Evaluating the Colts’ 2015 Draft

The Indianapolis Colts surprised almost everyone selecting the speedy WR Philip Dorsett out of the University of Miami in the first round of this year’s NFL Draft. Not only was Dorsett considered by many a huge risk in the first round due to his lack of overall production in college, but using a first-round pick on a position already loaded with stars like T.Y. Hilton, …

Reggie Miller, George Hill react to Wayne’s time being over in Indy

The Colts announced Friday morning that they will not re-sign 14-year veteran wide receiver Reggie Wayne, saddening Colts fans everywhere.

It did not come at a surprise, as Wayne battled injuries and had a relatively unproductive season last year. And they have two young receivers taking over, plus they are looking to add another in free agency. But still, it’s a harsh reality.

Patriots deflate rules again — Goodell must harshly penalized Patriots, Belichick

Rules are rules. That’s what it comes down to.

Rules are to be followed so that every team is on a level playing field, and the NFL can maintain the integrity of the game. You lose integrity, and consequences follow. From fans, TV viewers, advertisers, etc.

That’s why NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell needs to show up and lay the hammer down on the New England …

Robert Mathis tears Achilles while suspended, working out on his own

I didn’t get it then and my opinion hasn’t changed. When individuals associated with teams are suspended, they should, in most cases, be allowed at the team facility with access to the abundance of resources.

Detroit Lions hire ex-Colts coach Jim Caldwell as its next leader

Former Colts coach Jim Caldwell has landed his second head-coaching gig. The Detroit Lions made it official on Tuesday that they’ve hired the 58-year-old to be the franchise’s next leader.

My first reaction is that I’m happy for him. He gave a lot to Indianapolis and the Colts, on staff from 2002-2011. He took over for beloved coach Tony Dungy in 2009 … and I …
