My Keurig is so dam slow :cool:

Deon Cane will replace Hilton as the WR1 either this season or next season.

He's just an act and it's totally disingenuous. His shtick is to be brash or confrontational, but his show is really a lot of dead air and poorly thought-out arguments. Like when he had Ballard on last year. He just had him on to ambush and troll him, but Ballard was having none of it. Dakich looked like an ass, Ballard came out looking great and clearly not playing into the reaction Dakich wasn't to provoke.

I just think Dakich is lazy and disingenuous on his show. Not to mention hypocritical as hell (the whole I'm-not-in-media-so-I'm-exempt-from-criticism thing while clearly being in media). He resorts to a lot of the "well I coached so I know and you don't" line of thinking, which is irrelevant to almost anything in football, let alone the fact that he coached poorly when he did coach. If he has to deal with even a modicum of challenge, he shouts over someone or disconnects their call.

I honestly can't fathom how anyone could like the guy's show.

Smitty, can I report this post? He’s trolling to give me an aneurysm.

Ok, sure

Nothing is dam slow, except Dam, himself.

I agree. A big time playmaker TE can take a team further than WR. From what little I got to see of this years Colts they seem far more physical than finesse. Ballard seems to be doing a good job.

Come on dude. Your better than that

What are you smoking FatDT? Never mind, just send me some. Thanks.

I would be happy if Cane becomes a great #2 option.

He coached and yes I like hearing about his experiences and his inside stories. I don’t feel like anybody on the radio is more knowledgeable or does anything special that any of us on here don’t do but yes his experience/ stories are better than query/ Shultz and Grady/ big joe.

Venturi wasn’t a good coach either but I enjoy his analysis of colts games

He’s Anquan Boldin with speed. He will be the greatest Colts WR since Marvin Harrison.

I just listened to the first podcast of the Jeff (Rickards) & Big Joe Show. SMH. Pure "white guys talk about sports" radio. Dude sounds like JMV on quaaludes and he has a goofy laugh that he forces too much. It's the first show and it has to get better, but it isn't close to what it used to be.

So you miss Grady's "I'm too cool for you cuz I'm friends with athletes" schtick?

Yep. A lot.

I think Grady was just a great counterbalance to Big Joe. The two worked REALLY well together.

Joe would say something like "well, actually the offensive line played pretty good" in 2017.

Grady would just say "Joe...Joe. C'mon, man."

It made for good radio when one checked the other, honestly. Plus, a lot of the little flourishes like Pop Quiz/Willy Wonka were Grady's ideas.

Venturi would sell you a hamburger on Thursday and call it a hot dog the next Tuesday.

Who do you recommend?

I mean, Venturi's not bad in terms of Xs and Os (he doesn't do anything a number of other people couldn't do, but he does it well enough), but my point was more that he never keeps the receipts on what he says, says dumb shit, and then pretends he said the opposite all along. He toots his own horn a lot, and he's not exactly Tony Romo. You could put ESPN's Matt Bowen on and get the same if not better.

The problem with Indy is more that it's a small media pond. If you don't have exposure or attention set outside of Indy, the options are pretty limited, especially for certain things. I'd say Horseshoes with Holder is a pretty informative podcast, but it's irregularly-published and hasn't really found an identity yet. I like the guys on Chopping Wood but Indystar makes it a pain in the ass for Android users to get that podcast, so I don't bother.

There just aren't a lot of great local options in Indy radio. Small market. Given that, I tend to listen to JMV interviews and Query & Schultz myself.

On a scale of 1 to stick-an-ice pick-in-your-ear-canal, how terrible is trying to listen to a Matt Danely-hosted podcast?

I don't really have any issues with the guy himself. I just think it's weird that he has a podcast and I don't even know who he is, quite honestly. That's not trying to be mean. I just genuinely don't. I know who random Colts Twitter guys who just tweet and don't write/podcast/etc. are more than I know who Danely is.

I've listened to his podcast. I personally just find that he says some strange things. Like, if I were to insta-podcast after a game and just basically translate my 10-20 postgame thoughts I write on here after games, I doubt that he would touch on more than 1-2 of them and instead would reinforce something that makes me think "that's a really odd thing to say / dwell on / etc."

I listen to his podcast most of the time. I don’t have a problem with it. Like most football podcasts, they seem geared towards dumb people. I tried listening to that forthecolture podcast and it was shit. That jersey accent made me just want to beat him.

That theme song though is absolute garbage.

That rap shit? WHO WE TALKIN BOUT / INDIANAPOLIS COLTS AFC SOUTH / FLY ROUTE LET'S AIR IT OUT.

Cringe factor is off the charts. I like how Holder also got a podcast on Stampede Blue and he was clearly like "naw" to that intro song haha.

I wonder who’s idea that was. I’d like to see their taste in music, bet it’s pretty bad.

It was there I think the first week and then he had something different as an intro
