Previewing the Colts and Jets on wildcard weekend

Last year, the Colts gave away the perfect season to the New York Jets at home in week 16. That game also allowed the Jets to narrowly make the playoffs, then later return to Indianapolis in the AFC Championship game.

Today, Indianapolis hosts loudmouth Rex Ryan and the Jets to Lucas Oil Stadium.

Digging into the Jim Harbaugh frenzy – Captain Comeback should ultimately stay at Stanford

The Jim Harbaugh hoopla has went on long enough. Like everyone else, I am ready for this commotion to conclude.

Captain comeback is clearly the hottest name in coaching both at the college and professional level. He is very charismatic and carries himself like a ‘real’ football coach; demanding, hard-nosed, and intense.

Thursday, junior quarterback Andrew Luck announced that he will return to Stanford for …

Behind on the camera-Dwight Freeney promos on ESPN

Dwight Freeney sacks quarterbacks on Sunday’s. The Indianapolis Colts defensive end visited the ESPN studios in Bristol, Connecticut during his bye week and recorded these funny promotions.

Andrew Luck staying in college isn’t admirable. It’s dumb.

Andrew Luck’s recent decision has me dumbfounded.  His choice to stay at Stanford next year has been called admirable, courageous, smart.  If Luck went to the NFL draft he would be the sure-fire first overall pick from the Carolina Panthers. They even said so.

There are so many things that could go wrong here.  The first being, he’s throwing away millions, even if he is …

Minnesota earns first Big Ten win topping Indiana 67-63

Coming into the game, both Indiana and Minnesota were searching for their first conference win. Despite playing their best basketball in Big Ten play, the Hoosiers fell to the Gophers Tuesday night at Williams Arena 67-63.

The game summary is a reoccurring theme this season, “The Hoosiers fought until the very end and had many bright points but couldn’t get it done.”

This was another …

This homeless man has become a social media sensation.

His name, Ted Williams. From Columbus, Ohio, Williams can usually be found at the Hudson ramp off I-71 South.

Check out the video to the right, it is amazing.

The power of twitter has this mans talent spreading like wildfire.
