by Kent Sterling Back and forth I go about the predicted fortunes of the Indianapolis Colts. They are projected to win anywhere from six to 12 games, and that’s an unusually huge swath between potential success and failure. Hard to imagine most NFL teams winning more than 12 or less than six (except for the […]
by Kent Sterling Mike Wells of the Indianapolis Star came on the Grady & Big Joe Show today, and told them that he will be sliding from the Pacers beat to the Colts beat. Mike Chappell will remain with the Star, and will also continue to cover the Colts. Other changes are expected, with rumors […]

Two from Purdue and one from Indiana decided earlier this week that their collegiate careers should continue elsewhere. There is nothing wrong with that. Basketball players […]
