Watching the Patriots roll over the Giants on Thursday Night Football last night, I heard Joe Buck declared Bill Belichick as the greatest coach in NFL history. How the hell does Buck know whether Belichick is a better coach today than George Halas or Curly Lambeau were in the 1920s? Does Don Shula not merit […]
When Vontaze Burfict lowered his helmet to hit kneeling Colts tight end Jack Doyle in the head, flags flew. Referees conferred and Burfict was ejected from the game. This morning it is being reported that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will suspend Burfict for the rest of the 2019 season. The NFL has been dragged kicking and […]
Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown is objectively believed to be crazy. He’s setting a new standard for NFL narcissism, and that’s saying something. Brown reportedly had a disagreement with GM Mike Mayock yesterday that nearly escalated into a fistfight. Because of that, and a short but colorful history of non-compliance with management, Brown will be […]
It’s possible Jim Irsay refused a $3.2 billion offer to sell his Indianapolis Colts, as the Colts told the Indianapolis Star. It’s also possible Irsay was not thrilled with yesterday’s Forbes valuation of his team at $2.65 billion, which ranked the Colts as the 20th most valuable in the NFL. Maybe he wants to sell the team, and […]
Wide receivers are crazy, and the better they are, the crazier they are allowed to be. Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown is really good, has become really crazy, and the Raiders now have no choice but to embrace it. When he played for the Steelers, Brown’s antics expressing displeasure with the offense and quarterback […]
It’s easy to make fun of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and the charges that he was physically serviced twice in 17 hours on January 19th and 20th at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Florida. That the second visit took 15 minutes from the time he walked in the door to […]

Colts GM Chris Ballard told us Sunday that defensive end John Simon was cut because the Colts are “trying to get to more right end body types and traits that we want at the position.” Body types versus football players without great measurables has been debated for a long time. Analytics, length, bend, twist, burst, […]
The return of Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has been a shiny tchotchke dangled in front of fans’ noses since the opening of training camp. It was shattered yesterday as the Colts finally placed Luck on injured reserve, which ends his season. Colts fans are rightfully miffed that their team is missing the roster’s only difference maker. That […]
There is no path through this regular season for the Indianapolis Colts that leads to a seventh season with Chuck Pagano as head coach. Pagano is a certain goner. The Colts enjoyed an ascension with Pagano as coach from 2012-2014, and then came a decline which has gathered significant steam during the first seven weeks […]
