Colts fans are in a tough spot – one of their favorite players is getting some bad advice, and the owner just can’t stop making it worse by talking and tweeting. Running back Jonathan Taylor wants out of Indianapolis because the franchise tag calculus in the NFL’s Collective Bargaining Agreement artificially depresses running back pay. Colts owner Jim […]
UCLA’s days of operating at an athletic deficit are coming to an end as the Pac-12 is ready to approve the Bruins’ move to the Big 10. The jump to the Big 10 will happen in 2024, which paired with the move of fellow Los Angeles based USC, will make more money for the university […]
New Colts coach Jeff Saturday spoke to the media yesterday. He speaks from the heart – simply but intelligently. His ability to communicate with the staff and roster will be critical to their buy-in and desire to compete amid a chaotic period in Colts history. Here are some passages from his comments.

Colts general manager Chris Ballard is a hunted man, and his behavior during the Jim Irsay led media availability to introduce Jeff Saturday as the interim coach showed that.

The 24-0 shellacking at the hands of a bad team got fans angry as they pondered the likelihood of another disappointing season. Then coach Frank Reich put the […]
Victor Oladipo wants your attention. Indiana Pacers fans moved on from their sadness over the devolution of Victor Oladipo long ago. The marriage between Oladipo and Pacers fans was dissolved due to irreconcilable differences when the Pacers traded him to the Houston Rockets on January 13, 2021. The relationship broke long before that, but fans always hoped the version of […]
Matt Ryan threw a pick early, but on a nick play by rookie safety Nick Cross, so it wasn’t a moment to hang his head. That’s how training camp works. The offense makes a great play, so the defensive looks bad – or vice versa. As the Colts measure themselves against each other, guessing what […]
