I live Football 24/7, love the NFL network, and even the opinions thrown out there by the past pros. Yeah, I know, we aren't the Rex pony show. Nor do we have the most players with MUG shots. We also don't have an owner that drops bags of cash at the strip clubs. We may not have controversy, in-infighting, the all about me's, the hold-outs, or the bounty's. We don't need your sympathy, please reserve that for Tampa, Arizona, or, even, the Dream Team ( yeah right). We may not star in the most co
Been enjoying reading recent entries,an feel ya all, but the New era will be a progression that can't be rushed. Instead done with great planning, and thats what i see taking place. Very encouraging about this team.Hopefully this era will a Team thats focused and very successful!
Real deal, dominator, inexplicable, one of the most NFL ready QB'S ever. Why Andrew even made the top 50 list : The Top 50 players in the NFL to build your Franchise around: coming in at #7 ( Lucky number, just sayin). Hey, remember, the Pre-season does'nt count. The Pre-season a time to smile , ( I know I am). I remember just a few short months ago that 48 hour's I could'nt speak because of that #18 thing. Oh by the way, 2 INTS in the first half, no worries PM, remember, pre-season.... I sure a
I tried to not make too much out of the last game and pre season as a whole, but for now, that's all we have to go on, so............. Playing the Steelers, in Pittsburg, would be a way better guage, then playing the Rams, in Indy Andrew Luck- I ranked him in the top 10 after last weeks game, with experience the only thing keeping him out of the top 5 Qb's in the NFL he's played 2 games, time for a promotion....I knew he was going to be special, but wasn't quite expecting this, this soon. The pi

On naional tv on NBC TV at 8pm est. As Sunday Night Football crew are there. Andrew Luck to get a better audience look. To show what he can do. And why he is the Colts face of the future, becomes the FACE OF NOW!
I want to start by saying this was my Aggravation. Let me know if you feel the same. I work a very nice Schedule I work Saturdays Sundays and Mondays then im off the rest of the week. For the past 2 weeks I went to every practice. I was there when they opened till they closed. At the end of practice I would make my way down for autographs. Only to be surrounded by a crowd of people pushing in to get Andrew Lucks Auto. Thats where my aggravation starts. I never did get Andrew's autograph in

Okay so I haven't been on here for awhile, but I book marked this site to go to my page on "Colts Direct" so I try to go there and BAM! 404 error this page doesn't exist... ummm okay so I had to make a new page because I guess I don't remember my old user name. Now your probably wondering why I'm writing this type of thing in here, well that would be because I don't know how to make a status update, unless that is only if you go through Facebook; well anyways I'm back and Super PUMPED!!! for the
I am an Indianapolis native born and raised and have been a loyal fan ever since we got the Colts, but after what Irsay did to Manning I hope they loose every game and go back to how bad they sucked before Manning and after he was injured. Peyton will shine in Denver and has many seasons left in him... Andrew luck shined in an Ivy league program but he is playing with the big dogs now and when the real season starts he'll be running for his life every play. Mod Edit for Personal Shot: Do not
Taking Care of Business. The Colts were “taking care of business” early and often on Sunday. Taking Care of Business is the new scoring celebration song at Lucas Oil and it was fun hearing it played so much. (Which makes me wonder, who decides on the music that is played in the stadium?) And the Colts did take care of business. It was a very enjoyable game, even though statistically it was meaningless. And after last year, it was nice watching an offense that could put points on the board.
I am a Dr. Suess fan and can recite many of his stories word for word. And sometimes, on these boards, the story of the Zax comes to mind. In "The Zax", a north-going Zax and a south-going Zax meet face to face. Because they stubbornly refuse to move east, west, or any direction except their respective headings around each other, the two Zax become stuck. The Zax stand so long that eventually a highway overpass is built around them, and the story ends with the Zax still standing there "unbudged
I get asked this question from time to time, as do the other moderators..........and always by someone who has been issued a warning for violating site rules. So I thought I'd just answer here. The answer is no. None of us enjoys issuing warnings to members. We would all far prefer that everybody post in a civil way all the time with no need for anything from moderation. Why aren't we nicer about asking people to comply with the rules? This is another question we get asked. (Usually this is
For the first time in a looooooooooong time, I watched a Colts game and really wasn't sure what I would see. To say there are questions that need to be answered would be a major understatement. I really think scores of pre season games shouldn't even be counted, that's how meaningless it is, it's always better to win any game than to lose, but if a team doesn't accomplish what they need to accomplish, what's the point? I saw about what I expected to see............ Offense: I would say Luck one
Right outta Hollywood, a nice pitch to Donald Brown, and away he goes for that 63 yard TD. 4 Possessions, 3 TD'S not bad. The last such blow out was back in 1966 against WA. So what do we have here?? A little DAZZLE, with a side of Destroy?? Hold them horses boys, reality check, it was the RAMS... What is the media sayin... well coached, and, continues to be the least penalized team in the NFL. With a QB rating of 142.6 it could be a great year.. And to the sold out crowd at Luck-as Oil, you wou
From the moment I woke up, I knew it was going to be a busy morning. I woke up and immediately ran my customary five miles; returned home and cleaned up just in time to watch the gold medal men's Olympics basketball game. In truth, I'm not a fan of any of the players on that U.S. team, but I am a huge fan of my country. I also happen to be a fan of several of Spain's players so, all in all, it was nice to see a competitive game. That contest went rather quickly, ending at just over 9 a.m. (I'm o
For those that say 'preseason doesn't matter, I quote Mark Schlereth; "It may not COUNT, but it DOES matter. Many players get their starts because they got to shine in preseason, including myself." Quote ME on this: For a team that went 2-14 the year before, overhauled the coaching staff as well as most of the team, including the loss of future Hall of Fame QB and offensive genius Peyton Manning, has MANY rookies as starters, and has struggled to maintain a loyal fanbase...it DOES matter. You
Sure this is pre-season. But see how good Andrew looked today. As he seems to be at ease. In only his first unofficial game. The fans seem so far to be pleased. One pre-season game down, three more to go before the regular season opens up.
In two days, the Indianapolis Colts take the field in their first game against real competition. Even though it is preseason, it is still the maiden event for what has become a completely revamped franchise. One would have to draw some very sketchy comparisons to find a team historically that has changed so many aspects in just one off-season. In review, this franchise lost it's franchise QB to injury and that loss was followed by poor team play, questionable coaching decisions, head scratching
It's LeBron being LeBron. I have never been a fan of his for many reasons. He looks like a decent family man and takes great care of his kids + has never been in trouble with the law so I respect him for that - he is also a Great Basketball player, best today. Having said that his ego is outrageous, he left Cleveland in his prime because he couldn't win a Championship. Peyton Manning for example never thought about leaving Indy because he couldn't win for years against the Pats and Steelers in
Yes, that is a fair point some individuals just like to stir the pot & cause controversy & mayhem simply because their life has not turned out as well as they wish it had. Like it's somebody's else's fault that they don't make enough money or have a pretty girlfriend or any girlfriend for that matter.
Look, I'm not trying to minimize any fatality white, black, male, or female & I know that being a police officer is not an easy job. I get that. I just wanna get to an atmo
I am getting ready to get off work so I will have to respond to your Post tomorrow in more detail but all great points. Racism will probably never go away unfortunately as there are just people in this world that are ignorant and violent. I am not sure how anyone can solve some of the violence talking place. It just seems to get worse and worse with groups of people getting shot in night clubs, theaters, etc. for no reason. White cops aren't doing themselves any favors either by shooting unarmed
Thank you CBE for your response to my blog entry. I know how busy peoples daily lives are so I am grateful for feedback & different points of view on this subject matter.
Max Kellerman on ESPN 'First Take' has made the intriguing argument that in America anyway the Natl. Anthem standing up during it is a mandatory gesture of compliance as opposed to a voluntary one where dissent is frowned upon & even called out publicly if you refuse to stand up while the Star Spangled Bann
Here's my short take on Colin and what is going on: I have no problem with people protesting about something they believe in or serious matters like racism, that is everyone's right to do so. Where I have the problem is dissing the American flag. It doesn't accomplish anything and it really gets many people to dislike you and question why you are doing that. To me it's dissing the Military and the USA when you don't acknowledge the flag. All you are doing is drawing negative attention to yoursel
I hope you're hanging in there brother as well as can be expected given such heart wrenching circumstances. Miss you man. I'm here if you need me. God bless, my friend.
YSGC,
Thank you for being brave enough to share such personal information about the loss of your beloved father. That took a tremendous amount of courage on your part.
Naturally, that void in your life will never be filled of course, but this line made me smile:
"He insisted we bury him in his Colts gear" Awesome!
When are people going to realize that the offensive line talent in last year's draft, outside of La'ell Collins, just wasn't that good? Sure we could've used a couple of picks on some mediocre o-line talent, and people would be right here, with their 20/20 hindsight, saying that they were terrible picks, and that Grigson should be fired.
Instead, we took a WR. People didn't like the pick, as the Colts allegedly were already "stacked at WR." Well, fast forward to this year: Johnson is
