2010 Colts Training Camp: Notes from the twenty-first practice (Aug. 16) UPDATE Offense wins bowling tournament... we think

by Brad Wells on Aug 16, 2010 8:06 PM EDT in 2010 Colts Training Camp

The Colts returned to the University of Anderson today after looking both sharp and flat in their 37-17 preseason debut against the 49ers on Sunday. At 4pm today they held a practice, but no one I know attended it. I'm not seeing Phil Wilson Tweeting about it, which leads me to believe it was another generic walk through. If you or someone you know was there, shoot us details in the comments.

[UPDATE]: Monday's 4pm practice was indeed a walk through.

Even though we don't know the details of today's practice, we do know what the team did after practice.

THEY WENT BOWLING!

@ the bowling alley got this Offense vs Defense show show winner get ipads.

Ervin Baldwin, via Twitter:

Bowling game today the whole team offense vs defense whoever wins gets Ipads!

Cody Glenn, via Twitter:

Defense bout to smash the O at the bowling alley, iPad boyzzzzzz lol

Robert Mathis, via Twitter:

Somebody hurry up and transport a 300 bowling game to my body rite quick!!!!

Curtis Painter, via Twitter*:

I think I just threw an interception... and I'm bowling right now

I'll be rooting for the defense. Players on that side of the ball Tweet more than the offense.

*The Painter one is fake. Honest.

[UPDATE]: Pat McAfee, via Twitter:

4728-4791 in favor of the offense at halftime.. Peyton rigged this sh*t

[UPDATE #2]: By how Robert Mathis makes it sound, it appears the offense won:

This is some bull........cheated again!

I would love to be a fly on the wall watching this. I bet Peyton is calling audibles before he bowls.

One of the most interesting stories of the offseason.

One of the most interesting stories of the offseason was how competitive many of the Colts players were at bowling. I don’t know why this is surprising to me, but I really get a kick out of it.

McAfee

what team is he on?

by Jamison1 on Aug 16, 2010 9:06 PM EDT reply actions

defense

by flores salicis on Aug 16, 2010 9:47 PM EDT up reply actions

actually

wouldn’t a punter be considered more of an offensive player since he comes out on 4th downs of offense?

by coltus on Aug 16, 2010 10:27 PM EDT up reply actions

maybe so

but he was on the defense for this challenge

How can you not love a team that does this?

Defense

because you’re trying to move the ball as far from your own goal line.

The offense does that too

punt unit is considered defense for training camp

field goal unit is offense.
