Andrew Luck was billed as the most NFL-ready quarterback prospect since Peyton Manning -- some even said John Elway. It seems fitting, then, that the 23-year-old rookie was drafted first overall by the Indianapolis Colts, the franchise that drafted both Manning and Elway (the latter forced a trade from the franchise when it was in Baltimore) with the top pick. While the … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts’ Andrew Luck showing promise entering third game against Jacksonville Jaguars

What the offseason might have in store for the Indiana Pacers
With the highly anticipated NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder now under way, a thought randomly popped into my head: It wasn't very long ago that I was thinking the Pacers could conceivably be playing in this series. That, of course, was when the Pacers had taken a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference Semifinals after trouncing the Heat 94-75 in … [Read more...] about What the offseason might have in store for the Indiana Pacers
Indiana Pacers all out of sorts in wild Game 5
Wow, where to start with Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinal series between the Indiana Pacers and the Miami Heat? The lackluster play from the get-go for the Pacers? The three flagrant fouls called? The injuries to Danny Granger and David West? Team president Larry Bird calling out his players for going soft?

In their place is new general manager Ryan Grigson, formerly a member of the Philadelphia Eagles' front office. Oh, and former coach Jim Caldwell also is out of town. The new guy?

Indianapolis Colts Get Banged Up, Fall to 0-4
This one hurt. In more ways than one. Not only did the Indianapolis Colts fall to 0-4 with their 24-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium, the team also incurred injuries to several difference-making players -- one such injury among the ugliest the sport has seen. The Colts were competitive, but they still have a long way to go in terms of closing … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts Get Banged Up, Fall to 0-4
Hey Colts, What’s Pestering Peyton Manning?
The Indianapolis Colts' 38-35 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys at Lucas Oil Stadium only brightened the spotlight on the struggles of quarterback Peyton Manning. The only four-time MVP in NFL history threw four interceptions for the second straight week, and (like the week before in a 36-14 home loss to San Diego) two of his picks were returned for touchdowns. And dating … [Read more...] about Hey Colts, What’s Pestering Peyton Manning?
