Kevin Wilson has done the impossible by earning a contract extension at Indiana. After 20 years of shuttling one coach after another through Bloomington, it seems Indiana has settled on its long-term solution. Worth $2,550,000 per season, the extension sets Wilson up through 2021 as the architect of a program that has slowly progressed over […]
Yesterday afternoon we heard Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens would miss his team’s game last night to tend to a personal matter in Indianapolis. We know now that he came home to visit Andrew Smith, one of his former players who is battling cancer. Stevens would prefer no one knows why he is in Indianapolis, […]
Friends of mine in media were fired yesterday, and while I’m certain each will be fine once the dust settles in their emotional minds, it occurred to me that people on the precipice of career ruin at the hands of media managers incapable and unwilling to accurately appraise value need to be a little bit […]
The Colts celebrated a return to reason Monday night as owner Jim Irsay, general manager Ryan Grigson, and coach Chuck Pagano showed a united front in announcing contract extensions for Grigson and Pagano.

The Colts, Pacers, Hoosiers, Boilermakers, Bulldogs, Fuel, Cardinals, Jaguars, and all the great high school basketball teams in the area thrill and […]
Purdue won it’s Big 10 opener last night in Madison, Wisconsin 61-55. Fans are hopeful this might be the year that the Boilermakers finally fulfill their dreams of returning to the Final Four, and they have reason to be excited. In fact, they have 10 reasons to be excited: 10 – They are due. It’s […]
After the Colts win against the Dolphins, a couple of fans posted tweets that mocked the Colts propensity for celebrating what they deemed meaningless wins and accomplishments. Punter Pat McAfee took exception and let the two know through a few tweets of his own that featured a word many (not me) consider profane that he […]
Here is what needs to happen for the Colts to qualify for the NFL Playoffs: Colts Win + HOU loss + CIN loses last 2 games + DEN wins last 2 games + NYJ loss + NO loss + KC loss + MIA win + PIT win. Holy crap! That’s a lot that needs to […]
