Two New Colts

 Happy Saturday. Er, Friday. Feels that way when you take a day off for the first time in a while. As I battle through a bout of gastritis/stomach ulcer pain, I attended the NCAA tournament for the first time today. It was definitely on my sports bucket list. There was some news in Colts land in the past 48 hours.

The Colts signed Tom Zbikowski! They now have a real walking, breathing safety! Here are some things to know about 'Zib', and I suggest a visit to his football reference page if you want to spend time looking at old football information that will waste a lot of your precious time you can never get back.

• Notre Dame product, was a teammate of Brady Quinn.
• Selected in the 3rd round, 86th overall in the 2008 NFL draft.
• Has basically played only on special teams even though he figures to be the starter for the Colts.
• Who he might be when he grows up: Jim Leonard-type with an emphasis on his ability to return punts.

Also, another Eagle has left the nest for Naptown. His name is Mike McGlynn. On McGlynn:

• From Austintown, Ohio. Was a Pittsburgh Panther on Saturdays.
• 4th round pick, 109th overall in the 2008 NFL draft. 
• Started 14 games for the Eagles in 2010 at center, and then 4 last season for the Bengals at guard.
• Figures to be a swing-man type on the line. Hopefully just a back-up.

Also in closing out this post, Peyton Manning plans to sign with his new team next week. Rumor has it that the new team is the Broncos, and there's an interesting story behind it all.
