by Kent Sterling Roughly 25% of NFL and NBA coaches are fired at the end of a typical season, but that almost never happens in Indianapolis because franchises here are well run by consistent, prudent, and mostly trusting owners. The Indianapolis Colts have enjoyed a rarely achieved level of consistent quality and results while the […]
by Kent Sterling So much to write about the Indianapolis Colts, so little time. The Colts confirmed what they are – again – in a humiliating loss in Dallas. They are incapable of losing to the worst, but equally unlikely to beat the best. Click here to follow Kent on Twitter Colts general manager Ryan […]
by Kent Sterling The Indianapolis Colts are turning the ball over at a strangely high rate, have enjoyed limited success in any discipline of the game other than throwing the football, and continue to win and win and win and win. Their major league basketball brethren appear no more lacking in talent, but have now […]
by Kent Sterling Everyone loves lists, especially me, and to tell you the truth are often the more overrated or underrated elements on their teams. Despite not having a major league team until 1976 when the Indiana Pacers migrated from the ABA to the NBA, Indiana has had their fair share of great coaches. Click […]
by Kent Sterling Nothing would give me more pleasure than to yelp and holler about how Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Da’Rick Rogers should be afforded the same latitude to seek treatment that was provided Colts owner Jim Irsay after his operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated arrest, but it would be ridiculous.

There is no statistic in football more telling than turnover differential, and the New England Patriots won the turnover battle 3-0 over the Colts, including a pick six that helped Bill Belichick’s evil horde jump out to a 14-0 lead midway through the first quarter. So now the Patriots will either […]
by Kent Sterling The Patriots are the most enigmatic successful team in the NFL led by the most baffling of coaches. Finishing with a 12-4 regular season record, it’s not possible to figure out what path they use to win. The Colts might be the second most vexing team in the league. One Pro Bowl […]
by Kent Sterling Since winning the Super Bowl to end the 2004 NFL season, the New England Patriots are a very pedestrian 8-7 in the postseason. Peyton Manning gets killed for his lack of postseason success, but during the same period, his postseason record is 6-6. Yet Coach Hoodie is seen as some reincarnation of […]
by Kent Sterling Because I’m battling the flu while my wife and son are at a wedding reception, I sat in my house alone watching the Colts vs. Chiefs. I’ve never enjoyed a Colts game more. The Indianapolis Colts trailed the snakebite Kansas City Chiefs 38-10, and statistically were dead in the water. But, as Colts […]
by Kent Sterling Last week, everyone with a brain looked at the Indianapolis Colts three game lead over the Tennessee Titans and a favorable remaining schedule, and declared the race for the AFC South Division crown over. This week, it’s not even close to over. Click here to follow Kent on Twitter The Colts looked […]
