Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

" Please colts fans don't sell your tickets. Two -- France last week the way too many chiefs fans in the stands up but it seldom seldom more colts fans were we need to replace all of that stadium totally packed in blue boat patriots just quit. --"

" New -- visa or Mastercard. Those -- we're in Ritz crackers we are -- I have days away from the Super Bowl in Indianapolis on our power from the Indianapolis star Bob Kravitz joins all the polite aborted Robert."

" How are you -- this every year don't yes we do some real quick about that ticket then yes -- throw his bitching about it about it like you know a lot of teams that. Then -- so well you know step as they have an official sponsor of Indianapolis Colts -- as well as many other teams you know so. Which is basically you know legal scalping operation ticket reselling is that that. So you don't want people resell their tickets then I don't know that you want outlook is what would you respond -- I'm just pointing out the other Padilla --"

" What what the context 'cause I know Brady -- man's gonna take some grief here in New England. He does sound a little whiny petty and whiny team yet."

" It was a it was something way after the game it was a button on TV it was after the press conferences and we know it such a deadline situation for us. You know -- cigarettes is that I missed it completely but I think was some TV anyway after."

" Hey -- seems to me that up Peyton Manning and the colts defense are suddenly living in a backwards world. Yeah have you figure this out."

" Absolutely not effect the -- PTI later on today and I another mr. Tony is perhaps he's the what with tap into the deep end and I'm going to have like -- to happen at the dead air but I can't tell you. I have no idea it it's like George foreman -- like a personality transmission like George foreman you know."

" I have a theory for -- blog and look and you can run with this if you'd like they've played two quarterbacks who stink. I have been able to focus on the run and bring Sanders -- because Trent green was awful and McNair was even worse."

" That is that is the dispute but that's part of the equation they're there's no. There's no question that sparked equation and and you know we know that new englanders -- bonus spread about you know even though I can't -- you know -- wide receivers for a New England these days they're going to spread about they're going to force some new defend -- over the past Rivera going to run -- in Dillon just the way they they should have continued running the ball -- you know during the regular season game at Foxboro so it's going to be a different animal altogether right I don't have a hard time -- that you could hold up with three games so I ya I think that they're going to win this gaping got a finally you know kind man up."

" About all the years you've covered this team and written about Peyton Manning in the Indianapolis Colts how many times have you written the following line. The colts won in spite of Peyton Manning's"

" twice -- cook -- last two weeks is quite you know I already -- on -- that are left India accused -- used 30 38 yeah group you know and and to a depicts you know worse you know just communication breakdown although it is hard to understand you know him and Marvin. Are there -- like the couple has been married 50 years at a unspoken communication all the sudden it stopped in the playoffs all of a sudden it's like they're two guys just been on the bus it's it's part it's hard to comprehend but you know they think happened the Payton in the playoffs I don't know what it is I don't know if he's just the guy who just can't raise the level of his gave but you know he's got a chance to pretty much you know. But 99 years of bad history in the that bumper there actually more than nine years -- call it -- you know the whole it would have been one thing."

" The other side of the point I don't know how I know this Bob. But I think I know that if he fails with everything going for him this Sunday then he'll never get get get over this at you -- to --"

" If I'd be like Mike Vanderjagt in the left field you know I don't know I had there's definitely -- medical go wrong there you know and well I thought that went when he give it canoeing and had a horrible game against radio are right the -- you're never gonna live this one down. You know and you know and here they are back in the AFC title game but yet let's face it although -- all the attention on him he's been a little. He complained a little bit about after the game you know -- like you know when when we win I get all the credit Irwin we we win the team wins when we lose they lost. Well -- stop doing all the commercials about making 90 million dollars you know comes with the territory -- great you know."

" liked to liked Tom Brady stop. Two and in a visa commercials and stud Dayton supermodels that's the that's the solution. Pretty she she does Zoeller nice as -- Giselle boost in because that's -- news yelling in the paper today with Victoria's secret model Giselle -- was waiting -- Iraq I don't think I could even say that. I wondered if Payton as he made you know it reconciled himself of his demons he's reached the point where it's like going to name the demons and and like by the christmas as -- real in this so omnipresent. Does he know -- or does he try to deny that he has these demons as he -- against."

" You know Lowell -- again more about the out he acknowledges that you know -- quite Marty schottenheimer you know it is what it is director at the post season record everything else but. It was funny our our our mutual friend -- was on the radio so last night basically saying the Payton played really really well. All playoff games and I you know he also said that about Pittsburgh game last year I think I think they could go out there and you know you know get sick on himself and and and though that you terrific you know yeah he'd been in all Payton Payton very smart guy if nothing else than he acknowledges you know his shortcomings but you'd just got to figure out a way to the -- passed ball -- played -- game -- but because. But basic you know obviously if he -- if they -- then pretty much all the whispers go away you know they lose then it becomes could and Aki that -- cop."

" Yes it recognized that -- nicely."

" About dungy he has his own demons to deal with in the post season as you -- 114 wins in the regular season no Super -- fourth on that list right time -- get the sense that. It -- that the problem gets bigger and more more ominous as as the years go by or -- cool with a comfortable with it and and face in this game like just another."

" I think cutting it's the latter I think he's more comparable weather then Ben Payton you know and the fact is that you know he did have you know one that you can -- to be championship game got really close you know they played well. I think Tony is far more at -- With which is you know whatever shortcomings -- what with what he hasn't done ban that -- Payton isn't to keep in mind the only person brought Tony coming into this as an incredible sense of perspective on the on real life. And you know to go through woody woody went through last year you know on the losing those playoff games are the worst thing happen to a back."

" True -- you think some part of dungy and some part of Manning watching football on Sunday might have been rooting for the -- auditors the chargers or even though it would mean going on the road and not hosting at the dome."

" You know that the total you know to get you here but. I would bet you that you have made -- little part of but he kept the game -- with -- be careful what you wish for -- everybody was assuming -- you know be great agents when -- got home. But yes sir I mean you know it's like it's like you know until a couple of years ago you know the the Red Sox want to face the Yankees I mean there is always the only blocked they were always there. And you know I think -- the -- pretty would be pretty they're pretty comfortable going on the road and winning tough environment so. You know but I mean -- eventually got to face -- you got to face your fears you know you gotta take the plunge and I think this is working out perfectly except for the writers to after right that's the main stories we written the last I don't know ten years."

" If Bobby in spite of better Jack's historically high percentage of field goals made does it feel different in any way you can measure it. -- Adam Vinatieri as a field goal kicker certainly late in playoff games."

" Well yeah I mean I think they've obviously have a lot more confidence in him because he's done it and you know might people talk about field goal last year but you know Mike. Has had a history you know I I always joke is that the only this -- like cap you know. And which he really appreciated by you know in the big field goal against Miami in a playoff couple years ago at the heat and it just kind of skittish weird personality of the players did like him at all."

" Have you have you tried to call him because you're here we are pretty creative columnist to come up with -- I'd like it. I could see doing a column talking to bandage that has been its series kick and to a 51 -- out of the house."

" Well actually we we -- planning meeting yesterday and that was one of my idea is the problem is that nobody is he heard from -- in quite some time but I I'm going to talk doctors not tomorrow at play at the at practice and he he's got a number for our boys and he's so. You know what are the chances -- pretty minimal especially with me -- be can be dealt to give up."

" This week's game at 630 that's well after cocktail hour of you know -- I might get him to be lit up by then we're gonna."

" I did have a load -- sidebar."

" You know Ladainian Tomlinson won the MVP and Drew Brees was second but. I think clearly the most valuable player in the NFL has to be Bob Sanders -- he comes back key in on the colts win when he comes back the calls Steve Francis suddenly there reinvigorated what what makes him so good."

" well you know I mean if he he's got like Roger Clemens that the NFL shows up for for let you know the music now he has just one of those guys regulate your earlier -- go to two of -- You know it in this schoolyard and you know yet that would work competent confident that the new big Vinny was behind it. You know yeah we got the multiple in his -- and and."

" And they -- that little ball behind them."

" Easy kind of embolden them he kind of make them feel like you've got their backers and they called me your race or that he raises the stakes. And yet he makes that much difference I think also -- know it's it's underrated but they put rob -- the all people back in the starting lineup but without outside factor for Gilbert partner he's made a huge difference. They've also wrong former New England guy they've got a lot a lot of good work we -- Klecko and also from from Daryl -- inside defensive tackle they've release eaten up some time you know they -- up up -- basically give Rahim Brock and and -- mcfarland a little -- I'm the brief so those guys have been -- but yes theaters -- been. You know incredible that he just changes the whole like you that before."

" Bob as best as you can tell whether any significant cold injuries against Baltimore that would impact Sunday's game I hear that a die had a shoulder problem was that's a delegate."

" I think yeah additional problem going into the idea okay yes the car so no and actually Tony was Stockton one their guests. And that there were no no significant issues issues on the team they came out of it unusually healthy."

" He mentioned -- Macfarlane in your last answer how much of a difference did he make -- if it did was delayed reaction was not because it. If it wasn't good when he first got there."

" Yeah I mean he played reasonably well during the regular season but these last few games he's been terrific that he's even a big pick up community they made and I do you give my my boy -- a lot of credit you know they. They really took the short end of it on the Corey Simon deal -- a lot of money on a guy. And then you know battle they went out basic you know. We Arabs who we have to have somebody over a 160000 a defensive line you know and you know they went and spent the second round draft choice -- which is not something that's our organization often does they felt like they they were close. And this is the one holding needed the felt. -- it took awhile you know he played reasonably well even win the defenses fall apart but now they're playing great he's been you know you've been a big part of the."

" A Bob -- to go do you agree that Sunday's colts pats game produces the Super Bowl winner."

" I really like the -- New Orleans is planned. I really do I heard actually spoke poli and -- the collective two best in the NFL we're playing -- you know -- 630 which. I'm sure the colts when will be replayed the Super Bowls but they can tell you you're smarter than that aren't -- But that our table I I really like New Orleans there's just stop and weird you know I've I'm not a Donald best that he bank but you know that's just such a cool story -- I wouldn't I wouldn't rule out nor -- that they get the Super Bowl Chicago white rule out there. I can't imagine -- know you know you know at least the way to make plans."

" and the at at at at a before let you go we should point out that guest of the Dennis and Callahan show like Bob Kravitz receive golfers warehouse gift cards. -- gift cards are great idea for any golfer golfer warehouse your game just got better to everything goes according to plan you can pay. This golfers -- stuff down to Florida with you Bob Miami that's comparable for a couple weeks it'd be Atlantic sounds good Bob Kravitz from the Indianapolis star ice time -- time and yet Bob Kravitz rhythms and Kelly"
