Colts had placed DeForest Buckner on IR, but do not expect his neck injury to end his season. Falcons have their own injury issues. Indiana will work to win and flip Penn State players to Hoosiers for next year. Brian Windhorst extended by ESPN, which immediately begs the question “why?” Mark Sanchez being replaced by Drew Brees - the latest example of media management, taking advantage of a former employee’s mistake.

Sauce Gardner, out of protocol and neck deep in playbook. Deforested Buckner out for Sunday – injury report update for Colts and Falcons. Daniel Jones may fail, but it won’t be because of pressure. Assembly Hall’s court looks fantastic. Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland took his own life last night. West ern Michigan alum was 24. ESPN bet predictably ending service – ESPN instead now partners with DraftKings.

Colts likely to go one way or the other after trade for Sauce Gardner. Best result is a Super Bowl. Worst result – another Trent Richardson deal that takes down franchise. IU basketball rolls over Alabama A&M. Hoosiers hit every free throw, shoot well, and could’ve scored 120. Hoosier football ready for road challenge at Penn State. 14 1/2 point favorites, but we know that doesn’t mean squat against talent at their place. Pacers lose again – this time to previously winless Nets.

Sauce Gardner is still in concussion protocol, but if he clears – as is expected – he will contribute immediately and that means in Germany! Sauce’s signing communicates that Chris Ballard will return as a general manager of the Colts. There is no world in which a new general manager would take the Colts job minus two 1st round picks! Indiana basketball takes the court tonight at assembly Hall against Alabama A&M, and we have no idea what that’s gonna look like or even which five guys gonna start.
