The first part of Colts general manager Chris Ballard’s process was easy. Take a roster that was a wreck and methodically acquire upgrades each year through the draft. Andrew Luck‘s sudden retirement was a blow to the Colts immediate chances to win, but provided Ballard a little more cover and time. Fans retired their expectations […]
The debate over Philip Rivers as a potential starting quarterback got a little bit weird on my YouTube channel. On today’s Breakfast with Kent, I said he can’t win a Super Bowl because he cannot run or throw deep, and hasn’t been to a Super Bowl in a 17-year career. Commenters reply that I must dislike Rivers. […]
Moral victories suck. Indiana taking Wisconsin to two overtimes before succumbing to fatigue against a bunch of perpetual students in their mid-20s should be enough to sustain us as we continue to search for reasons to hope the Hoosiers are on the road to something more fruitful than battling for seventh in the Big 10. Armaan Franklin […]
Sane people who know anything about football are picking the Bills to beat the Colts Saturday. Even die hard Colts fans understand the talent gap between the two teams. Being right about the Colts inability to compete with the Bills Saturday afternoon will give me no joy. If I’m wrong and somehow the Colts can […]
Regardless of the need to play the NCAA Tournament in a bubblicious atmosphere due to COVID concerns, bringing the entire event to Indiana is a great move. Scattered site hosting of sub-regionals, regionals, and the Final Four has always bee weird. Indiana goes to Boise while Michigan State travels to Spokane and Gonzaga flies to Buffalo has always […]
Indiana won 63-55 over Maryland last night, We don’t argue with winning around here, so we won’t grouse about the negatives. If we did, there would be more than a few scabs to pick at with these non-shooting Hoosiers who tallied a measly 21 points in the first half. We could talk about Indiana’s bizarre ineptitude at […]
While I enjoy taking shots at the Cubs fan cash grab that the Marquee Network is, it’s hard to argue with former ESPN voice Jon “Boog” Sciambi as the replacement for Len Kasper as TV voice of the Cubs. Sciambi brings a big personality, broadcasting acumen, a baseball knowledge to the booth in a way […]
10 – Strength of the Bills is in their skill positions. Josh Allen is an elite level quarterback by all statistical measures – from Pro Football Focus (#5) to QBR (#3) to Passer rating (#4). Philip Rivers is middle of the pack among NFL starters – from PFF (#17) to QBR (#19) to Passer rating (#13). […]
So the Colts made the playoffs after all on as crazy an afternoon and early evening as we’ve seen in Indianapolis football in many years. The Colts 28-14 win over the woeful Jaguars was unremarkable in all respects but for the singularly extraordinary running of Jonathan Taylor, who rolled to a franchise record 253 yards […]
When it comes to Indiana Basketball, there is a problem that is impossible to overlook any longer. It’s not Archie Miller, the coach of this group that nearly lost to a very mediocre Penn State team in overtime Wednesday. It’s not Rob Phinisee, Al Durham, or Trayce Jackson-Davis – players who are certainly not trying […]
