Nice Rod Woodson. Can't say you are wrong. Standout player at Purdue and a Hall of Famer in the NFL. A lot of people don't like Bob Knight so I get it. One of my best friends doesn't have Knight on it either. He has Jeff Gordon instead because of racing (this is a racing state) and Gordon going to high school here, growing up here and dominating the Brick Yard 400 in NasCar.
I mostly chose Rod Woodson because he still helps out the state. He still lives in Fort Wayne (part time) and still hosts football camps each year. A great guy.

My Mt Rushmore for sports figures in Indiana are:
1. Peyton Manning - Played from 1998-2010 seasons. Won a SB, went to 2 SB's, won 4 League MVP's while here in Indianapolis.
2. Reggie Miller - Was a Pacer from the 1988-2005 seasons. He got us to the Finals in 2000 where we played the Lakers in 6 tough games. We also went to 6 Eastern Conference Finals with him leading the way = 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000Finals, 2004. He is also in the NBA Hall of Fame.
3. Bobby Knight - Was Head Coach of the IU Hoosiers from 1972-2000 seasons. He won 3 National Championships = 1976, 1981, and 1987. The 1976 team went undefeated at 32-0. He also went to another Final 4 in 1992.
4. Larry Bird - Had a bigger impact on the Boston Celtics as an NBA player but here in Indiana, he led Indiana St to the Final game of the NCAA Tournament in 1979 and he was born here in Indiana. He was also a great Head Coach for the Pacers from 1998-2000. Getting the Pacers to the Finals in 2000.
Lets say Caitlan Clark wins 3 or 4 WNBA Championships here in Indianapolis, she will be knocking on this door!
Mine would be similar. In no particular order:
Larry Bird
Reggie Miller
Payton Manning
Rod Woodson.

Unfortunately, I agree, great women Soccer players feel like they should be paid more too but you can only be paid so much based on your audience watching = Fact. If the same amount of people went to games and watched the WNBA like they do the NBA, Clark would be making millions. There is nothing women's leagues can do about it because they don't have the audience to increase their salaries = Fact. It has nothing do with discrimination. Money is money. I think most WNBA players know this and so do most Soccer players. That Megan Rapone who plays women's Soccer player makes me want to puke. I can't stand her. She puts down the US all the time, I would like to see her live in any other country and get the chances and make the money she has had here.
Back to Clark, I am sure Clark is extremely happy with that salary playing a kid's game. She loves the US as well and would never kneel for the flag either. With her sponsors she will be a millionaire anyway and loved here in Indianapolis.
I agree. The WNBA is ticking upward but it has to sustain it. I do not watch the NBA or WNBA, I quit watching the NBA 10 years ago.

biden is whining that the women players need to be paid more. I disagree. Clark will get paid $339,000 for 4 years. That is for playing a game and having lots of time off. Of course she will make more with endorsements. The WNBA averaged 6500 people per game. That is similar to lots of minor leagues.

Caitlin Clark is very pretty, especially when she dresses up and wears makeup. She also has personality and has a fan following. BTW, not every sponsor has to be beautiful or handsome. For example, Peyton Manning isn't handsome, but he has charm, talent and personality. He never lacks for sponsorship or commercials.
I think she is very average looking. But she has shown some marketability which could ear her lots of money.

157-115 Pacers win. 6th seed we are. Question is, who will we play? Bucks or Knicks 1st. Doesn't matter to me, I just wanted to stay out of Boston's bracket. Get them late when they usually choke.
My reaction: Biggest win for this franchise since forcing a Game 7 vs the Cavs and LeBron in the 2018 playoffs. One game at a time is our mantra as we plan on a long playoff run. This win is for you Indianapolis, screw the East Coast bias stuff that wanted Philly in that 6th spot and have ignored us. Laughing at you too Molly and Stephen A and your precious Philly team. We were better this year, and you can take that to the bank! Nobody ever talks about us, now they will.
It is definitely put up or shut up time. I remember everyone talking about the Pacers in that early season tournament, then it went away.

2006Coltsbestever, You were correct that Clark will have an effect on the Indy WNBA team and the league.
Unfortunately they do not list ticket sales but refer to the price increases. Everyone feels she will be taken by Indiana, no question. I do not watch the NBA or the WNBA. Is she the best player coming out of college for the WNBA?
Meanwhile, ticket marketplace Vivid Seats reports the team's regular-season opener -- a May 14 road game against the Connecticut Sun -- has seen a price increase of 91% since Clark declared for the draft. The Fever's home opener, on May 16 against the New York Liberty, has seen a 50% price increase since Clark declared, Vivid Seats reported.
At ticket platform SeakGeek, the average Fever resale price for home games is currently $182 -- a 136% increase from 2023.

Good riddance. While he was acquitted of the murders, he was convicted of armed robbery and kidnapping.

Worst officiating in a championship game I’ve ever seen. Complete manipulation of the foul sheet.
I agree. All season the refs called fouls that they did not last night. UConn had the big guards who were allowed to play overly physical.

What the heck is the NCAA thinking by having this game start at 9:20 EST?

Probably so but if anyone can beat them it is Purdue because they have the Bigs (Edey) and can shoot 3's. Last season, Purdue struggled from 3.
I agree. If Purdue players Smith, Jones, Gillis and Loyer shoot well, Purdue can win.

I think the Huskies are too deep and strong for Purdue.

I dont disagree, BUT
Stroud, by the end of the year was a top 5 QB in the NFL
Take this talent and add MUCH MORE talent. and they will be very hard to beat
I am hopeful that AR grows this next year, and looks the part, in the offseason next year, we may make some more aggressive moves.... (Like the Texans are doing right now)
The correct time to be "all in" is when you know your QB is and will play great. The Colts are a year away from that but hopefully AR shines.

Not really
But...... if we go backwards this year...... It may be time for a GM change
If we keep moving forward, even a little bit, its ok, but we need to keep improving
It as all on AR now. Stroud proved to be the Texans QB of now and the future. Had AR stayed healthy and played well, the Colts would have made the playoffs and things would be different. Right now the team needs AR to play like a first round QB and play well.

Carter didn't come across looking great, IMO.
I don't fault him though, not an easy thing to do.

Caserio can build as good of a roster as a Madden GM in real life. That's definitely a compliment.
Texans have the 7th best odds to win the SB now at +1500
They managed to make the plethora of draft picks they had pay off.

Two-time Pro Bowl defensive back Vontae Davis died this week at the age of 35.
His brother, ex-NFL tight end Vernon Davis, spoke about his brother's death in an interview with the Daily Mail.
Vernon said Vontae collapsed after stepping out of a sauna.

A touchback comes out to the 30.
I had thought they changed that to come out to the 25 yard line? I am not certain though.

have to play Saturday first. It’s named madness for a reason. I never count out anybody. NC state nor Alabama. What a twist that would be for the national championship.I'll be pulling for Alabama but do not think they stand a chance. NC State could also beat Purdue.

Fly the Flag Hozer. My 1st one of the year lol. Cubs stomp the Rockies 12-2. 3-2 now on the season. Bryant looks miserable with that team.
I'm sure the losing is miserable but don't feel bad for him, he is in a better part of the country with lots of money.

Future lines have UConn as a 5.5 point favorite over Purdue.
That seems about right. But they have to play the game.

Women's basketball: why is Iowa Hawkeyes coach hardly even mentioned? There are many reports about Caitlin Clark (well deserved), but with the team being so successful, the coach isn't in the news. I didn't even know her name, had to look it up. Maybe the media prefers controversial figures like Kim Mulkey who always seem to make headlines for themselves.
I agree that it is odd. My guess is that it is because the success is viewed as mostly because of Clark. The coaching record at iowa is good (396–217 no national championships) but not near what the other great women's basketball coaches have done.

He will still be ringless because they won't 3-peat and I will put money on it. Nobody has ever won 3 straight SB's, they have a great team, but it isn't happening.
i think most would put money on it but they could do it and will be in the hunt.
They were the favorite to start the 2022 season and won.
They were the favorite to start the 2023 season and won.
Not sure they will be the favorite to start the 2024 season but they might be.
Colts Extend Buckner. **Contract Details Updated Page 2, Spoiler it's Really BIG Savings**

I think they did this for no particular reason. They needed to extend Buckner with a new contract and decided to do this "just in case".
