    Don't mind the all-white, but the 80's gray pants(and stripes, I believe) weren't bad.

    I think they had this the first year in Indianapolis, I'm not sure, there is not a lot of footage of the 1984 Colts online. I wouldn't mind adding silver or using navy, but modern designers never make anything look cool, the result of new nike unifroms are..the sleeves just get shorter, the jersey/pants combo gets messy with team name down the leg or around the waist, etc..

    Please do.

     

    The white helmet - white shirt - white pant combo is about as lame as it gets.

    You do realize that the top three moments in franchise history, all had this iconic look.

    NFL Championship 1958 "greatest game ever played"

    Superbowl 5

    Superbowl 41

    I've believed this all along. And I mean not only, considering the state of our roster do we need to take advantage of guys like Mixon and Lewis falling the 3-4 range, but we need some bad boys. We need some loud mouths that tount the crowd and opponents non stop like a Suggs or Sherman. Or guys like Burfict, Talib, Jenkins, Pacman, etc. Guys who come straight outta the geto. Guys like Bernard Pollard who played angry and seem like they actually try to take players out. We need that. I don't want a bunch of good guys. I want guys who'd rather kill somebody than to lose a game, guys who only care about winning, etc. We were always taught winning is EVERYTHING!!! BUT....Not saying Mixon and Lewis are like this. All they've done is hit women like some scumbags, but they'll fall down the board because of that. And I'd MUCH rather have a full of scumbags who can ball that mediocrity. We can come out of this draft and drastically improve our team right away IMO. But back to Mixon and Lewis. They're both late 1st-early 2nd round picks. When you can get a talent like that in the 2-3-4 you gotta take it. I mean hell if we got Lewis and Mixon in the 3rd and 4th it's be like 3 1st rounders, maybe 4 depending on what we do in the 2nd.

    I wouldn't get that excited about this approach, how well does it work for the Bengals? You can have passion for winning without having a rap sheet. I don't know about the line "straight outta the geto/" that made me groan, unless you have lived in a situation like this it's hard to give this status as a key to winning. yes, If someone rose up from a hostile environment and became a success their mental strength should be able to handle adversity well, but, that type of atmosphere can scar you mentally too. I agree I want future Colts who are not hugging the opponent after a loss, but how many guys are like this in the NFL in 2017? 

  4. Meaningless triviia of the day: 

     Do Colts fans know that the Steelers have only won 2 Super Bowls in the last 30 years 2005,2008 those two years were ironic, since those were the only two years the Colts beat the Steelers in the regular season in the last 30 years. so basically the minute they beat us in a regular season game they are mathematically eliminated form winning the Super Bowl.

  5. "Was watching First Take this morning"

    You lost me with this line, First Take the annoying show of people wasting 30 to 60 minutes yelling at each other about who the best player or best team is ...Did they run out of conversation for 5 seconds about Lebron James, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, New England Patriots,  Los Angeles Lakers, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, to actually mention the Colts ?? 

  6. I have seen the sneak peak of the Detroit Lions uniforms on Chris Creamer's logo site and they have Lions script on the sleeves,It's not terrible and isn't quite as bad as Browns written down the pants but, teams that have existed pre-1960 should keep their iconic looks and only modify if it enhances the look not turns a look into a arena football rejects. Black alternate jerseys (Cardinals, Eagles) and tacky lsarge script writing (Browns) stay away from the classic Colts look.

  7. I don't watch college football, and reading constant stories about football programs out of control (this isn't  the only one) dampens my enthusiasm for football somewhat. I am aware that if you have 100 young men in any profession you find some bad apples, it's the serious cover-ups at Baylor, Penn State and to a lesser degree  rampant cheating scandal at North Carolina that the NCAA was toothless to punish severely. Corruption, It's not new, Miami (Fl) Oklahoma, Nebraska, Arizona St, Minnesota, Florida St.,Colorado,Oklahoma St.,Texas A&M, Washington, Florida, Houston, SMU, have all let their football programs get out of control. I know a lot of people (southeast U.S.A.) who like the college game much more than the NFL game due to owners, & franchise moves. It's just that at least there is a owner or commissioner to blame in the NFL problems.  

  8. Pat would probably be one of the best commentators on broadcast TV certainly has more charisma than Troy Aikman or Bill Cowher or even Tony Dungy(sorry), I think Paul MacGuire was the only punter I know of who made it as a TV personality.personally, I don't think Pat is that funny as a comedian, but would be funny as a guy trading barbs with guys making jokes about kickers on a NFL morning show. or a third guy in the booth like Tony Siragusa did for Fox.

  9. top 3 plays for me of 2016

    1. Luck to Doyle TD, final  TD of the season, helped avoid a losing season.

    2. Jordan Todman opening kickoff against GB, shocking a kickoff TD first in two decades.

    3. Duane Allen wide open TD vs. Jets on MNF (either of them)

    I mostly listen to the games on the internet, so I might have missed some amazing moments.

  10. Tony Dungy

     

    2002- first round blowout loss to the Jets 

    2003- third round  loss to the Patriots

    2004- second round blowout loss to the Patriots

    2005- second round gut wrenching loss to the Steelers

    2006- Super Bowl champions

    2007- second round loss to the Chargers

    2008- first round OT loss to the Chargers

     

    Chuck Pagano

    2012- first round loss to Ravens

    2013- second round blowout loss to Patriots

    2014- third round blowout loss to Patriots 

     

    so looking at the 3 year pace it's dead even for Chuck and Tony
