Go back to Grigson. All he did was put winning seasons together.

[Derek Larger @derek_larger]

Dodds has been second in command for this team ever since Ballard has taken over. He might do things slightly different, if at all, and that's not real change. This team would need a new GM, not connected to the current one!

[Dave Richter @Dave6037]

Irsays have no vision, no long term plan, no spine. However, they are really good at cashing the nfl checks, which are gigantic.

[Faux Peyton Manning @FeuxManning]

Is there any possibility the Colts get embarrassed enough Sunday night the girls actually cut Ballard and Stiechan and try and salvage the season? 10%?

[Dave Richter @Dave6037]

60 - 3

It is wrong to legislate against any legal & legitimate industry just because you don’t like it. Wrong!

[Josh Hawley @HawleyMO]

Big Tech companies are getting major tax breaks to build data centers communities don’t want.

We must close the loophole immediately

I’m introducing the No Tax Breaks for Data Centers Act to ensure Big Tech companies don’t get tax breaks to build data centers on farmland

The predecessor of this is the alarm clock that had number plates that flopped over every minute.

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

If you grew up in the 70s, 80s, or 90s, there’s a good chance this little monster sat right beside your bed.

That glowing red clock, that awful buzzer, and somehow you could hear it from three rooms away.

No apps. No smart speaker. No gentle wake-up sounds.

Just pure panic at 6:00 AM.

And somehow… we survived.

[Dave Richter @Dave6037]

That would be wonderful if the middle of the field were not wide open.

[Noah Compton @nerlens_]

#Colts CB Sauce Gardner was thrown at just twice all game. His 6.5% target rate is five points below the league average (11.7%) among the same group of defenders.

I think it’s safe to say Gardner remains a bonafide CB1. He essentially erases one side of the field.

[Dave Richter @Dave6037]

At the time the trade was made I am sure that’s what they were thinking.

[Faux Peyton Manning @FeuxManning]

The narrative is getting so lost in the Sauce Gardner trade. He obviously is a top 5 CB.

The real narrative is that you don’t give 2 1st round picks unless you are 1 player away from real Super Bowl contention.

[Dave Richter @Dave6037]

@AndrewKolvet Seems like if you steal,
You should be going to jail?
Wow - there just doesn’t seem to be one standard for everybody!

[Dave Richter @Dave6037]

Pretty brave position to take.

[Lawrence Owen @Colts_Law]

Week 1 is always a crapshoot. I've said this for years, and did before the game. Too many unknowns that need tweaking. Weeks 2 & 3 always look more like what you'll see the rest of the season.
#Colts are much better than what we saw week 1.

[Dave Richter @Dave6037]

@JoelAErickson Corners are pretty good. Middle of defensive backfield is awful. Big problem.
Terrible linebackers make matters worse!

[Dave Richter @Dave6037]

Yikes - I am both!

[Brandon Alexander @BrandonAlex1996]

There is no more miserable existence than being a Purdue/Colts football fan

[Dave Richter @Dave6037]

That was not the time to get conservative and hope for halftime.

[Jake Query @jakequery]

I know it’s your own territory, but when you have a 4th & 1 in the final minute of a half that has turned into a road game in your own stadium-
If you don’t trust your $42M RB/G combo to get 3 feet, you deserve to surrender 3 points at the halftime horn

[Dave Richter @Dave6037]

@Colts_Coverage @KennyKennyMoe3 He’s still available!

[Dave Richter @Dave6037]

At first I thought he backed in to the pga tour with n his brother’s coattails. I was wrong, like most people, he just needed a break and a heart to succeed! Well done Alex.

[Golf Digest @GolfDigest]

What a year for Alex Fitzpatrick. 👏

[Dave Richter @Dave6037]

A pilot program is not a commitment. President Trump has made a commitment. Now if you guys would pass the save act, then it could be codified into law.
Nothing of substance will get passed with the current congress.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

This is great, but it should be a law, not just an executive order. My PRIME Act has dozens of bipartisan sponsors in the House & Senate. A pilot program for it is in the House farm bill. Pass the PRIME Act so consumers can get affordable U.S. beef and farmers can flourish! 🇺🇸🥩

@ReggieWayne_17 @KeenanAllenMuse @Keenan13Allen Boom!

[Dave Richter @Dave6037]

@SleeperColts Spencer Shrader - because it was his job until he was injured. In the old NFL that’s how it always worked!

[Dave Richter @Dave6037]

It used to be that when injured in the nfl, your position was still yours when you return. Character matters.

[Mike Chappell @mchappell51]

Colts ST coordinator Brian Mason is going to have a tough decision.
*Spencer Shrader 32/46 (69.6 pct) in camp; 4/4 in 2 preseason games.
*Blake Grupe 41/45 (91.1 pct) in camp, 0/2 in 2 preseason games.
My gut tells me they're keeping Shrader.

[Dave Richter @Dave6037]

I certainly hope they distributed most of that money to the students who lost out during this protest!

[Larry Dean @larry_mcwethy]

THEY WALKED AWAY FROM THE GAME. THE STATE BANNED THEM FOR IT. NOW THEY'VE WON.

In February 2023, the girls' basketball team at Mid Vermont Christian School faced a choice no team should have to make. Rather than compete against an opposing player who was born male, they chose to forfeit their playoff game, standing on their belief that God created male and female with real, physical differences. It cost them the season.

The Vermont Principals' Association responded by banning the entire school, not just from basketball, but from every sport and even academic competitions like spelling bees and math meets, for two straight years. Students were forced to travel out of state just to compete. The school fought back, and in 2025, a federal appeals court ruled Vermont's punishment was not neutral; it was hostile to the school's faith. This spring, the state agreed to pay $566,000 in damages and legal fees.

This was never really about one basketball game. It was about whether a Christian school can hold to its convictions without the government punishing it into submission. Mid Vermont Christian didn't back down, and in the end, they didn't just win their case; they won the right to stand on faith without fear.

Do you think the school made the right call to forfeit?

[Dave Richter @Dave6037]

But they got significantly smaller. That can be a problem.

[Destin Adams @TheDestinAdams]

The Colts went young at LB with the goal of being faster and boy do they look faster so far today
