We thought a little late-afternoon linkage was in order. The new Transformers movie is getting destroyed by critics, and it seems for good reason. Apparently, some of the robots in the film are presented as racial stereotypes. That's unfortunate. I guess if you have kids, ignore this thing. Take them to "Up!"
- While Pierre Garcon has the edge when it comes to locking down the #3 WR spot, do not count out rookie Austin Collie. He impressed many during OTAs. Now, we need to see if he is as good playing in live games.
- I disagree with John Oehser. ESPN's silly "all decade" MVP did not draw my ire, or the ire of many in the blogosphere. It simply provided another example that ESPN is a vapid sports news media entity that employs some very stupid writers. "Ire" requires anger. I saw little anger but more annoyance and a few dismissive chuckles.
- Dwight Freeney wants former Bears DE Richard Dent in the Hall of Fame. I agree. If Michael friggin Irvin is in there, why isn't Dent?
- Donald Brown is ranked 3rd among fantasy rookie RBs.
- Jamey Richard is still learning. He will also likely push Mike Pollak for the starting guard spot. If Pollak (a 2nd rounder) loses his job to the more physical and seemingly tougher Richard (a 7th rounder), then Pollak might be one of Polian's bigger draft busts in a long while. We shall see.
- Scouts.com talks about the off-season for teams in the AFC South.
- Gary Brackett chats it up on Colts.com.
- Bob Sanders seems to like the new defense, which (not surprisingly) is very similar to the old one.

Michael Irvin stabbed a teammate in the neck with a pair of scissors
because he wouldn’t let Irvin cut in line to get a haircut at training camp.

Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.
Man, I need a life...
Random facts of the week from the empty void that is my mind: I'm going to be going to Missouri (where there is no Internet or computers) for 2 weeks starting Monday, so I've got 3 of these for you.
1. You may have noticed before, but I love Scrubs. A lot. No seriously, I'm addicted to it, and here's why with this thrown in.
2. When you put thermite and blocks of ice together, you get a big boom. Nobody really knows why.
3. The Colts' (Indy and Baltimore's) all-time franchise record is 438-428-8. So, the Colts' just recently (2007 season) broke .500. That really tells you how bad the Colts were before Peyton.
I have never
Been a big fan of the Pollak pick. I’m partial to give him the benefit of the doubt since he was thrust into the starting lineup last year at an unfamiliar position, but I still scratch my head when thinking of why we took him. But like said above, Richard was an absolute steal, so it may balance out if Pollak doesn’t improve, but he’s still young.
As for transformers, I imagine if you REALLY liked the first one, you’ll for sure like this one. I thought the first one had awesome effects and it was cool seeing the toys I played with as a kid on the big screen, but the terrible acting, horrible out of nowhere one liners, and bad humor from the first one will keep me very far away from the sequel. All depends on what you like, I guess.
good thing
Megan Fox was in the first movie………i wouldnt have made it to the end. I’ll wait for the second to come out on DVD. ………….. sigh how long until football starts!?!?
