SportsTranscript
00:00Shane Steichen, right, of the Colts, like, honestly, don't get me started on Richardson
00:10or Flacco.
00:12I get he's young and super talented, super athletic and everything else, fantastic skill,
00:19all the rest.
00:20Flacco's better.
00:21Yeah, look, Flacco got the Colts to, what, three and three this past week.
00:29He beat the Steelers.
00:30He almost beat the Jaguars that game with the comeback when Richardson got hurt again.
00:34He should have won that game.
00:35He deserved it in that game.
00:38Then he beat the Titans on the road on Sunday, so he's played well the last few weeks, but
00:43Anthony Richardson, according to Steichen, is finally healthy, and listen, it is what
00:48it is.
00:49He's going to start on Sunday.
00:50I want to make sure he's 100%.
00:51That's really what went into the decision.
00:54He's really close.
00:56He's really close.
00:57That's why we had him as our third, you know, emergency quarterback, but he should be, you
01:01know, looking really good this week.
01:03Obviously, Flacco's a really good player, been playing good ball for us, but when Anthony's
01:08healthy, he's our quarterback.
01:10He sounded like he was on the toilet.
01:13Like, what was that?
01:14I don't know what he said.
01:15I have no idea what he said.
01:17All I know is, I don't care.
01:19Flacco is the reason they win.
01:22He is unbelievable.
01:24You know what Flacco reminds me of?
01:26NFL films, old highlights of great quarterbacks that could throw dimes like Terry Bradshaw.
01:33Remember the passes that Terry Bradshaw used to throw to Stallworth and Swan?
01:38These beautiful dimes out of the sky in the, you know, the super slow-mo NFL films with,
01:44you know, and the autumn winds, and they'd show the ball coming out of the sky in a perfect
01:50spiral, whipping around 100 miles an hour into the guy's hands like a bread basket.
01:55Joe Flacco throws passes just like that.
01:58Anthony Richardson throws, you know, ducks.
02:03He does.
02:04He throws ducks.
02:05He obviously can move around a lot better than Flacco.
02:08I don't care.
02:09He gets injured too much, too, on top of that.
02:12Always hurt.
02:13The Colts this week are home to face the Dolphins, who are coming off of a bye.
02:19Colts minus three, 44 and a half here early in the week.
02:23I did see McDaniel yesterday talking about Tua, saying he does expect him to come back this year,
02:29just does not know when that is going to be.
02:32So we'll be doing that again.
02:34The story that you're going to hear every week.
02:37And have another concussion.
02:39That's what no one likes.
02:40No one likes to bring it up except I do because it's inevitable.
02:43It's inevitable.
02:44The bet should not be on the game.
02:47It should have it on all the sports books.
02:50How many games will he last before he has another concussion?
02:53There should be an over-under on games played for him without a concussion because he's not going to last.
03:01Okay?
03:02So here's the other thing.
03:03That team is, you know, I know they beat the Patriots or whatever, but they have talent.
03:08They have guys that can flat-out play football.
03:11They've had bad luck with A-chan, right?
03:14They've had Mo Stern, all these guys, you know, with injuries.
03:18But the reality is they have great receivers.
03:21They have talented backs.
03:24They don't have a quarterback unless he plays.
03:26And then when he plays, he won't last.
03:28So they're a problem, in my view, with betting.
03:33Like they get in the way of bets.
03:36I think the Colts are better than them.
03:38But I don't trust the Colts with Richardson against that team
03:43because that team can cover bets with their talent.
03:46They have talent.
03:48They do have talent.
03:49To me, the Dolphins were a playoff team that lost their star quarterback and it ruined their season.
03:55But they're still scheduled to play every Sunday.
03:58They play football games.
03:59So they have to go out and play.
04:01And they get in the way of betting.
04:03They do because they're decent.
04:05They have talent.
04:06They can cover.
04:07They can win.
04:08They can win games pounding the rock.
04:11I cannot believe that Snoopy, or whatever they call him, can't throw some passes.
04:17Is that his name, Snoopy?
04:18What do they call him?
04:19Snoop Huntley.
04:20Snoop Huntley.
04:21There's only one Snoop.
04:23We might as well believe.
04:25I played with him the other day, you and I.
04:27It was the greatest thing that's ever happened to me in my life, that slot machine.
04:29I have never played a slot machine where you actually saw a guy smoking 400-pound doobies every time I won money.
04:37The greatest thing that's ever happened to me.
04:40I think that off of a bye, a long time for McDaniel and Huntley to get together,
04:46I think you'll probably see him a little bit more involved in the offense throwing the football this week in that game against the Colts.
04:53I would have to think.
04:54Do you think the Dolphins could upset the Colts in Lucas Oil?
04:57Yes, I don't think the Colts are that good.
04:59So I think it absolutely could happen.
05:02That's for sure.
