I'm dedicating this edition of Luke Links to the fact that the Colts are not giving up on Bobzilla.  After having surgery yesterday to repair his torn biceps, the Colts announced that they would continue to carry Bob Sanders on the active roster until he can return to the field, or until it is deemed he is unable to return this season.

I wrote enough about this to be its own story, so won't repeat it here.  On with today's links!
