‘It’s all gonna go great’: Pat McAfee, Colts fans react to Ballard, Steichen returning
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is as frustrated as the fans. He understands the desire for change. But he believes in his team’s leaders.
Irsay posted on social media Sunday night, saying Chris Ballard will remain general manager and coach Shane Steichen will remain coach for 2025. The Colts just finished an 8-9 season and they haven’t made the playoffs for four straight years.
Steichen has an 17-17 record in two seasons as coach. Ballard has been with the Colts for eight seasons. The Colts have gone 62-69-1 over that span with two playoff appearances and no division titles.
“I know fans who want an immediate change in leadership will be disappointed,” Irsay wrote. “That means we all have a lot to prove, so we’ll get back to work and keep doing what we can to earn your support and make you proud to be a Colts fan.”
Many Colts fans — notably former punter Pat McAfee — aren’t pleased.

Police investigating shooting on south side of Indianapolis
INDIANAPOLIS — Police are investigating a shooting that occurred on the south side of Indianapolis on Saturday.
According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, officers were called to the 1500 block of Luke Lane — which is located just off of Madison Avenue near Interstate 465 — to investigate a shooting. When police arrived at the scene, they located a person who appeared to have sustained injuries consistent with gunshot wounds.
IMPD indicated that the shooting victim was “awake and breathing” when officers found him. Police did not specify the exact age of the shooting victim.

Barrett made 9 of 17 shots with three 3-pointers for the Raptors, who won four games on the trip and improved to 6-3 on the road, 8-5 overall. Poeltl made eight of nine shots and had nine rebounds, but was just 6 of 14 at the line.
Toronto had seven double-digit scorers. Brandon Ingram added 19. Scottie Barnes had 14 points, 11 rebounds and six assists.
The Raptors built a nine-point halftime lead and gradually pulled away, the margin reaching 26.
