ZUVER: It Can’t Be Time to Believe Again, Can It?

How are we supposed to feel?  It's a question that Indianapolis Colts fans have been left feeling after a number of games this year. Whether it was the tie in Houston or the ugly wins vs. Kansas City and Denver, this Colts season is confusing. Sunday's game vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars was no different.

'Cardiac Cardinals' strike again

That ‘Cardiac Cardinals’ moniker popped in and out of conversations from fans as they left Scheumann Stadium. It could be heard around the team facility as players and coaches filtered out as if emphasizing the idea that this team would hang around until the bitter end.

A dream come true

Joel Abney originally signed his young son up for flag football, but Christian Abney begged his dad to let him play tackle. He told his dad he was ready for the next level. After talking to coaches, he switched his son to tackle.

SCOTT: Brett Farve's career accolades do not outweigh his controversies

Favre's career should never outweigh his controversies. The privilege he has obtained for being a hall of fame quarterback has been developed into a crutch he's used to overlook his wrong doing.  Just because a player has a one in a lifetime career doesn't mean he or she has the right to commit devious acts with the intentions to hide from it and not acknowledge any wrongdoing.

“It was an awful start.” Five words described how head coach Mike Fleck felt about the opening holes for the Ball State men's golf team who opened up their first round at the bottom of the leaderboard at the Purdue Fall Invitational.  Regardless of the start, Ball State was able to turn some problems around.  “I was proud of them, how they played the rest of the day,” Fleck said. “We were probably in the top half of the team scoring-wise if you kind of scratch the start.”

Ball State's five-person roster consisted of first-year Sarah Gallagher, first-year Jasmine Driscoll, second-year Payton Bennett, first-year Madelin Boyd and graduate student Peyton Broce.  “One of the keys is always to try to minimize any doubles or worse off the card and you know, we still made a few too many of those,” head coach Cameron Andry said. “The golf course just kind of reveals where we are.” Monday - Round One

“I’m just proud of this football team,” head coach Mike Neu said. “We talk about being the best team and the best family and we have to have each other’s back no matter how it happens but the goal is to always win by one more point than our opponent and that is what we did today.”
