Colts Preview + “Hoosiers” and “Rudy” Rewind | Dominic Miranda, WTHR and Angelo Pizzo, Screenwriter Today’s variety show is broken into three segments covering Colts and IHSAA football, average home prices across Indiana, and an exclusive interview with the screenwriter of “Hoosiers” and “Rudy.” First, I sat down with WTHR sports anchor Dominic Miranda, who was a regular at the Indianapolis Colts’ training camp and also follows Indiana high school football closely with Operation Football airing every fall Friday morning. We discuss the Colts’ upcoming season, their training camp experiences, roster changes, game strategies, and make predictions for the 2025 season. We also dive into the young IHSAA football season, covering standout teams and top players across different classes. My next guests were Max Moore and Tyler Lingle with Roots Realty. We played a fun game where I selected random cities across Indiana, and they had to guess and rank where those places fell based on average home price. My last guest was screenwriter/producer/director Angelo Pizzo, who was notably the mind behind the iconic sports films “Hoosiers” and “Rudy.” He shares unique behind-the-scenes stories, the journey of getting each of those films made, and exciting updates on the director’s cut of Hoosiers.
