| 0:00.0 | California, indeed, where we are headed. |
| 0:03.0 | It's a matter of fact, as I have only mentioned, 464 times on this program. |
| 0:08.3 | Whenever the Rams and the Colts play, it should be pointed out that these two franchises at one time were involved with an owner swap. |
| 0:18.8 | By that, I mean when Bob Ursay, who was living in Chicago, initially wanted to |
| 0:23.8 | become an NFL owner, he bought the Los Angeles Rams and then made a trade, an ownership |
| 0:29.3 | trade with the Rosenblum family who owned the Baltimore Colts, and thus he became the owner |
| 0:35.3 | of the Baltimore Colts, ultimately moved them to Indianapolis. |
| 0:37.9 | Speaking of moves, Nate Atkins from the athletic out in Los Angeles, of course, formerly with the Indianapolis Star, and it's just getting acclimated to the West Coast in covering the Rams who the Colts will see this Sunday, and he joins us now on the program. |
| 0:52.3 | Nate, welcome back to the Indianapolis Airwaves. How are you? Doing well, Jake. Thanks for having me. It's cool to get to talk about, you know, one team that I'm getting to know, one team that I knew for the past four years. And nice to have a big game too. I did not expect the Colts to be 3 and L, but it's real nice to them to get good right as I left the beat. |
| 1:12.3 | You know, if you get homesick at all, and I can't, what is your hometown, Nate? Where did you grow up? Ashland, Ohio, which is about an hour south of Cleveland. Home of Tim Richmond, by the way. I think we might have discussed that. So if you get homesick for |
| 1:28.3 | Indianapolis, though, just a little tip here, and then we can get to football. What I have found is |
| 1:33.2 | when you're in the Los Angeles area, if you walk the Santa Monica Pier and just take a look at the |
| 1:37.9 | Pacific Ocean, it does kind of feel like you're at Wolfies at Geist. So just so you know. |
| 1:43.4 | Okay. Yeah, that was my first thought when I got out there. So tell you what, it's like you're at Wolfie's a geist. So just so you know. Okay. Yeah, that was my first thought |
| 1:45.8 | when I got out there. So tell you what, it's like you move all the way out here and you're really in |
| 1:49.8 | the same place. Yeah. Yeah, and the weather as well, right? Let's begin with this. From the Rams |
| 1:56.8 | standpoint, and Eddie pointed this out, I was looking at it more yesterday, and it is of interest |
| 2:02.9 | to me. Matthew Stafford, who is obviously a big, armed, strong-armed quarterback, he has |
| 2:08.8 | thrown the majority of his passes to this point. Now, it's early in the year, but, you know, |
| 2:13.6 | Devante Adams and Pugua, the two guys that are catching the majority of passes. |
| 2:18.4 | Is that simply a familiarity thing, or are the Rams at this point limiting themselves of, |
