Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo will return for the 2020 season. That was the headline of general manager Chris Ballard’s media availability today at the NFL Scouting Combine, and it’s a big headline. To not have to worry about drafting a left tackle or signing one in free agency checks a massive box for a […]
Colts owner Jim Irsay spent some time with Indianapolis media yesterday, and he said interesting things, as he always does. We never know what Irsay is going to say to the media because he doesn’t know either – at least I don’t think he knows. On their best days, billionaires are a little quirky. Irsay sometimes […]
Who can and can’t watch Cubs baseball? No one knows. Fans thought that signing up for DirecTV or Hulu+ would allow then to catch Saturday’s spring training opener. For a variety of reasons, that didn’t happen for any of the Hulu+ subscribers and some of the DirecTV folks. Marquee still has no deal with YouTube TV, […]
The Indiana Basketball roller coaster is fun again. Up and down it has rolled through solid wins against Florida State and Penn State and miserable losses to Purdue and Maryland (2X). Devonte Green has been a one-man thrill ride with made threes and ill-conceived lob passes with equal enthusiasm. Coach Archie Miller was intractable in defending screen […]
Indiana Basketball fans are exhausted by the seemingly endless malaise surrounding the program. Day after day, week after week, month after month and year after year, the same questions are asked. Is IU about to make the turn toward consistent quality basketball? Is (insert coach’s name here) the right guy to get the program back […]
When a company hosts a brain storm, most ideas are dismissed immediately, a few are earmarked for further discussion, and some are approved as “just do.” The NCAA needs approve immediate eligibility for first-time transfers as a “just-do.” Instead, this change in legislation will continue down the path of entrenched bureaucracy the NCAA has created to slow […]
Indiana Basketball fans are probably as tired of being painted as dopes as they are of the way their favorite team fails to compete. Twitter can be an echo chamber of idiocy, reducing people and groups to their lowest common denominator. Stereotypes are embraced and proffered as absolute truths. This has happened to IU alums […]
When NBA commissioner Adam Silver was presented with his first crisis in 2014, he understood the importance of the moment. He embraced his role as protector of the game. When a recording of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling revealing himself to be a racist was aired, Silver convened an astute group of advisors to decide the […]
“What’s the worst that can happen?” is a question kids ask themselves all the time as they assess the risk and reward scenarios for behavior. If I make everyone in class laugh, I might get a detention. Is that worth it? Within the Indiana Basketball program, it appears the harshest discipline Archie Miller is willing to wield is […]
Indianapolis Colts need a defensive tackle – and may take one from South Carolina at #13
No one knows who the Indianapolis Colts are going to take with the 13th overall pick in the NFL Draft. Until teams target and sign free agents, we won’t even know what their needs will be on April 23rd. Nobody even knows whether the Colts will actually draft 13th. They could move back and get […]
