Colts draft....Human Torch?

I've seen some crazy mock drafts, but this one takes the cake

Jaguars hope to have crappy special teams...

Dungy covering Super Bowl for NBC

It'll be interesting to see what he has to say, although anything has to be better than Matt Millen...

Simmons is back...and full of the usual BS

It's pretty much expected he's going to disparage the Colts, but to say they'll barely make the playoffs is taking things WAY too far!

Booger is in Pittsburgh

It looks like the D-line rotation has taken another hit.

I had hoped the Colts would still be able to bring him back at a lower salary, since it didn't appear anyone else was showing any interest in him. I would think that DL is definitely going to be a position that the Colts will invest a couple of draft picks in now.

Good luck in Pittsburgh (but not too good of luck!)

Colts safety in Pro Bowl...

...and it's not Bob Sanders.

Antoine Bethea is finally getting some recognition for his great play this year, and has been named as a replacement to the Pro Bowl team for Troy Polamalu.
That gives the Colts 6 Pro Bowl players, although the fact that Brackett didn't make it (and still hasn't been named as an injury replacement) is ridiculous.

Simeon Rice released

gocolts1 — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 19:59:20 -0000

The Indianapolis Star is reporting that Rice was released today.

It's not too surprising I guess, considering that when he did get into the games, he didn't make that big of an impact. Besides that, the rookies (Dawson and Pitcock) are playing every bit as good, if not better, on pass rush situations than Rice was.

Update [2007-11-27 16:33:52 by BigBlueShoe]: And, just like that, pretty much everything said by TheSportsGuru and other Broncos fans was correct: Simeon Rice is done. Simeon's release means one of two things:

He was so bad it induced projectile vomiting from Polian watching in the press booth, or
Dungy and Polian are very, very happy with the young guys (Dawson, Thomas, Brock, etc.) that having Rice was just a wasted roster space.

So, we can either feel really, really good about this move or really, really bad. Thx to gocolts1 for posting this in the diaries. FB Luke Lawton was re-signed to take Rice's place on the roster.

Colts 4 disc DVD set

gocolts1 — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 21:26:38 -0000

Just in time for the beginning of the football season, it looks like the DVD box set of the playoffs will be released on 9/4/07. It includes the 3 playoff games and the Super Bowl! This is going to be really cool!

Here's the website where you can preorder it. Hopefully it'll have video footage of the celebration in the Dome too!

Rhodes going to Buffalo?

gocolts1 — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 17:29:04 -0000

ESPN is reporting that the Bills have traded McGahee to the Ravens.

Since Ahman Green and Jamal Lewis, the other "big" name free agent running backs, have already signed with other teams, it would seem that the Bills would start making a hard push to land Dominic.

Colts resign Morris

gocolts1 — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 00:17:59 -0000

As great of a job as he did last year, I still hope that he can go back to being the top backup as well as special teams standout. Assuming we can get Cato resigned and draft a Will with our 1st round pick, things should be just fine.
