Let's hear it for Reggie Wayne

Ever since the NFL lockout ended and free agency descended upon the league and its fans, there have been rumors surrounding the Indianapolis Colts’ supposed impending acquisition of some big-name, but aging and/or troubled, receiver or another.   Randy Moss is coming here … Plaxico Burress is coming here … Terrell Owens is coming here!   No wait … Randy Moss is coming here.   Some of these rumors seem to have legs and some are completely made up (trace back through the re-Tweets and the @s, and you can clearly see that they are fabrications), but the real question is why do Colts fans seem so eager for one of these guys to suit up with the Horseshoes?   It’s not like the Colts don’t already have a deep receiving corps, and that doesn’t even count the catching contributions out of the backfield.

"No, Rex. I aim for the THIGH not the FEET." Plaxico Burress explains his position to new coach Ryan.

After a one-day reprieve, when the Indianapolis Colts actually delivered some good news to their fans, the hits to Indy’s Super Bowl hopes resumed this morning with word that Plaxico Burress has signed with the New York Jets.   Burress is bound to be rusty after a couple of years, um, away, but his talent and pedigree are undeniable.   This signing comes at a really great time in the context of Colts news, since Indy is set to release cornerback Kelvin Hayden.  Hope Jerraud Powers has his jets on turned on this year.
