With Edgerrin James making a return to Indianapolis this week as a member of the Seattle Seahawks, I thought it would be appropriate to look at the greatest running backs in the history of the Indianapolis Colts. Please note, this is only a look at running backs who played in Indianapolis. This is not a slight against the Baltimore Colt greats like Lydell Mitchell and Lenny Moore. It's just that ...

The Dime Package: It’s Colts Question Time

Posted: 29th September 2009 by Nick South in NFL
I really love the time between weeks three and four of the season. We've seen teams enough to start to get a feel for who may or may not have a good year. Still, there's a long season left and even an 0-3 start doesn't mean you should start booking your beach house in January just yet. For the Colts, we've seen a lot, yet you know there's still 13 ...

Cardinals Are the Perfect Matchup for the Colts

Posted: 26th September 2009 by Nick South in NFL
After the Colts' showcased a miserable display of run defense against the Dolphins on Monday, it shouldn't surprise anyone to see that the Cardinals are favored in the Sunday night matchup. Watching Miami have their way with the Colts' defense must have Cardinal fans salivating at the possibility of what Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald, and company can do. While the prospect of Warner and Peyton Manning battling it out will be great ...

Peyton Manning’s Heroics Save Colts Yet Again

Posted: 22nd September 2009 by Nick South in NFL
There are a lot of topics that could be discussed the day after Indianapolis' thrilling 27-23 win over the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football. I could talk about the Colts' defense or lack there of. I could talk about Miami's fifty-seven minutes of domination, only to end the game with a series of perplexing decisions. I could talk about how surreal it was to see Tiger Woods slap Manning on the back ...

Colts Face Golden Opportunity in Monday Night Game at Miami

Posted: 20th September 2009 by Nick South in NFL
Since realignment and the creation of the AFC South in 2002, only two teams have ever won the division: the Indianapolis Colts and the Tennessee Titans.  The Titans have won two division championships. Every other title has been claimed by the Colts. What's truly astonishing about the Colts' dominance in the division is this stat: only once, in 2002, have the Colts had a one-game lead in the division and failed to ...
I'm sitting down to my lunch break today when I get the news that former Philadelphia Eagle wide receiver Hank Baskett is soon to be a Colt. As usual, I immediately check the Colts' forum and already see that about 50 posts have been made discussing the latest Indianapolis signing. Lots of opinions are already coming out about the signing, some negative, but mostly it's been positive.  My thought? Whoop-dee-doo. Color me cynical, but ...

Colts Week One: a Little Case of History Repeating

Posted: 14th September 2009 by Nick South in NFL
There's a well known expression about the importance of history. Those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it. The Colts nearly lost their season opener to the Jacksonville Jaguars because they ignored history and allowed it to repeat. The bitter defeat to the San Diego Chargers in the playoffs last season boiled down to the Colts' inability to convert a third and short play because they couldn't run to get the first ...
