Colts Coaching Changes?

News out this morning is the Colts are in for another shake-up in their coaching staff. Offensive line coach Howard Mudd has informed the Colts he is planning to retire immediately because of the pension-plan changes, according to team and league sources. Mr Mudd has been with the Colts for 12 years, and is 67 years old. The reason for his possible stepping down is because of the changes made by the owners this past March concerning the pension program for non-players.

Payton Manning has been there 11 years and has known no other NFL offensive line except that one under Moore/Mudd team. Tom Moore, 70 also has been the Colts offensive coordinator for 12 years also. Moore was able to reached for any comments, as to his plans of either staying or retiring .

If all this takes place and with Colts under a new coach already, it should be interesting to see how if any this will effect the high-firing Colts offense.

Let the arrests begin!

NFL team mini -camps are here and active and apparently so are the idiots of the NFL who play the game. According to the report it seems like 2 of New Orleans Saints up-standing players? were arrested and jailed for exposing themselves and making lewd comments to 2 women.

Sure does makes me want to rush right out and buy their jerseys and get their autographs and maybe have my kids imitate them...

Other then that, I just don't get these players any more. Seems like the whole world has lost common sense and decency...

The Brett Favre Circus

As Bob Dylan sang in his song Desolation Row: ¶ They're selling postcards of the hanging, They're painting the passports brown,The beauty parlor is filled with sailors, The circus is in town

Got your popcorn, your cotton candy? Do you have a front row seat waiting in anticipation for the main clown to appear hoping to catch a balloon from him?

Yes, here he comes now, Mr. Brett Favre himself!

At the moment he is retired, or he did retired back in February, saying: "he is retired and that his career is over." I think or he thinks or we think, maybe nobody thinks. The Jets than said that they are taking Favre at his word that he is retired but, didn't release him thinking he might change his mind. Gee, I wonder where they got that idea from?

Then this past March, 5th we had the Packers saying they "still intend to offer legendary quarterback Brett Favre a marketing agreement, but want to wait until both sides can move beyond any hurt feelings." They then went on to say a week later that, "The Green Bay Packers will retire Brett Favre's No. 4 jersey at some point, and team president and CEO Mark Murphy envisions a day when Favre is once again part of the family." BUT, "probably won't happen this year. "

Then last week after trading up to get Mark Sanchez, the Jets let Favre go, with him saying: "At this time, I am retired and have no intention of returning to football." OK, we've been here before.

Now for the main ring feature.

After this the rumors started flying about how he said he "can't peacefully retire until he finds a way to get revenge on the Packers" & how he can't stand Green Bay, and that he wants to play Green Bay and say, 'I told you so.' On & on it go's... until we now have either him or Minnesota calling each other and talking or so they say or so we hear.

I will acknowledge that he played better last year with the Jets, than what I had expected, but he did tire and faltered at the end.

Brett Favre is angry at something. I think he's angry at himself and he's blaming Green Bay. He's angry at himself for being almost 40 years old and thinking he's still 20. He's angry that he hasn't had the chance for more Superbowl victories. He's just angry and bitter.

No one at the moment knows what will happen between now and August with Mr Favre. In my opinion he should make amends with Green Bay, drop his bitterness, live with the fact he's 40 years old and retire with the superstar status he still has, and not as a old clown or even worse with a life threatening injury.

But I don't see that happening, not this year.

Amish Cornerball anyone?

Seems like the Amish down Lancaster County way play a rough game called 'Cornerball' aka 'Eck balle'

City folks dodge ball on hay! Will ESPN or WWEs Vince McMahon pick up on this someday??

WFA - KICKOFF FOR THE CURE!

This Saturday, May 2nd at 4pm the Iowa Thunder have partnered with the Susan G. Komen Foundation, for the 1st Annual Susan G. Komen Kickoff for the Cure, in an effort to fight the deadly disease of Breast Cancer. The event will be followed by the Iowa Thunder's game against divisional rival the Kansas City Storm at 7:05pm where the Thunder look to become the first ever women's football team in Iowa to start a season 3-0.

For Thunder starting Wide Receiver Ashley Sumner,

this day and this event is a bitter sweet reminder. When Ashley was very young she lost her mother to a long battle with breast cancer. In addition to losing her mother, Ashley has also lost her Grandmother to breast cancer and this past year her father was diagnosed with cancer.

For those in Iowa go support this cause and enjoy some Spring Womens Football...

Draft time

NFL draft is not really anything I get into. All over the sports TV shows and radio shows there's special hours dedicated to the draft and on the Internet sites there is all this analysis and opinion, but I just don't see the reason for it.

These are young college players some who have had good college playing records and will for whatever reason might not play in the NFL for 2+ years due to adjusting to a higher level, or they don't want to play with this team but that team, maybe training the coaches might want to put them through or because them seek more money, etc.

So I don't follow the draft much, players come and go now days and it's really hard to say what a team will be like or do until the season starts and even then it still takes some a few more weeks to get their act together.

So just wanted to explained to anyone who comes here why you see little about the draft here...

Besides it's almost summer! Tiger is back and JD looks like he's trying to get his act together again over on the European Tour, I do wish him well and hope to see him back in the states maybe later this year...

Lance is cruising again and Mr. Manning looks like he had fun the other day at the Quail Hollow Pro-am. Jack LaLanne is still kicking at like 93 or something, and Dr Weil will be heading to his house on Cortes Island in BC, Canada soon, so go enjoy yourselfs and quit worrying about whether some 22 year old is going to sign for 45 million or just 38 million, Enjoy!
