the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection
OT: Colts Fire Sale
The Marlins. It seem like every few years they win a World Series, then the cheap owner dumps all the young talent.
"The trouble with quotes on the internet, is that it is often difficult to discern whether or not they are genuine" --Abraham Lincoln
Though don't they at least get trades? These are straight up drops!
They dump the talent because they wouldn't have been able to afford their contracts the players would deserve. Even when the Marlins are good, NOBODY goes to the games.
Not sure if that will change with the new stadium...
It ain't easy being cheesy
Kinda surprised they dropped Dallas Clark. Was he hurt or something? Cause as far as I remember he's been really productive for them
If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?
All those guys (but painter) are injury prone. Im still sad to see Clark go. He is a tough MoFo
Me fail English? That's unpossible!
Neck injury iirc but he was a HUGE fan favorite
Clark has missed most of the past two seasons.
"It was open," Toussaint said. "I can't compare this hole to any other holes because I can't remember that but it was a huge hole."
It's time to break up the band. I actually like what the Colts are doing. Gives them a chance to put together a group that can come up together. IMHO this is a good move on their part.
Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being sought. It always defeats order because it is better organized.
I hope the Lions can pick up Clark to go along with Pettigrew!
“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”
Pettigrew, Scheffler and Heller. As incredibley awesome as a Dallas Clark pick up would be, there's absolutely no reason in even thinking about shelling out that kind of cash for a position we don't really have a need at. Would be awesome though...
Lions don't have much spending leeway but that would be a great pickup if he was cheap.
After Kevin Smith and having Jahvid Best, would you really want another injury prone RB? Mikel LeShoure's track record not the best so far either.
to me, none of these players work in a system minus Peyton Manning. They were horrible last season, now with Manning they were Pro- Bowl caliber just shows how much Peyton was worth to this team the last 14 years. I am not a Colts fan, but is has to be a sad day to be a Indy fan.
21 years of coaching and every senior who stayed had at least 1 big ten title... That is what " Those who stay will be champions" will really get you Ohio native Bo Schembechler.
They already ripped the band aide half way off by releasing Manning, may as well rip the whole thing off and rebuild rather than another painful season.
Blue is Faster
Robert Irsay ripped a team from Baltimore in the middle of the night with a bunch of moving vans. Jim Irsay ripped the same team from Indy broad daylight with a pen.
The apple certainly didn't fall far from the tree.
i wonder how many wanted out if peyton was going

It doesn't seem like they're putting Luck in a position for a successful rookie season. Without Wayne, Garcon and Clark he isn't going to have much to throw to.
If Ann Arbor is a whore, why didn't you get in?
To answer the OP...yes....other teams have had "fire sales" such as this before. As a matter of fact my Cleveland Browns hold an annual "fire sale" to rid themselves of those pesky high draft picks so they can stock up on those oh so valuable 5th and 6th rounders.
