Richardson's Colts tenure could end up with games missed due to...

* Concussion
* Shoulder injury
* Oblique injury
* Tapping out
* Back injury
* An exercise band snapping in his eye
* Weed

The NFL has contacted the #Colts about QB Anthony Richardson Sr.’s marijuana incident and is reviewing it.

The league also confirmed that the incident “falls under the substance of abuse policy,” and could therefore warrant punishment from the NFL. https://t.co/burhc9U32c

[Collin @cmccollo]

Absolutely shocking this happened in Carmel!

[James Boyd @RomeovilleKid]

News broke this morning of #Colts QB Anthony Richardson Sr. being charged with marijuana possession. He is practicing today, as he has since being charged with a misdemeanor Monday.

Recreational marijuana use for adults is now legal in 24 states. Indiana is not one of them.

[Collin @cmccollo]

@TylerDBrooke I give some grace to the new guys. Training camp is one thing, but game pace of joining that offense is entirely different. Not like Oubre covered himself in glory either (or Zubac in 1H, to your observation).

But yeah, dude has to pick it up to be part of the rotation.

[Collin @cmccollo]

Injuries always complete the story of any NBA season, but as long as Zubac stays healthy, I feel really good about the Pacers.

[Collin @cmccollo]

@TylerDBrooke Yeah, I mean, the whole team basically took off the 2Q. Clearly still figuring each other out (especially Oubre). But they're so well-coached, I have no concerns about them putting it together. My only concerns are center depth and Walker.

[Collin @cmccollo]

It's hard to ever say you learn a lot about an NBA team in their first game. But I think we learned a lot about the Pacers tonight, and the vast majority of it was incredibly promising.

[Collin @cmccollo]

Some rough Larry Nance Jr minutes there. Early season kinks!

[Collin @cmccollo]

Pacers gonna be so much fun this season. Hali is so much further ahead than most of us imagined he would be.

[Collin @cmccollo]

I think one reality you have to accept in a rebuild is that you might make the wrong decision. Your next HC might be worse! Heck, your next GM might be worse! But you can't stay on the obviously wrong path.

[Zach Hicks (THE PAIN IS OVER) @ZachHicks2]

I don’t disagree with Stephen here, but I hope for his sake he goes back to being an OC for a bit.

I think there is still a good HC in there with him, but he probably needs some time away from it to self scout what went wrong in Indy for a bit

[Collin @cmccollo]

One of the albums of the decade. Been interesting to reconcile with its increasing relevance as things continue to...well...

[Paste Magazine @PasteMagazine]

DIY lifer Jeff Rosenstock looks back on the 10th anniversary of 'WORRY.' and talks eviction anxiety, Freddie Gray, the New York he left behind, and why the jury's still out on humanity.

[Collin @cmccollo]

Yeah, this is the best articulation I've heard. I don't love throwing the baby out with the bathwater on most things, but Zach is right: Colts should really minimize any further decisions the next GM inherits, instead setting them up to make their own decisions.

[Zach Hicks (THE PAIN IS OVER) @ZachHicks2]

I think the best path for the Colts is to shop anyone that won’t be under contract going into this offseason. Let the next GM figure out what they want to do with under contract players.

Unless some godfather offer comes in, but I wouldn’t expect that to happen

[Collin @cmccollo]

I don't think a lot of casual fans realize how good he is when he's not the only player on the offense the opposing defense needs to worry about. Imagine him in Cincy, Chicago or Dallas...

[Collin @cmccollo]

Not necessarily rooting for Colts to trade Jonathan Taylor, but 1) they should be open to trading anyone, 2) he probably doesn't fit the timeline of their next shot at a franchise QB and 3) as a football fan, it would be *really* fun to watch him play in a serious offense.

[Collin @cmccollo]

99.9% of you follow me for Colts takes, I guess. Which is cool.

Most of the time I just wanna tweet about Russell T Davies series though.

[Collin @cmccollo]

The ROI on Sauce Gardner has somehow been infinitely less than the ROI on Carson Wentz.

The only remaining franchise competition is Trent Richardson.

[Nathan Brown @By_NathanBrown]

Shane Steichen says that Sauce Gardner’s calf injury leaves him “week to week”, uncertain of his status for this week vs. the Vikings.

Alec Pierce, though he’s eligible to come off IR this week, will not practice this week as he continues to rehab his reinjured heel.

[Collin @cmccollo]

Both things true.

1. The Colts should be sellers.

2. The Colts shouldn't sell everyone. They still need players, and $ aren't an issue. If your plan is to have a rookie QB in '28 (sigh) and someone still fits the timeline to ease their entry to NFL, keep them imo.

[Zach Hicks (THE PAIN IS OVER) @ZachHicks2]

Colts are absolutely going to be selling at the deadline now. DeForest Buckner is almost certainly going to be moved. Probably Grover Stewart as well.

Do they move Quenton Nelson will be the big question. Would be nice having a HOF guard for the next QB and gotta pay someone

[Collin @cmccollo]

@SamMonsonNFL Exactly. Well played by a new-ish owner needing to demonstrate some consequential stewardship here imo

[Collin @cmccollo]

This is actually a very well-crafted message. Respect.

It was always going provide a short-term dopamine hit, but the emphasis on not delaying the next chapter while keeping pressure on Steichen is pretty smart.

[Indianapolis Colts @Colts]

We have relieved Chris Ballard of his duties as General Manager.

[Collin @cmccollo]

One prevailing thought about Ballard era is how often fans have had legitimate concerns (particularly at receiver, EDGE and QB) be arrogantly dismissed by leadership.

We're not that far from the Polian era. Fans still know what greatness looks like.

[Collin @cmccollo]

@ForTheCOLTure_J @VeveJones007 That makes a ton of sense. I think you have to try to move Ward and Sauce, in that order, although I don't know what the market looks like for either. I don't think you move Sauce for, like, a fourth.

[Collin @cmccollo]

Seeing debate about who Colts pay going forward. It's secondary to who makes that decision, but you gotta pay some guys to be guys. The $20M in space this year clearly isn't doing any work. I pay any decent player who won't cost premium draft capital to replace at similar level.
