Query & Schultz Podcast

After getting thoroughly destroyed in the season opener by the Ravens, what are the major red flags the Colts need to address moving forward? We discuss that and whether or not Indy's debut changes our outlook for the season. Also, a Big Ten shakeup in college football and Jake gets in a fight on the internet.
