Walking

Posted on February 28th, 2010 by Richard. Categories: Community Feature, Sports & Recreation.

The streets have been so icy for a while that eventually my normal routine of jogging was disrupted and instead I’ve just been walking occasionally, running a little when the ice is clear in spots. Sometimes instead I exercised and “ran” using the Wii Fit when it’s been really snowy…which is really fun and a more serious way of getting exercise than you’d think if you haven’t tried it. But today I had some time and

Colts Plan for Next Season

Posted on February 20th, 2010 by Richard. Categories: Just for Fun, Sports & Recreation.

No one will argue that in order to win the Superbowl, the whole team, and especially all your best players, have got to be healthy. And, having home field all through the playoffs can be a huge advantage. Seeing as how the strategy of resting and protecting the starters, even at the cost of giving away a chance at the perfect season, seemed appealing to those calling the shots this last season,

The Day After

Yeah, it wasn’t the conclusion to the season that we wanted…and I know there is a lot of  disappointment about the outcome of the game. But I checked myself, and sure enough, the sun DID come up again this morning, just like it has done for millions of years. The Earth is still rotating on it’s axis and orbiting the Sun, and all the REAL important things are OK. It would have

We’ll See

So the Superbowl is today and everyone has their angle figured by now. They are rooting for the Saints because of this… Or they are for the Colts because of that. Of course some are even making predictions about the outcome…and even point spreads! Yeah, Uh Huh. Like they can actually see into the future? Some people have been die-hard Colts or Saints fans for years and there is no question about who they are

Shoe Dat

The Saints fans have their “Who Dat?” thing going in New Orleans. That’s cool I guess. Whatever gets them going. But I’ve asked around and Googled my fingers off trying to figure it out. Does anybody really understand what that means? I’d like to know. Regardless…the obvious answer to the question ”Who Dat?” from an Indy perspective is…Blue Shoe, Dats Who.

One win away

Posted on January 24th, 2010 by Richard. Categories: Community Feature, Sports & Recreation.

Normally I’d refrain from two posts in a row that had a similar subject, but this is special circumstances. With the win today, the Colts are the AFC Champions and will be competing in the Superbowl in two weeks. That’s quite an accomplishment in itself for any team, but I know they won’t be satisfied with just going there. They want to bring home the Lombardi Trophy and NFL Championship banner.

There’s no way the little

Colt’s secret weapon revealed

Posted on January 23rd, 2010 by Richard. Categories: Just for Fun, Sports & Recreation.

To shore up the middle of the defensive line for the remainder of the Playoffs, the Colts announced a stunning three player trade this week that sent two Indy second-round draft players to Buffalo in exchange for their goliath Defensive Tackle, Otto Blimponski who astoundingly had gone unnoticed by almost everyone on their practice squad. Coach Jim Caldwell said, “Otto should help us in a big way to stop the run, allowing us then to put
