Two days into training camp – here are nine irrefutable observations about the Indianapolis Colts
August 18, 2020
August 18, 2020
The Colts were back to work this morning trying to elevate the level of play that led to a disappointing 7-9 record last year. High priced free agent Philip Rivers, DeForest Buckner, the guy for whom they traded the 13th overall pick, and Chris Ballard’s fourth draft class will help them make strides from without. […]
Will college football and the NFL play? If they play, it will be because of player discipline and money

What will college and professional football players be willing to sacrifice in order to play this fall? That’s the question that will determine whether their seasons are lost or found. College players are going to have to do the impossible – stay sequestered away from the general population of their universities for four months. It […]
How can anyone ask whether Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes cheated himself signing a 10 yr/$503M extension?

“Did Patrick Mahomes leave money on the table in signing this contract?” asked Mike Greenberg this morning on ESPN’s Get Up. The contract Mahomes signed is a 10-year extension worth a minimum of $140,000,000 and a maximum of just over half a billion dollars to play quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Greenberg has […]
NFL imposes silly and ineffective penalty against the cheating Patriots

June 29, 2020
Clearly, the New England Patriots have not learned their lesson. Another scandal has led to another penalty that validates the risks they routinely take to gain an unfair advantage. This time the Patriots sent a video crew to Cleveland last December 8th to record the sidelines work of the Bengals a week ahead of their game in Cincinnati. […]
Colts LB Darius Leonard shares his account of how he was wronged; deserves to be respected for doing it

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard is one of my favorite people in the locker room. Several times each week during the season the media is invited to talk to players at their lockers, and Leonard’s locker is usually crowded because he is insightful, honest, and popular with fans. He’s also very patient, consenting to interview […]
Colin Kaepernick is a top activist, but facts and stats show he is a mediocre quarterback

Former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been out of work since 2016 in large part due to his taking a knee during the National Anthem prior to games. But it’s not the only reason. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said last night that he supports Kaepernick’s return to the NFL. As it is likely a majority […]
Colts QB Philip Rivers can’t turn back the clock, but has to find a way to slow it down

Colts quarterback Philip Rivers needs to find a way to stop the clock, but God doesn’t allow us three timeouts and a two-minute warning. He’ll turn 39 in December, and last year played like it. Tom Brady and Drew Brees are outliers in their ability to perform well past the age of decline, and Rivers […]
While NBA, NFL, and MLS prepare to ball, Major League Baseball continues to bicker

Baseball is wearing me out through its apparent indifference to fans, but I likely won’t feel a lot better about it when they finally start playing. The MLB Players Association made a counter offer yesterday to the owners counter offer, and so it will go until finally commissioner Rob Manfred orders players back for a 48 […]
