Did you know NFL teams can create cap space "out of thin air?" By buying an insurance premium on a player contract, clubs can essentially "buy cap space." All about a loophole - that sources said the league office is scrutinizing: espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

Oh my this story on Colts QB Anthony Richardson. I thought I was going to write that his game defies statistical interpretation, but after showing him a picture drawn by a 5-year-old fan, I write something else: How neither numbers nor words do him justice indystar.com/story/sports/c…

“Are you Jim's son?” Jackson Sorgi, son of former Colts' QB, hears that a lot. The Tri-West sophomore getting a chance early this season at quarterback for the Bruins. bit.ly/3ZuhLwI

Quenton Nelson on this play: “You have to use your hands or you’re going to get flagged. No more blindside blocks with your shoulder.” Nelson said he knew the rule changed a few years back on this.

Matt Gay says he feels pretty good to go, but he’ll leave it up to trainers. Suggests that the quad is something that came as a result of the hernia surgery

#Bears safety Jaquan Brisker was wowed by #Colts QB Anthony Richardson throwing the ball 65.3 yards in the air off the wrong foot in Week 1. He dares him to do it again. “I want him to throw it deep this week,” he said. chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2024/09/…

Matt Gay said he believes tightness in his quad that was listed on Wednesday's injury report is a byproduct of overcompensating for the hernia. Gay also believes he needs to alter his target line a bit to stop pulling kicks to the left. indystar.com/story/sports/n…

I talked to Taven Bryan to figure out why he’s playing nose tackle at this stage of his career. He doesn’t know either. “It’s not going to look that great.” The Colts are off to the worst start for a run defense since 1978. So why are they doing this? indystar.com/story/sports/n…

Why didn’t Jonathan Taylor play an entire 4th quarter while averaging 8.6 yards per carry? The answer is pass pro. It’s not Taylor’s game. It is Trey Sermon’s. “If you can't protect the quarterback,” Sermon said, “you're not going to be able to play.” indystar.com/story/sports/n…
