[Tradutor] More at Los Angeles Times: “Tony Dungy reportedly will announce today that he is stepping down as coach of the Indianapolis Colts. The team has called a news conference for 2 p.m. PST. Various media outlets, citing unnamed sources familiar with the situation, say Dungy is ready to call it quits after nearly three decades of NFL and college coaching.

[Tradutor] NFL Game Center: Game Recap – Cincinnati Bengals at Indianapolis Colts – 2008 14: “INDIANAPOLIS — Colts cornerback Kelvin Hayden had a perfect read on the Cincinnati Bengals. Peyton Manning apparently was doing his homework, too. Manning threw for three scores Sunday and Hayden returned an interception for a touchdown, leading the Colts to their most lopsided win of the season, 35-3.” ...
[Tradutor] Considering the injuries, it’s amazing the Colts have done so well. Indianapolis without five starters against RaidersAssociated Press INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts will sit five starters for Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders, with injuries to defensive end Robert Mathis leaving the team without any of the first-string defensive linemen it had to start training camp. The Colts decided Saturday that Mathis and safety Antoine Bethea would not play against the Raiders, Indianapolis spokesman...
[Tradutor] Nick Harper Leaves Champs for Titans See my comments belowBy Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Nick Harper is going from the Super Bowl champion Colts to a division rival, the Tennessee Titans. The free-agent cornerback agreed to a three-year deal with the Titans on Tuesday, agent Ian Greengross said. “Nick was impressed with what he saw when the Colts played the Titans,” Greengross said. “They played the Colts close the first time and beat the Colts the second time. He likes where they are heading.” The...
[Tradutor] Dwight Freeney Is Colts Franchise Player for 2007 – Indy Star – Mike Chappell As expected, the Colts have made certain defensive end Dwight Freeney’s career will continue in Indianapolis. The team has affixed the exclusive “franchise’’ designation to their career sack leader. That assures Freeney a one-year contract in 2007 of at least $8.644 million, and eliminates the possibility of him testing his value of the NFL’s veteran free-agent market in March. Team president Bill Polian says he will now...
[Tradutor] About a week ago, San Diego Chargers running back LaDanian Tomlinson was seen stating that the Patriots were less than a class organization and suggesting that their character — making fun of the Chargers’ Sean Marriman’s dance after the Patriots won — came from their head coach Bill Belichick. Now, here’s video evidence that he may have a point. While Coach Belichick was gracious in his congratulations of Colts Head Coach Tony Dungy, he totally and openly snubbed Peyton Manning and it’s...
[Tradutor] Sports Illustrated’s Andrew Perloff calls the 2007 AFC Championship Game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots, was one of the greatest in history. I have to agree. In this article below, he asks for a nickname for the game. That’s hard because unlike “The Drive” — Denver v. Cleveland — or “The Catch” — SF v. Dallas in 1981 — there were so many moments and plays it’s hard to pick just one defining moment. In the sprit of “The...

[Tradutor] THE MAGIC TURNAROUND – INDY STAR, January 21, 2007 After struggling in the beginning of the game as his team fell behind 21-3, Peyton Manning found his rhythm at the end of the first half and led the Colts to scores on six of their final eight drives (not counting the final kneel-down). The shortest of the six drives was 59 yards, and four of them ended in touchdowns. Here’s a look:Colts’ final eight drivesStart at Indy 12: 15 plays, 80 yards, 2:59 elapsed, field goal.

[Tradutor] My good friend Mike Silver over at Sports Illustrated has observed that the New England Patriots focus and preparation is better than most teams. That the New England Patriots are a well-coached team and that they do this is is true but not well defined and doesn’t adress why they lost to the Indianapolis Colts in one of the best games in NFL History. But few have deconstructed their game planning pattern and apparent philosphy which in my view led to their loss. I did that while watching the AFC Championship Game...
