- Apparently the Indianapolis Colts didn't get the memo that trading Peyton Manning was supposed to usher in a couple painful years following his brilliant run as the team's QB and Andrew Luck may have quite a bit to do with that.
- The rookie phenom ran for two TD's and only made one mistake (an interception thrown while he was being hit) as the Colts won their 4th straight game, beating the hapless Jacksonville Jaguars 27-10.
- Luck eclipsed the TD total for his father Oliver's entire 4 year NFL career with his second score, the 15th of his career and has now doubled Peyton Manning's win total from his rookie year with the Colts.
- Reggie Wayne caught 8 passes for 96 yards, by far the NFL's leader in receiving yards, in the effort and Darius Butler caught two interceptions and also recovered a fumble.
Lakers Struggle Out of the Gate
- When the Lakers take on the Golden State Warriors tonight, they are favored to get their second victory of the season, unfortunately for the preseason Western Conference favorites, its their 6th game, and they are looking to move to 2-4.
- With the Thunder trading James Harden and the offseason acquisitions of Steve Nash and Dwight Howard, the path to the NBA finals looked very clear for the Lakers. However, a nicked up Nash and a slowed down Kobe Bryant have led to the Lakers stumble out of the gate.
- Some of their early season struggles can be attributed to the two new starters. Especially Howard who missed much of the preseason recovering from back surgery. This veteran team knows how to win, and are still the favorites in the Western Conference, but perhaps by a smaller margin than in the past.
