Stanford tight end Coby Fleener is reunited with Andrew Luck as the Indianapolis Colts selected the two former teammates with their first two picks in the NFL Draft.

Peyton Manning cut by Colts — I never thought I’d see this day
I became a fan of the Baltimore Colts when I was 6, because my older brother rooted for them. I then cheered for them through thick and thin — mostly the latter — for 20 years, listening to game after game on an old AM radio, well before the days of Sunday Ticket. My favorite [...]
Podcast: Steve Buckley joins us to talk about coming out and supportive athletes
Boston Herald sports columnist Steve Buckley, who came out publicly in January, joins us to talk about the athletes who embraced him after he came out, how long it will be before we have an out active pro athlete, and some insight into Colts fans and the 2011 Red Sox.

Should the Colts have gone for 19-0?

Morning hits: Lakers, Sharks, Colts & unicorns
Lakers nearly blow 22-point lead, eliminate Jazz. Nuggest pound Hornets by 58. San Jose Sharks one of the few No. 1 seeds to ever lose in the first round. Will next year’s NFL Draft start Thursday?? Another lesson in taxpayers building teams a stadium: Colts won’t be giving back any money to help the City [...]
VLOG: Superstitions in sports
Jim Buzinski, a longtime Colts fan, has more superstitions about his team than the New England Patriots have Super Bowl titles. Jim’s Peyton Manning doll, facing the floor and the wall of Jim’s house, has helped his beloved Colts to the Super Bowl, and he has two shirts that determine whether his team wins or [...]
