16:58 - Remembering Jim Irsay: A Legacy Beyond the Colts

28:39 - Thunder-T’Wolves Game 2 Preview + Real Things: SGA

Following the news of Colts owner Jim Irsay’s passing, Craig pays tribute to a figure who left a lasting impact not only on Indianapolis but the NFL as a whole. Craig reflects on Irsay’s legacy as a passionate and bold team owner, and particularly remembers his role in helping to bring about the end of the Dan Snyder era in Washington. From his football influence to his off-field candor, Irsay’s contributions to the league won’t be forgotten.

Jordan Schultz reported that Terry McLaurin missed a voluntary Commanders practice yesterday, and while it’s notable given McLaurin is entering the final year of his contract, Craig doesn’t think it’s cause for concern. He explains why McLaurin’s absence likely isn’t contract-related — but even if it is, the veteran wideout has every right to take a stand. Craig highlights McLaurin’s leadership, consistency, and professionalism throughout his career, making it clear that No. 17 has more than earned a big payday.

Craig and Anthony begin the show reacting to the stunning meltdown by the Knicks in their loss to the Pacers, where New York blew a 9-point lead in the final minute. Still in disbelief, they break down how Indiana pulled off yet another improbable postseason comeback — their third this playoffs alone after trailing by 7 points with under a minute to go in each of those games.

From 'Take Command' (subscribe here): Last offseason, Dan Quinn and Adam Peters targeted tons of players in free agency that had ties to Quinn such as Bobby Wagner, Dante Fowler Jr, Dorance Armstrong, and Tyler Biadasz, which has fans asking "How much can a coach bringing in a familiar veteran free agent help accelerate a roster build?" ...
