Colts rookie primer – if Colts rookie class plays like they talk, get ready to hang banners
May 3, 2019

I don’t know whether verbal acuity can win a Super Bowl, but if it does, the Indianapolis Colts will be prohibitive favorites in 2019. The first four picks of the Colts met the media today, and each was outstanding in expressing their feelings about joining the Colts and the challenges ahead of them. As quick as wide […]

Colts need to thin the Ring of Honor herd – I start with Jim Harbaugh
May 3, 2019

Owner Jim Irsay announced last night that Dwight Freeney would be the next former Colt honored with membership in the team’s Ring of Honor. No doubt Freeney is worthy. A great sack artist during the 2000s, Freeney was the straw that stirred the Colts defensive drink during two Super Bowl runs. He posted double-digit sack […]

Two not-so-bold Colts draft predictions – Ballard will get it right, and Jerry Tillery won’t be the pick
April 24, 2019

What will the Colts do tomorrow night with their 26th pick in the NFL Draft? Colts GM Chris Ballard is the guy who will pull the trigger, and he has no idea what will happen. So how can we even begin to venture a guess? There are a few things we do know about Ballard […]

Nutty Colts fans need to slow their roll – Ballard knows what the hell he’s doing!
March 12, 2019

Colts fans need to wise up. Chris Ballard knows what he is doing. On the day before free agents can actually sign their deals, Colts fans are losing their minds because Ballard appears to have only wide receiver Devin Funchess on his radar. Other teams like the Jets and and Packers are spending like opening […]

Colts sign WR Devin Funchess to a one-year deal that limits liability; if Funchess busts, no harm done
March 12, 2019

The Colts will sign wide receiver Devin Funchess to a one-year, $13 million deal when free agency opens tomorrow. The shorter the term of the deal, the more manageable the downside, so even if Funchess is a bust, the Colts will only experience a small ding as a consequence. The upside is dependent upon Funchess […]

Frank Reich and Chris Ballard speak, and boring leadership is beautiful for the Colts
February 28, 2019

The Colts front office and coaching staff are boring. Fans should love it. Sure, it would be more fun to write and talk about a team in total disarray with a rampaging buffoon clumsily running the show. Arguing with people bad at running sports franchises is fun for the media. This is not that. General […]

5 things Colts need to do to beat the Chiefs and move on to the AFC Championship
January 9, 2019

People in Kansas City believe the divisional round playoff game between their top seeded Chiefs and #6 seed Indianapolis Colts will be a coronation. It’s the NFL’s most dominant offense against the cute upstarts from that jerkwater town in the middle of a jerkwater state. It’s barbecue against funnel cakes for the people of that oh-so-cosmopolitan […]

January 3, 2019

The Colts have a chance this weekend to extend their turnaround season in Houston. A win, and the reward is a trip to Kansas City for another opportunity to end the Super Bowl dreams of of Chief fans. (Since 1995, the Chiefs have gone to the playoffs nine times, and have won only a single […]
