The Ride with JMV

00:00 – 23:57 – JMV begins by talking about the Colts, and their upcoming game against the Texans.

He also mentions the Colts honoring longtime Colts beat writer Mike Chappell by renaming the media room after him.

23:58 – 36:34 – Eddie Gill from the Pacers Radio Network joins the show ahead of the Pacers regular season opener against the Detroit Pistons! They talk about the expectations for the Pacers, and how they cannot rest on their laurels from last year.

40:34 – 1:07:49 – JMV first reflects on the passing of Fernando Valenzuela, the Dodgers pitcher who spawned “Fernandomania” back in 1981.
