Monday 9/24 - Colts Training Camp Ramps Up Soon, Pacers Special Announcement for the 2024 All-Star Game, and Joel Erickson Joins the Show! Jul 24, 2023

Show notes

(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.

Friday 7/21 - Colts Unveil Alternate Jerseys, Women's World Cup is Underway, Greg Rakestraw and George Bremer Join! Jul 21, 2023

Show notes

(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.

(2:00:53 - 2:12:29) - Pop Quiz

(2:12:30 - 2:20:02) - Jake can stop a Bucc-ee's competitor Wally's on his way to Iowa.

Rick DeMulling Stops by The Show! Jul 20, 2023

Show notes

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 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.

Thursday 7/20 - Colts Unveil New Alternate Uniforms, Jarace Walker Injury News, Rick DeMulling, Scott Agness, and Zak Keefer Join The Show Jul 20, 2023

Show notes

(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." 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.

(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.

(2:04:23 - 2:12:34) - Pop Quiz

(2:12:35 - 2:21:10) - The Colt's alternate jersey is being revealed today. Jake and Marc run down some of their favorite NFL jerseys of all time.
