I've been following my Colts' free agency from afar.
(As in, I've been too busy with basketball to make daily checkups.)
So far, I have nothing but small complaints. Franchising Dallas Clark was, of course, the best thing they could have done.

OK, I know I am going to get some hate mail on this one, but the more I think about it, the more it rings true.

It was a semi-tense scene in the newsroom this afternoon about 4:35 p.m. today as a couple of us huddled around a TV to watch Jim Irsay's press conference on Tony Dungy.
Being a few minutes after the conference's start, we turned it on in mid-sentence and thought, just based on what Jimmy was saying, that Dungy was going to retire.

I admit that I'm just not quite in "Playoffs!!" mode yet this year, and I think it's simply because we haven't had a game yet. It's hard being a winner sometimes, you kmow?
But there's one question lingering in my mind before Sunday's game, and I imagine it's the top one in everyone else's minds as well.

Actually, it's always Tom Brady's fault: 2005 AFC championship loss, ending the Colts' chances at 8-0 back in November, introducing the world to the term "manpurse" ... many other things.
But this time, it's personal.

I swear I'm not a blonde, but I said something really dumb to my commissioner the other day.
About Monday, I gave a quick look at the team. I usually go to the league page first to see who I am up against this week, then roll past my roster to adjust.
But I didn't have a matchup this week. The home page had nothing on it, in fact.

I don't want to start out this entry by saying that I disagree with our regular Sports readers -- because I don't -- but I do want to raise a few discussion points.
In the most recent Sports Web poll (see Friday's print edition for full results), we ... OK, it was me, I wrote it ... asked readers which Colts' injury has had the most detrimental effect on the team this year.
Marvin Harrison was a wide shot winner.
