Summary
(00:00-26:09) – Query & Company opens on a Thursday with Jake Query and producer Eddie Garrison discussing the passing of two legendary figures in the Indianapolis sports industry. Dave Calabro, formerly with WTHR, joins Jake Query in sharing stories about Don Hein following the announcement of his passing earlier today and what he learned from Hein as being the guy who was brought in to replace Hein when he retired. Additionally, Calabro comments on the passing of Dick Mittman.
(26:09-39:54) – JP Shadrick from Jaguars.com is the next company camp caravan stop for Query & Company. Jake asks JP about the transition for Head Coach Liam Coan so far, where Trevor Lawrence is at mentally as he tries to learn his third different offense in his career, believes that Jacksonville will let Travis Hunter play both offense and defense, and shares what the Jaguars fans think of the Indianapolis Colts.
(39:54-53:40) – The first hour of the program concludes with Jake and Eddie discussing the likelihood that the Indiana Pacers are going to bring back some collection of Isaiah Jackson, Thomas Bryant, and James Wiseman to go with Tony Bradley next season.
(53:40-1:16:59) – Hour two of the program starts with Jake Query and Eddie Garrison debating whether the Indiana Pacers fandom is growing nationally following this postseason run. Eddie highlights something he heard on one of the local TV stations from a couple. Jake compares what the Pacers are experiencing right now from a national standpoint to the days when the Colts were on top of the NFL.
(1:16:59-1:30:50) – Tim Benz from Tribune Sports in Pittsburgh joins Query & Company as Jake’s company camp caravan continues. Their conversation starts with Tim explaining why he isn’t buying into the Steelers being “all in” this season, thinks that the signing of Aaron Rodgers is comparable to them bringing Russell Wilson in a season ago, and shares what the perception of the Colts is within Pittsburgh.
(1:30:50-1:38:43) – The second hour of today’s show wraps up with Jake discussing his July 4th plans. He also pays tribute to Don Hein and Dick Mittman after learning about their passing earlier today with those two being sports icons during the start of his professional career.
(1:38:43-2:05:42) – Tony East from Locked On Pacers and Forbes Sports joins the program to discuss the Myles Turner fallout. He explains why Turner would be so adamant on a fourth year on a contract offer with a player option being the fourth year and having a 15% trade kicker if he is traded by the Bucks. Jake also asks Tony about which of the three free agent centers could be back for next season, admits that he’s fascinated to see what the Pacers do this upcoming season from a transaction standpoint with money being the primary focus, and expresses some frustrations on how people are covering and creating narratives about the Fever.
(2:05:42-2:14:22) – Since there are no shows tomorrow on July 4th, Jake shares his Good For The Heart story brought to you by Franciscan Health! Today’s story features a store owner keeping his business going just for one specific customer to keep a tradition and daily routine going.
