5 161 Marcus Howard- Georgia 6′1″ 237 DE

6 205 Pierre Garcon - Mount Union 6′0″ 210 WR
7 236 Jamey Richard- Buffalo 6′5″ 295 C

While I think that the Indianapolis Colts made decent picks overall, it does surprise me that their picks were so offensively weighted. But as tradition goes, the Colts tend to go after the best players still available…plus they’re still developing a handful of defensive draft picks from previous years that will probably see more playing time this year.  And they picked up 13 undrafted players as well, so maybe there are some gems in that bunch.

The offensive line needed attention and they clearly addressed that.

And there’s the need to beef up the scoring threats as well since the current crew is getting older and the fact that we lost Ben Utech. And dare I mention Kenton Keith being a complete knucklehead recently.

Bart Peterson Becomes a Patriots Fan?

Friday, January 18th, 2008

You lose the Indianapolis mayoral election in November, the Indianapolis Colts lose in their home playoff game, then you (temporarily) move to Boston and jump on the New England Patriots bandwagon. OK, maybe that’s a little “out there” on the later part, but I do find it odd that even a former Mayor of Indy can’t find a decent job in the area. I don’t even need to comment further on that as it truly speaks for itself. And frankly, I can’t blame him for jumping on the opportunity…or on the Boston Celtics bandwagon (the Indiana Pacers off-court actions of recent years are enough of a reason for anyone to disassociate with the city).

More Thoughts on NFL.com/Live

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

I decided to check out NFL.com/Live again tonight since I don’t have the NFL Network.  The stream seemed a little better than last week, but that’s probably because the game wasn’t such a “must see”.  Also, I did spot a “full screen” option, that like most online full screen videos is a bit blocky (I’ll save you the tech reasons as to why), but OK from across the room.

I do find the video feed a bit annoying with them going to people talking instead of showing the whole game.  And the whole mess of other things going on is a bit much.  I think I’d rather listen to the game on the radio instead and then catch the video highlights afterward.

I am still a bit irritated with the whole Comcast/NFL Network dispute that’s going on.  Please grow up and act like adults and come to some sort of reasonable agreement.  Right now you both just look childish with your finger pointing.

Indianapolis Colts Cut Simeon Rice

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Two weeks ago I was excited to see what Simeon Rice could bring to the Indianapolis Colts’ defense after Dwight Freeney was lost for the season, but that went nowhere fast and Rice was cut from the team today.  Not a huge deal I suppose, as our defense is doing pretty well for being so “bad” as the “experts” say.
