Sorry for not posting here in a long time. But really there comes a time. Where a great player must move on. As much as it is nothing personal. As this was a business decision on Irsay. But also if he doesn't retire, then hope a team can use his services. But wishing him nothing but the best of luck.
I will always remember Reggie Wayne. He was one of the most explosive threats I have ever seen in my young 30 year life.. Though there have always been doubters, seeing his career in INDY coming to a close seems fateful. These guys are immortal in the eyes of their fans but we need to realize just how precious the players are. 3 1/2 years is the average for players in the NFL, Reggie wasn't settling for that. With all of the trouble floating around in the NFL, Reggie Wayne excelled on and off th
2012: The only player of note was Redding, who has been a big part of this era, with his experience and leadership, there were quite a few mid level players signed and none really stood out....Zbikowski-Avery-McKinney-McGlynn-Satele-Staton 2013: Again, there were quite a few players signed, including 1 big name player-Landry, who was just released. There were some productive or quality players....Hasselback-Toler-Butler-Cherilus-Francois-Havili-Bradshaw and Walden and some that didn't.....Frankl
2012: Started out with a bang, with one of the best offensive drafts in NFL history, stats-wise. Some credit has to be given for picking Luck, over RG 111. Followed by Fleener, Allen and trading up for Hilton, then adding Ballard and Chapman, if Ballard can get past the injury bug, I think he can be a very good player. Brazil was another pick who showed some promise, but off field issues led to his release. The other 3 picks didn't amount to much (Anderson-Fugger) although Harnish hung around on
CB: Davis- one of the best all-around DB's in the NFL Toler- very good-some games, average-the others Butler- very good #3 CB, who excells at the hard to master skill of covering the slot receiver Gordy-adequate Very good at the top, with very little depth, This is an area where a team needs to have a lot of depth, Gordy and Bulter are free agents and should be a priority, especially Bulter, The Colts have aquired many players with off field issues in this new era, some have worked out, some ha
Why should we sign Demarco Murray? Well, here's a couple reasons. 1- He rushed for 1,845 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2014, most in the nfl. Now you could say that was just because he was behind the best O-line in the nfl, and that he wouldn't work with us because of that, but you're wrong. Obviously it helps to have such good O-lineman, but did you watch the Colts-Broncos playoff game? Andrew was sacked 0 times. They were also opening holes for Boom Herron and Trent Richardson, but of course Boo
Daniel Adongo, a young rugby player who has a familiarity with carrying the ball; let us not forget all you have to do is look at the man with your eyes (or eye whatever) and see that he is an athlete. The football deities know we need some kind of spark in the run game: There is a strong possibility that you may find this confusing; it could easily even be infuriating, but there is a long haul before we see some Colts ball and I believe Richardson and Bradshaw are going to be dismissed. So why
DE/DT: Redding- played well, but is on the down slide Jones- was supossed to be a difference maker, but missed a lot of games and when he was healthy, wasn't a consistent factor Moala- missed the year Jean-Francois- played ok Pendleton-missed year Nobody in this group strikes fear into the offense and only Jones would be considered above average and maybe that was the problem, not enough talent-overall and teams shifted their attention to him..............both lines need upgraded and it is harde
OL-T: Castonzo has gotten better each year and is solid Cherilus is good, prob could use an upgrade, although that prob isn't going to happen until his contract is up Reitz- filled in for Cherilus and played as well, if not better and could move ahead of him. Ulrick- from last years draft class also fits into the mix and if he looks good, may move Rietz inside. Reitz is a free agent, his play and versatility should make him a priority re-signing ..............not an need area G: Thomas has misse
QB: Luck- the best young QB in the league and near the top of any list Hasselbeck- a luxury-for now, very good backup, could retire any year and is a free agent, but it's hard to walk away from a job that pays close to 4 million a year, to watch a football game, even at 39 will prob hang on a few more years.....it will be hard to find a quality backup like him, when that time comes....................hopefully not a need area RB: Bradshaw has been the most productive player, but injuries are a
This season we came one step closer to the ultimate goal. There are a number of holes in our team we need to fill. Here are some of my ideas. Let go of Ahmad Bradshaw. He's old, gets injured a lot, is a free agent, and would free up salary space. Pursue Ray Rice. He's a good fit for our team. He's a tough runner and a good receiver. There may be some controversy there, but Indianapolis makes the most sense of teams for him to play for. His old coach (from his Super Bowl win), Chuck Pagano, is th
We should trade Andrew Luck for Concrete Charlie Bednarik and the guy who played Johnny in 'Johnny Be Good' (but he could never break character; it would be well known throughout the land, and stored written record.) All foolishness aside: why just release Trent when we could trade him get ANYTHING, and move on; believe me friend we can get something from someone why take on the dead money? Richardson has the ability he just simply doesn't fit with this team and has possible issues outside of fo
I have loved watching football for a good 30 years and the Patriots latest stunt makes me sick. Our children look up to these people. And now we are going to see a dirty cheating coach go to the supper bowl and probably win by cheating. Thank you NFL for allowing this to happen show our youths that it is ok to alter or take unfair advantage of others to get what you wont. The patriots should be taken out of the supper bowl and let the Ravens and Cots play and the far winners gets to play the Se

Well here we are: an AFC Championship game and a Cory Redding guarantee. This team has amazed and baffled, from great wins to head scratching blowouts; we are truly battle tested. And yet, the main stream media would rather discuss Andrew Lucks beard and why the other team lost. All of that said we are truly blessed to be the home town of the horseshoe. So the next time you hear a tight lipped man (who shall remain unnamed) on ESPN 2 say anything about OUR guy, OUR team or OUR owner; remember th

I WANT TO FIRST SAY THAT WE AS COLTS FANS ARE SOMEWHAT SPOILED WITH VIRTUALLY NON-STOP SUCCESS FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS.....AND I DO REALIZE THERE WAS ONLY 1 SUPER BOWL WIN IN THERE ALONG WITH 1 OTHER TRIP.....STILL IT'S BEEN A PRETTY GOOD RIDE THAT VERY FEW NFL FANS GET TO TAKE.....THAT BEING SAID.....THE PAGANO / RYAN GRIGSEN ERA COLTS " HAVE " TAKEN A STEP FORWARD EACH YEAR .....AND I AGREE THAT I HAVE SEEN SOME QUESTIONABLE DECISION MAKING.....BUT 33 AND 15 IWITH 3 PLAYOFF WINS IS STILL SOMETHING
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.

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.

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
