Who’s to blame for the Andrew Luck mess – let’s rundown the top 5 candidates
November 3, 2017

The return of Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has been a shiny tchotchke dangled in front of fans’ noses since the opening of training camp. It was shattered yesterday as the Colts finally placed Luck on injured reserve, which ends his season. Colts fans are rightfully miffed that their team is missing the roster’s only difference maker. That […]

What Colts owner Jim Irsay should have said yesterday in announcing the firing of Ryan Grigson
January 22, 2017

“Thanks for coming out at a weird time. I know you were in bars, malls, watching Indiana beat Michigan State, and spending time with your family, but my life doesn’t operate like that, so here we are on a Saturday at 5:45 in the afternoon Five years ago, I screwed up. I had become so […]

Jon Gruden to remain at ESPN – Colts will look for another answer or ask for fans’ patience
January 14, 2017

The beautiful dream that Jon Gruden might swap his ESPN headphone with one worn by the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts died today. Gruden knows he is a better broadcaster than a coach, and so he’s decided to stay in the booth rather than continue to engage in negotiations that likely would have yielded a […]

October 17, 2016

It had to happen eventually – the Colts have become the type of team they used to mock. For a generation, the Indianapolis Colts were the team that made others pay late. Extraordinary comebacks were routine. The rest of the AFC South gritted their teeth as Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck snatched victory from the jaws […]

Colts beat Bears 29-23, but all is not well at Lucas Oil Stadium
October 9, 2016

This was one bad team beating another bad team. That isn’t all bad. It beats losing to a bad team! For a week at least, the constant din from fans and media waiting for Colts owner Jim Irsay to finally pull the plug on the entire football operation and admit his January surprise to extend the contracts […]

Colts come out swinging as Week Five starts – Sio Moore and Antonio Cromartie axed
October 4, 2016

The same ax used to chop wood for the Colts was wielded today to separate the Colts leader in tackles and co-leader in passes defended from the roster. When a team is 1-3 and leadership is questioned, job security is wobbly at best, and so Colts inside linebacker Sio Moore and cornerback Antonio Cromartie are unemployed tonight. […]

Top nine reasons the Indianapolis Colts won yesterday
September 26, 2016

The Colts the Chargers 26-22 yesterday, which keeps hope for a successful season alive – for now. For the entire 60 minutes, the result of the game was in doubt, but the Colts were able to make enough plays late to claim their first win of the season. Because every other team in the AFC […]
