The Ride with JMV

Mainly sports, mixed in with pop culture. As likely to remember the participants from the 1987 Final Four and the top 10 songs on the charts that same week in 1987. No one is more connected when it comes to the Indianapolis Colts. And no one is in love more with Southern Indiana as JMV.

00:00– 19:55-  Dallas Mavericks head coach, and most importantly, Greene County born and raised Dusty May joins the show. He begins by breaking down what went into his decision to leave for the NBA and how the discussion started. What is the transition like, how excited he is to coach Cooper Flagg, and how he might mesh with Kyrie Irving this year. 

19:55 - 38:38 –   JMV was trying to scarf down a protein bar during the break before Mike Chappell from CBS4 and Fox59 joins the show. He gives his take on a must-win situation coming up Sunday inside Lucas Oil Stadium. He also poses a question to Chap on Alec Pierce’s surgery timing decision. They go longform on it and John explains why he blames Pierce and his representation for not getting surgery immediately in January. Then, Chap is encouraged that Charvarius Ward practiced and does he think someone gets “clipped” if they lose the next two games.
