by Kent Sterling The NFL Preseason is a lot like Easter for kids. They look forward to the holiday, and when it arrives wonder why they bothered. Fans look forward to anything that looks a little like the game they love, but the starters are pulled after a couple of series, and everyone whines about […]
by Kent Sterling At the end of the NFL Lockout in 2011, former Indianapolis Colts center Jeff Saturday gave New England Patriots owner a hug and thanked him for his role in ending the work stoppage. It became the money shot for the biggest sports story of the year, and Jeff Saturday became a star. […]
by Kent Sterling There was no way that any of those players cut by NFL teams today were going to make the final cut to 53, but it still hurts to get the tap on the shoulder or the call to come to the team’s office. Everyone cut today was – at the minimum – […]
by Kent Sterling The Colts enter tonight’s game against the Browns with some work to do. Three players (Pat Angerer, LeRon Landry, and Hugh Thornton) who’ve seen no preseason action are back, and the offense needs to build on the momentum from last week’s win against the New York Giants.

by Kent Sterling Colts owner Jim Irsay is a bit of a puzzle wrapped in a riddle encased in an enigma, so trying to guess what he’s trying to do with his Twitter account is anyone’s guess. When making a guess, it’s always good to talk to someone who worked with the mercurial head horseshoe […]
by Kent Sterling Jim Irsay’s tweets were no more meaningful to the result of tonight’s win at MetLife Stadium than the super fan in Eagledale who watches from the same barcalounger in his lucky and faded Tony Siragusa jersey. The Colts won for a few reasons – the defense didn’t allow a touchdown, and Reggie […]
by Kent Sterling Another August weekend, another preseason football game without a meaningful result.
