Hey, it's Saturday so that means Eyes in the Backfield is ready. Did you like how I just tacitly admitted that Eyes comes out on Saturday now? We didn't really plan it that way, but it always happens that we are a day late on it, so why not just admit it. Eyes is a Saturday feature. My favorite ...

The 18 Plays podcast is not dead...but it is in a coma. We sat down to record it on Wednesday night, and were depressed to discover that the slow internet connection I have here has made it impossible. It's really too bad, because this would have been a seriously fun game to talk about. There's ...

Packer fans have to be in shock. Just a few months ago, they had a home game in overtime with a Super Bowl on the line. Then their Hall of Fame QB retired, unretired, and was subsequently traded for a future conditional draft pick. Now five games into the season, the backup has developed a sore ...

Great work by Phil B today. Be sure and check out his look at Sunday's game tape, and then move on his article on the noticeable decrease in holding calls. This is the kind of work that might eventually lead to comment from the NFL. It's going to take enough people noticing it and asking to put ...

The Bill Polian show yielded some interesting tidbits last night. I've become deeply worried about the status of Tony Ugoh. He was healthy on Sunday, but the coaches decided to go with Charlie Johnson. Now, I admit that I have yet to see the tape, and have no idea how CJ played on Sunday. I ...

1.) I haven't listened to sports talk radio for the last month. I got back on the horse today. During my absence radio has apparently timewarped back to 2002. Callers on 1260 were openly bashing Bill Polian for not using high draft picks on defense. Really? Are we really back to those days? ...

Review of Indy's amazing comeback win over Houston.
Texans 27 Colts 24 This team isn't very good. They aren't good on offense or defense. They aren't going to playoffs this year. If this was fixable, you'd have seen it fixed today. (PLEASE TELL ME I CAN DO A "DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES POST")

Hey everybody. Huge game, again. Let's win this one. First Quarter 1.) Peyton and company will start at the 27. Play action to Clark to midfield. Threw it just over a leaping linebacker. Joe falls forward for a gain of four. Big third down and Peyton gets knocked over as the completion to ...

Here's this week's entry of Eyes in the Backfield . It contains my two favorite stats for people who are freaking out over the 08 Colts (highlighted in red)... So things haven't exactly gone according to plan, but with the bulk of the season still in front of them, the Colts look to rebound ...

Believe it or not, it's hard for me to write this post today. I agonized over it for some time. Finally, my friend Andy sent me this article by George Will , and it has forced me to comment publicly. It argues, among other things, that rooting for a losing team causes the fan to enhance his ...

Here lies a fallen god. His fall was not a small one. Yes, it is with a heavy heart that I bring you all the MMTTB report today. Just a few weeks ago, we were all basking in the collective glow that emanated from the countenance of everyone's favorite front office combo. Their combined ...

Vince Young is back. The man who has held back the Titans for a couple of years now, came back to practice today, and Colts fans did a jig. The Titans rarely beat themselves, but now that Young is potentially in the mix, the potential for the Nashvillians to self-implode runs high. By all ...

No, this post has nothing to do with our buddies up in chowder-land. Today, I hope to give you all a bit of a look into what's it's like to be a huge sports fan, but live outside the good ol' USA. I've mentioned from time to time some of the things that I do to stay connected to the world of ...

One of the chief reasons for optimism for Colts fans is that it's pretty difficult to figure out who in the AFC is actually any good. Yesterday was a prime example. Buffalo and Tennessee both won moving to 4-0. We all know enough to take the Titans sort of seriously, although you have to wonder ...

Good bye, Paul. The screen, the salad, and the track will miss you. Thanks for 83 years of being awesome.

It's been a great time for me 'to get away' and clear my head of football. Though I grant you that not blogging much this week has been a bit of a shock to my system, the events of real life have made that necessary. And so now, I come back reenergized and ready to state my presuppositions ...

As I prepare to board a flight for DC (and then on to Buenos Aires) with my wife, two kids, and everything I own, I was stunned to see a large bearded figure standing at the service counter for United. There, preparing to board my flight was the unmistakable Jeff Saturday. As I passed him on my ...
