by Kent Sterling So the day that Colts fans dreaded most is nigh. I never thought I would see it. Peyton Manning is going to be waived tomorrow at a joint press conference that will do its best to portray the split as a mutual decision that is best for both parties. It might be [...]
by Bert Beiswanger Are Indianapolis Colts fans having trouble coming to grips with the fact that greatness doesn’t last forever? Listening to local sports talk radio Tuesday night, you would have thought that Jim Irsay, one of the most respected owners in the NFL, has lost his mind. By the end of the evening, I [...]
by Kent Sterling So much for the seamless transition in the front office of the building Bill Polian once ruled with an iron fist. Both Bill and Chris Polian were told to vacate the premises on 56th Street today in the aftermath of a horrifying 2-14 season. Really smart guys evidently become really fireable really [...]
by Kyle Miller Is it bad to consider the weekend not over until after Monday Night Football? Since my weekend is dominated by my addiction to fantasy football, I see nothing wrong with a three day weekend, every weekend. What a great time of the year.

The Packers and the Patriots appear to be juggernauts offensively with suspect defense and the Lions no longer appear to be the love-able losers (assuming Stafford [...]
by Kent Sterling So this is how it ends. The streak of 208 consecutive games, and all but one play that was lost due to a broken jaw, comes to an end tomorrow in Houston. The most valuable player in the history of the NFL will spend his first fall Sunday watching since the earth [...]
by Kyle Miller For 208 straight games the Indianapolis danced to the beat of Peyton Manning’s tune, but Sunday they will need to find their own rhythm. The Colts have said all the right things. “Next man up” is the saying the Colts have built their program around, but never has it been applied to 18. He’s [...]
