Colts Triumph in Berlin: Taylor's Record-Breaking Day
In a thrilling overtime showdown in Berlin, the Indianapolis Colts emerged victorious against the Atlanta Falcons, powered by Jonathan Taylor's historic performance. The star running back shattered franchise records with a jaw-dropping 244 yards and three touchdowns, including an electrifying 83-yard breakaway run that turned the tide in the fourth quarter.
Despite Daniel Jones facing intense pressure throughout the game, taking seven sacks and struggling with ball security, the Colts found ways to win when it mattered most. Rookie sensation Tyler Warren continued his impressive campaign, hauling in eight catches for 99 yards and providing crucial blocks in key moments.
Timestamps and Key Takeaways:
- 2:15 - Jonathan Taylor breaks Edgerrin James' franchise touchdown record with his 66th career rushing TD
- 8:40 - Offensive line concerns as Daniel Jones has been sacked 12 times in the last two games
- 17:30 - Tyler Warren making a case as the NFL's best tight end despite his rookie status
- 25:45 - The Colts' bye week comes at perfect timing to address protection issues
- 32:10 - Looking ahead to a challenging post-bye schedule featuring the Chiefs
- 38:25 - Indiana football's incredible season continues with Omar Cooper's spectacular game-winning catch against Penn State
The Colts head into their bye week with an impressive 8-2 record, tied for best in the AFC alongside the surprising Patriots and Broncos. While concerns about the offensive line and Daniel Jones' ball security need addressing, this team has proven they can win even without their best stuff. With the Chiefs looming after the bye, this break comes at the perfect time for Shane Steichen's squad to regroup and prepare for a championship push.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
(00:00 - 14:10) - The Pacers won their first game of the season. The Pacers displayed some tremendous offensive ability last night, winning against the Wizards 143 - 120. Defense may still need a little improvement. Tyreese Haliburton slipped in front of NBA Commissioner Adam Silver last night. The Colts games coming up may not be relevant nationally right now, but winning the next two games makes their remaining games very important.
(14:11 - 24:46) - Morning Checkdown
(24:47 - 47:46) - A hybrid field has been installed in Frankfort, Germany for the two NFL games coming up. KB and Andy discuss whether or not some of the players don't have a passport. More Pacers talk regarding the depth of the bench and just how many rotations this team could possibly have. The Pacers have several players coming off the bench who were 20-point scorers starting for them last year. Pittman audio responding to his comments from the Colts loss last Sunday.
(47:47 - 1:18:26) - Andy goes off on the Chicago Bull's "players only meeting" after losing just one game in the NBA season. Jordan Poole isn't going to get the same quality looks he had with the Washington Wiards like he had in Golden State. Colts are 1 - 9 in last 10 home games. Half of those games they lost by a single point. The Colts defense is handing some backup quarterbacks some wins this season. Will there be some changes in the Defensive line coaching after this season?
(1:18:27 - 1:33:32) - Scott Agness of the Indiana Pacers Fieldhouse Files joins the show. He runs down the good and bad he saw in the team last night. The Pacers only had two turnovers in the second half. Agness notices that the Pacers are even trying to make moves on the court during dead balls. Roy Hibbert and Rik Smits were in the arena last night. Agness gives his preview of how the Pacers and Cleveland Cavaliers will match up when they tip off later this week. He wonders why TJ McConnell and Daniel Theis weren't getting minutes. A quick discussion on news with the All-Star game in Indianapolis later this year.
(1:33:33 - 1:37:05) - Touch and go segment. Some players the Colts could try and target in trades. Halloween Bracketology.
(1:37:06 - 2:02:38) - Andy defends one of Jim Irsay's latest Tweets. Irsay acknowledged that the Colts got the short end of the stick in their last game on Sunday and believes that all plays under two minutes should be open to review. Kevin recalls the Colts being ignored by the NFL on primetime for multiple years. If the Colts lose the next couple of games, how can they make the rest of the season mean something.
(2:02:39 - 2:15:43) - Jason Hammer joins the show to talk about more sports betting picks. The "Gambling Degenerate" wants to take the over in the Penn State vs. IU game this weekend. "Live betting is like watching the stock ticker." Hammer gives bets for Thursday Night Football saying that Buffalo might have a breakout game, he's taking the Bill -9. This week's "Degenerate Special" deals with the Georgia Southern vs. Georgia State game. He thinks the offense could lead Georgia Southern to a win.

(00:00 - 16:48) - A blow to the Colts position in the AFC South as the Jacksonville Jaguars won their Thursday Night Football match against the New Orleans Saints last night. Sunday's game between Indianapolis and Cleveland is dubbed the "puberty game" by Kevin. Buckner and Stewart have not played many games without each other, how that will impact the defense. Jonathan Taylor played the "it was the media" card in reference to his offseason drama.
(16:49 - 22:13) - Morning Checkdown
(22:14 - 42:26) - What ways will the Colts be able to surprise this Cleveland defense. The Browns have a generational defense that will require the team to find some unique ways to score. The Colts have not turned the ball over in any of their wins this season. Andy is crunching the numbers and listing the statistics this show instead of Kevin. KB thinks that at 3 - 3 the Colts still have a handful of opportunities to be a playoff team. Memories of Peyton Manning's return to Lucas Oil Stadium as a Denver Bronco was 10 years ago.
(42:27 - 1:14:25) - Greg Rakestraw of the ISC Network and The Fan's Soccer Saturday joins the program. He opens with his memories of Peyton Manning's return to Indy 10 years ago. Rakestraw believes that the Colts game on Sunday is pivotal to the goal for the rest of the season. High School Football playoffs begin tonight and Rakestraw will have the call on Greenfield-Central vs. Pendleton Heights. Greenfield wants to win their first sectional since the 70's. Big early matchups for Sectionals as multiple 9 - 0 teams will be facing off.
(1:14:26 - 1:27:21) - Indianapolis's own Tucker Barnhart, a catcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers triple-A affiliate, the Oklahoma City Dodgers, calls in to the program.

(1:31:47 - 1:57:12) - Will Carroll joins The Wake Up Call to talk about Richardson's surgery and potential recovery time. He says some of the surgeons consulted would use what is called a "Tight Rope" technique. Would Richardson have needed surgery if he was either left handed or played a different position?

(00:00 - 13:46) - The Wake-Up Call begins on Wednesday with the Grover Stewart news that he has been suspended for six games following a violation of the NFL's banned substance policy.

Will there be a trickle-down effect on the rest of the defensive team with Stewart's absence.
(13:47 - 21:25) - Morning Checkdown
(21:26 - 43:41) - NFL owners voted to move the ability to interview coaches currently employed in the NFL until after the Divisional round of the playoffs. College or unemployed coach interviews were not impacted. The Colts made some roster moves in response to the Grover Stewart news. The team just continues to lose their top talent week after week for a variety of reasons and there isn't really anyone on the roster to get fans excited for their replacement. One caller on if the Colts should have signed Julio Jones.
(43:42 - 1:15:52) - Stephen Holder of The Athletic joins the show and gives his initial thoughts on the Grover Stewart situation. He was surprised by the news as he says most of these announcements are never expected. Holder interviewed Jim Irsay earlier in the week and got the story on Anthony Richardson likely being out for the year. Holder asked Irsay about some parallels between this injury and the Andrew Luck situation. Would Richardson getting surgery by the end of October mean he could be a part of the full offseason program next year?
(1:15:53 - 1:25:06) - Browns and Colts are looking like it might be an ugly game on Sunday. The over/under is set in the teens. Cleveland doesn't really turn the ball over on defense, but they manage to get a lot of 3-and-outs in the first part of the season. Andy loves Myles Garrett.

(00:00 - 13:11) - Tuesday's WUC opens to sad news as Anthony Richardson is done for the season as surgery seems to be the way the team will be going. It still isn't a 100% certainty but Jim Irsay said in interviews yesterday that Richardson will likely be out for the season. The news coming out of the Colts Camp seems to be a bummer for the past week. Some clips from head coach Shane Steichen about Richardson needing surgery.

He also had a variety of different kinds of injuries.
(40:33 - 1:11:44) - Pacers head-coach Rick Carlisle joins the show. Coach Carlisle actually had the chance to meet Colts head-coach Shane Steichen before the football season began.

Coach goes into detail about all the news draft picks and new signees, how they have performed up to expectations. The team has been picking up their 3-point shooting this pre-season. They are shooting 48 a game compared to the mid 30's last season.
(1:11:45 - 1:21:50) - Is Shane Steichen going to change up the gameplan for the Colts next game? Less passing and more running. Steichen is always first to blame the coaching rather than the players. How much does that actually help the team though?
(1:21:51 - 1:31:33) - More discussion over Stephen Holder's interview with Jim Irsay from last night. Irsay revealed that things are most likely leaning toward Richardson getting surgery but talks are ongoing. Talk turns to what are the other pieces that Indianapolis needs to address to turn this team into a championship contender. Several other players like Pittman are in a contract year, what can the Colts do if they want to keep him.
(1:31:34 - 2:00:14) - Nate Atkins of the Indianapolis Star joins The Wake Up Call to discuss his story covering Michael Pittman Jr. and his reaction to Jonathan Taylor's new contract.

Given the Colts current injury concerns are they at risk of over spending on other position players in the short term. Atkins talks about how Richardson hasn't had time to fully develop a passing game. The Colts need to balance not bringing him back too soon, with teaching him how to stay healthy on the field. Which is a big ask for a 21-year-old rookie.

(00:00 - 15:51) - The show opens with a recap of the Colts horrific loss to the Jacksonvill Jaguars on Sunday. Kevin says he thinks that Minshew really wanted to prove himself in this game and then had a very out of character performance. Minshew threw 4 interceptions in the game. The Colts didn't seem to match the intensity that should have been there for a rematch against a divisional opponent you lost to at home earlier in the season.
(15:52 - 21:55) - Morning Checkdown
(21:56 - 41:31) - Colts special teams did not help their case yesterday. Andy says that Indianapolis has a small margin of error in their games and when your offense is struggling every other factor of your game counts. Kevin thinks that Minshew really starts to limit the offense with his abilities.
(41:32 - 1:11:34) - Kevin found himself asking "why" more than "how" yesterday with a lot of the Colts play calling. Andy compares the amount of passes Minshew threw to a radio host who gets all his info out in the first segment. Minshew has played for multiple colleges and multiple NFL teams already in his professional career. He is the kind of player to have a chip on his shoulder. The guys start to take some calls about how one dimensional the Colts offense has become without Richardson.
(1:11:35 - 1:22:25) - Kevin went to the Butler bowl on Saturday to catch some Bulldogs football. Anthony Richardson has really only played a handful of segments before potentially getting injured for the year. If Richardson sitting out due to surgery keeps him healthier for longer then Colts fans should embrace the possiblity of him getting surgery.
(1:22:26 - 1:29:27) - Another caller chimes in and poses if it's time for the Colts to tank again and just try to get another quarterback because of Anthony Richardon's injury history. Kevin says there is a chance the Colts may have to look at that possibility while Andy thinks that it isn't worth the thought at this point.
(1:29:28 - 1:56:03) - Andy begins the third hour by saying that no team really feels like the dominant NFL team this season. Everyone seems open to losses which is what makes the Richardson injury hurt so much. Did Minshew let the pressure of playing for his former team get to him? Steichen's play calling was questionable yesterday. The Colts face one of the best defenses in the league next week against the Cleveland Browns. The Jacksonville game took the wind out of the Colts sails several times with the interceptions.
(1:56:04 - 2:05:34) - Fan Reactions of The Game.

(1:11:36 - 1:27:20) - From one guest to another as James Boyd of the Athletic calls in to discuss more Colts football.

(20:36 - 40:30) - More Jonathan Taylor audio after he is involved in his first full practice of the season. Marc gives a memory of Dick Butkus. Andy says that Taylor really had no other option but to talk about injuries since every other route he took in the offseason did not pan out. The way Taylor's situation played out is a win for NFL higher ups.
(40:31 - 1:09:38) - Greg Rakestraw is in for his Friday spot. Rakestraw says that whatever they can get from Jonathan Taylor is going to make them better, be it 5, 10, or 20 snaps. Greg says Taylor's best option is to play football no matter what so he can get paid by someone. Colts should keep their focus with him on the short term. Rakestraw thinks Taylor will play in a limited capacity this Sunday. The Colts are slightly spoiled with the quality of play that Zack Moss and Anthony Richardson have provided the team this season. Callers to round out the segment.
(1:09:39 - 1:28:17) - Jared Stillman of Nashville's 102.5 The Game, joins the show to give the Tennessee perspective on the Colts/Titans matchup coming up on Sunday. Stillman is a big fan of Anthony Richardson and thinks the Titans should have gone after him. The Titans primary problem, according to Stillman, is that they give up too many big plays on defense. They are worried about Richardson being able to burst out a big touchdown run. Stillman says the Colts are "a bit of a bozo franchise" to outsiders looking into the organization. The Colts seem to be overrated every year heading into the season according to Stillman.

DeForest Buckner being on a limited pitch count might have really hurt the Colt's defense last week, his importance to the defense is being shown. Taylor thinks that the game between Indianapolis and Tennessee is going to be physical. A quick talk about the documentary covering the Colts comeback against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

(00:00 - 28:12) - The show kicks off with Colt's cornerback Darrell Baker Jr. joining the show. Marc and Kevin ask him questions about being born in Panama and coming over to the U.S. and his life in Georgia prior to becoming a pro. They talk about his teammates, who he is learning from, who is helping him get settled with the team, and who talks the best trash. News breaks mid-segment that practice will be moved inside during training camp today due to poor field conditions. Kareem Hunt did not leave with a deal in Indianapolis yesterday, so the Colts signs Hunt Lee from Philadelphia.
(28:13 - 32:54) - Morning Checkdown
(32:55 - 45:27) - A recap of the events taking place in Maui. The Colt's first depth chart was released for the pre-season yesterday. Marc and Kevin go back and forth on some of the names the Colts will be playing, and some the team will be facing. Colts defense takes center stage of conversation in regard to what players are running out of time to prove themselves as being valuable parts of the defensive unit.
(45:28 - 1:14:33) - Going over the Matt Ryan conversation on Adam Schefter's podcast. Ryan talks as if he is surprised that running backs have been neglected in the league for so long. Kevin and Marc go over the franchise tags for each position in the league. The franchise tag cap is expected to rise from 10 to 13 million in 2024. More Ryan and Schefter clips played about Ryan's feelings on if Jonathan Taylor will play for the Colts this season or try to sit the season out.
(1:14:34 - 1:34:27) - Someone called in and actually wanted to talk Notre Dame basketball. Producer Sam's microphone is finally working. More talk of Kareem Hunt leaving Indianapolis without a contract last night. Colts practice was moved indoors. Kevin is hoping to hear more from Colts Head Coach Shane Steichen today on what kind of minutes starters will play in joint practices and the pre-season.
(1:34:29 - 1:34:27) - More talk about Anthony Richardson starting. Should he be getting the hits that a quarterback would usually be taking in the regular season now that he is no longer going up against pros instead of college players.
(1:34:28 - 1:43:04) - Pop Quiz
(1:43:05 - 2:06:44) - Mike Chappell of Fox59 joins the show to talk updates on the Colts. Chappell has been on the scene at Colts training camp just as much as The Fan's Kevin Bowen. He goes into depth on all the Colts roster moved over the last few days. Picking up running backs and cornerbacks to prepare for the regular season. When is the last time a player like Jonathan Taylor rehabbing off site and away from training camp was viewed as a good thing? The last thing for Richardson to prove himself to Chappell is to have him take some contact against professional level players.
(2:06:45 - 2:20:40) - ESPN's Field Yates closes out the show with Marc & Kevin. Yates says there has been a lot of front office talk about the Jonathan Taylor situation. Colt's owner Jim Irsay may have hurt Chris Ballard's ability to trade Jonathan Taylor with his comments on Twitter/X. Yates has heard there is a market for a trade with another team and Jonathan Taylor, but as time rolls on the ability to get maximum value for him is becoming slimmer. Value wise, Indianapolis needs to be looking for a player plus a draft pick for someone like Taylor. Shifting to Fantasy Football how should fantasy players treat Jonathan Taylor as an asset given the uncertainty of him playing. Field Yates gives his core beliefs for a fantasy football draft.

(00:00 - 14:15) - Kevin and Query is live on the scene today from the Indiana State Fair's opening day. The show begins with a lot of State Fair admiration and memories. Sports talk starts with the daytime drama that the Jonathan Taylor contract talks have become. Kevin & Query discuss some Jim Irsay quotes in regard to Jonathan Taylor.
(14:16 - 16:56) - Morning Checkdown
(16:57 - 42:48) - Greg Rakestraw joins in to close out the opening segment. A quick review of everyone's Dairy Bar experience at the fair. Colts talk immediately turns back to Jonathan Taylor's contract situation. Rakestraw believes that Taylor will eventually be signed to a multi-year deal, but no longer than 2-3 years at most. How long will the Colts need to look at Anthony Richardson at quarterback before they dedicate to putting pieces around him as their starter. A grilled cheese is delivered mid interview. The United States Women's soccer team just needs a draw to guarantee their next step into the World Cup. Greg talks about how the rest of the world is catching up to the United States due to them taking the sport a bit more seriously, and the American rosters turn over.
(42:49 - 1:05:31) - The Jonathan Taylor talk starts to revolve around his previous injury and his ability to come back as a strong running back off of the injury. All the ways the Colts could structure a deal that keeps Taylor here without having to use the franchise tag. Could Jonathan Taylor afford to sit out the year? Jonathan Taylor's image might be getting hurt due to these contract negotiations. Is firing his agent a possibility? More review of some Stephen Holder tweet's from yesterday.
(1:05:32 - 1:12:32) - Mike Chappell from CBS4 calls in to the show as he is driving to his 40th Colt's training camp. Jim Irsay tweet's out just as the interview begins that the practice is being moved indoors due to bad weather. Chappell says this is a bad situation for the fans as it severely limits the attendance of people at the practice due to limited space. The interview is cut short due to rainy weather.
(1:12:33 - 1:20:50) - Segment 3 is shortened up due to having to move inside because of the poor weather. The state fair delayed the opening of their gates today. A lot of talk about weather effecting Colts practice. Which happens first, Glenn Robinson III returns to the NBA or Carson Wentz returns to the NFL.
(1:20:51 - 1:44:40) - Mike Chappell rejoins the show to begin the 3rd hour.Jonathan Taylor needs to get practicing sooner rather than later to prove his worth according to Chappell. Coming off this injury, there is no telling how well he will be able to perform if he isn't on the field and that could affect his contract negotiations. Social media has played a large part in Taylor's negotiations with him liking and unliking Tweets. Long-term means different things to different people and positions, for a running back three years is long term. Mike Chappell's phone cuts out mid interview.

(00:00 - 27:41) - Kevin is back after a week off on this Monday Morning Kevin & Query. Jake on the other hand is still traveling back from Iowa, so Kevin and Marc get the show started by previewing Colts training camp which they will be live from on Tuesday. The Cincinnati Reds are back to their winning ways, taking 5 straight recently. Danny Lopez is going to be on the show later with an announcement about All-Star weekend for the NBA in Indianapolis for 2024. The Colts had some interesting choices for marketing their new jerseys. Several of the Colts rookie draft picks have still yet to sign with the team.
(27:42 - 34:42) - Morning Checkdown
(34:43 - 44:26) - Kevin recently wrote an article of 53 questions heading into Colts training camp. Marc asks some of those questions back to Kevin. Including, will Jonathan Taylor receive a contract extension and is Mo Alie-Cox capable of giving the team more?
(44:27 - 1:08:21) - More anticipation for Colts training camp coming up. Several days have sold out already. Pacers Head-Coach had a great comparison between the Pacers transformation over the past two years and the Colts transformation this offseason. Returning to Kevin's list of 53 questions. How will quarterback reps be divided up? How high is the urgency for the team to sign a veteran cornerback?
(1:08:22 - 1:20:20) - Danny Lopez Vice President of External Affairs for the Indiana Pacers joins the show to give all the details surrounding the 2024 NBA All-Star Game. His exclusive announcement is that tickets that are reserved exclusively for Hoosiers will go on sale at 2:00 p.m. today. He also says that the team is setting up a full weekend of events outside of just the All-Star schedule. The team is really hoping to transform the downtown area to almost compare to an NFL Super Bowl Village. Gainbridge Fieldhouse's inside renovations are done, the outside plaza is the last piece of the puzzle which Lopez says is aiming for an August open.
(1:20:21 - 1:30:02) - It was announced that former Colts running back Nyheim Hines suffered a non-football related injury to his knee while the show was on air. Hines most notable moment with the Buffalo Bills last year was returning an opening kick for a touchdown the game after Damar Hamlin's injury. Marc and Kevin draw comparisons to the timing of Hines's injury and Colts injuries prior to the season beginning.
(1:30:03 - 2:01:00) - Joel Erickson of the IndyStar calls into the program to talk Colts training camp. Kevin and Joel tease each other quickly as the Cincinnati Reds (Kevin's team) and the Milwaukee Brewers (Joel's Team) will be facing each other soon. Erickson gives his top 3 questions for GM Chris Ballard, who will be a guest on the program tomorrow. All three are similar to ones that were discussed earlier in the show. Colts haven't made many if any changes to their offensive line and Erickson is wondering if the team might be signing up their quarterbacks for failure yet again if the line doesn't improve. Does Erickson have any information on the Jonathan Taylor contract talks? Would Taylor risk sitting out the last year of his contract? Erickson believes that Richardson just has to match the potential effectiveness of Gardner Minshew to earn the Week 1 start. Kevin and Joel make a bet on the Reds/Brewers series.
(2:01:01 - 2:08:39) - Pop Quiz
(2:08:40 - 2:17:36) - The show closes out with a rundown of the upcoming week. Big guests on the docket for tomorrow and live appearances from Colts Training Camp and the Indiana State Fair.

(00:00 - 24:36) - The Friday Edition of Kevin & Query begins with the news of the Colts new alternate jerseys and the Washington Commanders being sold. What team, other than the Colts, has a logo that changes color when sold at retail compared to the players uniforms. The Colts news jerseys aren't that special, they are cool, but Jake and Marc don't think it will really move the needle in terms of appeal.
(24:37 - 26:56) - Morning Checkdown
(26:57 - 45:08) - Greg Rakestraw of the ISC Network and Soccer Saturday stops by the show for a quick spot discussing women's soccer both internationally and in Indianapolis. Rakestraw says the gap in skill between America and the rest of the world is starting to shrink. Other countries around the world are starting to take soccer more seriously. Canada, Spain, and Germany are all becoming serious threats. The segment closes with callers discussing soccer at Lucas Oil Stadium, and the Colts uniforms.
(45:09 - 1:09:44) - More Colts jersey talk. What if this is an audition for a new standard Colts jersey? Now that the Washington Commanders have been sold, the team may be changing its name and imaging again. A caller has some stories for Jake. Jake and callers go on a trip down memory lane with Indianapolis hosting the Pan-American Games.
(1:09:45 - 1:23:56) - A final caller involving the Pan-Am games. Mark has concerns about the Colts schedule this year. With the team's lack of cornerbacks there are several offenses that could pose a major threat against the team this year. Mark runs down the list of teams and Jake gives his levels of concern on each individual team. Depth is the Colts biggest concern this season.
(1:23:57 - 1:32:44) - Indiana State Fair Ticket Giveaway
(1:32:45 - 2:00:52) - George Bremer of the Anderson Herald Bulletin joins the program to talk about the Indianapolis Colts upcoming season. Bremer also gives his initial view on the new Colts jerseys. Talk turns to Shaquille Leonard's health coming up to the 2023 season, and while the video he released is encouraging, nothing is really set in stone until he is finally back on the field and up to speed. Bremer believes that Jonathan Taylor's contract is more concerning than Leonard's health. He also believes that Anthony Richardson is the main choice for starting week one at quarterback. Michael Pittman Jr. as the Colts primary receiver is going to have to also help be that reliable source for Richardson. Training camp with fewer and shorter practices seems to be more of a hinderance than a help to Bremer.

DeMulling had a unique experience as a player coming to Indianapolis as summer humidity didn't really affect him in the Pacific Northwest. He describes the Midwest weather as "hoping you don't die." At what point did he stop looking over his shoulder in training camp and did he ever feel like he didn't have to take training camp as seriously. Great back and forth between Jake and Rick about players mental health and how it shows over the course of a season. DeMulling gives his opinion on joint practices and if they are beneficial to a team.

(00:00 - 23:44) - Thursday's Kevin & Query kicks off with Jake almost being late to the show! An accident on Meridian slowed him down but he made it into the studio at just the right time. The big news this morning is that Jarace Walker is reportedly injured. A Woj tweet revealed that he has elbow surgery. Walker is expected to still be ready when training camp starts later this year. Somebody won the Powerball last night. What do modern players think of training camp compared to older players?
(23:45 - 28:20) - Morning Checkdown
(28:21 - 43:27) - A quick Huey Lewis memory from Jake. Saquon Barkley appeared on the Money Matters podcast yesterday and had some harsh words for the New York Giants organization, claiming he could potentially just choose to sit out the 2023 season. Do Barkley's actions and words give or take power away from Jonathan Taylor and his negotiating power with the Colts. Despite Daniel Jones's improvement at quarterback, Barkley is still the Giants main offensive weapon and that has to count for something.
(43:28 - 1:09:59) - Rick DeMulling former Guard for the Indianapolis Colts calls in to the program to talk about the team's upcoming training camp. DeMulling had a unique experience as a player coming to Indianapolis as summer humidity didn't really effect him in the Pacific North West. He describes the Midwest weather as "hoping you don't die."

(1:10:00 - 1:28:53) - Scott Agness of the Pacer's Fieldhouse Files comes on the show to discuss the Jarace Walker news regarding his elbow surgery. Agness has to first describe what "loose bodies" are, those being the reason for Walker's surgery. Agness says that this really isn't much of a story, plenty of players go through minor operations like this from season to season and it doesn't get picked up by media. Agness moves on to give the highlights of the Pacers summer league, the performances of Bennedict Mathurin and Isaiah Jackson were impressive to him. George Hill has been very open about his desire to play at least one more season with the Pacers, but the team still has to make room for him. After, Hill has a strong desire to be involved with the team in a different capacity.
(1:28:54 - 1:34:25) - Indiana State Fair Ticket Giveaway.
(1:34:36 - 2:04:22) - Zak Keefer, the NFL writer for The Athletic joins the show. His segment opens up with a lot of talk about his new position with The Athletic, covering the NFL as a whole instead of just the Colts. Keefer teases several stories he has a level of excitement about writing. His new position will include a lot of profiles including a story on Adam "Pacman" Jones. Jake asks Keefer to detail more on the process of writing a profile on a person he is not familiar with personally and how he builds a raport with them. Blake Martinez is apparently retiring from the NFL to sell Pokemon Cards. How long can the Colts rely on Jonathan Taylor while Anthony Richardson develops at quarterback. Keefer stresses that Indianapolis has to fix the infrastructure around Richardson quickly in order for him to succeed.

After a joint rant with Jake about the disasters of printing, Taylor gives some great insight into what goes into game prep for a broadcaster. Taylor digs into the Anthony Richardson contract situation. He feels confident that the issue with the contract must be minor given all the rules the NFL already has on rookie pay. The most interesting story for the Colts outside of Anthony Richardson and Shaquille Leonard is the team's cornerback situation. Taylor talks about the different confidence levels of players going into the 2023 season. Do Colt's players get injured more often than other teams, and does the turf surface have anything to do with it? Some of Taylor's favorite Edgerrin James memories.

(1:08:05 - 1:27:11) - Audio from the Colts veteran mini-camp, Jonathan Taylor speaks on how runningbacks should be viewed in contract negotiations. Taylor clearly still wants to be the featured back on this Colts offense, but the league is so oversaturated that room may no longer be there. Now with so many quarterbacks running as much as they pass do teams not value the runningback as much knowing they have a QB that can pick up the slack as well?

(00:00 - 20:55) - Indianapolis air quality has improved due to last nights storms. Busy day for news in sports, the Colts released Isaiah Rodgers and Rashod Berry yesterday. Jake believes that there are several players who probably have passively and unintentionally violated the NFL's gambling policy. How many players have placed a wager on a baseball game from a team facility thinking it was okay? Bad weather cancelled Marc's Savannah Bananas trip last night. Jake went to see Noel Gallagher of Oasis last night. Pacers
(20:56 - 25:06) - Morning Checkdown
(25:07 - 46:53) - Greg Rakestraw of the ISC Network and Indy Eleven joins the show. He and Jake immediately go back and forth on the news of Isaiah Rodgers suspension. Rakestraw believes that if Rodgers is allowed back in the league in the near future, he stands a chance to sign with a team again. This story is going to keep people's attention for awhile, possibly the next season or two, but players might start making mistakes again because of how available gambling is and how loose the rules are currently. Rakestraw goes over the six rules that the NFL has on gambling currently. Marc gets a quick word on Rakestraw's view of Pacers free agency.
(46:54 - 1:10:00) - The second hour kicks off with Jake's view on how people treat Independence Day. Fireworks are great for 4th of July, but not at 1a.m. Chicago has a street race coming up, but the event isn't bringing a lot of people or business to Chicago. Taylor Swift brought more people to Chicago than the upcoming race will. Callers weigh in on their views of 4th of July, the Chicago Cubs, and Isaiah Rodgers.
(1:10:01 - 1:20:35) - More callers phone into the show. Topics include Veterans and their relationship with fireworks, Isaiah Rodgers suspension, and Colt's season expectations. Jake details the different moralities involved in sports betting as an athlete. This scandal could affect the NFL's future if it is ever revealed that betting on games played a role in anyone's performance during a game.
(1:20:36 - 1:33:07) - A caller verifies that Producer Sam's earlier statement on Oasis's hit song Wonderwall was true. That same called lobby's for Jake's fandom for their high-school basketball team. IndyCar talk about getting them to race again in Loudon. Race talk about how people view Romain Grosjean and Pato O'Ward.
(1:333:08 - 2:00:56) - Joel A Erickson of the IndyStar joins the show to go into deep detail about Isaiah Rodgers year-long suspension from the NFL. Was Erickson surprised when Rashod Berry was released as well? Berry was suspended indefinitely even though he could have only bet one NFL game as a player last year. Erickson notes that betting on any game inside a team facility is earning players a six-game suspension, betting on the NFL is earning the year-long suspension. Erickson thinks that compared across multiple leagues the NFL actually has pretty relaxed gambling restrictions. The NCAA won't allow you to bet on any sport they govern. The Colt's cornerback room is young and inexperienced, they need to sign a veteran to help out the defense.

Jeremy Fowler, senior writer for ESPN calls in to talk about Isaiah Rodgers' looming suspension. Will Rodgers have to apply for re-instatement after this suspension? Fowler believes that the only noteworthy part known so far is the length of the suspension. Fowler doesn't know if the NFL is trying to impose suspensions on a sliding scale or if they feel this is what they view as being a punishment for all players who take part in this sort of violation. The NFL wants to get ahead of a widespread gambling scandal by trying to re-enforce their gambling rules and practices. Fowler believes tomorrow could be the day we get more news on the NFL's upcoming suspensions & more!

(00:00 - 23:26) - The Thursday edition of Kevin & Query kicks off with the news of Rodgers alleged year-long suspension from the NFL over his gambling scandal. A perfect game was pitched last night as Domingo German of the New York Yankees managed to get it done in under 100 pitches. A correction to the "Who is The Best Family Feud Host" conversation from yesterday.
(23:27 - 28:56) - Morning Checkdown
(28:57 - 45:44) - Query wants to go through a full breakdown of Adam Schefter's comments on Isaiah Rodger's potential suspension on ESPN last night. NFL announced that they will be issuing the suspensions coming soon and will now require rookies to attend and education session. Jake found out about the story potentially breaking before it did, he details his investigation into the accusation once he was made aware of it. A read through of the NFL's gambling rules.
(45:45 - 1:10:06) - The air quality in Indianapolis isn't much better from yesterday into today. Likely going to force several events to cancel in Indiana like a Noel Gallagher concert or the Savannah Banana's baseball game. Jake wants to know how a Banana's game works. Back to sports betting Jake draws a comparison between sports betting and bartending. One of the key issues with the apps is a player's ability to self-govern their actions. Examples of instances where players could have broken a rule mistakenly or not in bad faith.
(1:10:07 - 1:31:48) - Scott Agness of the Fieldhouse Files Podcast is our guest in this segment. Jake immediately wants to know Scott's views on free agency who the Pacers can afford and who they can afford to get see leave. Is there any validity to the Pacers favoring Harrison Barnes as a free agent. Agness says Barnes is the type of player who will be offered a "JJ Redick" contract. Marc wants to know if Mathurin and Nembhard asked to take part in the Summer League. Agness said it was definitely their choice, but they will likely see little playing time.
Interview Ran Long. Hour 2 Seg 3 was a touch and go.

(43:32 - 1:15:56) - Stephen Holder of ESPN.com joins the program to discuss The Colts upcoming season. He talks about the expansion of the Colts team behind the scenes and how it is a greater indicator of the NFL at large right now. Holder breaks down the dates on Colts training camp, highlighting which dates will be of significance. Every fanbase thinks their team is the most injured team. There have been some complaints about the Colts turf field, while turf has been used for a while, its widespread use is still fairly new. When will the NFL announce any action on Isaiah Rodgers? Marc wants to know what a reasonable extension for Jonathan Taylor will be.
(1:15:57 - 1:30:02) - NBA free agency is about to open up. Who is worth talking to for the Pacers? James Harden is an intriguing player in free agency to Jake. Not someone the Pacers should target but the narrative around him seems to have changed. What is going to happen with the Draymond Green and Jordan Poole situation, who will be staying with the team and who will be leaving? Marc and Jake throw around names like Kyle Kuzma, Jeremi Grant, and Harrison Barnes. Jake believes that Harrison Barnes is the most likely candidate to end up in Indiana. While inconsistent as a high scoring producer Barnes will bring a lot of veteran experience to the team.
(1:30:03 - 1:55:27) - Ryan Seacrest was officially announced as Pat Sajak's replacement on Wheel of Fortune. Ryan Seacrest is a personality that is seemingly liked by all people.

(00:00 - 27:38) - Kevin Bowen is out on this Friday edition of Kevin & Query as he is taking an early Father's Day weekend. Marc Dycton slides over to the host seat and joins Jake Query in talking sports on The Fan. Jake begins by teasing Marc about a mega gas station that is moving in to Whitestown, Indiana.....Wally's a competitor to Buccee's. Indiana is about to have a gas station turf war with Wally's and Wawa coming to town in the near future. Sports talk begins around the Colt's OTAs wrapping up. Do players take it easy just before training camp and recover, or do you begin a personal training program to be at peak performance before training camp? Query believes that a player's position within the organization or experience within the league may determine what they choose to do as rookies would be more likely to train harder. Pacer's President of Basketball Operations Kevin Pritchard reportedly ate with Kansas small forward/shooting guard after his workout with the team.
(27:39 - 33:24) - Morning Checkdown
(33:25 - 42:22) - The first segment comes to a close with return to Jonathan Taylor trade talk. Jake ponders if it is time to trade in Taylor for future pieces in the draft, or if he is someone they could keep around at a lighter pay grade given the current free agent market around running backs. The running back position is very undervalued in today's NFL. Jake could not even name the leading rusher in the NFL last season.
(42:23 - 1:08:26) - Greg Rakestraw kicks off the eight o'clock hour and picks up the Jonathan Taylor conversation. Rakestraw thinks that Taylor is looking at a short-term contract no matter where he goes. No NFL team is in a position to offer running backs anything longer than three years and even that is stretching it for a back in the current NFL landscape. Taylor's best bet is likely to stay with the Colts as Indianapolis has a bit more money to throw around given their current quarterback situation. Jake wants to know where the Colts have the greatest amount of depth and wealth, Rakestraw responds with a potential surprising answer of the Tight-End position. The biggest question going into training camp is who the quarterback for the Colts will be going into week 1 of the regular season. Everything about first-round draft pick Anthony Richardson seems right for him to have the start on week 1, but when the bright lights are on will he be ready? Rakestraw winds down the conversation by talking about the IHSAA boys state finals in baseball later on tonight.
(1:08:27 - 1:26:33) - From one guest into another as Dustin Dopirak of the Indy Star calls in to the program. Jake begins by issuing a formal apology for mispronouncing his name for the 30th time. The guys want to know if there is any truth to the report that Kevin Pritchard and Gradey Dick got dinner after his workout with the Pacers last night. Dopirak says it is entirely possible, especially since Dick was the only player in the workout last night. The situation might be different if it was a full 6-7 player event, but with just one player the session likely had a more personal feel. According to Dopirak, Gradey Dick is a player that could fit well within the Pacers organization especially as a wing shooter. He could be a bench player that fits into Buddy Hield's role if Hield ever were traded or did not re-sign with the team. Finally, Marc poses the ever-important question to Dopirak, who will the Pacers select with their first pick in the 2023 NBA Draft?
(1:26:34 - 1:30:07) - Pat Sajak is stepping down as the host of Wheel of Fortune, who will replace him as host and will it be a former sports star? The guys are going to talk more about it at the top of the hour.
(1:30:08 - 1:59:01) - Marc and Jake give their picks for sports themed replacement hosts for Wheel of Fortune after Pat Sajak steps down. What former Hoosier sports stars could potentially stand behind the wheel? How much has Jeff Saturday's interim head-coach stint with the Colts hurt his likeability? No one has heard from him since he didn't get the head coaching position, except for a tweet of him on a boat. A bit of breaking news mid segment, former Indiana Pacer Mike Dunleavy Jr. reportedly has been named the new General Manager of the Golden State Warriors. What about if Shaq or Charles Barkley hosted Wheel of Fortune?
(1:59:02 - 2:05:27) - Pop Quiz
(2:05:28 - 2:18:40) - Jake wants people's opinions on the best of four songs, more Wheel of Fortune host suggestions, and more Wally's vs. Buc-ee's talk. Jonathan Taylor contract negotiations to close out the episode.

(00:00 - 31:05) - The Monday morning edition of Kevin & Query opens with anticipation over the Denver Nuggets potentially closing out the championship series in five games tonight and winning their first franchise NBA Championship. Indiana State had a good run but unfortunately, they were eliminated by TCU over the weekend. It still was a solid showing and good community effort given how the situation could have played out. Kevin and Jake were on some weird text chain over the weekend. Novak Djokovic wins 23rd Grand Slam after French Open win.
(31:06 - 36:06) - Morning Checkdown
(36:07 - 46:01) - Preview of Colts upcoming season and review of OTA's. Kevin expresses a bit of disappointment in the lack of experience that Colts Quarterbacks Anthony Richardson and Gardner Minshew have gotten with a primary receiving core. That will change come mandatory minicamp, but will it be enough. Further breakdown of the Isaiah Rodgers situation and the other players across the NFL who were a part of the scandal.
(46:02 - 1:17:26) - Gregg Doyel of the IndyStar comes onto the show after a week off from work, and what a week it was to miss. Doyel is asked about the Rodgers situation and whether or not the Colts will let him serve his punishment or just cut him outright. Doyel believes that Rodgers won't lose his ability while he is out, but he also won't be able to catch up with the rest of the NFL and may take longer to catch up even after the suspension is over. Doyel finds out mid-call that the Rodgers report involved him gambling on Colts games. Knowing that Doyel is certain that Rodgers will be gone from the team if this proves to be true. Doyel brings up multiple times that gambling is a scary thing and its availability in the United States now could lead to situations like this becoming more common. Doyel also touches on the byline strike going on over at the IndyStar.
(1:17:27 - 1:30:04) - Query opens this segment posing a question to Kevin about OTAs and how Colts new head coach Shane Steichen is splitting up offensive reps between Minshew and Richardson. Query says this is the first time the Colts franchise has ever had to truly worry about their quarterback position for more than just a season. Will Richardson be able to finally fill in that hole in the Colts offense?
(1:30:05 - 1:34:26) - Quick touch and go segment where Kevin tells a story about Purdue's Zach Edey attending the high school golf tournament for a Freshman from Zionsville that he met playing Fortnite.
(1:34:27 - 2:02:25) - Pat Boylan, Pacer's sideline reporter, joins the show to kick off the final hour. Kevin starts with some talk about the Indiana Fever and how they start strong but fall apart late in games. Query asks about Aliyah Boston, the Fever's first overall draft pick and how while she isn't exactly a stat leader just yet but she exhibits leadership qualities. Boylan confirms that as a player Boston has a great amount of poise and confidence for a rookie. Talk eventually turns to the Pacers and if what holding onto the 6th overall pick will do for them in the 2023 NBA Draft. Boylan believes that the Pacers are looking for a stretch four or a wing defender as their biggest need for the upcoming season and will be their primary target in the draft. Kevin gives Pat the Pacer's 5 draft picks this year and asks him what it would take to move up from 7th to 2nd or 3rd in the draft.

(00:00 - 29:45) - The Friday edition of Kevin & Query kicks off with a brief recap of the Florida Panthers overtime victory over the Las Vegas Golden Knights. The Stanley Cup Final series now sits at 2-1 in favor of the Golden Knights. Playoff Hockey always seems to make people wish they watched more hockey. College scheduling for football dominates the first segment of the show with discussion on IU and Purdue's schedules now that the Conference Matchups are now a non-factor in scheduling. USC and UCLA will likely have a lot of away fans at their Big-10 Games. Notre Dame has a new Athletic Director and how will he effect their program going forward?
(29:46 - 34:18) - Morning Checkdown
(34:19 - 47:47) - Dalvin Cook was released from the Minnesota Vikings today, can the Indianapolis Colts use that as some sort of leverage with Jonathan Taylor? How much longer will Taylor be an elite level running back in the NFL and can the team risk slapping a franchise tag on him after his rookie contract expires. Gardner Minshew and Anthony Richardson have been throwing to wide receivers and tight-ends that might not even be on the team come regular season. With the Colts Top-3 wideouts on the sideline these quarterbacks may struggle to get off to a good start.
(47:48 - 1:19:15) - Before our guest joins Jake Query mentions that listeners could potentially be his spotter at the August IndyCar/NASCAR double header. Check out his Twitter page to bid on your chance to help him out! Then Greg Rakestraw of the ISC network joins the program to talk about the Indiana-Kentucky Classic happening over the weekend. All-Star high-school basketball players from both states will face off against each other in both boys and girls basketball with this inter-state rivalry contest. Kevin asks Rakestraw to breakdown high school players from Indiana and their potential college landing spots in the coming years. The guys all speculate over Flory Bidunga, the state's top basketball prospect, and what college will be his landing spot. Talk turns to MLS and Lionel Messi's signing to Inter Miami and how that will impact soccer in America.
(1:19:16 - 1:31:57) - Game by game breakdown of IU and Purdue's new football schedule with the Conference matchups now being dissolved. Breakdown of the history of Big Ten Championship matchups and what teams have dominated in their individual era.
(1:31:58 - 1:39:24) - Anniversary of Elvis's last concert at Market Square Arena. Jake reflects on the last fan to ever interact with Elvis Presley, and apparently found the person who had the scarf he threw into the crowd at his last concert. What is the most expensive piece of memorabilia that Kevin & Query own.
(1:39:25 - 2:05:03) - George Bremer, who covers the Indianapolis Colts for The Herald Bulletin in Anderson, Indiana joins the show. He breaks down the Colts current running back situation with Dalvin Cook's release from Minnesota and how that might change what the Colts try to offer Jonathan Taylor. Bremer goes into detail on how both Indiana's quarterbacks in Minshew and Richardson need more time with starting line ups before the regular season and hopefully they will get that exposure in the pre-season. No matter who the Colts select as their starter for Week 1, they still need to have a set of plays designed for each quarterback according to Bremer. Then all three guys shortly speculate on the outcome of the Isaiah Rodgers situation regarding betting on the team and what sort of punishments he may face as well as when.

(00:00 - 26:43) - A rainy Friday morning greets this morning's edition of Kevin & Query. The GMR Grand Prix is tomorrow and there is a chance of rain ruining the festivities. The Colts schedule was released yesterday, Kevin and Query run down the schedule and try to predict how the Colts will handle it this year. Indianapolis doesn't have any prime-time games this season. Is Amazon punishing the Colts for that lackluster Broncos game last season with no Thursday night games this year? The Phoenix Suns fell flat in a Game 6 elimination game at home, down by 30 points at one time. The Indiana Pacers have their first draft workout today, hosting a total of six players.

The amount of young quarterbacks that the Colts will face this year could be beneficial to the team's playoff chances.
(43:10 - 1:08:04) - The Colts technically have a prime-time game against the Philadelphia Eagles.......in the pre-season. Would you rather see the Colts make the playoffs or see them receive a Top 3 pick and select Marvin Harrison Jr? Jake recalls the story of meeting his Australian pal at a Pacer's game and now it has launced into a budding friendship. Peyton Manning appeared in the Denver Bronco's schedule release video for another year in a row. He hasn't done one with the Colts. Jake goes in deep on why Manning's relationship with Indianapolis has been fractured.
(1:08:05 - 1:27:09) - Offensive Tackle for the Indianapolis Colts, Bernhard Raimann joins the show and discusses his excitement in playing an NFL game in Germany which is within reasonable distance of his home country of Austria. Raimann talks about when, as a rookie, he felt it was possible to settle down and be a part of the team, and not "have his head on a swivel." As a rookie did he ever have his confidence rattled playing at such a high-profile position in Offensive Tackle. Jake wants some info on European countries to potentially visit. Raimann says any Colt's fan who visits Germany has to get a schnitzel. Talk leaves off with Raimann discussing how he has adapted to calling Indianapolis home for the past year.
(1:27:10 - 1:30:26) - Little bit of talk about NFL players and how they appeared in College versus what they looked like as pros. Kevin brings up Matt Ryan at Boston College as an example.

(00:00 - 20:53) - Greg Rakestraw of the ISC Network joins the program and puts a bow on last weeks IHSAA State Finals in basketball. There are always a handful of college coaches at the finals, but the Ben Davis vs. Kokomo game had a very large presence of recruiters. Rakestraw claims it was the biggest gathering of recruiters he can remember in his time covering the tournament. Talk turns to Rakestraw's predictions for the Final Four in the NCAA Tournament. Moving on to Colt's conversation, Dykton wants to know what the grade is for the Colts this offseason. Rakestraw says that the grade will be incomplete until the draft is over. The free agent signings have started to set the table but there will be no telling until the draft is over, and the quarterback situation is resolved. The Indy Eleven home opener is this Saturday. Coming off a draw against Tampa Bay and a 1-0 win in Detroit, the Eleven are off to a hot start against two playoff teams from last season.
(20:54 - 43:51) - From one guest right into another, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com is on the phone line to talk Colts. Holder is asked to predict the team's first draft pick and he believes that it will be Anthony Richardson joining the team. Indianapolis has spent a lot of time looking at Anthony Richardson, despite Irsay saying he is very high on Will Levis, the team seems to have focused in more on Richardson's actions since the combine. Holder doesn't believe there is any chance that the Colts will trade up or down in the draft. The opportunity to get one of these quarterbacks is too tempting to risk giving your space up. The other side of the current quarterback coin is trying to sign Lamar Jackson. Holder believes that is Jackson is open to a conversation then it benefits Jim Irsay and Chris Ballard to have that conversation. Lastly, Stephen Holder is predicting an all-Florida NCAA Championship basketball game.

(31:27 - 46:04) - What is the weight of an NFL Pro-Day on how a team views a potential draft pick? Will Levis being 23 might give him an edge in terms of development for a team, making him a an appealing pick. The Colts still have been patient for years now with team owner Jim Irsay trusting the general manager Chris Ballard for multiple seasons. The clock is going to start ticking now that the Colts are in yet another quarterback conundrum. Will any of the rookie quarterbacks be able to live up to the pressure that both Irsay and Ballard will be putting on them from the start of the season? Irsay is a catalyst in freeing a whale back into the wild.

(00:00 - 22:11) - Greg Rakestraw of the ISC Sports Network joins the show. Briefly Kevin and Rakestraw touch on Micah Shrewsberry signing on as Notre Dame's head coach. Notre Dame used to have a huge national presence in the basketball world, and it looks like the team is trying to recapture that stature in the collegiate basketball world. Flory Bidunga, originally from the Congo and playing for Kokomo High-School is one the most touted prospects in high-school basketball. While being heavily recruited, Rakestraw believes that Bidunga will still be playing in Kokomo next year and not transfer to a higher ranked high school. The conversation turns more to the specific matchups between NorthWood and Guerin Catholic in 3A basketball, and Ben Davis versus Kokomo in 4A. Ben Davis is looking to accomplish and undefeated championship season.
(22:12 - 33:16) - The Guerin Catholic head-coach Bobby Allen closes out the program talking about the team's appearance in the IHSAA State Championship tomorrow at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Allen has played and won a state championship as a student, this would be his first championship as a coach. Guerin Catholic had a rough season to start at one point sitting with a 12-8 record. Allen was wondering if the team would even finish the season with a winning record. Allen says the team was able to just buckle down and stay the course. Their rebound on the season and trip to the state finals has coach Allen believing that his team will be able to control the pace on the floor tomorrow and bring home a state championship.

(00:00 - 27:43) - It's Friday, Kevin's shirt is back on, and we have some Sweet Sixteen games to recap. Gonzaga and UCLA had an absolute thriller. UCLA launches a huge comeback only to barely fall short against Gonzaga. Julian Strawther shot and hit a game winner in his hometown of Las Vegas. 0 Big Ten teams have made the Sweet Sixteen in the last two tournaments. The Florida Atlantic Owls reach their first Elite Eight in program history. This is Kansas State's third Elite Eight since 2010, but both times prior they lost to a Mid-Major University. Could the same happen with Florida Atlantic?

(1:13:50 - 1:24:44) - More talk on NCAA matchups. Will Princeton be able to continue the Cinderella story? Kevin and Query equate the game to St. Peters upset over Purdue last year. Andrew Nembhard's brother, Ryan, is still playing in the tournament on Creighton.
(1:24:45 - 1:33:02) - Pro-days continue in the NFL and the Colts need to narrow down who they intend to take with the 4th pick in the NFL Draft. A quarterback is still the leading candidate for that pick, and C.J. Stroud, Will Levis, and Bryce Young all were on display yesterday.
(1:33:03 - 1:57:58) - Another reminder to join Jake at Broad Ripple Tavern tonight for Pop-A-Shot. The Pacers and Celtics tip off tonight at 7. The blue and gold are in a unique NBA gray area where they could make the playoffs through the play-in, but that would weaken the team's chances at getting a high draft pick. Jalen Hood-Schifino of IU and Zach Edey of Purdue are being thrown around as picks. Cleveland will definitely make the playoffs meaning the Pacers will get their 1st round draft pick in 2024. With Boston's 1st rounder as well, that gives Indiana three total 1st round picks in the upcoming draft. What kind of luck will the Pacers have in the lottery drawing this year? The team certainly has the ability to trade up with the amount of draft stock they already have.

Allen has played and won a state championship as a student, this would be his first championship as a coach. Guerin Catholic had a rough season to start at one point sitting with a 12-8 record. Allen was wondering if the team would even finish the season with a winning record. Allen says the team was able to just buckle down and stay the course. Their rebound on the season and trip to the state finals has coach Allen believing that his team will be able to control the pace on the floor tomorrow and bring home a state championship.

(00:00 - 8:32) - Hour two starts, the shirt is still off, and the Scott Agness of the Fieldhouse Files joins the show ahead of his usual spot. The Pacer's Podcast host starts off reminding everyone that the season is about growth and exploring new options for team direction. He finds it in the Pacers best interest to not make the play-in tournament this season. While Bennedict Mathurin has performed up to expectations this season, it is Andrew Nembhard who has been the standout rookie this year performing well above and beyond what people thought he was capable of. Agness goes over how many if any Pacers players may want to sit the remaining games of the season knowing that the playoffs are still possible but unlikely.
(8:33 - 31:27) - Zak Keefer of WISH TV is on the road attending Pro-Day camps, but still has time to call in to the show. Keefer says that attending the Pro-Days of players you might not even intend to draft is still important because you get intel on players you will see later in the year. He also says that discussions with other scouts and media on Pro-days reveal a lot of information about other teams headspace going into the season. Ballard only attends a small handful of Pro-days, however he does often draft the players workouts he attends. Keefer believes that the Colts are going to try and move up to third in the draft. He says it is time for Indianapolis to go get the quarterback they want and stop waiting around.

(00:00 - 25:32) - The Thursday show is off the rails from the word go. Kevin starts the show by following through on yesterday's promise of taking off his shirt and bringing in donuts after the announcement of Micah Shrewsberry signing on as head coach of Notre Dame Men's Basketball. The show has a very difficult time getting back on track but when it does the discussion turns to the Indiana Pacers and their win over the Toronto Raptors last night, 118-114. The Pacers stand a chance to make the play-in game, but do we really want them to or is it all about the draft at this point? More Notre Dame talk, this time about the appeal of Notre Dame to Shrewsberry and how the Fighting Irish benefit from his leadership.

(30:34 - 46:35) - Pro-days are going on right now. The Carolina Panthers, who currently hold the #1 overall draft pick are viewing all of the high-profile quarterbacks. Who will the Colts be looking at, and will Carolina's viewing habits change the Colts plans. Michigan State is a powerhouse in the NCAA tournament despite being a lower seed than IU and Purdue. This could be credited due to the team purposefully taking on a tougher schedule than other Big Ten Teams. Is this something Purdue coach Matt Painter or IU coach Mike Woodson should explore?

(1:13:43 - 1:26:27) - The closer we get to the transfer portal for college basketball, the more antsy players may become to change schools. Will this hurt or help IU next year? Kevin will have his shirt back on when he teaches a class at IU later today. Chris Ballard certainly has to be feeling some pressure in free agency to delive a squad the makes up for last years. Jake thinks people put too much stock in free agency and over spend on players, while Kevin thinks the value may be weighted too heavily on the draft.
(1:26:28 - 1:35:56) - Jake recalls his story about an incident with a cat. This experience has lead to him adopting a cat to try and make good on the unfortunate circumstance.
(1:35:57 - 2:06:12) - Zak Keefer of WISH TV is on the road attending Pro-Day camps, but still has time to call in to the show.

(00:00 - 13:46) - The new Colts Offensive Coordinator Jim Bob Cooter joins the show early. This is his second stint in Indianapolis as he was here before in 2009 as an Offensive Assistant. Cooter is excited to be working with Gardner Minshew again. As a staff the offense is looking to evaluate every position at this point in the off season. What does Cooter's game week look like knowing that he is not calling plays this season. The excitement of pro-days is something he looks forward to as it is the beginning of building bonds with new players.
(13:47 - 34:51) - Joel Erickson of the Indy Star calls in to talk about the Colts and the NFL Pro-day. Erickson will also be covering the owner's meeting next week. Erickson wants to know if the Colts are going to be comfortable taking a rookie quarterback and seeing how they turn out as opposed to competing for the division. The fan base clearly wants to see results next season, but a rookie quarterback might not produce those results right away. The Colts should address more positions in free agency, so they don't feel pressured in the draft. This year's draft is short on Wide Receivers which is unlike many of the previous years.
(34:52 - 1:00:45) - Dane Fife, former IU player and assistant coach joins the program to talk some NCAA basketball. Fife saw Purdue lose live to the sixteenth seed Fairleigh Dickinson. He feels like coaches probably feel more excitement around the tournament than players. Fife saw the ball start rolling against Purdue, and no one had the ability to stop it. Query wants to know if there is a certain style of play a team can have to dominate across all leagues, and not just their respective conference. Fife doesn't know if there is any certain team make up that could guarantee a team success. The key is one player who can always buy you a bucket. What will Purdue vs. IU need in the transfer portal next season?

(00:00 - 23:00) - Indiana High School sports reporter for the Indy Star Kyle Neddenrip joins the show to talk IHSAA State Finals taking place this weekend at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The conversation starts with Neddenrip recalling Indiana players he covered that are now in the NCAA Tournament, like Florida Atlantic's leading scorer Johnell Davis out of Gary, IN. Ben Davis is currently on a history making run in Indiana basketball. They will face Kokomo, and if they win will acheive an undefeated championship season. Speculation on if Markus Burton is a lock for Mr. Indiana Basketball. This year the state tournament saw a change back to its original format. Regionals being one game and Semi-States having two games in a day. Neddenrip says that the change was not received too well this year but in time people will adapt to it.
(23:01 - 39:54) - Tony East, the Sports Illustrated writer for the Pacers joins the show and talks about their unfortunate loss to the Charlotte Hornets and how it may eliminate them from a chance at playing in to the post season. East believes that the Pacers are playing a lot of young members right now not just due to team injuries, but as an audition for the future of the team. Nembhard and Nwora seem to be standouts to become key pieces of the Pacer's rotation next season. Both the backup centers in Jalen Smith and Isiah Jackson have faltered this season, according to East, and may have fewer minutes or become a higher trade piece next season. Can the Pacers intrigue Tyrese Haliburton to sign a 5-year max deal when his contract comes up. TJ McConnell was a passenger in a Rick Carlisle flown a plane to watch Xavier in Greensboro before heading to Charlotte for the game.

(00:00 - 29:24) - Kevin and Query open up the Tuesday show with a recap of the Pacers loss to the Charlotte Hornets last night. Indiana lead by a large margin in the 1st quarter and slowly let the lead slip throughout the rest of the game. Jake gave a speech at the Indiana Officials Association banquet last night. The IU women's team and men's team each lost to Miami in their respective NCAA tournaments. This is the 10th time in tournament history this has occurred. The "arena" of college athletics has changed, not just due to NIL, but because players can now be more vocal in their desires to leave schools. There are some college coaching availabilities this year for basketball teams. Penn State's Micah Shrewsberry might be available, is he a fit for Notre Dame? Colts Free Agency has gone quiet in the second week.
(29:25 - 33:26) - Morning Checkdown
(33:27 - 45:25) - Colts owner Jim Irsay like a tweet over the weekend about Indianapolis pursuing Lamar Jackson. The Colts have not rules out giving Jackson an offer, but have yet to take any steps towards signing him per Stephen Holder of The Athletic. How many years of prime Lamar Jackson are left and is it worth the money that Jackson is clearly looking for in his contract. Would it be worth it to run into a cap space issue as the Colts will likely want to extend Jonathan Taylor when his contract comes up. Right now Indianapolis should be looking to be on the upswing just as several teams in the league are approaching their down swing.
(45:26 - 1:13:41) - Indiana High School sports reporter for the Indy Star Kyle Neddenrip joins the show to talk IHSAA State Finals taking place this weekend at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

(1:13:42 - 1:25:50) - A week into free agency for the Indianapolis Colts, Kevin and Query break down the new signings and how the Colts camp has gone silent entering week two. Is Gardner Minshew ANOTHER stop gap quarterback? What happens if we have to wait another year to acquire a franchise quarterback. Minshew checks a lot of boxes for Indianapolis and seems to be a sufficient starter for the start of the season. The guys are a bit disappointed in how Indianapolis has slowed down so early into free agency when there are so many holes that still need filled.
(1:25:51 - 1:33:57) - Callers start to join in the conversation on Colts free agency. A season ticket holder will not be renewing this season, another caller doesn't know why the team or Lamar Jackson would risk pairing up.

(00:00 - 28:04) - How else could the Monday edition of Kevin & Query open than with the disappointing losses of Indiana and Purdue in the NCAA Tournament. Purdue being only the second #1 seed to fall to a #16 seed in the tournament. Jake comments on how Big Ten teams get too used to the Big Ten competition which doesn't translate to opponents from other conferences. The Boilermakers last loss was a flashback to last season when they were upset by another double-digit seed in St. Peters. Purdue got off to such a strong start because their star players experienced a huge bump in skill from last season, but once teams were able to adapt, they didn't have that same advantage. The IU Hoosiers just didn't play like a team that wanted to be there against Miami. The team didn't take advantage of what is likely their last season before a hard reset. Kevin & Query think that pretty much every IU star will be either graduating or declaring for the NBA Draft by next season.
(28:05 - 32:32) - Morning Checkdown
(32:33 - 45:27) - The first hour closes with speculation over whether or not Matt Painter will continue to be the Boilermakers head-coach next basketball season. Query believes that Painter's consistency in the regular season is testament enough to keep him for another season. Player development and high-profile wins are clearly a strength of Painter, and figuring out March is just the final step. Kevin thinks that some sort of late season gameplan change is necessary to become a strong and unpredictable team. What percentage of Purdue fans truly want Matt Painter fired?
(45:28 - 1:14:00) - Miami always had an answer for IU last night. The Hoosiers just never had a leg up from the word go and it showed. IU fans went all in on this tournament and to see players potentially not be as invested as you are in the team's success is a disappointment. Callers have a lot to weigh in on regarding Purdue. Calls range from Painter acquiring some more athletic players in the coming seasons, to questions about Painter's ability to compete in the world of NIL. Does being able to develop players really matter in a world where they can just choose to leave for more money the next season?
(1:14:01 - 1:28:53) - Jake debuts his pick for a Sweet Sixteen matchup by putting on a shirt from that college. He predicts an Arkansas victory over UConn tonight. Kevin and Query go over all the possible matchups with some banter on who they predict will be making an Elite Eight appearance. San Diego State has been a surprise this season holding both their opponents in the tournament to season lows in scoring. The Fairleigh Dickinson head-coach has stated in the past the Notre Dame is his dream job, after the Purdue upset is that more of a reasonable idea? Query believes that UMBC's upset victory was still a bigger surprise than Fairleigh Dickinson's upset over the Boilermakers. Talk returns to the Hoosiers and how their players just fell flat on every opportunity against Miami.
(1:28:54 - 1:32:32) - Touch and go segments teasing the upcoming interview with Bob Kravitz and updates on Kevin and Query's brackets.
(1:32:33 - 2:03:27) - Bob Kravitz of The Athletic joins the program to talk about the NCAA Tournament Action. Kravitz predicted that IU would be in the tournament longer than Purdue, but didn't think that Fairleigh Dickinson would be the ones to send them packing. Kravitz thinks that Purdue needs guards in order to become a team that can compete outside of just the Big Ten. He is confident that Matt Painter will become a dominant coach at some point but needs to re-evaluate his recruiting to get there. Query transitions to IU talk and asks Kravitz what the Hoosiers will need to do in order to compete next season. Kravitz says the answer is the transfer portal. Freshman won't solve the problem IU is facing, so transfers are going to be the only way to continue their competitive streak. Kevin wants to know Bob's thoughts on Colts free agency. Kravitz is interested in the fact that Indianapolis spent so much on a kicker, which there is value in since so many NFL games come down to 3 points now.

(00:00 - 14:33) - Alan Karpick of the On3 Network as well as GoldandBlack.com joins the program to talk about the big matchup with IU coming up in West Lafayette this Saturday. Karpick starts off by talking about what a week off for the Boilermakers basketball team could mean in this matchup. He views it as a new positive to reset and rest the team before a rough schedule. A win over IU this weekend paves the way for Purdue to win the Big Ten Championship. Will Mason Gillis get significant playing time against the Hoosiers? Karpick believes that Purdue can finish the season strong once they manage to control the ball better and mitigate turnovers. What teams could possibly give Purdue a hard time in the Big 10 or NCAA tournament?
(14:34 - 34:28) - From one guest right into another as Greg Rakestraw calls in to talk about the IHSAA girls' basketball tournament going on right now. Rakestraw stresses the special moments that come from these tournaments and how both students and parents will form these lifelong memories that stick with them for life. The 1A and 3A finals are being played between teams that are next door neighbors making for heavy rivalries in these championship games. Marc transitions to the conversation to IU and Purdue happening on Saturday. Will Ball State make the NCAA tournament? Conversation closes with some Colts talk as Bubba Ventrone has officially departs for Cleveland. Rakestraw would have liked for the Colts to keep him, but understands that the primary issue is still with the Colts roster.
(34:29 - 52:08) - Voice of the Hoosiers Don Fischer joins Jake and Marc to give another side of the IU vs. Purdue matchup taking place this Saturday. Jake wants to know if the Hoosiers can plug Xavier Johnson back in after injury and if he can pick up where he left off. Fischer believes that Johnson's absence has been their primary missing piece defensively. Regardless, Johnson likely will not be back for the Purdue game and is slated to possibly be available for the future Iowa matchup. Trace Jackson-Davis may not be as tired as people think he is and just had a rough night against Michigan. Jake wants to know if any type of team is IU's kryptonite. Fischer believes that it is just the consistency of the players that has lead to the Hoosier's shortcomings this season. IU's track record at home is amazing with only one loss this season but they are away at Purdue where they have struggled this year.

(00:00 - 21:22) - Jake informs Marc that Professional wrestling is fake. The St. Louis Battle Hawks defeated the Seattle Sea Dragons in their XFL matchup last night. The XFL's rule changes are seemingly fun to watch even if it isn't considered to be top-tier talent in the league. Despite the loss, the Pacers game last night against the Boston Celtics was a fun one to watch. This is a big weekend for college basketball, including IU vs. Purdue. IUPUI defeated Robert Morris, snapping a four game losing streak. Aaron Rodgers is becoming more of a burden off the field compared to helpful on the field.

(1:11:06 - 1:31:54) - More Colts talk regarding the draft. When Jim Irsay said he liked the "Alabama Guy" did he mean Bryce Young, or another Alabama player? The bad news about being #1 going into the combine is that everyone is looking for a reason to make sure you are not that person anymore. C.J. Stroud and Will Levis could suddenly become huge names due to scrutiny that Bryce Young will face from the combine. Receivers are going to start selling like hotcakes around pick number 15. The Colts can't risk drafting an Ohio State player due to their history of bad luck with them. Would Arizona be willing to trade out in order to get more picks and acquire more depth.
(1:31:55 - 1:35:28) - Seinfeld talk and a quick tease of the upcoming Don Fischer interview.

(00:00 - 15:06) - Scott Agnes of the Fieldhouse Files calls in to the show to talk about the Pacers return to action tonight against the Boston Celtics. Agnes was in Salt Lake City to watch the All-Star game and enjoyed the experience and seeing both Haliburton and Hield in the three-point contest finals. What will the All-Star weekend look like with Indianapolis next year. Is there a chance that the All-Star game will take place at Lucas Oil Stadium. Ratings were low for this year's All-Star game. Agnes says that until elite stars take the game seriously the event will always be a casual watching experience. Should the All-Star game be about determining the home court advantage in the NBA Finals? Agnes thinks the Pacers are going to reset and try to get something out of each game for the rest of the season.
(15:07 - 33:47) - Zak Keefer of The Athletic and WISH TV calls the show to talk Colts and their current coaching conundrum. Keefer anticipates that Bubba Ventrone will be leaving for Cleveland and Gus Bradley will be the only coordinator to return on the 2023 season. What coaches are currently out there that the Colts can snatch up before the season starts. Bubba finds Cleveland appealing because it was a place where he excelled during his playing career. Ballard's challenge as GM is going to be on if they can take the right QB at the four spot or move up to the first pick and lose future picks. Will the Colts have to settle for signing a bridge quarterback with an offensive line that did not protect their quarterback well last season.
(33:48 - 49:38) - Mike DiRocco ESPN's Jacksonville Jaguars reporter closes out the show talking about Jim Bob Cooter, the Colts new offensive coordinator who is coming over from Jacksonville. DiRocco gives a brief summary of Cooter's gameplan as an offensive coordinator and what he will bring from the Jaguars that will be effective for the Colts. Cooter will have a lot to work with in Jonathan Taylor, a more skilled running back than he had to work with in Jacksonville. Trevor Lawrence establishing himself last season as well as Doug Peterson's coaching helped establish the Jaguars as the team to beat in the AFC South. The Colts are perceived in Jacksonville as a talented team that can't seem to get the quarterback situation down according to DiRocco. This offseason is their chance to really turn that situation around and change the perception.

(00:00 - 22:01) - Jake and Marc get the show started with talk about the Pacers return to Gainbridge Fieldhouse tonight after the All-Star Break. Kevin is still down in Florida. Jake questions if hairsprays still are sold in aerosol cans. Alabama player Brandon Miller played last night, putting up 41 points, despite the story on how he delivered a weapon to a teammate used in a fatal shooting. Does Alabama ignoring the situation and continuing to play someone involved in legal issues put them on a slippery slope?
(22:02 - 27:23) - Morning Checkdown
(27:24 - 46:10) - Jake talks how certain bands are able to sell out venues but are somehow still no one's favorite band. Talk then transitions to the NFL draft and how certain players have started to shake up the draft order. Now is the time for prospects to start separating themselves about the talking points surrounding them. Jake highlights Will Levis and Anthony Richardson as players who have started to move their numbers simply through chatter amongst the league. The Colts may still be trying to push up for the #1 overall pick. The show then lays out how long it can take a player to truly get acclimated to the level of play they are up against in the NFL.
(46:11 - 1:14:19) - The second hour starts off with discussion over the Indianapolis Indians partnership with the Miami Nation of Indians of Indiana in order to establish relations between the team and the people their name represents. IU and Purdue are facing off in two days. Is Purdue hitting a wall after losses to Northwestern and Maryland? Indiana also looked exhausted against Michigan State.
(1:14:20 - 1:31:23) - Scott Agnes of the Fieldhouse Files calls in to the show to talk about the Pacers return to action tonight against the Boston Celtics.

IU Women's Head coach Teri Moren joins the show to talk about the teams great year and selling out Assembly Hall in their game last night. At 26-1 Moren, the all-time winning coach in IU history, is appreciating some of the historic wins that this season has brought for the team. Their latest win made IU the outright winners of the Big 10. Jake asks if coach Moren have a moment over the course of this year where she knew the team was going to be good? She says that while no specific moment has given her that feeling, the maturity of the team has her believing this is a championship team. Has recruiting gotten any more complicated as the IU Women's program has risen in notoriety? Moren is noticeably disappointed that Jake has never seen John Mellencamp & more!

(00:00)- Taylor Tannebaum, formerly of WTHR and now with the ACC Network joins the show to talk about The Colts and how Chris Ballard has fractured several relationships between the organization and players. Tannebaum expands upon her tweet from earlier in the week where she questioned how Ballard was able to continue leading this team. She has heard from a handful of players that the fracture between players and the organization has caused some of them to seek employment elsewhere. Tannebaum clarifies that the frustration in communication does not come from a place of disrespect, but a lack of trust. Tannebaum thinks Saturday is still a possible candidate for long term head coach.
(17:40) - Alex Golden of the "Setting The Pace" podcast calls into the program to talk about the Pacers. The conversation starts with Jake asking if Golden has heard anything internally about if Hield or Turner are actually available for trade. Would Mathurin or Hield accept a bench role to keep the other one here? Has Isiaah Jackson fallen out of rotation because of his play or the play of people around him? Golden believe Brisset needs more minutes to make the team more versatile, he is the only true wing the Pacers have on the floor. Golden agrees that the Pacers are ahead of schedule on where they want to be at this point in the season, but it shouldn't change their gameplan for the future because the team will still be congested with big men next season.

00:00 - Tony East of Forbes joins the program to talk Pacers and how they have really turned up this season with back-to-back road wins. East speculates on Myles Turner's potential to return to the Pacers next season, or to end up as a trade piece this year. The Pacers are extremely lucky to have enough cap space in order to potentially give Turner a reasonable offer. Turner is still young enough that keeping him as a part of future plans makes sense. Query asks East how much interest there is across the league in Buddy Hield. A little bit of gushing over how great of a player Tyreese Haliburton has turned out to be.
21:57 - Matt Taylor is on the program to talk about his Christmas and the Colts game tonight against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jake wants to know if Nick Foles starting tonight makes sense to Matt. Kevin asks if Foles will be the "chess match" type of player that we expected from Matt Ryan. Will any other players standout tonight because Foles is getting a start? Who else will be put in a position to succeed tonight? Taylor breaks down how Saturday is really limited in his ability to change the roster up in his last couple games. Potentially he can manage to give a handful of younger players some more experience.

(00:00 - 23:11) - It's the day after Christmas and Kevin and Query are on the air. Only...Kevin is in Florida. He joins via remote connection and while Jake Query holds down the fort in studio. The guys open by going over their respective holidays and the current weather conditions in Indianapolis. Kevin and Jake hypothesize on whether or not most people have today off as an observed holiday. Then it is time to talk business as the Colts take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football tonight. Nick Foles is starting at QB for the first time in exactly one year. The Pacers got a big win in Miami over the weekend. Haliburton avenged his last performance against the Heat where he only scored one point. This game he walked away with 43 points and a franchise record for most threes in a game.
(23:12 - 31:56) - Morning Checkdown
(31:57 - 42:34) - Kevin opens the segment by asking Jake to breakdown the look of Myles Turner and the Pacers relationship. Are the Pacers or Turner potentially leaking any information themselves to try and raise Turner's value. Reportedly, "rival teams" have had interest in Myles Turner and Buddy Hield this season. If the Pacers are unable to lock down Turner by the trade deadline should they risk keeping him?
(42:35 - 1:07:16) - The second hour begins with some talk about Nick Foles getting the start tonight at Lucas Oil Stadium. Why is Foles getting a shot over Sam Ehlinger? Have the Colts written off Ehlinger as a quarterback after only two starts? Query thinks that if the organization has any faith in Foles he should have been playing when the games still mattered. Kevin and Query debate the shape of the QB roaster next season. Who will still be here and who will be gone.
(1:07:17 - 1:29:14) - Tony East of Forbes joins the program to talk Pacers and how they have really turned up this season with back-to-back road wins. East speculates on Myles Turner's potential to return to the Pacers next season, or to end up as a trade piece this year. The Pacers are extremely lucky to have enough cap space in order to potentially give Turner a reasonable offer. Turner is still young enough that keeping him as a part of future plans makes sense. Query asks East how much interest there is across the league in Buddy Hield. A little bit of gushing over how great of a player Tyreese Haliburton has turned out to be.
(1:29:15 - 1:32:04) - A quick touch and go segment on plans coming up in the week.
(1:32:05 - 2:03:34) - Matt Taylor is on the program to talk about his Christmas and the Colts game tonight against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Joe Reitz calls in to the program to close out the first hour. The Colts former offensive tackle starts off with an optimistic note saying the first drive by Indianapolis was possibly their most impressive of the season. Then the wheels just proceeded to fall off after. Reitz says the Colts defense has played winning football all year except for the turnover differential. Indianapolis is -14 on the year in turnovers. Kevin wants to know if Reitz can explain the rationale behind head-coach Jeff Saturday not challenging a play late in the game. Reitz closes off with turnovers being the main reason this Colts team is one of the NFL's basement franchises this year.

Fan Tweets of The Game. Colts had three offensive players registering on the defensive box score. The team is currently 9th in the NFL Draft order right now, if the New Orleans Saints win tonight, they can move up to 8th. Most people are asking for a tank on the rest of the season. There are three quarterbacks projected to go ahead of Indianapolis in the draft going by current projections. More talk about Harbaugh and if he will end up coaching in Indianapolis next year. Kevin & Query close out the segment by taking more callers.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
(00:00 - 23:25) - The Colts game turned sour at the drop of a hat last night. Kevin and Query dig into the Colts loss to the Dallas Cowboy's last night right away. Is the magic of Jeff Saturday as head-coach starting to fade already? Kevin notes that the game was competitive in the first half, but a stale third quarter lead to a turnover filled fourth quarter. Dallas scored 33 unanswered points in the 4th quarter. Pacers are struggling on the road dropping their third game in a row in Portland. IU basketball fell hard to Rutgers as well. Jake give his predictions on the NCAA Football playoff between Michigan, TCU, Ohio State, and Georgia.

Reitz closes off with turnovers being the main reason this Colts team is one of the NFL's basement franchises this year.
(47:39 - 1:13:47) - It's time for callers to weigh in on the disappointing Colts loss. The absolute shock from some callers waking up to see that the team lost by such a wide margin. Some fans are rooting for the Colts to lose for the first time in their life so they can get a good quarterback in the draft. Is Harbaugh on a short list to become the head-coach next year? Why would Harbaugh leave Michigan?
(1:13:48 - 1:26:34) - More talk about the Colts loss last night. Matt Ryan is starting to really let on that he is not feeling great at this point in the season. Team owner Jim Irsay sat in the owner's box watching the loss happen while General Manager Chris Ballard packed up to leave. If Jeff Saturday is only the coach for five more games, then what point is there in Saturday holding players accountable who may as well not be here next year because of him.
(1:26:35 - 1:30:52) - Louisville is looking for a new head-coach for their football team, and Jeff Brohm is a prime candidate to take over that position. Should Purdue fans be worried that he will depart the team during the offseason.
(1:30:53 - 2:02:45) - Fan Tweets of The Game. Colts had three offensive players registering on the defensive box score. The team is currently 9th in the NFL Draft order right now, if the New Orleans Saints win tonight, they can move up to 8th. Most people are asking for a tank on the rest of the season.

Kevin & Query close out the segment by taking more callers.
(2:02:46 - 2:15:13) - Ballard counters roster building through the draft by saying you can pick up free agents during the season. Yet he hasn't signed many if any free agents this season. Other teams have shut the Colts down with their mid-season acquisitions. More callers join the show, one asking how Chris Ballard has made it this far with such little luck inthe draft.
(2:15:14 - 2:18:54) - The show winds down with speculation over Jeff Brohm's potential to leave Purdue and move to Louisville to become their new head-coach. Purdue did extend Brohm's contract

Stephen Holder of ESPN joins the program to kick off the second hour. Holder says that it was known Hines was unhappy in the locker room. He may not have asked for the trade but was likely fine with being moved. He doesn't know the exact parameters surrounding the trade, and what may transform the 6th round pick into a 5th round pick. Do Chris Ballard's actions yesterday speak to Chris Ballard's job security? Marc asks if the Marcus Brady firing is a scapegoat move by someone in the office. Holder details how Reich and Siriani worked well together because they had different personalities that formed a "yin-yang" situation. Holder speculates on how the Colts will fair against the New England Patriots this Sunday.
Alex Golden host of the "Setting the Pace" podcast starts the final hour talking about Myles Turner's comments on the WOJ podcast a few days ago. Golden believes the comment was fine so long as it was a hypothetical question but also wishes Turner did a better job backing that statement up against the Brooklyn Nets the following day. He also believes that head-coach Rick Carlisle has put Buddy Hield in a great position to succeed either with the team or potentially as a trade. Kevin asks if there should be urgency to get Bennedict Mathurin into the starting lineup. Golden says the Pacers are in a position to "feed-the-hot-hand" with players like Mathurin, Hield, Duarte, and Haliburton. Kevin wonders who is a key player and who is expendable or just a roll player. Golden believe Haliburton and Mathurin are the only two players who are untouchable.

(00:00 - 26:59) - The curse of Jake continues as Marc left his wallet at home. The trade deadline saw Nyheim Hines traded to the Buffalo Bills for Zack Moss and a 6th round draft pick. Along with that trade the Colts fired their offensive coordinator Marcus Brady. Were Buffalo really the best team to trade with for the Colts or were better offers out there? It has been reported that Hines made a trade request, but nothing is confirmed yet. Marc and Kevin then run down the other trades that took place up against the NFL deadline last night. Steve Nash was fired by the Brooklyn Nets after they BEAT the Pacers. Frank Reich and Marcus Brady had very similar personalities, perhaps Brady's firing was to give the Colts coaching staff a more diverse approach.
(27:00 - 31:56) - Morning Checkdown
(31:57 - 44:24) - Back in May Frank Reich said that Nyheim Hines would be an important draft for people's fantasy football teams. Apparently, he meant that for Buffalo fans instead. Callers start to weigh in on the Hines trade and Brady firing.

(1:10:36 - 1:26:12) - Marc and Kevin are joined by Brian Neubert the Purdue Boilermaker writer for on3sports. He gives a preview of Purdue's upcoming matchup against Iowa this weekend. Neubert stresses that this team needs to be more Purdue like in order for them to be successful and potentially win the Big Ten Eastern Conference. They are taking a risk on two freshman guards this Saturday. Kevin transitions Neubert over to Purdue's basketball team and how they manage to have one Mr. Basketball and one Mr. Basketball runner up. Will Purdue trust Brayden Smith with the ball right away?
(1:26:13 - 1:31:08) - Talk returns to the NFL trade deadline ending last night and the moves that were made. Kevin thinks that the deadline was exciting much like the MLB and NBA's deadlines. He then runs down the list of free agents the Colts will have next year. Marc and Kevin go back and forth on who is a "must" re-sign player for next season.
(1:31:09 - 1:56:08) - Alex Golden host of the "Setting the Pace" podcast starts the final hour talking about Myles Turner's comments on the WOJ podcast a few days ago.

Dane Brugler of The Athletic's draft analyst joins the show to breakdown where the Colts go after this trade deadline, especially in regard to the 2023 NFL Draft. Kevin asks Brugler to rank C.J. Stroud and Bryce Young as the top quarterbacks available. Are there any players that Brugler sees being a steal in the later rounds of the draft from a quarterback position. Ohio State's Dawand Jones has positioned himself higher in this upcoming draft. Kevin brings up a list of Indiana college talent and asks Brugler where they may land in 2023. Brugler believes that the Colts will likely be searching for their offensive line in the draft more than other teams this year & more!

The Colts analyst for IndyStar, Joel Erickson joins the program to talk Hines news and the potential draft moves that may come from the trade deadline. Erickson believe that while Hines is available he won't just be given away. A draft pick may not be enough to peak the Colts interest. He views a third rounder as a pretty good return for Hines, but he doesn't know exactly what Indianapolis is looking for in return for him. Do the Colts need to make any drastic moves before the trade deadline to try and fix their offensive line issues. Are a lot of these trades more to offboard the contract than they are to onboard a player or draft pick.

(00:00 - 25:46) - The first show of November begins with NFL trade deadline talk. The Colts have thrown around Nyheim Hines as a talking point for trades. Only a small handful of trades have been made so far, who knows how things will pick up as we approach 4pm today. With Hines not being a starter, what's the best the Colts could reasonably expect for him? The Colts are traveling to New England to take on the Patriots on Sunday, they are looking for their first in Foxboro since 2006. Teasing conversation about Myles Turner's potential future trade from the Pacers. Chris Duarte had an amazing game last night against the Brooklyn Nets with a 30 point game. What Halloween candy were Marc and Kevin most excited for?
(25:47 - 30:31) - Morning Checkdown
(30:32 - 46:06) - Nyheim Hines was the only player that insider Adam Schefter tweeted about last night. Both Kevin and Marc seem to agree that Hines has been massively underutilized this season. While they both like him they understand that with Jonathan Taylor on this squad they can afford to lose Hines. Roquan Smith was traded from the Chicago Bears for a second and fifth round draft pick. The hour closes with callers weighing in on the possibility of losing Nyheim Hines.
(46:07 - 1:09:34) - More Nyheim Hines trade talk and more callers who wonder what he means to the team versus what his trade value is. One caller proposes trading Jackson instead of Hine, which both hosts think won't fetch the same value as you may get for Hines. Talk so far has mostly surrounded trading Hines for a draft pick, but are there any players who we may be able to get for Hines?
(1:09:35 - 1:25:23) - The Colts analyst for IndyStar, Joel Erickson joins the program to talk Hines news and the potential draft moves that may come from the trade deadline. Erickson believe that while Hines is available he won't just be given away. A draft pick may not be enough to peak the Colts interest. He views a third rounder as a pretty good return for Hines, but he doesn't know exactly what Indianapolis is looking for in return for him. Do the Colts need to make any drastic moves before the trade deadline to try and fix their offensive line issues.

(1:25:24 - 1:31:32) - The second hour closes out with some college football talk. LSU might have a chance against Alabama. Purdue hosts Iowa, they need to win this one in order to potentially seal the deal for the Big 10 East. In Bloomington the Hoosiers might be looking at a QB change as Tom Allen hints at benching Bazelak for their game against Penn State. Quick recap of the Pacers performance against the Brooklyn Nets last night.
(1:31:33 - 1:55:04) - The Myles Turner clip from Adrian Wajnorowski's podcast is played and Kevin dives into what he sees right and what he sees right with Turner's comment and what he sees wrong with Turner's actions. Turner just hasn't been able to back up his comments with play that matches. The Lakers have very limited moves available that would be worth trading Turner for. Callers weigh in on what Turner's value is to the team and away from the team. Pacers are currently 3-5 and on track to win 30 games this season. Marc weighs the value of tanking for a draft pick against getting another player.
(1:55:05 - 2:11:14) - Dane Brugler of The Athletic's draft analyst joins the show to breakdown where the Colts go after this trade deadline, especially in regard to the 2023 NFL Draft. Kevin asks Brugler to rank C.J. Stroud and Bryce Young as the top quarterbacks available. Are there any players that Brugler sees being a steal in the later rounds of the draft from a quarterback position. Ohio State's Dawand Jones has positioned himself higher in this upcoming draft. Kevin brings up a list of Indiana college talent and asks Brugler where they may land in 2023. Brugler believes that the Colts will likely be searching for their offensive line in the draft more than other teams this year.

Both were impressed with the rookie, Marc ranked his performance a 7 out of 10 in his first game. Both question if he can maintain that level of play against the New England Patriots next week. Calls continue focusing on Frank Reich and the fanbases overwhelming desire for him to be fired. Fans from all over the United States join the show as we get callers from Maine and Texas.

(1:09:44 - 1:26:25) - Goat of the week time! Mark's GOAT is the Commanders Terry McLaurin. Kevin's "goat" is the Bally Sports Network who was dropping the game and audio during their matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. The feed was a major disappointment for Pacers fans across the state. Then the show returns to the phone lines and takes on more disgruntled callers with the Colts performance yesterday.

(1:28:53 - 1:54:57) - Kevin and Marc recap their views on the Colts and Commanders game then turn it over to the Post-Game Headlines segment where they go over the funniest tweets reacting to the Colts performance.

Greg Rakestraw makes his weekly appearance on the program to hype up high-school football playoffs happening tonight. He has the call on Carmel vs. Westfield, a competitive matchup. Another big game happening tonight would be Ben Davis vs. Brownsburg. Talk transitions to Sam Ehlinger's start as the Colts QB, Rakestraw fortunately has called all of his NFL career passes so far in the pre-season. Rakestraw was surprised that Ehlinger got the call over Matt Ryan, though he suspects that the Matt Ryan injury report might be true. There can't be any expectations on Shaq Leonard this season given how all the games prior turned out. Tarik Glenn is entering the Colts Ring-of-Honor this weekend.
Radio play-by-play voice of the Colts Matt Taylor joins the program and gives a look into what to expect from Ehlinger's first NFL appearance. A quick run over how to pronounce all the Colts players names. The Washington Commanders apparently have some difficult names to pronounce as well. Taylor believes that this Ehlinger change may be the spot that lights up the rest of this Colts team. Through seven games it is obvious that something needs to change about this team. Taylor draws a comparison between Sam Ehlinger and former IU Quarterback Peyton Ramsey as far as his potential goes. A big question is going to be if Ehlinger knows how to keep a bad play from getting worse and stopping turnovers. Taylor is not a fan of the 4 o'clock kick-off as it breaks routine.

World Series starts tonight with the Philadelphia Phillies vs. the Houston Astros. Thursday Night Football was slightly more exciting last night, though that isn't saying much. Brady falls two games below .500 for the first time in his career. Terry McLaurin and Stephon Gilmore should be an interesting duel this Sunday as the Washington Commanders take on the Indianapolis Colts. It's been over a year since some wide receivers have caught a pass from Sam Ehlinger. Jonathan Taylor will have to be on his A game if Sam Ehlinger can't get going.
(24:45 - 29:59) - Morning Checkdown
(30:00 - 43:20) - Sam Ehlinger is looking to be the first quarterback since the 80's to win their debut game with the Colts. Ehlinger is trying his best to become a strong arm quarterback. The Colts need to have someone step up in this game against the Commanders to give him some support in his first career start. Kevin thinks there is a better chance that Chris Ballard is here next year than Frank Reich. This is the lowest the Colts franchise has felt since Luck retired.

(1:11:07 - 1:25:52) - Jim Irsay has been making appearances on Washington radio programs recently. Washington's fan base is all aboard the Irsay hype train right now. This is possibly the most positive PR that Irsay has had across the league in his time as an owner. Is all the good faith getting to Irsay's head? Irsay will have the mic at half-time with Tarik Glenn, does he make any comments live to Snyder? Callers start to give their opinions on all things Irsay, Ehlinger, and weather or not it is worth it to blow up the Colts.
(1:25:53 - 1:30:22) - There was at least a chance that Matt Ryan could have heated up and made the Colts a playoff team. Ehlinger as quarterback seems more like a hail marry chance that things work out. Marc and Kevin think that there really wasn't any chance the Colts become a Super Bowl
(1:30:23 - 1:58:01) - Radio play-by-play voice of the Colts Matt Taylor joins the program and gives a look into what to expect from Ehlinger's first NFL appearance.

right now and win after his comments about Snyder. Marc wants to know if Snyder is as big of a jerk as people make him out to be.

Scott Agnes joins the show to talk about the Pacers defensive troubles last night against the Bulls.Kevin wants to know if the defensive struggles started at the end of the McMillan era and never recovered. Agnes says the Turner is a great defender but not a savior and can't turn this teams defense around. Agnes dives into how Mathurin's intensity in practice translates to the court and maybe the losing record this year competes with how he approaches the game. Mathurin continue to play the game even when most people would already consider it to be over. Kevin and Agnes talk about Jalen Smith looking impressive so far this season. Scott has a small handful of details on the Pacers city edition jerseys. He claims that this jersey is somehow better than what Nike thought up.

Zak Keefer closes out the show with Kevin and Marc. Kevin and Keefer begin talking about how Frank Reich is answering questions right now that are better suited for Chris Ballard or Jim Irsay. Keefer says it seems like Reich might be giving/defending his resume at the podium right now. He defends that Ehlinger is a quarterback that can still bring the Colts to the playoffs. Ehlinger's skillset and ability to extend plays may give the Colts an answer to their O-line struggles. Ehlinger will also provide some questions for defenses who won't be able to predict his patterns as a quarterback as easily. Irsay's voice is present in the Colts locker room all season, it affected the quarterback situation in the off-season, will it effect the coaching situation this season? If Ehlinger does well, Reich may survive as head coach for another year.

(43:06 - 1:11:26) - After the Pacers loss to the Wizards last night, Bennedict Mathurin wanted no part in shaking the other teams hands and went right to the locker room. A lot of focus on the great things that the Pacers did last night. The performance from Haliburton and Mathurin was exceptional. Mathurin scoring 19 points in his first NBA game. Callers start to trickle in and give their opinions on the Pacers loss. Greg Doyle of the IndyStar delivers a surprise call in to the show. He gives a description of this 2022-2023 Pacers season opener. Doyle expresses a hopeful future for the Pacers after watching the young talent this season.

One caller really enjoyed Mathurin's standout performance, scoring his very first shot in the NBA mere seconds after stepping on the court.

Keefer stresses that this team needs to start creating more turnovers, they can't just continue to rely on keeping up with their opponents scoring. Did Jim Irsay put an unneccessary spotlight on the Colts vs. Commanders game due to his comments about Dan Snyder.

(00:00 – 23:06) – The show opens with Kevin and Query recapping the Colts weekend training camp. The first depth chart is being released in just a few days. Kevin discusses Frank Reich’s comments over the weekend on his views about the season opener. The Colts are looking to break a streak of losing 8 straight season opening games. The crowds at these Colts training camps have been electric during the off season. There are only three teams with a worse September record than the Colts.
(23:07 – 30:02) – Morning Checkdown

Talk returns to the Colts poor starts in the season and how that reflects on the coach and general manager’s leadership of the team.
(49:31 – 1:16:52) – George Bremer of the Anderson Herald-Bulletin joins the show to talk the Colts recent roster changes and difficult decisions that Head Coach Frank Reich has to make starting off the season. Bowen is expecting Matt Ryan to get some playing time in the first few weeks of preseason. Bremer is excited and interested to see what Frank Reich decides to do with certain starters in Preseason. Bremer talks rookies Bernhard Riemann and Nick Cross, how they’ve climbed the depth charts and put themselves in a great position to start the season. Bowen believes veteran Stephon Gilmore has had a fantastic training camp so far and Gremer gives his opinion on what Gilmore can bring to this Colts defense. Query asks Gremer about possible players that Frank Reich sees potential in who haven’t had that break-out season yet. Query asks about Gremer’s top 3 favorite standouts in Colts’ camp that haven’t made the roster in years past. Bremer gives his take on the kicking battle taking place in training camp as well.

Query asks Kevin what position for the Colts is the least worrisome, Kevin thinking it is the defensive line. Today being the mid-way point of training camp will be telling about Colts progress.

Jonathan M. Alexander from the Charlotte Observer joins the show to discuss the newest Indianapolis Colt, Stephon Gilmore. We discuss what kind of player the Colts are getting when Gilmore is healthy and whether or not he is still an elite player at his position.

Signal caller in the draft?

Do the Colts have an archaic approach to roster building? Kevin and Query talk about quarterbacks and the irrational, but somehow likeable confidence of Joe Burrow. Perimeter weapons are the name of the game – Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Cooper Kupp, etc. – in the NFL and the Colts are behind the eight ball in that category.

They open up the show with the AFC and NFC Championship games: quarterback play, defense and best players on the field. Jaden Ivey’s buzzer beater lifted the Boilermakers over Ohio State on Sunday and IU got a rare, stress-free Big Ten road win against Maryland.

(24:42-42:29) To finish up the first hour, Jake and KB turn the conversation to what they learned yesterday in the context of the Indianapolis Colts. The four teams that played this weekend all have dynamic play makers in the passing game and not one running back has run for 90 yards this postseason. Do the Colts have an archaic approach to roster building? Kevin and Query talk about quarterbacks and the irrational, but somehow likeable confidence of Joe Burrow. Perimeter weapons are the name of the game – Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Cooper Kupp, etc. – in the NFL and the Colts are behind the eight ball in that category.
(42:30-1:08:11) To kick off the second hour, Kevin and Query talk more about the NFC and AFC Championship game before shifting gears to Purdue’s big time win over the Ohio State Buckeyes and Jaden Ivey’s game-winning shot. Khristian Lander played 10 solid minutes for the Hoosiers on Saturday and Jake talks about how his game allows him to shine in the AAU level but it has taken him awhile to adjust to the college game. Also, the end of the world is coming with a snowstorm this week and Jake exposes himself as someone who might not be able to make mac and cheese. Big O Tires SportsCenter.
(1:08:12-1:21:36) The Colts need a new defensive coordinator and the front office is busy interviewing people. KB and Jake discuss the coaches reported to have gotten interviews with Indianapolis. After a brief side conversation about less than comfortable topics and snow predictions, we discuss the resumes of possible defensive coordinators. Then, the conversation circles back to the roster construction of blue and white.
(1:21:37-1:32:12) To finish the hour, Kevin and Jake take a call about Jake’s affection for the Bengals fight song and Patrick Mahomes’ decision making during the AFC title game. Do we want Brady retire? We discuss that as well.
(1:32:13-2:03:45) Mark Montieth from markmontieth.com joins the show to talk about the Indiana Pacers. Is it time to call this season a wash and start to look forward to next year? 24 hours from the month of February, Mark thinks it’s time to think about the future. KB, Jake and Mark discuss the Pacers in the context of trades, the NBA Trade deadline and what type of skillsets the blue and gold need to bring in. Then, the conversation switches to how Jaden Ivey projects in the NBA and what player comparison might be appropriate for a guy like Ivey and general draft conversation for Indiana. The conversation ends with Rick Carlisle and his time back in Indy thus far. Big O Tires SportsCenter

(0:00-12:15) It’s a big show on a Friday as Kevin & Query open the show with Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus taking the job as the head coach of the Chicago Bears. Jake and KB give their takes on how Colts fans should react to the departure of Eberflus, what it means for the Colts moving forward and the future of the Indy defense.
(12:16-31:35) When one coach leaves, another must fill the void. Kevin and Query discuss potential options and what Ballard said a few weeks ago about the possible direction the defense would go if Eberflus got a head coaching job elsewhere. KB walks us through names that could end up on the sidelines in Indy including a host of coaches who were HC’s in the NFL last season.
(31:36-49:21) Indy radio legend and ISC Sports Network’s Greg Rakestraw joins the show to talk about Eberflus’ new job and whether or not he is surprised that the DC is a head coach in the NFL. He also touches on who will ultimately make the final decision on who the next DC will be in Indianapolis. Then, the conversation turns to Purdue’s win over Iowa on the road in Big Ten play and the Jaden Ivey “sit and watch” factor. Rake also touches on some high school hoops around the state.

Jake and KB give their takes on how Colts fans should react to the departure of Eberflus, what it means for the Colts moving forward and the future of the Indy defense.

(1:17:52-1:28:13) KB poses a question to Jake surrounding Chris Ballard’s feelings about wide receivers in his roster building philosophy and why that might be the case. The pair examines the No. 2 options for the four teams still standing in the NFL and wonder why receiver doesn’t seem to be a concern for Ballard.
(1:28:14-1:37:01) Joe Wiz from the Fein Line joins the show to talk about the NFC and AFC Championship games and discuss the betting side of Championship Weekend.
(1:37:02-2:05:08) To start the final hour, Jake and KB talk about who you can bet on to win Super Bowl MVP as of Friday morning. Then, they circle back to Matt Eberflus’ departure for Chicago and who they’d like to see in defensive coordinator position. Is an injection of new life what the Colts need in an organization that has gotten to a semi-stagnant point in this era of the franchise? Big O Tires SportsCenter
