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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
This is going to be a very interesting season for the Indianapolis Colts. Rebound or continue decline are the two possibilities for the Horseshoes, and it seems the odds of either are right at 50-50. Many in national media predict the Colts will finish 6-10 or 5-11. Locally, most are more optimistic. We tend to […]
A lot has to go right for any team to win the Super Bowl, but for a 20-1 longshot like the Indianapolis Colts with some pieces of the puzzle withering and others yet to blossom, it will require great health, luck, and leadership. The Colts went a very pedestrian 8-8 last year despite splashy free agent […]
Welcome to Colts season. Training camp begins in two weeks at Anderson University and the Pacers free agent frenzy has run it’s course, so this is the time Indianapolis nimbly shifts gears into talking about the pivotal 2016 season that lies ahead. It doesn’t take long to pivot to the NFL once the NBA Finals end […]
One of my favorite axioms is that all people are idiots. Sad, but true. None of us knows enough about life to understand what the hell we are doing here. Some people achieve financial wealth, some experience a spiritual awakening, and others know that being nice to everyone they meet provides more happiness than any […]
Indianapolis Colts general manager told us last night that Alabama center Ryan Kelly was the best player on their board, the player they targeted all along, and just happens to address their biggest need. Okay. I’ll buy it because I like the pick – a lot. Andrew Luck woke up safer this morning than he […]
