Statistics.... who cares?

Flashback 1998 1st round draft pick Manning , 26 touchdowns, 28 interceptions. The average of a first round draft pick QB is 6 wins his first year. Manning's first year was 3 and 13. Seems like everyone has a stat, a prediction, and, an opinion. Indy fans are very defensive when it comes to numbers. Guess that includes me as well. Latest on line polling: 52% say Luck to be rookie of the year. It has also been said, " Don't break the rules". But, no one ever said " DON'T BREAK THE RECORDS"

2012 AFC Pre-Training Camp Preview

2012 AFC Pre-Training Camp Preview Training camp 2012 is almost here and NFL teams are now engaged in the 10 OTAs that they are allotted per the most recent CBA, so I figured it would be a good time to start my annual rankings. I will rank the teams in each division by several positional categories. While reading this, keep in mind that I am going by the whole sum of players at each position that will likely still be on the roster at the end of the preseason, not simply the projected starter(s),

Chad O Needs to Be a Team Player, Not a "Me" Player!

Chad OchoCinco should learn to be a "team player," not a "me" player as one thing is important. It is important to be a team player and a follower. Rather than somone who puts himself first. Above the interests and sadly, to the chargin of others. You win as a team, you lose a team. The way I look at things. Guy just needs to grow up. He ain't the first nor will he be the last unfortunately there are way too much of him.

1 And Done

After a less than stellar year, looks like Chad Johnson is looking for a new gig. Released from the arch rival Patriots, wonder if Ochocinco would be a good fit for the Horse shoe???... Who will be lining up to put up with this WR, the MLB, or, the NFL.. ...

Indy Cornerbacks wearing special uniform

Negative talk regarding the corner backs in Indy continues to flow from the mouths , and , the pens of the critics. Jerraud Powers is frankly sick of hearing it, he has two questions : Are you in the building? Are you working out with us? Can you see into our future? Something to prove, you bet. That CHIP we'll be wearing on our shoulder , you may not see it, but it's there... and we won't forget it.

With Current Pieces, Colts D Has Tools to Shine Early

Although the dreaded "R" word has been banned from Colts Head quarters, that hasn't stopped commentators and NFL personalities from tagging the team as a "rebuilding project." That being said, it hasn't taken the front office long to show Colts faithful that there definitely is a new regime in town.Grigs and company haven't wasted any time in diving into the free agent pool to bring in some pieces that should pay immediate dividends come gameday. Nice pieces I might add. They've even shown the w

Completely non-football related subject...

I tend to like to stay on the subject of football when I post a blog, but there is something that's eating at me and I have to get on my soap box and rant about it. Where has the respect for our veterans and current service people gone? I find it to be almost non-existant, and to be quite frank with you, it honks me off. How dare we not show them respect. How dare we not help support them when they return. How dare we not take the extra measures to enable them to have jobs. How dare we not

COLTS FANS, DISHONORABLE MENTION

DESPERATE, THAT'S THE FIRST WORD THAT COMES TO MIND IN THE OFFICE'S OF THE INDIANAPOLIS COLT'S. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 9 YEARS SEASON TICKET RENEWALS ARE BELOW 87%. A HOTSHOT OUTSIDE TICKET SALES AGENCY HAS BEEN HIRED TO TRY TO " GET THE FANS BACK IN COLT'S CAMP".

CTE, Player Toughness, & the Fate Of The NFL

In light of the legendary LB Junior Seau's suicide, the debate over numerous concussions & the side effects as a result of it later in life seems to have regained some fresh momentum again. Repeated trauma on the brain has led to a neurological diagnosis of CTE among the medical community. What exactly is this condition? CTE or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive degenerative disease of the brain found in athletes (and others) with a history of repetitive brain trauma, i

The Fundamental Weakness Of Director George Lucas

Since the NFL season is low key right now & entrenched in rookie player minicamps around the league, I figured why not write a non-related football blog just for pure entertainment value alone. Recently, I just watched a film called "The People Vs. George Lucas" released in 2010 by Exhibit A Pictures. The central thesis of the film is this: Billionaire George Lucas who vehemently fought motion picture studios to get Star Wars made according to his initial vision in the late 1970's has now be

Blue suede horseshoe

Weather turned rather stormy here, as offseason reached its low. With no major news, event or whatever fans are turning inactive. Just 2 more weeks, and Andy Luck comes home to Indy, and Monster starts to roar at full volume. Some "football experts" here in Hungary thinks Satele isn't smart enough for a center. Pffff... Come on! He had a good season at Oakland, and seems to have all of a C's vit. That guy (who claims Satele not smart enough) is a GB fun, so I shouldn't expect too much. Expectat
