Holt was released by the Rams earlier this offseason as they are looking to rebuild.This deal definitely doesn't help out the Colts. I've always liked Holt, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to root for him anymore. Jacksonville already has a good running game

As a big Cubs fan, I will occasionally wonder away from Indy Sports to talk about the Cubs. With the Cubs' first game on Monday quickly approaching, I thought I would share my thoughts on the upcoming season.The Cubs offseason was a disappointment to me and many other Cubs fans. We lost key players and fan favorites in Kerry Wood and Mark Derosa. At the time, these trades were rumored to be

Nice article by Mike Wells in the Indy Star today about Hibbert. His article talks about how Hibbert is trying to become a low-post presence for the Pacers, and I'd like to offer my opinion on this.The Pacers have lacked a dominant low-post presence since the days when JO was in his prime.
