1. In response to the death of one of their teachers - Jennifer Longworth - in the Richmond Hills explosion tragedy - the Greenwood school system has set up a scholarship program !! For the first 10 years - the scholarship winner MUST be a former student of Jennifer Longworth !!

Not surprizingly - Colts owner Jim Irsay was the FIRST donor to the scholarship fund !! I continue to be amazed by the generousity of this gentleman when it comes to local charitable concerns !!

2. Sunday at the Buffalo Bills home game - a Colts cheerleader agreed to have her head shaved by Colts mascot "Blue" in response to his challenge to raise $10 thousand for Leukemia research.

First - "Blue" put in the effort to raise more than the original $10 thousand - instead raising OVER $22 thousand !!

Secondly - Cheerleader Megan kept her commitment to have her head shaved - but - was joined by a second cheerleader & cancer survivor Crystal Anne !! They both went "bald" in their selfless support of Coach Chuck Pagano !!

Lastly - in yet another "classy move" - BOTH cheerleaders donated their long locks to "Locks of Love" - a charity which makes wigs for children with cancer !!

I don't know about the rest of you - but - I am THRILLED to be a fan of a team of CLASSY individuals - from the owners office - all the way thru the remainder of the organization !!

Also this weekend, Colts player Mike McGlynn replaced $500 dollars worth of presents stolen from the van of a Greenwood family. His wife saw the news report about the theft and told him about it and as soon as the game ended Sunday he was on the phone with them and arranging to replace the stolen items. We are so lucky to have such a CLASS organization from top to bottom.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.

      For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.

      3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team.

      Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.

      Yes, yes he did. If you scroll back to old Pagano post you’ll see how much blame he got. I definitely hold Pagano is regards to letting Luck down on the offensive side of the ball. I also see the Houston Texans inevitably going down the same path.   D’joun Smith is who you’re thinking of.   Grigson is looked at as an overall bust and a terrible drafter so naturally the blame will be more widely accepted. There is no doubt things will be heating up under Ballards seat if anything less then winning the division is obtained this year. The QB position has been his Achilles heel. If Richardson is healthy this season I believe his roster will be very heavily evaluated with no excuses this year.
