| 0:00.0 | Stephen Holder is with ESPN.com. He joins us on the Java House Peel and Poor guest line. |
| 0:06.7 | And of course, has been out at the Colts Complex. Stephen, I'm going to begin with something |
| 0:11.6 | that we were just talking about earlier and it's a little off the beaten path perhaps and maybe |
| 0:15.7 | even ahead of the game. But thinking about Aaron Neesmith and the Pacers announcing, you know, his extension within their franchise. |
| 0:24.6 | I look at Alec Pierce and he is clearly becoming a piece that the Colts are going to want to maintain. |

| 1:24.0 | But I think the problem with Alec Pierce, and it's not a problem, it's just a reality, right? The |
| 1:29.0 | reality with Alec Pierce is that it is going to be expensive, probably more than people realize. |
| 1:36.3 | All right now, Michael Pittman Jr. is around, what, $21, $ 22 million a year. |
| 1:44.8 | I think he, |
| 1:45.5 | in terms of this particular season, |
| 1:47.5 | he might have the biggest cap number on the team even. |
