Stephen Hill played college football at a school that doesn’t have much of a passing offense and it’s the belief here that he will be a steal for any team that drafts him in this year’s NFL draft. It’s true that Hill only had 28 receptions in his last year of college ball, but look [...]
Evidently, the NFL has heard rowdy fans loud and clear enough to determine that they don’t want to hear their rambunctious and obnoxious behavior anymore. It’s true that stadium drunks are annoying but really this new rule is going a bit too far. Part of the atmosphere at football games is tailgating and drinking. Are [...]
By Grant Painter March 13, 2012 The expected yet unexpected has happened: Peyton Manning is no longer an Indianapolis Colt. I was born in 1993, and did not really get into college or professional football until I was about eight or nine, and have only seen the Indianapolis Colts with one quarterback: Peyton Williams [...]

A Team like Duke, Syracuse, UNC or Kansas? Wrong. Last night, Syracuse, the number one team in college basketball, fell [...]
I know many good people who want to let bygones be bygones, and give Joe Paterno a free pass on the Jerry Sandusky affair. Indeed, he fulfilled his “legal” obligation back in 2002 when he notified superiors that one of his direct reports had witnessed a child being raped in Penn State’s Lasch Football Building. [...]
Back in the day, we had a great commish, his name was Bart Giamatti. Remember him? Now there was a man who knew how to run baseball. Not a bad writer either. His last real job before becoming the commissioner of baseball was President of Yale University. He passed away much too soon; Baseball misses [...]
With the big change in the Colt’s organizational structure this week, it would seem that anything is possible with regards to the team’s continued employment of Peyton Manning. The Colts will watch Manning’s recovery up until March 8, when they must decide whether to pay his $28 million option bonus, or cut ties with him. [...]
