The latest NFL Draft shakeup came on Sunday when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers finally completed a long-rumored trade with the New York Jets for cornerback Darrelle Revis. The Bucs sent the 13th overall selection in Thursday’s first round, along with a conditional 2014 selection, to north Jersey for the former [...]
After more than 10 minutes, three (or four, I lost count) ridiculous lengthy officials’ conferences and a maddeningly extended review of video, here’s what the NBA taught us last night: When you hit a guy in the marbles, he gets one shot. Now, I’ve been covering this league a long [...]
In the Spring of 2011, when I was between jobs, the Colts asked Tom Rietmann (former Colts beat writer for the late Great Hoosier Daily) and I to help cover the team for their official website. We met with team officials at the West 56th Street complex and shook hands [...]

As the Colts continued their improbable journey, their biggest advantage, the intangible that enabled them to overcome, was their sense of purpose. Bruce Arians put it best upon Chuck Pagano’s return from his three-month battle with leukemia: give a professional athlete something to play for other than the paycheck and [...]
As Jim Irsay, Chuck Pagano and others danced something loosely resembling an Irish jig in the locker room afterward, the message could not have been clearer.
