by Bert Beiswanger It won’t go away: If you were starting a team right now, would you take Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck? It’s not Colts versus Broncos, it’s Luck versus Manning. Over and over, the media bangs this over our heads. Word of advice: Stop for a moment today and just appreciate greatness. Yes, […]
by Bert Beiswanger Let’s not sugar coat this, folks: The Colts beat an average football team Sunday. They don’t need to apologize for that – a win in the NFL Playoffs is a great win. But the fact is the Bengals came into the game without # 2 wide receiver Marvin Jones (out all year), […]
by Kent Sterling There comes a point in every NFL season when teams and players are faced with reality. They either show themselves to be poor, solid, or outstanding. That point came yesterday for the Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts, and Peyton Manning. Every season is like a mosaic with tiles being added each week. Some […]
by Kent Sterling As people get older, they hear nature’s clock ticking more and more loudly.

by Bert Beiswanger So, five games into the season and discussions have already started with friends of mine about how good the Colts are coming off the solid win against Seattle last Sunday. With so many blue faithful giddy after the win, it’s a fair discussion. As can be the case with these types of […]
by Bert Beiswanger Cheesy headlines aside, the Indianapolis Colts left a lot of questions unanswered in Sunday’s season opening comeback win against the Oakland Raiders. We still don’t know for sure what the offense is going to look like under the play calling of Pep Hamilton. We still don’t know if the offensive line will […]
by Kent Sterling The NFL would like people to believe its players are choirboys on Monday through Saturday, but become beast on Sundays when they are paid to maul the men playing across from them in a different colored shirt. They wear helmets, pads, and tape their joints because they would be hospitalized without them. […]
