How JJ Stankevitz Went From Notre Dame and Chicago Bears Beat to Indianapolis Colts PA Announcer 08/07/2026

How JJ Stankevitz Went From Notre Dame and Chicago Bears Beat to Indianapolis Colts PA Announcer On today’s episode of Get IN. Sports, Dom Miranda sits down with JJ Stankevitz, Colts senior manager of editorial and audio and Lucas Oil Stadium public address announcer, to talk about his path in sports media and life in Indiana. Stankevitz grew up in Oak Park, Illinois, and realized in sixth grade while playing with future NBA No. 2 pick Evan Turner that writing, not athletics, was his lane. He then pursued journalism at the University of Missouri, interned at Comcast SportsNet Chicago, and pitched Notre Dame coverage that became a career launch amid major storylines. After later covering the Bears and surviving layoffs, he was laid off in 2021 and soon joined the Colts as team writer, explaining differences between team and external media coverage. He describes how he became the Colts’ PA announcer, his game-day routine, admiration for Jim Irsay and his daughters, why he loves Indiana, and shares optimism about the Colts centered on quarterback Daniel Jones and head coach Shane Steichen.

The Reporter Who Covered Alex Rodriguez, Shaq, Kobe, Miami & the Colts | Stephen Holder, ESPN 07/31/2026

The Reporter Who Covered Alex Rodriguez, Shaq, Kobe, Miami & the Colts | Stephen Holder, ESPN On today’s episode of Get IN. Sports, Dom Miranda sits down with Stephen Holder, an NFL Nation reporter who covers the Colts for ESPN. Holder talks about his path from growing up in Miami as a Dolphins and Hurricanes fan to covering sports professionally. He describes discovering journalism through high school classes and a University of Miami workshop where his first sports story was on Alex Rodriguez, then working at the Miami Herald, covering Miami’s high school football and the early-2000s Hurricanes. He later moved to the St. Petersburg Times to cover the Buccaneers and recounts memorable NBA/Heat years, including Shaq’s personality and the Shaq-Kobe feud. Holder explains lessons on separating fandom from objectivity, building credibility, and why loving sports isn’t enough for journalism. He then details moving to Indianapolis to cover the Colts, joining The Athletic early, and eventually taking an ESPN role after turning down an earlier Dolphins offer, and discusses the Colts’ constant drama, key roster questions, Jim Irsay’s unique ownership style, and why Indiana sports fandom feels especially invested and unifying.

Indy 500 Legends w/ Dave Calabro, Pacers Lottery Disaster, Fever’s First Test 05/21/2026

Indy 500 Legends w/ Dave Calabro, Pacers Lottery Disaster, Fever’s First Test This week's episode digs into the biggest Indiana sports stories that Hoosiers are actually talking about, with a sit-down featuring longtime WTHR sports director and Indianapolis Motor Speedway PA voice Dave Calabro. We start with Dom's candid response to the NBA Draft Lottery, where the Pacers' pick landed in the worst spot it could have. After hopes of cracking the top four, the selection now heads to the Clippers as part of the Ivica Zubac trade. The crew talks through Myles Turner leaving, Kevin Pritchard's apology, and whether Zubac is actually worth giving up that kind of asset. From there, we break down the Indiana Fever's 107–104 loss to the Dallas Wings. Caitlin Clark put up 20, Aliyah Boston added 23, and Kelsey Mitchell led the way with 30. Shooting was the difference. Then Calabro takes the mic. He walks through how he got into broadcasting, what he learned under the late Tom Carnegie, and some of his favorite stories from the Speedway. He also explains why the Indy 500 belongs on every Hoosier's bucket list, and why it hits different than any other event in sports. The episode wraps with an Indy 500 trivia segment and a few facts worth knowing before Race Day, including Josef Newgarden's back-to-back bonus on the line. 01:29 Pacers Lottery Heartbreak 04:50 Zubac Trade Fallout 06:47 Producer Reacts Live 12:04 Fever Season Debut 15:31 In Or Out Takes 17:00 Meet Dave Calabro 18:16 Indy 500 Origins 25:40 Tom Carnegie Mentorship 28:02 Broadcasting Then And Now 30:28 Carnegie Tribute Debate 31:26 Babe Ruth Baseball Story 32:32 Butterflies On The Mic 34:46 Favorite Indy 500 Memories 38:35 Predicting This Years Winner 41:03 Helio Drive For Five 43:13 Why The Indy 500 Matters 44:44 Nate Joins The Pod 45:48 Four Time Winners Quiz 47:31 Back To Back Bonus Explained 50:07 Biggest Comeback Ever 51:18 Indy 500 Fast Facts 52:37 Final Wrap Up /episode/index/show/fa3ea063-b3b1-4dcc-abd3-beba671bb15c/id/41370370
