Colts are on board with MLS, and actively *want* to share a stadium district with a soccer team? Game-changer. Can it overcome three of Indiana's most powerful politicians, who'd rather not help our city?

Exclusive: MLS, finally, to Indianapolis? It's closer. For the first time, the city has given the Colts a seat at the soccer table - and our NFL team backs a new team, and stadium, that would reshape that part of downtown. www.indystar.com/story/sports...

This happened Saturday. The implications are enormous. How do the Fever move forward with players around the league, and in their own locker room, talking this way about Fever fans? By "Fever fans," they mean CC's cult following. Not the same thing. But does it matter?

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor had two jolly good TD cellies, DT Jerry Tillery made the play that changed the game - see it? - and Shane Steichen was too cute with the #Londoncalling I mean #playcalling. Lots in column here. www.indystar.com/story/sports...

In my game column after Fever-Aces Game 3, I called Kelsey Mitchell "a stoic figure – the adult in the room, always." And I wondered if "will she return to the most combustible team and atmosphere, night in and night out, in the WNBA?" www.indystar.com/story/sports...

The Fever's season was decided hours before tipoff, when the WNBA cleared A'ja Wilson to play. Was it the right decision? I have thoughts. Caitlin Clark had thoughts about another side-eye part of last night's Game 3 loss to the Aces. www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Dick the Bruiser was a bucket-list column for me since 2014, I just wrote it, and it was all I'd hoped: Fearsome pro wrestler comes from Indy, plays football at Purdue and lives a life that defied anyone to put him in a box. Until they put him in a box. www.indystar.com/story/sports...

By midseason of last year, the Pacers had targeted Ivica Zubac as their first choice at center. They had a fallback plan, which you would've liked too. Their Plan C? Not so much. It's in the column.
