sexual assault and rape are not the same thing
Maybe more information has come out, but all I had heard so far was sexual assault. That could be as small as an unwanted kiss, or, more likely, fondling or an aggressive attempt to take things further than she wanted. Calling it rape is like elevating assault/battery to murder. just sayin’
"If you don't [draft me], I promise you I'll come back and kick your ass for the next 15 years."
To be fair
The suspicions of DUI’s, assaults and what have we are also exception for most other teams. And “under investigation” is not the same as “under suspicion” which is not the same as “charged” which is still not the same as “guilty”.
"It's the greatest job in the world until Peyton comes off the field and you think his thumb might be broken and there's three minutes left in the AFC Championship Game and you're down by three to New England and you haven't taken a snap all year. Yeah, it's a great job until that point." - Jim Sorgi
Ooh la la
•Join the Colts cheerleaders for an Easter Egg Hunt this Saturday
(I stopped reading after “cheerleaders”… so, what are they doing again? 
)

"How can a pickup truck contain enough mass to unfold into a towering machine? I say if Ringling Brothers can get 15 clowns into a Volkswagen, anything is possible."
Easter Egg hunting
I think it’s weak.
If we could join Dallas Clark or Peyton finding Easter Eggs though…

what a bunch of nonsense
Just off the top of my head I can think of DUI, Drugs, and Assault (stay classy Dom Rhodes, how’s your career going Big Ed).
As for sexual assualt:

Lets get off our high horse for a while and recognize that the Colts are a good team, but they don’t walk on watter.
actually just sounds like a lot of speculation with no grounding.
Could even be viewed as someone trying to make a profit of of the book who really knows. However it is completely diffrent that what is being talked about above.

Did you even read the first sentence?!
our high character team, whose members - with few exceptions - simply don’t show up in the press for assault, drugs, DUI, or rape
That “few exceptions” is referring to Dom, Big Ed, and a few other guys, not our stars unlike other teams around the league.
Y’all just do not fit the picture, turn your widescreen on

~Drake "Over"
really
Marvin Harrison isn’t a star on our team?
As far as I can tell every team has some players that get into altercations that involve the police. But in general they are the exceptions not the norm. The only difference I can tell is that we are the only fan base that ignores these altercations and acts high and mighty about it.
Darrell Reid, Kenton Keith, Taj Smith, Nick Harper (though to be fair he was the assaulted one) the list goes on.
Get over it, we have a good team, but they aren’t in any way more classy than other teams.
I think if you sign up to be an athletic trainer on a football team
Chances are, you’re gonna see man ass. Cue comment from PTB or IndyLori….
"If you define your personality as creative, it only means you understand what is perceived to be creative by the world at large, so you're really just following a rote creative template. That's the opposite of creativity. Everybody is wrong about everything, just about all the time.
But ANYWAY..."

Hope you didn't have to wait long.
Yeah, I would tend to agree. Now why did I major in Accounting as opposed to Sports Medicine again?!?!

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: Butler University is (finally) in the Final Four for the first time in school history. While I knew that they could do it, I am still stunned. Only need 2 more wins to finish the job! Go Butler!
