Somebody has to explain what the Colts did. Destitute on defense. Defensive coach. Switching to 3--4. Bueller? Bueller?

Love the Courtney Upshaw pick. He's a beast. This business about him falling because he's a tweener is so dumb. Has that hurt Suggs? #Ravens

If Bodemeister runs the race he did at the Arkansas Derby, he wins Kentucky Derby: 2 months ago I put future wager bet on him to win at 75--1.
