That's terrible strategy by Levis, to have his mother publicly defend her son's sex life ...... awful strategy.


When I fucked my cousin Jeanine and word of it got out to the public, I simply told everybody that our incestuous relationship was nobody's business but the people in our inner cir ...... eh, never mind.

All young athletes should be aware of this

Good interview with Riley Leonard on Colts website/app. He’s a very like able down to earth guy, they asked who would be his number 1 pick (anyone ever form the Colts organization) to take on a golf outing, his #1 pick was Jim Irsay.

He also talked about the first time he had ever thrown to the #1s was against Jacksonville and he had 3 practices with the #1s the week he started vs the Texans. He said after the Texans game he felt like he belonged and he knew he could play in this league

Still rooting for him. I just don't think he is quite ready.

Pretty fucking wild seeing all the videos on X of Daniel Jones practicing. I saw a quick glimpse yesterday of guys catching passes...

But these vids today are him doing drop backs, play-action reps, deep balls, quick shuffle bag drills.

Less than 6 months removed. This new Achilles technique is crazy.

A guy that can do that is not going to miss a start over his Achilles tear.

[Mr. Session]

The marketing machine is in full gear, for sure.

I'll admit though, I did not expect to see him back this soon like that.

This is probably the one that stood out to me most...

it's one thing to have PLANNED mobility, but in a real game, he has to make split second manuevers and a tender achilles might have a problem with these unanticipated moves. I like what I'm seeing, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

This Colts Roster Hopeful Is Flying Under the Radar

(By Noah Compton)

https://www.si.com/nfl/colts/onsi/th...nder-the-radar



The Indianapolis Colts are entering the 2026 season with a new-look defense led by star-studded players at numerous spots.

Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo is entering his 2nd season as the Colts' leader of the defense, and his trio of cornerback Sauce Gardner, defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, and safety Cam Bynum presents a promising outlook from the top.

Other key contributors, such as defensive end Laiatu Latu, cornerback Charvarius Ward, and defensive tackle Grover Stewart fill out the Colts' defensive frame quite nicely, which gives the remaining five new starters a solid base to work with.

Moving down some rungs of the ladder, however, provides a sneak peek at the projected new-look depth and suggests the Colts are deeper on defense than they were a season ago, particularly at cornerback.


Positive Outlook


The early stages of the Colts' 2025 training camp showcased a new-look cornerback room that was deeper than in any of the previous 8 seasons under general manager Chris Ballard.

The Colts had finally found a true lockdown cornerback on the outside in Charvarius Ward after they signed him to a 3-year, $54 Million deal. Kenny Moore II was set to continue operating from the slot on the inside, whereas the starting boundary spot opposite Ward was up for grabs.

2025 3rd-round pick Justin Walley and cornerback Jaylon Jones were battling it out throughout training camp until injuries set them both back. Walley's torn ACL ended his rookie season before it could begin, while Jones's hamstring injury forced the team to place him on injured reserve after he reaggravated it in the Colts' season-opener.

Couple these early-season blows with the beginning of Ward's string of concussions, and it makes even more sense why the Colts sent a blockbuster haul to the New York Jets for superstar cornerback Sauce Gardner.

Given that the Colts are set to return each of the previously discussed players ...... outside of Kenny Moore II, who was released earlier this offseason ...... who were either injured in 2025 or were brought in to alleviate the issue caused by it, 2nd-year cornerback Johnathan Edwards is flying under the radar as a result.


Johnathan Edwards' Place in Rotation


Johnathan Edwards was a member of the Colts' 2025 UDFA class, and ended up making the team's initial 53-man roster after the aforementioned string of injuries to the cornerback room created an avenue for him to pounce on.

He had a strong training camp for an undrafted rookie and looked to belong in the NFL, but the reasoning for his active roster designation was more so viewed as a necessity rather than a preference.

Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo had garnered a reputation for prioritizing veteran experience over potential during his 6 seasons in Cincinnati, which only added a layer to the Colts rolling with Edwards, but the way that he used the UDFA rookie throughout the 2025-26 season said otherwise.
