NFL DRAFT

What will the Cleveland Browns do with the 4th overall pick?

By

There is an advantage for a Browns fan being a pessimist.  You are either pleasantly surprised or you are right. (Guest post by Bill Smith) Things have been bad before.  Things were so bad in the early 90’s with Bill Belichick running the team that the club moved from Cleveland to Baltimore and did not give the coach the forwarding address. Since they have … [Read more...] about What will the Cleveland Browns do with the 4th overall pick?

Who do St. Louis Rams Draft at #2 Overall?

By

Everyone knows Andrew Luck is going first overall to the Indianapolis Colts. When his name is called on draft day it will be as big a surprise as the day former N'Sync member and pop star Lance Bass officially came out of the closet. The real draft begins at number two. And gets more interesting at number three and so on. What do the Rams do? With Sam Bradford, the 2010 … [Read more...] about Who do St. Louis Rams Draft at #2 Overall?

Eventful Two Days Lead to Clean House for Indianapolis Colts

By

Wow. Never mind suggesting what an emotionally draining season 2011 has been for the Indianapolis Colts. The last two days have been taxing enough. Entering Sunday's season finale at Jacksonville, the Colts were a once-proud franchise fallen from grace, a putrid roster bereft of its four-time MVP quarterback to mask its deficiencies and a trainwreck of an organization at … [Read more...] about Eventful Two Days Lead to Clean House for Indianapolis Colts

Indianapolis Colts Avoid Winless Season, Won’t Play Peyton Manning

By

The Indianapolis Colts won't go 0-16. We know that much. The Colts' 27-13 victory against division rival Tennessee on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium -- Indy's first win of the 2011 season -- prevented the franchise from going down in NFL history with the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the 2008 Detroit Lions, the only two teams to ever finish a season without a win. But beyond … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts Avoid Winless Season, Won’t Play Peyton Manning

Detroit Lions: What if They Pulled Off the Ronnie Brown Trade?

By

The Detroit Lions attempted to address a major situation recently when they tried to bring in running back Ronnie Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles. It made sense for the team because Jahvid Best has recently suffered from concussion issues. Brown also could benefit from a change of scenery from the most disappointing start in the league this season. He certainly hasn’t … [Read more...] about Detroit Lions: What if They Pulled Off the Ronnie Brown Trade?

Indianapolis Colts Feeling Effects of Peyton Manning’s Absence

By

So it's really going to be this way. The Indianapolis Colts really are struggling this mightily without Peyton Manning at quarterback, as evidenced in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Cleveland Browns in the team's home opener at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Colts, 0-2 for the first time since Manning's rookie season, lost 34-7 to Houston in Week 1, but the Texans had a much better … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts Feeling Effects of Peyton Manning’s Absence

Indiana Hoosiers Open Kevin Wilson Era with Loss

By

I'm not quite sure that was the way the Indiana University football team wanted to begin its new era. Playing their first game of the 2011 season and under new coach Kevin Wilson, the Hoosiers looked pretty much like, well, the Hoosiers -- the IU teams of the last three seasons under Bill Lynch and the IU teams throughout the program's history -- in a 27-20 loss to in-state … [Read more...] about Indiana Hoosiers Open Kevin Wilson Era with Loss

Indianapolis Colts Preseason Hot/Not — Week 1

By

As many of you might agree, the NFL preseason tends to drag along, so I've been sitting around brainstorming these past few days trying to come up with some interesting ways to hold us over until the games actually count. Guys are going to be coming and going in the 3 1/2 weeks leading up to the Indianapolis Colts' season opener in Houston, so it makes sense to gauge who's … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts Preseason Hot/Not — Week 1
