INDIANAPOLIS – It’s a part of the game that unquestionably cost the Colts multiple games last season. Hence, time for a head-to-head battle to decide who will be the Colts kicker in 2020.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Pacers gave Nate McMillan a second straight bubble victory for his 56th birthday. A big second half from T.J. Warren kept the Pacers in control of the worst team in the bubble, as Indiana beat the Wizards, 111-100 on Monday evening. With the win, Indiana remains in the No. 5 spot of […]
INDIANAPOLIS – For a second time in 2020, the Colts’ most important player thought about not playing football. But, thankfully for the Colts (and that’s putting it lightly), Anthony Castonzo is still going to suit up this season.

INDIANAPOLIS – Normally, they’d be on the practice field right now. The first full-padded practice would be coming in just a couple of days. The first preseason game would be two weeks away. Some joint practices with opposing teams would probably be in store, as well. But, as we know, 2020 is not normal. Training […]
INDIANAPOLIS – On his mind is one area he’s totally rebuilt and a position Colts fans haven’t worried about in years.

INDIANAPOLIS – “It’s going to be a very interesting year, without question.” No better quote sums up the year 2020.
