(00:00 - 26:08) - Beautiful day to start off this episode of Query & Company. Jake finally had someone announce that they are "part of the company" at the gym yesterday. NFL teams that are built around one player and the expectations for the Indianapolis Colts moving forward. Aaron Rodgers season ending injury moves the Jets out of championship contention. Their back-up Zack Wilson has some slight Johnny Manziel vibes. Could the Colts be too comfortable letting Richardson get tackled due to his size? The Colts are too easy to defend with their current offensive set-up. Jake's open invitation to a specific listener to talk about whatever topic they want. (26:09 - 39:40) - Caller wants to talk JK Dobbins injury. Jake goes down a list of players who tried to continue after an Achillies injury with various levels of success. The second caller believes that Steichen made the wrong calls at the end of the game.   (39:41 - 43:15) - Touch and go segment on another caller's question, do any of the hosts have a shirt in their closet with an inside joke? (43:16 - 1:07:11) - Randy Muller former NFL General Manager, and now a podcast host and columnist with The Athletic joins the program. Jake wants to know Muller's first impression of Anthony Richardson now that week 1 is in the books. Points per game is way down early in the season. Did Muller ever look at any of his teams and think it was a bad roster? Muller sees talent in Richardson, just hasn't found the right skill set to excel in the NFL yet. He believes that a quarterback needs time to develop from the bench before he gets control of an offense, citing Jordan Love who say in Green Bay for roughly 3-4 years behind Aaron Rodgers. (1:07:12 - 1:25:02) - Talk about where you would relocate an NFL team to and what their name would be. If you would rename any of the Indianapolis teams. Are the Colts in a position where they need to start scrambling for a running back. A caller asks if you'd rather overpay for Jonathan Taylor to help Richardon's, or trade him for an elite receiver. Another caller modifies one of the relocation suggestions. (1:25:03 - 1:27:51) - Touch and go with one caller who supports the Sam's NFL relocation team. (1:27:52 - 1:57:00) - Stephen Holder calls in to the show to talk Colts. Jake immediately asks Holder if Shane Steichen will make any changes to the running game to support Richardson. Holder says that until the Colts run game is solved defenses will continue to just play deep and limit Richardson's passing yards. Did the Colts manage to escape week 1 without any major injuries? Bernhard Raimann is growing at a good rate year over year. Holder talks more about the running back situation around the league and who the Colts might be able to target. Where else can Steichen and the Colts improve heading into week 2? Holder believes that dynamic play from skill positions is needed. (1:57:01 - 2:01:53) - Tyrese Haliburton's performance in the FIBA World Championships made him look really good. It was slightly disappointing to see Team USA lose, but it may rejuvenate players in the future according to Jimmy. (2:01:54 - 2:05:26) - JCook's plays of the day. A final caller talks Colts. Some JMV banter between the shows.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

0:00 ... Ross Geiger welcomes everyone to the show 1:04 ... Ross live commercial read for Bet Online 1:38 ... Bruce Bernstein introduces our special guest Marc Kestecher, the Voice of the NBA on ESPN Radio 2:34 ... Marc tells the story of how he first came into contact with Bruce at the 2006 NBA All Star Game in Houston and how their friendship almost ended before it even began. 3:40 ... Marc will celebrate his 25th year at ESPN in 2024 and he explains how he almost gave up on doing "play by play" but ESPN Radio showed confidence in him and the rest is history. 6:02 ... Marc called games from the Orlando Bubble in 2020 and shares some stories of life in the bubble, including bonding with fellow broadcasters when they were allowed to interact outside of the quarantine area. 8:02 ... Marc discusses his experiences working with Doris Burke and how she is a trail blazer, is able to multitask while doing a live game, and talking with the producer in between her comments. 10:27 ... Marc's broadcast partner PJ Carlesimo famously organizes postgame meals on the road, sometimes pulling off what would be impossible for mere mortals but is routine for PJ. 14:54 ... Marc marvels at the incredible energy of ESPN Radio analyst and Hall of Famer Hubie Brown, who is close to 90 years old but still on top of his game. 18:30 ... Marc will be calling college football games before NBA season starts and he is very excited to be calling the top 10 matchup between Florida State and LSU over Labor Day weekend. 20:18 ... The FIBA World Championships are underway in the Phillipines and the crew discusses which players are setting themselves up for breakout seasons after performing well in the tournament. 22:54 ... Team USA head coach Steve Kerr has done a great job managing the frustration of players who wish they could have a bigger role in the tournament. 25:06 ... Anthony Edwards of the Timberwolves and Paolo Banchero are growing really quickly as a result of their FIBA experiences and Marc is really excited about Banchero and also how the Wolves will be impacted by an improved Edwards. 28:17 ... Our Two-a-Days begin with an examination of the Denver Nuggets.  We react to Track & Field star Noah Lyles' weird comment on how the Nuggets should not be called "World Champions" because they're "United States Champions." 30:08 ... The Nuggets have had a very quiet off season, but have they improved the roster enough to repeat?  The team will miss Bruce Brown, but Christian Braun should be ready to expand his role.  And Marc feels that Reggie Jackson will have a bigger role. But the Nuggets don't need to win 65 games to be in position to repeat as champs. 34:21 ... Nikola Jokic is 28 years old and many players are at their best between the ages of 28-32, so is it possible we haven't even seen the best of Jokic?  Joker loves talking about his teammates, so the thought of him actually improving is downright scary. 36:32 ... Our "Two-a-Days" continue with a discussion of the Boston Celtics and whether Kristaps Porzingis will make the team better and how he will fit in with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.  Marc really likes the new assistant coaches on Joe Mazzulla's staff. 39:39 ... Will Jaylen Brown's huge new contract mean that he faces more pressure than any other NBA player next season? 41:23 ... Ross wonders if Porzingis and Robert Williams III will play significant minutes together next season. 42:27 ... Marc expects the Celtics will miss Marcus Smart a lot, but Malcolm Brogdon and Derrick White are very capable in their roles. 43:46 ... Mailbag Time!  "Who will be traded first: James Harden or Damian Lillard?"  Marc and Ross say Harden and Bruce says Lillard because "we know at least one team is interested in Dame." 45:05 ... The crew responds to a question about the new NBA Midseason Tournament and whether it will be successful. 49:38 ... Bruce joked that Pacman Jones was the MVP of the 2007 NBA All Star Game when it was in Las Vegas because he had a "big" weekend back then.  Marc tells a story about how he took his family to Vegas that year and his wife never wants to go back! 50:10 ... The guys answer a listener's question about which NBA players will take a big leap forward as a result of their involvement in the FIBA Tournament.  Marc and Bruce singled out Paolo Banchero and Austin Reaves while Ross chose Walker Kessler of the Jazz. 53:28 ... Marc shares his social media handles if anyone wants to follow him on X-Twitter. 54:10 ... Ross says goodbye TRT 54:30

0:00 ... Opening and welcome 0:22 ... Ross dedicates episode #57 to former NBA official Greg Willard who passed away in 2013 and wore that number on his jersey. 1:40 ... Bet Online live read from Ross 2:20 ... Bruce introduces this week's guest Shaun Powell of NBA TV and NBA.com 4:02 ... World B's opening comment is on basketball in Los Angeles with uncertain futures for both the Lakers and Clippers. 5:40 ... Bruce's opening comment is on LeBron James not retiring as a player, but he is retiring the #6 jersey in honor of Bill Russell. 7:22 ... Shaun's opening comment is on how the FIBA World Championships are this summer and how he believes if there were a game between International stars and American born stars, the International team would win. 12:00 ... Summer League thoughts with Cleveland beating Houston in the championship game 13:00 ... Shaun's feelings about the Houston Rockets and what their prognosis is for the upcoming season 15:35 ... World B feels the Rockets need to improve their shooting, but he is taking a wait and see approach 16:54 ... Ime Udoka will bring a renewed commitment to defense for Houston. 18:57 ... Ross is impressed with how the Rockets performed, including rookie Cam Whitmore. 20:59 ... The Portland Trailblazers have a sticky situation with Damian Lillard and his trade demand and Shaun wonders why the Blazers didn't trade him sooner. 24:35 ... Bruce feels that Lillard and his agent Aaron Goodwin put the Blazers in a box by demanding a trade to one team only: the Miami Heat. 26:38 ... Shaun feels Blazers rookie Scoot Henderson will come into the league and be a mature performer right out of the gate. 28:30 ... Bruce has lots of love for Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and believes he should be in the Basketball Hall of Fame.  Unfortunately for Bruce, none of his colleagues agree with him.   Luckily Bruce has thick skin and his feelings were not hurt. 33:29 ... The guys discuss James Harden and his demand to be traded from Philadelphia.  Shaun is tired of his yearly demands and feels he is team hopping and has "basketball insecurity." 35:43 ... Shaun understands why Joel Embiid wants Harden to stay in Philly. 36:08 ... Bruce feels Harden's performance last season was the best version of his "current self" and World B points out what an efficient duo he was with Embiid. 37:48 ... Phoenix traded Cameron Payne, leaving them without a true point guard.  Shaun feels that with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, two of their top guns don't really need a point guard because they can create for themselves. 40:12 ... Bruce initiated a discussion on DeAndre Ayton and whether new head coach Frank Vogel can get the best out of him. 41:43 ... World B feels that Vogel, known as a defensive oriented coach will be sorely tested by his new team and their defensive deficiencies. 42:36 ... Jaylen Brown has yet to sign a supermax deal but Shaun feels many teams are getting sticker shock and Brown may not deserve the supermax salary and that could be why he has not yet come to terms with the Celtics on a new deal. 45:06 ... Bruce has praise for Brown because he has leadership qualities and with Marcus Smart gone and Al Horford nearing retirement, he feels Brown will soon be the leader of the team. 47:00 ... The second apron of the new salary cap is something that is a huge factor moving forward when it comes to team building.  Shaun explains the financial stakes for owners and general managers. 48:12 ... Ross is concerned that the OKC Thunder may soon be contending with salary cap issues. 49:44 ... With all of the brothers currently playing in the league, we play Word Association with Shaun.  The Mobleys (Isaiah and Evan), the Holidays (Jrue, Justin, and Aaron), and the Balls (Lonzo and LaMelo) are our subjects 53:03 ... Final Thoughts: Bruce on new Indiana Pacer Bruce Brown, who signed a big free agent deal despite not being a typical "star" player. 54:17 ... World B's closing comment is on the rising OKC Thunder and their bright future.  And now Chet Holmgren is ready to play after missing last year due to injury, so the team looks poised for a playoff appearance. 55:58 ... Shaun's final thought is on NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and all of his great achievements as he begins his 10th season as NBA Commissioner. 59:12 ... Ross lives in Phoenix and the weather has been historically hot with 20 straight days hitting 110 degrees.  Let's just say its effects have been felt! 1:00:20 ... Shaun shares his twitter handle and lets everyone know how to find him. 1:00:56 ... Ross wraps it up and says goodbye TRT 1:01:13  

Mikal Bridges was chosen and committed to play for Team USA in the FIBA World Championships this summer, joining a team featuring Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton, and Jalen Brunson among others.

Doug Norrie breaks down the addition of Bridges and how some other Nets will be featured in the games. Plus, he discusses the report that Kyrie Irving and LeBron James might be gauging the latter coming to Dallas in the offseason.

On this week's podcast, Courtney Ward catches up with Shoalhaven basketball legend Phil Lynch. Lynch started playing hoops in 1961 at Nowra High School and HMAS Albatross prior to the Tigers Den being built. This is where his love for the game started, which saw him go on and represent Shoalhaven, Newcastle, NSW and eventually Australia. After ending his playing career back where it all started, in the Shoalhaven, Lynch transitioned into a media career. This eventually saw him move to Canberra to work on the radio but also commentate sport, predominantly basketball. Being so good at what he did, Lynch had the opportunity to commentate at four Olympic Games, three FIBA World Championships and two Commonwealth Games. The now 70-year-old also had a big role in setting up the Bernie Regan Memorial Sporting Trust - which has donated more than $370,000 to junior Shoalhaven athletes over the past 34 years. So tune in to hear the pair's in-depth chat about Lynch's amazing career.

MLB Network Radio host joined Jody to discuss if he likes the idea of the one game Wild Card matchup, whether the NL or AL race is more enticing, if there should be a reform for the playoff format and his thoughts on Gregg Popovich's comments on their 7th place finish at the FIBA World Championships.

The second hour of the show starts with Gabe and Joe talking about the great play of Danny Dimes Jones, saying that he will be the starting QB at some point soon, even though Gabe thinks he should be the starter right now. Today's edition of Get Off My Lawn has Gabe telling Ezekiel Elliott that he better get a deal done, because the NFL will go on with or without him. Pete Yannopoulos  joins the show to talk about too many NBA players skipping the FIBA World Championships.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What would you like to be remembered for? Your legacy. Bolton was named to the team representing the USA at the World University Games held during July 1991 in Sheffield, England. While the USA team had won gold in 1983, they finished with the silver in 1985, in fifth place in 1987, and did not field a team in 1989. The team was coached by Tara VanDerveer of Stanford. After winning opening games easily, the USA faced China in the medal round. The USA shot only 36% from the field, but limited the team from China to 35%, and won 79–76 to advance to the gold medal game. There they faced 7–0 Spain, but won 88–62 to claim the gold medal. Bolton was the team's leading scorer with 14 points per game, just ahead of Lisa Leslie's 13 points per game. In 1994, Bolton-Holifield was named to the national team which competed in the World Championships in Sydney, Australia. The team was coached by Tara VanDerveer. The team won their early games, then advanced to the medal rounds and faced Brazil. Despite 17 points from Bolton-Holifield and 29 from Katrina McClain, the USA fell 110–107 when Brazil hit ten of ten free throws in the final minute. The USA went on to defeat Australia 100–95 to claim the bronze medal. Bolton continued with the national team to the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. Bolton was the leading scorer in the game against the Ukraine, with 21 points. She helped the team win all eight games to win the gold medal for the USA team. Bolton averaged 12.8 points per game and led the team in steals with 23. The national team traveled to Berlin, Germany in July and August 1998 for the FIBA World Championships. The USA team won a close opening game against Japan 95–89, then won their next six games easily. In the semifinal game against Brazil, the USA team was behind as much as ten points in the first half. Bolton hit a three pointer in the second half to give her team the lead, as part of a 16-point scoring effort, and the USA went on to win 93–79. The gold medal game was a rematch against Russia. In the first game, the USA team dominated almost from the beginning, but in the rematch, the team from Russia took the early lead and led much of the way. With under two minutes remaining, the USA was down by two points when Bolton hit a three pointer to give the USA a lead. Russia tied the game, but Bolton hit another three to give the USA a lead they would not give up. The USA held on to win the gold medal 71–65. Bolton continued with the national team to the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. The USA won all eight games, including the gold medal game against host Australia to win the gold medal. Bolton averaged 5.0 points per game.

Today's guest is Jen Rizzotti. Jen is entering her third season as the head coach of the George Washington women's basketball team. Jen guided the Colonials back to the NCAA Tournament in her second season at the helm in 2017-18 after leading the program to the Atlantic 10 Championship.  Rizzotti was named the 10th head coach of GW women's basketball on April 15, 2016. Coach Rizzotti spent the previous 17 seasons as the head coach of the Hartford Hawks, where she built a conference powerhouse in taking the Hawks to all six NCAA appearances in program history, winning a pair of NCAA Tournament games, and distinguishing herself as the all-time winningest coach in America East history. Inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2013, Rizzotti is well-known in basketball circles around the world. After taking control of a Hartford program that went 8-19 in the year before she was hired and that had never won more than 15 games prior to her arrival, the Hawks enjoyed 11 seasons with more than 15 victories in her tenure and won at least 20 games seven times. Following the 2009-10 regular season, Rizzotti was named a finalist for the Kay Yow National Coach of the Year award after leading Hartford to a school-record 20-game winning streak, a perfect 16-0 record in conference play and the program's first-ever national ranking. Rizzotti is also deeply connected to international basketball through her involvement with the USA Women's Basketball national program. She served as head coach of 2010 FIBA Americas U18 gold medal winners as well as the 2011 U19 World Champions. In 2011 she was crowned as the USA Basketball National Coach of the Year. More recently Rizzotti served as an assistant for the 2014 FIBA World Championships and served in a support role for the USA Basketball Women's National Team's Gold Medal run at the 2016 Olympic Games. As a student-athlete at the University of Connecticut, Rizzotti first vaulted into the national spotlight as the starting point guard for the Huskies' first national championship team in 1995 with an undefeated 35-0 record. During the run to the national title, Rizzotti was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. A former All-American and the NCAA Regional Most Outstanding Player after her junior and senior seasons, in 1996 Rizzotti virtually swept the postseason awards as Big East Player of the Year, Big East Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the Associated Press Player of the Year, the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the Wade Trophy winner. Rizzotti graduated as UConn's career leader in assists (637) and steals (349) and still ranks second all-time in those categories. As a coach and formerly as a student-athlete, Rizzotti's focus on academics has always been exemplary. Under her guidance, Hartford was ranked among the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's Academic Top 25 teams on three occasions. Another accolade from her playing days was awarded in June 2016 when the two-time Academic All-American and 1996 Academic All-American of the Year was officially inducted into the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-America Hall of Fame. Rizzotti played eight seasons of professional basketball following her graduation from UConn in 1996. In addition to five seasons in the WNBA - two with the Houston Comets and three with the Cleveland Rockers - she competed for three seasons with the New England Blizzard in the American Basketball League. In the ABL she was a two-time All-Star. You can follow GW on Twitter @GW_WBB.
