Evaluating Anthony Richardson’s Preseason: What does AR’s future look like in Indy in 2026?
Anthony Richardson’s tenure with the Colts has been nothing but mundane. A rollercoaster that produced some jaw dropping highs, but also some really embarrassing and painful lows.

The Indianapolis Colts are winless in this years’ preseason, finishing 0-2-1, as they fell 25-16 at home to the Detroit Lions.

Colts looked rough in their second preseason game
Sometimes, a little bit of time and distance can make things that initially seemed terrible seem less so. Time heals all wounds, right? Yes, it’s just the preseason. No, it doesn’t count for anything. Yes, the Lions went 4-0 in the preseason before their 0-16 season. All of that is true. It is also true […]

Colts look in preseason form.
There is not much sugar coating the Atlanta game, but it is not as bad when you are not expecting mid-season form. I saw a couple of things that can’t make their way to regular season, but I saw a lot of searching for answers as well. From most reports, we used mostly second stringers […]
Spencer Shrader or Blake Grupe?
I’ve played golf religiously my whole life and when things are tough, I try to always bring it back to something I know and that’s usually golf. The Spencer Shrader vs Blake Grupe battle is very close and is essentially a coinflip to decide who will win the battle. But to me, there’s one thing […]
