The Colts team and Indianapolis community rallied behind Pagano, starting the CHUCKSTRONG campaign to support the coach’s recovery. On the field, the team shocked the football world by going 11...
T.Y. Hilton and Dwayne Allen Look Like Steals After Year One with Indianapolis Colts
As great as the 2012 season was, it wouldn't have been possible without the fantastic draft Ryan Grigson pulled off last April.
Obviouisly, a huge portion of that credit goes to Andrew Luck, who carried the team to 11 wins, despite ending up in the red in the season's point differential, yards differential, turnover differential, and just about every other metric...
Projecting the Indianapolis Colts' Roster
The Indianapolis Colts signed a lot of free agents and added 7 more rookies in the draft. Let's see how I think their roster will look now. Everything is not in order. OFFENSE (26 players) Quarterbacks Andrew Luck Matt Hasselbeck Chandler Harnish Running Backs Vick Ballard Donald Brown Kerwynn Williams Stanley Havili Wide Receivers Reggie Wayne TY Hilton Darrius...
Vick Ballard will be the "lead guy" in the Colts' backfield
When you think of the Colts' offense, a high-powered passing attack featuring quarterback Andrew Luck is probably what comes to mind, with the running game being an afterthought. However, you may be surprised to know that the Colts finished 14th in rushing attempts last season, and new offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton loves to use his running backs in a variety of ways.

NFL teams most likely to regress in 2013
Indianapolis Colts The Indianapolis Colts are a young, talented team, but we can't understate how much the Colts overachieved last season. What's more, the man that lead that overachieving bunch is now the head coach in Arizona. This season will be largely determined by the success, or struggles, of second year quarterback Andrew Luck. With success, the Colts can likely...

The 2013 NFL draft is now done and all 32 teams are looking at the players they’ve acquired and how to best utilize their new rookies.
While still being a very exciting draft with many surprises, it was unlike last year where we saw a number of quarterbacks who went on to have stellar seasons their rookie year and made an immediate impact. You only have to look at names such as...
Why The Indianapolis Colts Can Match Their 2012 Campaign
The Colts' 2012 campaign came as a surprise to everyone. With a rookie quarterback and new coaching staff, not many people had the Colts finishing over .500, let-alone make the playoffs. Once their head coach Chuck Pagano was diagnosed with cancer early in the season, people were even less optimisitic about their chances of being competitive. But there's something about...
2013 NFL Season Standings: Mapping The AFC
Going in to this year’s draft I felt more excited than I had been in a long time. I think the main reason as that there were no clear-cut superstars on offense that would be picked early.We didn’t have Andrew Luck and RGIII coming off the board with the top two picks.There wasn’t a single running back even taken in the first round. It was going to be a draft full of diamonds...

Crazy Colts Fan - Short but Harsh Words for Purdue QB Robert Marve off Colts Twitter Feed
This is one of those case where the picture really does say 1000 words--and none of them spoke to kindly of Purdue QB Robert Marve.
The exchange went down during the tail end of the draft on Saturday as the team prepared to draft Mr. Irrelevant, the final player taken in the...

2013 NFL Draft: Mock Draft Challenge v. 2.0
We are on the cusp of the 2013 NFL draft, likely the second biggest day in the season for NFL fans behind only the Super Bowl. It is a hyped, grandiose event that acts as the symbolic renewal, or turning of the wheel for each team. Think of it, if you will, as a sort of “out with the old and in with the new” kind of thing.
Of course, with every NFL draft comes a multitutde of...
Indianapolis could go several ways in NFL draft
The Indianapolis Colts are looking at everything and everyone in this year's NFL draft.
A year after taking Andrew Luck with the No. 1 overall pick, general manager Ryan Grigson heads into his second draft with a different perspective. He's no longer looking for a franchise quarterback. He's looking to plug a hole with the No. 24 overall pick Thursday night.

2013 NFL Draft Team Needs: Indianapolis Colts
1. Right Tackle: Though this position may not even be addressed, I think it is still their biggest need. Indy signed Gosder Cherilus to a big deal to be their right tackle, but he is honestly one of the worst tackles in the NFL. I consider him quality depth at best. The Colts will quickly find this out when Andrew Luck is constantly getting chased down from the right side.

Colts net more than $650,000 for cancer research
After coach Chuck Pagano's bout with leukemia last season, the Indianapolis Colts organization has devoted itself to raising money for cancer research and awareness.

Crazy Colts Fan - Is Andrew Luck Thrifty, Cheap, a Drug Dealer--or just a Dude With an Old Phone?
When you are young, single, a former No. 1 draft pick, and one of the hottest quarterbacks in the NFL it would make sense that you would want to be dialed in to the latest and greatest in social media-- not to mention just keeping up with family and friends-- with the top of the line...
Andrew Luck’s cell phone belongs in some kind of communications museum
From what I can glean from watching interviews, press conferences, and the like is that Colts QB Andrew Luck isn’t a flashy, in-your-face type of guy. He doesn’t do a zillion commercials like his predecessor Peyton Manning, he doesn’t wed and impregnate (so far as I know) world famous supermodels like Tom Brady, and he doesn’t rock the body ink like Colin Kaepernick.

Andrew Luck wants to improve
The Indianapolis Colts threw their rookie quarterback Andrew Luck directly into the fire after he was drafted number one overall in 2012.

Colts QB Andrew Luck has a cell phone that makes yours look like gold
When Andrew Luck signed his rookie contract after being selected first overall by the Colts in the 2012 NFL Draft, he had the world at his fingertips. Last July, Luck inked a $22.1 million deal that included a guaranteed $14.5 million signing bonus and a $400,000 salary for the 2012 season.
The world and a 2006 Samsung cell phone at his fingertips. That’s right. Despite the...

Andrew Luck Signed for $22 Million But Still Uses a Flip Phone (Photo)
Andrew Luck was born in 1989 and, by the looks of it, so was his cell phone.
Luck was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft and signed a four-year, $22 million contract before even stepping on an NFL field for the first time. But he hasn’t spent any of that money on a fancy smartphone.
Colts backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck tweeted out a photo of Luck’s cell phone on...
