So if you were expecting a cruel summer, just shake it off. But if you don’t win, don’t blame me. There can be no bad blood. … Ready for it?
Chiefs fans who attend the Quad Cities River Bandits game on Saturday June 29 at Dozer Park will be automatically entered into a raffle to win the Taylor Swift experience when the game ticket is scanned at the gate.
Swifties must be present to win, as the winner will be chosen at the end of the game.
You need to calm down, Swifties. Your wildest dreams could come true. To complete your love story, you only need to be a baseball fan, if even for a delicate few hours.
The great war for single game tickets will begin in March, but don’t get enchanted with that date. There are voucher plans for 10-ticket blocks available at the Dozer Park box office, starting at $140. After the package is purchased, a priority booking period will follow ahead of the sale for individual game tickets. An opportunity that will leave you saying, “Look what you made me do.”
Swift’s stop in Indianapolis will be just one of five North American locations she’s scheduled for 2024 after her international tour comes to an end.
“As an organization, this is something that we’ve never done before,” said Chiefs general manager Jason Mott. “Our staff worked diligently on this event and we’re excited to host the Peoria community for what will undoubtedly be a night to remember for one lucky fan.”

Man confesses to killing his wife, police and neighbors react to the crime
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — While on the phone with 911, a 70-year-old man confessed he “bludgeoned” his wife with a hammer. When the dispatcher asked if he was able to do CPR, his reply was, “it’s too late.”
Jan. 17, 79-year-old Terry Ogle confessed to killing his 76-year-old wife, Mary Ogle, at their home on Questend Drive South and Warman Avenue.
Court documents detailed the crime scene.
Police found Mary dead in a rear bedroom. She was flat on her back. The lower half of her body was covered in a blanket. The right top of her skull was hit. And police saw what appeared to be blood all over the house, on a pillow, on living room reclining chair, from the basement stairs to the kitchen sink.
The affidavit revealed that Ogle confessed to murder, citing he was depressed and thought his wife was having an affair. Police said Ogle texted his daughter, admitting guilt, telling her, “I’m going to jail. I killed-“
Ogle slit his wrist and was taken to a hospital after the crime. He was since released from the hospital and taken to the Marion County Jail.
“This is an isolated incident but it effects the whole community and family, and will continue to effect that family,” IMPD public information officer Tommy Thompson said.
He said that, “it doesn’t matter if they’re young or the age that this suspect is. Everyone is going through something. And if you need help, please don’t take it out on someone. Ask for help. Call 911. Get help.”
Victor Onochie, lives across the street from the Ogle. He didn’t know the couple that well, but said they seemed nice.
“I see them walking and exercising together across the street. We greet ‘hi’ and so on, and ‘how are you doing?’ Nothing stood out of the ordinary,” he said. “No, I didn’t think they were in any trouble.”
Ogle is currently in custody without bond.

Former Colts player Marlin Jackson continues to inspire through nonprofit
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – On Jan. 21, 2007, Marlin Jackson made a game-winning interception that sent the Indianapolis Colts to the Super Bowl, toppling the New England Patriots and securing a place in football history.
Nearly two decades later, Jackson’s unforgettable play continues to inspire sports fans and Hoosiers.
But his impact doesn’t stop there—today, he’s channeling his success into making a difference off the field, using his platform to inspire and uplift the Indianapolis community through his charitable work.
Jackson founded an organization called Fight for Life. The nonprofit partners with educators to provide space for youth to process their experiences and circumstances so they can experience winning moments.
Jackson dropped by the “All Indiana” studio along with Fight for Life’s Implementation Specialist Taylor Massey to talk about the initiative.
Massey shared that teachers and educators use Fight for Life’s Building Dreams platform to help students build good habits and celebrate their accomplishments.
Data from the platform allows educators to better identify barriers to student success.
The nonprofit’s #winningmoments campaign encourages youth and educators to look for personal winning moments, both on an individual basis and from within the community.
You can participate in the campaign by donating to Fight for Life or by sharing your winning moments using the hashtag #FFLWINNINGMOMEMTS.

Colts’ Top 3 Needs (and Options) to Maximize Lou Anarumo’s Defense
The Indianapolis Colts have reportedly hired Lou Anarumo to be their next defensive coordinator. The former Cincinnati Bengals signal-caller will bring an innovative and unique style to Indianapolis next season (and hopefully beyond).
The Colts have several good pieces to offer Anarumo, including former Pro Bowl nickel cornerback Kenny Moore II and former All-Pro DeForest Buckner. Grover Stewart should also excel in the same scheme that D.J. Reader once thrived in with the Bengals. Aside from those three staples, the rest of the Colts’ defense could be in limbo going forward.
The Colts need to add some veteran help to raise the floor of this defense, or the team could face the same issues the Bengals faced last season. The Colts must bring in veterans for these three roles this offseason for Anarumo’s defense to be successful in 2025.
Coverage Linebacker
Anarumo’s linebackers are the core of what he wants to do on defense. Back in his peak years with the Bengals, Logan Wilson and Germaine Pratt were fantastic coverage players that made an impact in the passing game. The Colts, in contrast, haven’t had a premier coverage linebacker since Bobby Okereke and Shaquille Leonard left town.
The Colts must look to free agency to improve upon this weakness. Zaire Franklin can be an adequate cover guy, and rookie Jaylon Carlies showed some impressive flashes, but the team needs to add to the room with those guys. E.J. Speed is simply not the answer for this scheme alongside those two aforementioned players.
Tyrel Dodson (Miami Dolphins), Cody Barton (Denver Broncos), and/or Ernest Jones (Seattle Seahawks) could be viable options to upgrade the Colts’ current roster. Dodson, in particular, is an intriguing option, as the athletic linebacker finished last season with three interceptions (most among all linebackers in the league).
Centerfield Safety
The other massive need to address this offseason is deep centerfield safety. Anarumo likes to play out of a single-high structure, and a sideline-to-sideline free safety is a must for his system to survive. In his best years with the Bengals, Jessie Bates was the star roamer over the top.
The Colts have a young strong safety coming off of a career-best season in Nick Cross, but they desperately need a legit cover guy next to him. Julian Blackmon had his worst career season in 2024, and he shouldn’t be an option to start again next year. The Colts need outside help either in the draft or in free agency to improve at free safety.
Jevon Holland (Dolphins), Trevon Moehrig (Las Vegas Raiders), and/or Justin Reid (Kansas City Chiefs) are among the options that could make sense in free agency. Holland would be particularly interesting if he hits the market, but Moehrig could be an interesting consolation prize if he doesn’t.
Veteran Help at Cornerback
As it currently stands, the Colts only have two playable outside cornerbacks on the roster (Samuel Womack, Jaylon Jones). JuJu Brents has not shown the ability to stay healthy, and after him, the cupboard is bare on the roster. The Colts must add some veteran competition to the room to alleviate some growing pains to the new system.
On the higher end, the Colts could look into players like D.J. Reed (New York Jets), Charvarius Ward (San Francisco 49ers), and/or Rasul Douglas (Buffalo Bills) to come in and immediately start next season. Reed, in particular, would be an excellent fit alongside Jones on the outside as a starter.
Even on the lower end, the Colts could look at players like Benjamin St. Juste (Washington Commanders), Shaquill Griffin (Minnesota Vikings), and/or Eric Stokes (Green Bay Packers) simply to come in and compete this offseason. These players, at the very least, would be upgrades over the Colts’ current backups on the team.
