Thursday 10/26 - Pacers Get The Win in Their Season Opener, Colts vs. Saints is Important on Sunday, Scott Agness Joins the Show!
(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.

(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.

The ten-year vet spent the last season with the Chicago Cubs and experienced all the new rule changes in Major League Baseball. He believes the rules have had an overall positive impact on the game. The pitch clock has accomplished its mission of speeding the game up, games were on average 30-40 minutes shorter than last season.

Thursday 10/19 - Richardson Officially Out For Season Getting Shoulder Surgery, Will Carroll Joins To Break Down Richadson's Options
(00:00 - 15:44) - New news around the Indianapolis Colts breaks after the show every day. Yesterday it was the news that Anthony Richardson is out for the season as they will be receiving surgery on their AC joint following an injury during a game against the Tennessee Titans. Who Dey? vs. Who Dat? Kevin thinks there is still a chance that the Colts get positive returns on Anthony Richardson than they originally thought. (15:45 - 21:32) - Morning Checkdown (21:33 - 44:33) - Creed was at the ALCS game last night. Andy resets the scene about what this Colts season was about prior to Richardson's injury. How does the injury and surgery affect the team's approach to next year. Andy thinks the Colts receiving core needs to be re-assessed for Richardson next season. Some audio on Shane Steichen and how play calling around Richardson may change due to his injuries. Minshew has thrown more passes than Richardson this year. Several players will. (44:34 - 1:11:51) - More clips from Steichen on Richardson's injury and how it will effect the team. Richardson will still remain involved in meetings and be around the team learning while he recorvers.

The Indiana Pacers will still be on Bally Sports this year. The team is offering a six game package that comes with a year subscription to Bally Sports. What does the roatation look like going into the final pre-season game, and how will the line-up look for the team when the regular season tips off? Agness talks about the Bicentenial plaza and renovations going on at the Fieldhouse now. Gainbridge is officially a cashless venue. A bit of Trayce Jackson-Davis talk to close the conversation. (1:25:08 - 1:31:46) - The 2023 Cleveland Brown's defense has been the hardest team to get a first down against in the NFL in the last 24 years. (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? Carroll believes the bigger worry is if the arm will heal correctly instead of total rehab time. The type of fiber that will be used on Richardson was invented as recently as 2018. A little bit of talk about Aaron Rodgers and his comeback from similar surgeries. (1:57:13 - 2:10:21) - Jason Hammer of WIBC's Hammer and Nigel joins the show to talk sports bets.
