(00:00 - 13:11) - Tuesday's WUC opens to sad news as Anthony Richardson is done for the season as surgery seems to be the way the team will be going. It still isn't a 100% certainty but Jim Irsay said in interviews yesterday that Richardson will likely be out for the season. The news coming out of the Colts Camp seems to be a bummer for the past week. Some clips from head coach Shane Steichen about Richardson needing surgery. Rick Carlisle will be on the show top of the 8 o'clock hour.

(13:12 - 20:24) - Morning Checkdown

(20:25 - 40:32) - More discussion on Anthony Richardson's injury news. The probability of surgery or of rehabbing the shoulder. Kevin says that biggest thing he wants from this whole situation is clarity on the future. A bit of talk about the potential of where college basketball prospect Boogie Fland will be playing. Should the Colts already be thinking about drafting another quarterback? Kevin brings up the statistic that 1 out of every 6 times Richardson threw the ball, he got hurt. He also had a variety of different kinds of injuries.

(40:33 - 1:11:44) - Pacers head-coach Rick Carlisle joins the show. Coach Carlisle actually had the chance to meet Colts head-coach Shane Steichen before the football season began. Moving to Pacers talk, Carlisle has really enjoyed the vibe of the team this season. Bennedict Mathurin is continuing to make strides as a potential future star. The team needs to work on fouling. Coach goes into detail about all the news draft picks and new signees, how they have performed up to expectations. The team has been picking up their 3-point shooting this pre-season. They are shooting 48 a game compared to the mid 30's last season. 

(1:11:45 - 1:21:50) - Is Shane Steichen going to change up the gameplan for the Colts next game? Less passing and more running. Steichen is always first to blame the coaching rather than the players. How much does that actually help the team though? 

(1:21:51 - 1:31:33) - More discussion over Stephen Holder's interview with Jim Irsay from last night. Irsay revealed that things are most likely leaning toward Richardson getting surgery but talks are ongoing. Talk turns to what are the other pieces that Indianapolis needs to address to turn this team into a championship contender. Several other players like Pittman are in a contract year, what can the Colts do if they want to keep him. 

(1:31:34 - 2:00:14) - Nate Atkins of the Indianapolis Star joins The Wake Up Call to discuss his story covering Michael Pittman Jr. and his reaction to Jonathan Taylor's new contract. Pittman thinks that every player has the ability to take a page out of Taylor's book when it comes to future contract negotiations. Given the Colts current injury concerns are they at risk of over spending on other position players in the short term. Atkins talks about how Richardson hasn't had time to fully develop a passing game. The Colts need to balance not bringing him back too soon, with teaching him how to stay healthy on the field. Which is a big ask for a 21-year-old rookie.
