My real name is Matt, I'm in my early twenty's and currently living in Melbourne, Australia. I'm a huge sports fan and love to play and follow AFL (Aussie Rules - best sport in the world), cricket, athletics, and of course NFL. I've been a Colts fan for about 6 years now and my passion for the sport and the Colts continues to grow each year. That pretty much sums me up. GO COLTS!!!

A great story that highlights the class of Jim Irsay and the Colts organisation as a whole. Well worth a watch.

Post from a Colts Fan

 Dashon Goldson (quote via Mercury News): 

A lot of quarterbacks try to fool you. They'll use their hard count and try to get you to show your hand, show your blitz, but when you've been in the game for a while, you can tell when a bluff is called.

I can't wait to see how he translates Manning's gaelic (tip to Colts blogger Indy Lori who originally found the vid):

 

In all seriousness it should be a good matchup and I am very much looking forward to the game. I'll also take this opportunity to back up coltsfan723's comments and thank you guys for the way you have "cross-blogged" with us. Goodluck, Go Colts!

We're holding the ball, we're unprotected, just sitting there defenceless. So they've got to stay away from me. They deserve to get flagged.

Colts need more SB Titles

Came across a very well written article by Matt Snyder from NFL Fanhouse which looked at the performance of the Colts during the Manning era. As the title of the article suggests, Synder states that in order for the Colts, and Manning, to be immortalized as a truly great team and quarterback, they need to win at least one more title. I tend to agree with him.

I've got that snarl. I've got that mean streak, that tenacity like I know I can. The sky's the limit.

We released Ed Johnson. I know some might wonder whether or not it was a character issue. It was not. We had to take a real good look at our roster and see where we may be able to make an adjustment here or there to get another guy on it. Ed was more production than anything else.

When you watch the tape, you find out that he really did a very credible job. Over the course of a 60-play game, Tony Ugoh played pretty darned well. If you said to me, 'Is Tony Ugoh as good a player as D'Brickashaw Ferguson?' I'd probably say, 'Yes.' Is he as good a player as maybe some people who have higher profiles in the media? The answer is probably yes. To Tony's credit, when he had to step in and play Sunday night, he played pretty darned well.
