The Replay: Colts, Bob Kravitz, and Yogi Ferrell

Mayday Edition

Every Friday, we post up The Replay, our weekly look at sports. It’s mostly fouls and airballs.

 

» Taking Offense: The Colts used their first-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft on a wide receiver, Miami speedster Phillip Dorsett, and gave WTHR columnist Bob Kravitz an aneurysm.

 

» Coy Vey: The folks at Deadspin continue their appreciation of Reggie Miller, Basketball Analyst, by taking the former Pacer great to task for pretending (hopefully) not to know what fans mean when they chant that someone sucks. “What do they mean, ‘Refs, you suck’? Suck what?” Reggie’s always been a shooter—just not necessarily a straight-shooter.

 

» Staying Power: Much to the delight of Hoosier Nation, Yogi Ferrell announced that he’s returning to Indiana for his senior season. The Hunger Games-esque promotional poster (Team Gale for life, yo) accompanying the guard’s head-scratching declaration (everyone knew he was coming back, right?) was in keeping with the non-event event: lots of smoke, but no fire.

» For Kicks: Here’s another look at the Colts’ Pat McAfee getting the 500 Festival underway on Monument Circle Wednesday.
