Inside Indiana Sports Breakfast with Kent Sterling

Colts need Michael Pittman Jr. to pay off optimism about Sunday's game versus the Chiefs.  Right now, Pittman is Matt Ryan's only reliable target.  Shaq Leonard's return would hurt either.  Those are only two of the eight reasons to believe the Colts can beat the Chiefs.  

Undefeated Hoosiers at +560 to win at Cincinnati!  

Pacers Golf Outing is today, which means the preseason opener is two weeks is two weeks away!

Chris Ballard shops for the groceries, and Frank Reich cooks them.  Which of them is responsible for a truly pathetic pair of meals?  

It could be both - it could be neither.  I give you all the evidence you need to make an informed call!  My verdict is both are apparently incapable of building a champion!  

Bucs signed Cole Beasley because, in part, Julio Jones in hurt - again.  Does Ballard get credit for not signing Jones - or blame for not signing Beasley?

Frank Reich still the coach - and still sticking to his inoffensive script.  

There is good news for the Colts though - and bad news for the Chiefs, which is also good news for the Colts!  Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce likely to return, and we'll see about Shaq Leonard!    

Beer sales approved for IU Basketball games, and I'm not a fan!  

Undefeated Hoosiers +17 1/2 at Cincy!

Colts are a seemingly inextinguishable tire fire through two weeks.  Every Colts fan wants Frank Reich fired, but would that make anything better?  What Reich needs to do if he is serious about keeping his job is stop firing kickers, and hold responsible those who are failing to do their jobs.  

The Offensive line needs to be adjusted immediately.  

Colts pass rush was invisible yesterday.  

Chris Ballard builds from the inside out, and that is how the Colts have opened 0-1-1 against two of the NFL's worst teams.

DeForest Buckner diagnosed yesterday's game better than he played it.  

Frank Reich still believes in his players and his process despite a "pathetic" loss in Jacksonville.  

Chris Ballard had a bad day as his receivers (minus Ashton Dulin) proved fans and Kevin Bowen right.  

Chiefs up next!  Oh boy!  

Indiana Hoosiers stay undefeated with a 33-30 overtime win over Western Kentucky!

Colts shutout 24-0 by team that Carson Wentz beat last week.  Jaguars dominated in every way.  

Colts allowed five sacks while creating none against Trevor Lawrence.  

Jonathan Taylor, Grover Stewart, and Stephon Gilmore might be the only Colts who earned a chartered flight home.  

And in seven days, the Chiefs come to town.

Colts will be down Pierce and Leonard, but Buckner, Moore, and Pittman are questionable for a week two tilt we will celebrate like a Super Bowl win with Champagne and a prize if the Colts prevail!    

Braden Smith's ability and health in question, but Grover Stewart's is not!  

Can Frank Reich lose the finesse for one Sunday and rely upon his offense line to knock people down?  I believe he will!  Ivan gets after five picks - including IU vs. WKU, Jets @ Browns, ATL @ Rams, Bears @ Packers, and of course the Colts in Jacksonville!

Colts face a strange must-win against the Jags - a lesser opponent at a stadium where they can't win!    

Alec Pierce continues to move through the protocol toward playing, but DeForest Buckner held out for a second straight practice!  Shaq Leonard full at practice for second straight day.  

Reggie Wayne builds expectations for Michael Strachan as the Colts tend to for their entire organization!  

Colts lead NFL in spending on linemen!  

Hoosiers must find a way to beat Western Kentucky at Memorial Stadium tomorrow!

Jonathan Taylor & Yannick Ngakoue are great guys worthy of fans' love, but the character & grit in a tie in Houston better not be repeated in Jacksonville!  

The seven game losing streak in Jacksonville has had nine starting quarterbacks, many Frank Reich dark green failures, a missed Rodrigo Blanken-chip, and a blast from the past scoop and score TD from an all-time Colts favorite!  

Matt Ryan is 4-0 lifetime against the Jaguars, and that can't be a bad thing, right?

T.Y. Hilton is now officially a former Colt, and his career was worthy of gratitude.  Colts injury list is starting to become a worry with DeForest Buckner, Kenny Moore, and Michael Pittman as additions!  

Frank Reich is one loss away from a heated seat, but fans need to remember a very important number when evaluating Reich.  

Hoosiers are only six-point favorites Saturday against Western Kentucky.  Is that an investment opportunity?  

Colts are only four-point faves tonight against the Chargers in KC!
