And Laurence Maroney traded to Denver

Heard a report this morning that it could be career-ending. An article was read on a sports-talk show this morning that stated "Sanders has likely played his last game as an Indianapolis Colt".

The Colts-Texans redux is ready to go, but it seems more important to weigh in on the news of the day, the speculated report that S Bob Sanders has again torn a biceps tendon, this time the right one, and could be out for the year.

Or done with Indy.

Possibly finished in football?

After several national media outlets gave updates on the injury, which occurred in the first quarter of Sunday's 34-24 loss at Houston, the Colts did something they never do on Tuesday. Much to my shock, they issued a news release which confirmed Sanders was, indeed, meeting with Dr. James Andrews Wednesday to get a second opinion on an arm injury. The team didn't give details on the injury, but we know from Colts coach Jim Caldwell that it's not the same biceps he ruptured last season. That was the left one. He played just two games because of that and a knee injury.

The Colts also advised something, again, they never do on the players' day off. They informed WR Anthony Gonzalez will be out this week with a high ankle sprain. I'm not going to lump these guys together past this paragraph, but I can't help but find it ironic that the two guys who were supposed to make these Colts improved are already on the shelf. And Bobzilla, according to some, could be kaput for good.
