Past Number One Overall Picks In The NFL Draft The first overall picks in the NFL draft hold a prestigious position in football history. Schools like Notre Dame, USC, Oklahoma, and Georgia have produced 5 first overall picks each, Notable selections that you can expect to see on our list below are Joe Burrow from […]
I love the NFL Draft. I’m the guy that will sit there for three days injecting the event into my veins, and then the week after will consume all the “draft winners and losers” articles. And, in reality, the draft is the backbone of how you build your team. And for the Colts this coming […]
One of the items Indiana Fever GM Lin Dunn was asked about earlier this week is if her newly drafted superstar Caitlin Clark would have the “Peyton Maning effect” on not only her franchise but the WNBA as a whole. It was a good question and worth some sports radio fodder the past couple days. […]
As you fine people know your Indianapolis Colts hold the 15th overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. And to most of you picking in the middle of round one is the perfect example of where the Colts have been the past few years…not good enough to really win but also not terrible enough to […]
I said earlier today on The Wake Up Call that a growing pet peeve (despite understanding the content machine, website clicks etc) is the “Way Too Early Top 25’s” you see being posted as the college hoops has come to an end. Again, I understand the new for content but at this point in the […]

It was great having the legendary Rick Venturi on The Wake Up Call Thursday morning to discuss not only the 40th anniversary of the Colts moving to Indy but also to pick his brain on the upcoming NFL Draft. Venturi gave us 4 names and a “wildcard” name to watch of guys he hopes are […]
We’ve all been there…one of these tourney games gets underway and immediately you see you’re on the wrong side of the action. It’s what makes the tournament great but also maddening. In particular for this year, most brackets were busted because we saw so much “chalk” the first couple days. Sometimes it feels like we […]
Is Joe Flacco elite?! Ahhh remember those fun conversations in the 2010’s? How could anyone forget. Anyways, Wednesday marked the first surprise signing (and only the second signing outside the building) for General Manager Chris Ballard this offseason. I’ll be honest, I thought someone who was more “quarterback needy” would scoop Flacco up…such as the […]
Listen, let me start by saying that I have great respect for what Purdue and Matt Painter have accomplished this year and really the last several years. They’re a model of consistency and have a really good shot at making a magical Final 4 run. And, by the way, their program needs to feel that […]
