Brett is joined in Hour 1 on a Monday by Kent Sterling of KentSterling.com! The two discuss the disappointment that many Colts fans felt when Anthony Richardson did not get any playing time in the preseason game that took place over the weekend. What is more important for Anthony Richardson to both Brett and Kent, playing time and experience, or starting the regular season in perfect health? Does health matter if you don’t have the experience? Lastly on the Colts, what is Kent hoping to see from Indianapolis in their final preseason game against Shane Steichen’s old team, the Philadelphia Eagles. Does he want to see more from the quarterbacks? Or perhaps another position? Brett also gets Kent’s thoughts on Mike Woodson getting a million dollar bonus to his salary.  Does Kent think that Woodson deserved the raise for the level of play that we have seen from the Hoosiers under his tenure? All that and a lot more fun with Kent Sterling. Also in the hour, we discuss the TinCaps roster being decimated by many of the team’s best players being moved up to the Double-A San Antonio Missions for a promotion while the ‘Caps are in the midst of a playoff battle.

Brett is joined in Hour 2 of the Sports Rush today by Joel Erickson who covers the Indianapolis Colts for the Indy Star! Joel shares his thoughts on Anthony Richardson being named the starting quarterback for the Colts this season, whether or not he thinks he’s ready, and more. We also hear from Joel about what other players on the roster feel about Anthony getting the nod by head coach Shane Steichen, is the general consensus throughout the locker room that AR is ready to go? And of course, Brett also must ask Joel about the obvious elephant in the room, that being the Jonathan Taylor situation. Although he is back at practice but not participating due to being on the PUP list, is that really all there is to the story? Brett asks Joel if he thinks that there is more to the story between the Colts and JT that no one is really discussing. Is it more than just not playing because of rehab? Is there bad blood?
