If Colts general manager is such a genius, why are his Colts 32-32 in the four years since he took over? That’s a legitimate question I landed on while asking myself why I hold Ballard in such high esteem. Ballard is a good and honest GM who appears to be exceptionally centered and confident. He […]
Like all sports loving Hoosiers, I spend my time in the car between noon and three listening to Dan Dakich on 1070 the Fan, and he has long been a staunch defender of Ryan Grigson’s record as the general manager of the Indianapolis Colts. Dan has carved out an island of his very own where […]
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 […]
“Thanks for coming out at a weird time. I know you were in bars, malls, watching Indiana beat Michigan State, and spending time with your family, but my life doesn’t operate like that, so here we are on a Saturday at 5:45 in the afternoon Five years ago, I screwed up. I had become so […]

Well, that’s that. A long season filled with ups and downs, and it all came down to a screen pass dropped. Maybe it’s a good thing in the end. Better to end all hope than perpetuate an unrealistic dream – at least for the fans. There was some idiocy from the officials, even after a […]
It had to happen eventually – the Colts have become the type of team they used to mock. For a generation, the Indianapolis Colts were the team that made others pay late. Extraordinary comebacks were routine. The rest of the AFC South gritted their teeth as Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck snatched victory from the jaws […]
This was one bad team beating another bad team. That isn’t all bad. It beats losing to a bad team! For a week at least, the constant din from fans and media waiting for Colts owner Jim Irsay to finally pull the plug on the entire football operation and admit his January surprise to extend the contracts […]
The same ax used to chop wood for the Colts was wielded today to separate the Colts leader in tackles and co-leader in passes defended from the roster. When a team is 1-3 and leadership is questioned, job security is wobbly at best, and so Colts inside linebacker Sio Moore and cornerback Antonio Cromartie are unemployed tonight. […]
