(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.
