The Indianapolis Colts had a special visitor watching practice today at Anderson University: Andrew Luck's father, Oliver, was on hand to get a glimpse at his son's progress as an NFL quarterback. Of course, the Colts are quite used to having a quarterback's father around watching, having spent 14 years with Archie and Peyton Manning.
Oliver himself was a quarterback in the NFL with the Houston Oilers and is currently athletic director at West Virginia University. After practice, Oliver Luck joked with Pat McAfee, a West Virginia alum, about his donation to the university this year.
McAfee was in a different role today as the main place kicker. While not as precise as Adam Vinatieri has been (for which the cameramen on the lifts are thankful) he showed plenty strength in the "boomstick" including nailing a 50 yard field goal as practice ended.
Head coach Chuck Pagano elected to end practice about 15 minutes early today after the team had practiced on co...

There have probably been 2 fights in the last 7 training camps. There were 2 today. It's clear that this team is completely different from the old one.
It was a hot muggy day in Indianapolis, with temperatures reaching a high of 97 degrees farenheit. Nobody likes that, and you would have to think that the players were a little more edgy. They were.

Trade for Indianapolis: The Colts needed middle linebacker depth after losing AJ Edds to a torn ACL earlier this week, so they acquired Greg Lloyd and Moise Fukou from the Eagles. However, neither of these guys ever play and the Colts had to give up Kevin Thomas, which depletes their depth at cornerback even more. Thomas wasn’t very good last season, but he was a 2010 3rd round...
