1. Andrew Luck-QB-Stanford-6'4-235-4.6 Haven't really seen anywhere that had anything other than #1 overall, is the highest rated QB since Peyton (1998) or elway (1983) depending on the source. He has all of the qualities than made Peyton a great QB and is a better athlete-should end his career as one of the best in NFL history............the best? Very likely 2. Coby Fleener-TE-Stanford-6'6-250-4.5 Considered by most sources as a 1st or high 2nd round pick, some had him rated as the best TE, ot
It's that time of year again when I am suffering from football withdrawals and amuse myself by creating National Day blogs. Today is National Mother Goose Day. As a child, I only owned one book. It was a Mother Goose nursery rhyme book. The pages of that book became ragged as I read and reread those rhymes. That inquisitive child often questioned some of those rhymes which drove my mother nutz Let's take Humpty Dumpty. I would ask: Why was he sitting on a wall? And, if he took a great f
It has come to full light that the indianapolis colts ( who I adore) are doing the right thing in the football world. We are setting our new main man up with weapons to succeed in this next level. I'm not sure about the fact that we didn't draft heavier on defense the first year out, but I truly do understand the mindset of where we're headed in the near future. Last season's draft was clearly to protect the quarterback, which we truly didn't have. This year clearly was offensive minded, an
its the over now we have our guy andrew luck cool. well its looks like he is ready for the colts team. my grade for the colts i have to wait and see the how he is plays. but he is getting the people he needs. what are you thougths on the the colts?? let me kown please thanks you
Well, we talked about it for weeks. We waited in barely contained anticipation...THE DRAFT. Would we indeed draft Luck? Would Grigson get it right? Would we go heavy on defensive drafts b/c of Pagano? Would we, would we, would we... ... ... So... ... ...did we? Is it a job well done? My answer--Yes. Thursday. Primetime rolled around, the draft is opened...15 seconds ticked off our clock before Grigson picked up phone and made the call to our #1...by 8:10, Andrew Luck was an Indianapolis

First Draft of the new era is over, and with newly drafted players and new FAs, an almost whole picture of the Monster can be seen. With no surprise Colts picked Andrew Luck of Stanford with 1/1 pick, only picks of later rounds caused some excitement. With the remaining 9 picks the teem took 7 more offensive players and only two men to defense.However this season's draft seems quite ok as meeting almost all of the Colts' needs. The question is again: is our D-line enough or O will have to oversc
Humbling Experience Yesterday morning I awoke, knowing that I would be headed to the Annual Special Olympic Track Meet to cheer on several wonderful young men and women that I have come to know over the past 10 ~ 12 years. When I awoke, it was cold, misting of rain, and very dreary outside. I felt myself wishing that they would just “call it off”. I didn’t want to leave my nice warm cozy home to go out in the less than desirable weather…. I mean seriously, Who would..??? I arrived at th
1(1) QB Andrew Luck A+ We just lost a franchise QB and have another one to step right in. I can count more fingers on one hand than the number of QBs that have come out of college this highly rated. 2(34) TE Coby Fleener B+ Great size and can get to the second level that many TEs have troubles doing. There were 2 or 3 better players available, but the chemistry Fleener and Luck have adds value to this pick. 3(64) TE Dwayne Allen A- A freak of nature type of athlete. Some of the best hands in th
Finally the NFL Draft has begun today. As expected Andrew Luck to be taken as #1. As think that we will make a great decision. And Luck seems to be the man of Indy, for many, many more years to come! Let the NFL Draft and the Luck era...BEGIN!
Team, not the players, the team, not the players. If you don’t know what I am talking about, feel free to read on. Since the docking of the Mayflower, The Colts has made a huge imprint on my life. I cherish memories like raising my frosty mug to Duke Tumatoe’s song: “Lord Help our Colts” (by the way there is a new version on Youtube for the 2011 season). I remember bracing myself in amusement during the crazy punt returns and the ‘Verdance’ of Clarence VerdIn (one of my all time favorites). I do

Fans were waiting him as much as Santa at Christmas, and now it is officially confirmed: Stanford's Andrew Luck will be picked by Colts with the #1 pick. Now Grigson and Pagano has to equip him with "armor of Gods" in other words: he must be surrounded with talents in offensive line and provide him (future) potent WRs as targets. FO has now 9 picks to fill in holes, after Free Agency, Colts are expected to spend their picks on offensive players. I cannot see Grigson's and Pagano's cards, but I
This will be my first blog on the new site. After months of researching I have finally got my top 40 players ranked. I rated 323 players, I broke them down to a top 10 for each postion , then the top 40-overall. There are always players projected for the first round that don't get picked and a few that weren't projected, that do............ 1. A.Luck-QB 2. M. Kalil-T 3. T. Richardson-RB 4. R. Griffin-QB 5. Q. Coples-DE 6. M. Claiborne-CB 7. J. Blackmon-WR 8. R. Reiff-T 9. L. Kuechly-ILB 10. M. B
A COMPANY WE SHALL NOT NAME HAS FILED SUIT AGAINST LUCK IN REGARDS TO A FOOTBALL TRADING CARD IMAGE OF LUCK AT THE ALL AMERICAN GAME. HIS PEOPLE ( NICE TO HAVE PEOPLE ALREADY) HAD ADVISED SAID COMPANY THEY DID NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO USE HIS IMAGE ON A CARD. GUESS IT GOT KINDA STICKY AFTER THE CEASE AND DESISIT ORDER. COMPANY INSISTS, THEY DO HAVE PERMISSION TO USE IMAGES FROM AN ALL AMERICAN GAME. MAYBE, THATS A GOOD WAY TO GET YOUR COMP NAME IN THE HEADLINES... GUESS, LUCK, NOT SO LUCKY AFTER

ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE LAND OF SHOE THERE WAS A GREAT WARRIOR FROM THE LAND OF 18 THAT COULD ALWAYS SLAY THE DRAGONS, AND SAVE THE SHOE. THEN, ALAS, A GREAT ILL BEFELL HIM, AND, THE PEOPLE OF SHOE FELL INTO GREAT DISPARE. BUT, ALL WAS NOT LOST, ENTER THE JESTER OF THE LAND OF PAINTER. THE CLOUDS ROLLED ACROSS THE SKYS. SHALL THE PLAUGES NEVER CEASE? FEAR NOT!! FOR THE JESTER OF PAINTER HAS ENTERED THE GATES OF THE LANDS OF THE RAVEN....GOOD PEOPLE WAKE UP! IT WAS ONLY A DREAM! THE LUCKY ONE
Sure most of you have seen and heard this.; Enjoyed listening to him, he is very precise and articulate. Much easier to listen to than Irsay, I like Irsay but his speaking skills leave something to be deisred. Great football mind but not a speaker, he should keep Grigson out in front as the team spokesman. http://www.colts.com/media-center/videos/Ryan-Grigson-Pre-Draft-Press-Conference/4b940536-bff5-402c-af5b-51e6153b17d6
RIP Dick as hope you Colts fans really know that. He was ahead of his time. And that he was also a visionary. Not just a host but a producer and a shrewd businessman. Who was very humble and really seemed like a great guy. Remember watching him on American Bandstand and New Year's Eve shows. Now the latter shows will never be the same without him. RIP to the Oldest American Teenager!
NFL.com has reported that the Redskins are looking to trade him. With that in mind, what are people's opinions on what he might be worth if the Colts wanted him. Anyone think a 7th rounder is worth it? I would love to have him on our team. We need people at WR and we likely wouldn't get one until late in the draft or in the middle of it. He had 68 reps for 947 yds and 5 Tds last yr.
Is our beloved team under pressure? Yes, it is. Shock of Manning's departure is gone, now fans are mocking the next season's result. Would it be 2-14 again, or 8-8, or would Luck win SB as a rookie? After the free agency, that turned out to be quite promising under given cap-circumstances, Fans have growing expectations toward the team, and a good Draft will boost expectations even further. Last season is a serious burden on the team, as they should make the fans forget it as soon as it is possi
Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone had any news or updates on Dallas Clark, Gary Brackett, or Joseph Addai. I am new to the blogs and figured people on here regularly might be able to tell me something. I have heard rumors of retirement for each of them, but am not sure whats happening with them. Anything is of great help.
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
