The Cubs won Tuesday night in a thrilling comeback that validated the passion and faith of its players and its fans. Down 5-2 heading into the ninth inning with a win-or-go-home game five looming on the immediate horizon, the only reason for continued hope sat in the San Francisco Giants bullpen as the worst group of relievers in […]
Oooof. Tough first two weeks for the Colts. The loss against the Lions was self-inflicted due to questionable clock management and a strange decision to gift wrap a free pass to the 25-yard line while trying to nurse a one-point lead with :35 left. Against the Broncos, it was the 15 points generated by malfeasance […]
Hard to blame Indiana University football coach Kevin Wilson for imploring fans to stick around for four quarters during games at Memorial Stadium. If I could see half of the listeners flip their radios off at 4:30p, I would be disappointed too. Wilson asked fans to stick around this Saturday as the Hoosiers face […]
The 2016 Indianapolis Colts season appears to be little more than an extension to the disappointing 2015 season – one that began with Super Bowl dreams and ended with broken bones, torn ligaments, and a front office and coaching staff staring into the abyss. General manager Ryan Grigson and head coach were saved from the […]
As ridiculous as it is to write on September 13th – less than 48 hours after game one of 16 – the clock is ticking loudly on the 2016 Indianapolis Colts season. If Matt Prater’s game-winning 41-yard field goal had sailed left as it looked like it might, we would be having a different conversation, […]
That was bad. Yesterday’s Colts game was disappointing. Losing to the Detroit Lions 39-35 in a home opener isn’t a disgrace, but it’s certainly not a result that excites a fanbase still mired in a hangover after a miserable 8-8 2015 season. There was some good, but it wasn’t enough to beat a team expected […]
Southport High School’s Paul Scruggs is headed west – way west. The very talented guard who is being recruited by Indiana, Xavier, UConn, and others has decided to play basketball at a basketball academy/prep school in Napa, California for his senior year. This has basketball fans in a dither as they try to fathom why a […]
August 30th is way too early to be relentlessly cynical about the 2016 Indianapolis Colts. An NFL season is broken into quarters, and even a bad first quarter is too early to cast an entire season into the scrap heap. There is no doubt these Colts are a bit different from most of those Colts […]
Thank God this one doesn’t count. The Colts are in tatters. Injuries everywhere, and many of the healthy starters won’t play because they are borderline antiques who require protection like the sofa you were forbidden to sit on “because it’s only for special occasions”. Who wins preseason game #3 between the Colts and Philadelphia Eagles is irrelevant, […]
Yesterday, Butler University hosted a celebration for the life and legacy of former basketball player Joel Cornette. It was attended by a couple thousand of his closest friends. There were 13 speakers, and all told different versions of the same story. Passionate teammate whose level of belief in friends led to their rising to meet challenges on […]
