you know, you know, as mentioned,

750
00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:38.559
<v Speaker 2>you know who cares. But one of the things that

751
00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:41.440
<v Speaker 2>does kind of have me triggered a little bit to

752
00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:43.159
<v Speaker 2>kind of feel like, okay, no, wait a second, maybe

753
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:46.239
<v Speaker 2>they are being disrespected is when I see other ACC

754
00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:51.199
<v Speaker 2>teams ranked ahead of them n C State, I at

755
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:55.159
<v Speaker 2>least get because Dave Dorian, I mean, he's he's a

756
00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:59.199
<v Speaker 2>good coach and they do bring back, you know, a

757
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:03.559
<v Speaker 2>pretty good crew from a team last year that won

758
00:35:03.719 --> 00:35:05.960
<v Speaker 2>eight sorry nine games that were nine and four, six

759
00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:07.440
<v Speaker 2>and two in the league. Louisville was one of the

760
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:09.960
<v Speaker 2>only two teams that beat them, and they got better

761
00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:12.159
<v Speaker 2>at quarterback. They got Grayson McCall, the guy who played

762
00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:15.639
<v Speaker 2>at Coastal Carolina for quite some time. And what's wild

763
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:17.800
<v Speaker 2>is that n C State, if you remember, they won

764
00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:21.599
<v Speaker 2>with bad quarterback play, Like they actually had a good

765
00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:25.000
<v Speaker 2>year last year despite bad quarterbacks, right, I mean they

766
00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:27.360
<v Speaker 2>The quarterback they put out there when Louisvill played him

767
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:31.000
<v Speaker 2>was awful. And then do you guys remember this, I'd

768
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:37.039
<v Speaker 2>forgot all about this. They had a quarterback who was

769
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:41.679
<v Speaker 2>thrown in there because of an injury, and he started MJ. Morris.

770
00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:45.400
<v Speaker 2>He ended up being thrown out there as a young

771
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:46.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he was a freshman, but he'd

772
00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:49.639
<v Speaker 2>never never played before. But he started four games for

773
00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:51.960
<v Speaker 2>NC State last year and they were winning. He looked

774
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:56.199
<v Speaker 2>like the future, but he decided to just transfer mid season.

775
00:35:56.199 --> 00:35:58.639
<v Speaker 2>You met that story at all, John guy, young quarterback

776
00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:01.159
<v Speaker 2>comes out, Do you remember that, and he just decided, Ya,

777
00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:04.800
<v Speaker 2>thanks for letting me utilize the reps here and really

778
00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:07.039
<v Speaker 2>show that I'm good, But now I'm out. Yeah, it

779
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:07.920
<v Speaker 2>was a little just.

780
00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:09.599
<v Speaker 6>Like Shady's the right word but it felt like he

781
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:11.239
<v Speaker 6>was just taking advantage of him, and it was.

782
00:36:11.719 --> 00:36:15.440
<v Speaker 2>A I mean, it was a reminder of hey, this

783
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:18.079
<v Speaker 2>is a different ballgame. Now they guys can do this,

784
00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:19.360
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. So like you just have

785
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:22.079
<v Speaker 2>to be you know, commitments and loyalty, all that stuff

786
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:24.920
<v Speaker 2>south the window. So you know, they had a good

787
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:28.000
<v Speaker 2>year despite all that going on, and yet they got

788
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:30.760
<v Speaker 2>better at quarterback because again Grayson McCall, I mean from

789
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Coastal Carolina. He's a three time sun Belt Player of

790
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:36.280
<v Speaker 2>the Year. So I don't think they're gonna be great. Well,

791
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:38.199
<v Speaker 2>we don't have to play them this year, but I

792
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:40.559
<v Speaker 2>can at least understan why they're getting some love. But Miami,

793
00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Like how long can Miami keep this going on? How

794
00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:50.840
<v Speaker 2>long can Miami continue to show every year that their

795
00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:56.800
<v Speaker 2>ceiling is not high? I mean, Miami, you know they

796
00:36:56.880 --> 00:36:58.639
<v Speaker 2>they had a great run long long ago, but like,

797
00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:01.239
<v Speaker 2>how often have we heard about the U is the

798
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:04.360
<v Speaker 2>U back And I don't know if that's ever gonna happen,

799
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Like Miami, Like, how many years have we I mean,

800
00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Miami's had many years where they were six wins, seven wins,

801
00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:13.239
<v Speaker 2>sometimes they weren't even less than that. And they've never

802
00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:16.400
<v Speaker 2>not had talent, right, Like, talent's never been a problem

803
00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:19.239
<v Speaker 2>for Miami ever. And that's the same thing as being

804
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:22.119
<v Speaker 2>said this year. And yet they're coming off of a

805
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:26.280
<v Speaker 2>seven and six season, three and five in the ACC,

806
00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:29.360
<v Speaker 2>a league that nobody respects, right, I mean, let's be real,

807
00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:31.119
<v Speaker 2>the ACC doesn't get dead and get a whole lot

808
00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:33.480
<v Speaker 2>of respect. Miami went three and five in that league

809
00:37:33.559 --> 00:37:37.920
<v Speaker 2>last year, and yet they're once again a preseason top

810
00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:41.559
<v Speaker 2>twenty team, Like people continue to believe in Miami when

811
00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:45.599
<v Speaker 2>Miami has consistently shown you that, like the you being back,

812
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:50.199
<v Speaker 2>meaning like you know, in regards to national championship contenders,

813
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:54.119
<v Speaker 2>that's not real life, guys, it's just not. I mean,

814
00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:56.320
<v Speaker 2>when Jimmy Johnson was there in the eighties, they were rolling. Obviously,

815
00:37:56.360 --> 00:38:00.239
<v Speaker 2>Schnellenberger did a phenomenal job there, and then they were

816
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:05.639
<v Speaker 2>unbelievable and the early two thousands with Larry Koker. But

817
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:09.679
<v Speaker 2>like you know, Randy Shannon on Miami's ceiling is not

818
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:14.639
<v Speaker 2>like not elite. Mark Rick was there in twenty seventeen.

819
00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:17.320
<v Speaker 2>In fact, Mark Rick was there for three years and

820
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:19.679
<v Speaker 2>they were good under Mark Rick nine and four and

821
00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:21.679
<v Speaker 2>then they were really good in the second season when

822
00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:23.800
<v Speaker 2>they went ten and three, and that's when it felt like, okay,

823
00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:26.239
<v Speaker 2>the U might be might be back because Mark Rick's

824
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:27.360
<v Speaker 2>a good coach. But then of course she had to

825
00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:30.440
<v Speaker 2>step down because of health issues. That following season they underachieved,

826
00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:33.360
<v Speaker 2>went seven and six and four and four. That was

827
00:38:33.360 --> 00:38:36.400
<v Speaker 2>when actually the turnover chain debuted for Miami. That was

828
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:38.599
<v Speaker 2>that was a lot of fun. But like under Many

829
00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Diaz six and seven, eight and three, seven and five,

830
00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Crystal Ball five and seven, seven and six, like they

831
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:48.280
<v Speaker 2>may be a good team, good enough team to you know,

832
00:38:48.360 --> 00:38:50.880
<v Speaker 2>make a Bowl game again, have a winning record in

833
00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:54.559
<v Speaker 2>the league, But like people who still put them in

834
00:38:54.599 --> 00:38:56.639
<v Speaker 2>the top twenty every year and look at them as

835
00:38:56.679 --> 00:39:00.360
<v Speaker 2>a potential, Oh, they could be back this year based

836
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:03.400
<v Speaker 2>off what I mean, the formula's kind of been the

837
00:39:03.400 --> 00:39:07.920
<v Speaker 2>same for them for decades now, and their ceiling is yeah, okay,

838
00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:11.119
<v Speaker 2>maybe borderline ranked team. And yet and I don't know,

839
00:39:11.760 --> 00:39:13.880
<v Speaker 2>think Kim Ward he's got a chance to be a

840
00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:15.880
<v Speaker 2>special quarterback for them. He can throw it all over

841
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:18.920
<v Speaker 2>the field. He's got a crazy resume as far as stats.

842
00:39:19.800 --> 00:39:21.960
<v Speaker 2>But like they're getting the benefit of the doubt when

843
00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:24.199
<v Speaker 2>they've proven not to be worthy of it, Whereas I

844
00:39:24.199 --> 00:39:26.000
<v Speaker 2>feel like Louisville is coming off a ten win season

845
00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:29.760
<v Speaker 2>and a good coach and another great haul on the

846
00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:32.639
<v Speaker 2>transfer portal, and people still just assume Miami is going

847
00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:34.880
<v Speaker 2>to be better. When Miami lost to Louisville last year

848
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:39.239
<v Speaker 2>at home, fires me up. John, all right, we'll talk

849
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:40.719
<v Speaker 2>some more football coming up here. On the other side,

850
00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:42.960
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna be joined by Zack Barnett of football Scoop.

851
00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:46.599
<v Speaker 2>Five o'clock hour on a Friday. Let's have some fun, folks,
