Friday, December 23rd, 2011

Prior to Thursday's game, Colts owner Jim Irsay told the NFL Network that the only way Peyton Manning wouldn't play for the Colts next year is if he does not recover from the neck injury that has kept him out all season. Irsay's Colts then showed he wasn't joking with an ...

Farewell, Bob

Friday, February 18th, 2011

What was seemingly inevitable is now a sad reality. According to Jim Irsay via Twitter, the great Bob Sanders was just released by the Indianapolis Colts this morning. It was undeniably the only option left for the Colts, but it is still a sad day for many fans in Indianapolis. On a per game basis, there's ...

Bill Polian Thinks He’s Bad At His Job

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011

And you thought Vernon Gholston was the biggest DE/LB hybrid first round flop in Saturday's Jets-Colts playoff game. Sure Gholston, the No. 6 pick in 2008, was inactive. But that's an epic upgrade from the contributions of Colts DE Jerry Hughes. According to Colts president Bill Polian, Hughes, the 31st pick in ...

Is Bob Sanders Now Officially Overrated?

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

I already know this is going to get me in trouble with those crazy Colts fans in Middle Indiana. You know what? I don't care. If there's one player Colts fans refuse to let people rag on aside from Peyton Manning it has to be the oft-injured Bob Sanders. They love ...

Jim Sorgi Must Like Himself Some Manning

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Few outside Indianapolis or the greater metropolitan area probably know who Jim Sorgi is or what he's done for the last six seasons. The reason is simple: Sorgi has been backup to Peyton Manning, which means he's done little other than hold a clip board, run the scout team and perhaps ...

Super Bowl Ironies

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

A few leftover notes from this year's Super Bowl: - How fitting is it that the two players most responsible for breaking Colts fans' hearts in this year's Super Bowl were rooted on by the very same fans in their collegiate careers? Purdue alum Drew Brees was the MVP of the game, ...

I Swear I’m Not Gloating

Monday, February 8th, 2010

For those not aware, I'm a southern California native stuck in the frigid confines of the Hoosier State. For the past six years I've had to hear from everyone how great the Colts are. Every season it's the same thing. Some choice quotes I hear every year: "Peyton Manning is ...

Hot Tub Time Machine Brings Us Criminal QBs And Defeats

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

So I’m sitting in this hot tub with three other middle-aged dudes, getting drunk, having a blast and then BAM! all of the sudden the water starts spinning and the next thing I know we’re in 1986. Sounds retarded, right? Well ladies and gentlemen, I give you the premise for “Hot Tub ...

Your Official Ridiculous Colts’ Super Bowl XLIV E-Mail Thread

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Every group has one. That one nut. A crazed fan who spouts off stats more than The Situation lifts his shirt. I have a friend who qualifies. He is without a doubt the most ridiculous sports fan I've ever encountered. I swear, if this kid put half as much effort into ...

How QBs Tell You To Go “F” Yourself

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

On Thursday night’s “SportsCenter” tease, I heard a sound byte from Brett Favre when he was asked what he thought about the reports there is a “schism” in the Vikings locker room. Favre’s response: “I don’t even know what that means.” In Folksy QB Talk that translates to “Fuck you.” Favre knew what ...
