(28:37 - 43:13) - A detailed breakdown of the Irsay audio against Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder. Clips are played of the interview Irsay gave after yesterday's owner meeting where he originally spoke against Snyder. Irsay spoke out despite Snyder's alleged attempts to silence other owners. Jake has only one fear about Irsay's comments, being that the investigation is still ongoing and making comments may derail the investigation. Kevin reaffirms that Irsay is doing something that not enough people do in general, but especially for owners in the NFL. 

(43:14 - 1:11:34) - Stephen Holder of The Athletic and IndyStar calls into the program and gives his take on the Irsay situation. Query and Holder go back and forth about how Irsay is probably the owner people know most about in the
NFL. This benefits Irsay's ability to speak against Snyder as there is likely nothing that could come out against him that most don't already know about. Kevin wonders how other owners will handle the Snyder controversy moving forward. Talk turns to the future of this Colts season. If Jonathan Taylor's injury lead to the Colts choosing to play the no-huddle offense last Sunday. Holder is excited for the Commanders vs. Colts matchup later this year.  

(1:11:35 - 1:24:41) - Are running quarterbacks really in that much danger in the NFL? Callers come on the show to talk Colts play calling. What is the commitment to Jonathan Taylor long term. More talk about if the Colts should continue with
the no-huddle offense long term. Not every quarterback can handle no-huddle offense, but Matt Ryan can. The Joe Montanna - John Candy Superbowl Story. 

(1:24:42 - 1:28:59) - Is Grover Stewart the best Colts runningback that you never see their jersey out in the wild. Is the ceiling lower or the floor higher for Colts linemen without Shaquille Leonard? 

(1:29:00 - 1:57:13) - Pacers television commentator Chris Denari comes on the program to hype up the season opener with the Washington Wizards later tonight. Denari stresses that the team needs to hit the ground running because this season will only get more complicated for the Pacers as the season goes on. He thinks that this season will give fans a lot of high moments to talk about seeing this young talented team surprise other teams in the NBA. Jalen Smith could be a big figure for the Pacers this year after choosing to remain with the team. Query wonders what player will benefit most from a year without expectation? Denari thinks a lot of the roster is going to benefit from a season without expectations as several members are 22 years old and just getting their first taste of NBA level play.
