Colts gut roster, ‘not out of the woods by any means’

The changes keep on coming for the Colts. When the team released Peyton Manning, it was obvious that no NFL player is safe. It’s just the matter of the business.

Colts owner Jim Irsay and new general manager Ryan Grigson have made it very clear that they are in rebuilding mode.

First it was Manning, and the cuts continue. Linebacker Gary Brackett, tight-end Dallas Clark, …

What’s keeping the Peyton decision?

By now, everyone just wants it to be over with. Stay or go. Decide already.

Owner Jim Irsay is going to take the decision, whether to pay Peyton Manning his $28M option-bonus or not, down to the final hours. And for good reason.

First of all, there is no reason to rush to judgment on someone who has been the face of the franchise, and …

Dolphins fans campaign for Peyton Manning, put up billboard

It’s no secret that just about every team would love to sign Peyton Manning to their team, once released of course.

The Indianapolis Colts haven’t officially waived him yet but unless he takes a big, big pay cut, he will become a free agent by March 8. And probably the highest-profile free agent ever in NFL history.

A group of Dolphins fans in Miami have …

Bill Polian critiques Andrew Luck’s game, says he’s Manning-like

The Indianapolis Colts hold the top pick in April’s NFL draft and owner Jim Irsay has said he will draft a quarterback.

Peyton Manning’s chance of returning to the Colts are very slim and he may not be able to play again. I do believe he will force it and at least give it a try somewhere else. We know many teams are willing to …

Super Bowl media day a treat for fans, likely to continue

On Tuesday, I had the special opportunity of attending my first-ever Super Bowl media day. With media day, comes a lot of wacko questions, answers and outfits.

And for the first time in NFL history, media day was open to fans. The fans immediately snatched up the tickets, going for $25 each, and 7,300 attended the two teams’ media session.

Doors opened at 9 a.m. …

Bill Polian becomes what he hates, a pundit, joins SiriusXM

Bill Polian has never been a fan of the media. He’s called them every bad name, and then some.

Pundits. Media heads. Bloggers. Rats.

I can only imagine what he says behind closed doors.

After being fired as Colts Vice Chairman on Jan. 2nd, Polian has landed a new gig — with the media — three weeks later.

As one of the top minds in …

The Colts timeline of moves

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay saw changes coming, but I can’t believe he thought there’d be so many drastic changes. After nine straight seasons of at least ten wins, Irsay’s Colts finished with the worst record in the National Football League.

At 2-14, the Colts now hold the top-pick in April’s NFL draft. Since the team’s last game of the season on January 1st, there …

Jim Irsay goes with a defensive mind, hires Chuck Pagano as new Colts head coach

Colts owner Jim Irsay has made his second big offseason move, hiring former Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano as head coach.

In a series of big change, Irsay has completely changed the team’s mentality.

With Pagano, 51, you get a guy that is energizing, outgoing and is well-respected by his players. He’s fiery, preaches toughness and is versatile. A big difference from the last …
