My thoughts on sports and life

Last Season : The Indianapolis Colts shocked a lot of people in 2012 by rallying behind a rookie quarterback and interim head coach Bruce Arians, who stepped in when Chuck Pagano was diagnosed and receiving treatment for leukemia.

The team added Jason Campbell this offseason, but Weeden will get another chance after strug...
