Indianapolis Colts Owner Jim Irsay reveals to Ryan just how close the team came to choosing him over Peyton Manning in the 1998 NFL Draft, his close friendship with the late writer Hunter S. Thompson including a recording of the famed writer leaving him a scathing voicemail, why he reached out to Leaf after his the former NFL quarterback’s post-playing career troubles with addiction, and how much of the bad buzz surrounding Leaf before the ’98 Draft got back to him.  The guys wrap up the hour revealing their final choices for their ‘Breakfast Club’ detention group.
