Jacoby Brissett agreed to a two-year, $30-million extension on the same day back-up quarterback Brian Hoyer signing a three-year deal with $12-million. That’s a lot of heavy lifting by Colts GM Chris Ballard on Labor Day, and all of it is smart. The Colts needed a back-up not named Phillip Walker, and with Chad Kelly suspended until […]
We may not know who the starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts will be in 2020 and beyond, but Brian Hoyer is going to be the back-up. Hoyer has signed a three-year, $12-million deal with $9-million guaranteed to join the Colts. The Colts will be Hoyer’s seventh NFL team, and he’s been serviceable throughout his […]
This doesn’t happen very often. The Indianapolis Colts cut exactly the players I assumed would go. My being correct is not much of a consolation for those who were lanced from the roster. In the battles at tight end and running back, Hale Hentges and Jordan Wilkins stayed with the team. Ross Travis and Aca’Cedrick […]

So when I heard athletic director Fred Glass identify the next big investment in Indiana Football as being […]
Former IUPUI men’s basketball coach Jason Gardner’s night was way too long, and his coaching career way too short. Gardner has resigned as the men’s basketball coach at IUPUI. That is not a good thing for IUPUI or Jason, but it is appropriate. According to a police report, Gardner fell asleep behind the wheel of his […]
Hoosiers do not like being lied to. We trust easily, but once that trust is broken, good luck winning it back. The Colts have not been forthcoming with answers about Andrew Luck’s health for as long as there have been questions about it.

Four days after Colts quarterback Andrew Luck retired, people are already discussing the possibility of his return to the Colts. No one can blame fans for indulging in that kind of hope. Jacoby Brissett might be a solid starter in the NFL, but he is lacking the extraordinary physical tools that made Luck the top pick […]
Archie Miller doesn’t do a lot of press. Some coaches are very receptive to the idea of chatting with media people about life and basketball. Archie is not among them, and that’s just fine.
