Given the Colts and Broncos are both in the playoffs and both got double digit wins this season, will anyone go out on a limb and for surely that Irsay and the Colts made the right decision? Here is why you cannot, at this point. A lot can happen this weekend and throughout the remainder of the playoffs. The fact is that the Colts did exceed expectations and get in this year’s postseason. The uncertain thing is how far they will go. Almost nobody...
It’s the middle of July here in Colorado and I am wondering what kind of sports news there is to write about. My knowledge of sports does not extend far beyond that of the 4 major American, and a little Canadian, professional sporting leagues. I certainly don’t want to write about the Rockies because this has been their most abysmal season in the history of the franchise, and the other major sports are pretty much in hibernation at this time. However, there is one...
Maybe Peyton Manning will remain an Indianapolis Colt after all. According to multiple reports today, the relationship between the Colts’ injured star quarterback and owner Jim Irsay is better than the media has portrayed in recent months. In fact, Irsay says the two have a “lifelong relationship” and that they’ve even been talking about non-football related topics of late. “We’ve talked a lot this month, probably more than most Februarys, and it’s probably not what most people think we talk about,” Irsay told WRTV.com....
Get out your brooms in Indianapolis; it’s time to clean house. The Colts’ decaying season is rapidly becoming farcical. Perhaps their best chance to steal a game this season came (and went) this past Sunday against the offensively-inept Jacksonville Jaguars. Instead of buckling up and pushing the Jags, they squandered a decent defensive performance and floundered on offense. Not having Peyton Manning under center isn’t the Colts’ only problem. Their defensive front is undersized and their secondary is woefully bereft of talent. Because their payroll is...
Peyton Manning’s currently (and slowly, might we add) recovering from neck surgery. Multiple neck surgeries (Manning has had two) are pretty debilitating especially when you’re an NFL quarterback behind a shoddy offensive line. Well, with that injury, Manning’s career is in doubt. Dude’s already 36, and fans are already pining over Stanford QB Andrew Luck. Except, of course, Phil Simms, who said that Luck didn’t have an NFL arm. Manning was asked about it, and then proceeded to spurn Phil Simms like we all...
