Indianapolis Colts Name Jeff Saturday Interim Head Coach

by

In a move that many did not see coming, the Indianapolis Colts have named Jeff Saturday the Interim Head Coach, per owner Jim Irsay.

If we had to guess, this conversation probably took place during the Ring of Honor ceremony for Tarik Glenn on October 30, 2022.

Wishful Thinking: Peyton Manning GM

File this under wishful thinking, but how about firing GM Chris Ballard and making Peyton Manning the General Manager of the Colts?

Adam Vinatieri Sets New Guinness World Record! (Video)

by

On February 3, 2017, in Houston for Super Bowl festivities, Adam Vinatieri set the Guinness World Record for field goals in a minute. The benchmark was 20. Adam nailed TWENTY-EIGHT (28)!

For one final time, Pat McAfee got to hold Adam’s balls. (His words, not ours.)

With the record, $15,000 was provided to the Pat Tillman Foundation.

Adam Vinatieri to Attempt new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title

by

Indianapolis Colts kicker and four-time Super Bowl champion Adam Vinatieri is headed to Houston to attempt to set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title at the NFL Extra Points Charity Kick on Friday, Feb. 3, at 4 p.m. CST at NFL Experience.

This is the sixth-annual NFL Extra Points Charity Kick, hosted by the official rewards credit card of the NFL – the NFL Extra Points Credit Card issued by Barclaycard. To set the new record,Vinatieri will need to kick at least 20 NFL footballs from 20 yards through a regulation NFL goalpost in 60 seconds. If successful, Barclaycard will award 1.5 million NFL Extra Points ($15,000) to the Pat Tillman Foundation, namesake of former NFL player Pat Tillman, who put his NFL career on hold to serve in the military following 9/11. The Pat Tillman Foundation invests in military veterans and their spouses through academic scholarships; the organization is directly tied to the NFL and its Salute to Service initiative.

Ryan Grigson FIRED, Pat McAfee & all of Naptown Rejoices

by

Today the Indianapolis Colts fired Ryan Grigson, and all of Indianapolis rejoices.

And Pat McAfee is more relieved than the Colts fans are.

And minces no words about it either.

Then Dan Dakich pops in.

And you know that gets Pat going.

And Robert Mathis sits back and enjoys the show.

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!

As funny as that is, this tweet probably takes the cake.

Every once in a while Twitter has some gems come through. So for probably the first time, I say, non sarcastically, THANKS, GRIGSON!

The Buzzline & comments are open. Let us know your thoughts.

Colts Lead the AFC South after Week 4

by

AFC-South-Week4-2015-10-05

With week 4 in the books for the AFC South, our Indianapolis Colts have clawed their way to the top with a 2-2 record (2-0 in the division). The Titans, Jaguars & Texans all sit at one win, with Tennessee in second place for the moment due to their bye week.

Andrew Luck was on the sidelines on Sunday with an injured shoulder, but the 40-year-old veteran Matt Hasselbeck stood in and delivered quite a performance in a lucky 16-13 overtime win at home against the Jaguars.

A quarter of the way into the season I had anticipated the Colts would be 4-0, maybe 3-1 a the worst. The games against the Titans and Jaguars should have been blowouts, not 2 and 3 point nail-biting affairs. The games against the Bills and Jets seemed like they could have gone either way, but with some boneheaded play calling (for example, it’s pouring down rain and we throw the ball close to 75% of the plays) and lackluster performance (5 interceptions and 4 fumbles (3 lost) in those two games), that just wasn’t in the cards.

With a short week, the Colts take on the Texans Thursday night, possibly without Luck in the lineup again. The outcome of this game should give us a decent idea of how the rest of the season will unfold in the division, but there’s still a lot of football to play before making any predictions.
