Colts bring back quarterback Dan Orlovsky
Football Betting Lines
09/28/2011 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Indianapolis Colts, searching for stability at a position that has been stable for well over a decade, have reportedly brought back quarterback Dan Orlovsky.
Orlovsky was re-signed late Tuesday, according to a report in the Indianapolis Star. The signal-caller was waived on September 3 after spending the preseason with the team.
The 28-year-old Orlovsky appeared in 13 games for Detroit and Houston in 2008, starting and losing seven of them for the winless Lions in 2008.
The signing signals several key points, the most prominent that the Colts are still searching for answers under center with All-Pro Peyton Manning recovering from offseason neck surgery. It is unclear if Manning will play this season.
Also, Kerry Collins, who started the season's first three games, is under evaluation for a concussion. He left Sunday night's loss to Pittsburgh after three quarters because of concussion-like symptons. Curtis Painter, the only other healthy quarterback on the roster, came into the game and lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown before engineering a game-tying 80- yard touchdown drive late in the 23-20 loss to the Steelers.
According to the newspaper, the Colts also worked out veteran Brodie Croyle before opting to sign a veteran familiar with the Colts' style and system.
Indianapolis, off to an 0-3 start for the first time since 1998, again takes the national stage next Monday night at Tampa Bay.

FOOTBALL TRASH TALK
NFL Football Trash TalkTrash talk has a place in every competitive endeavor (except baseball; those stirrup-wearers are too busy chewing on their sunflower seeds and their supplements to worry about what their opponents are doing).
Fantasy sports is no exception. Any intelligent discussion of the subject would probably start with a thesis statement or a definition of terms. Thankfully, this wont be an intelligent discussion.
Let me just say that I am happy to take a place in this space alongside my talented colleagues, even our commissioner. (You should see how she bleats like a demented paper boy about league fees on our fantasy site).
Trash talking, I would argue, is primarily about amusing your friends, their sheeplike demeanors and sloping foreheads notwithstanding. The best place I have found for football trash talking is at www.SportsAlarm.com.
Beyond the entertainment factor, though, I would recognize that the sophomoric ritual has one advantage, when properly applied. It magnifies your fantasy triumphs and mitigates your fantasy failures by transforming the eventual point total into an afterthought. Winning makes it seem like your opponent really is a truss-owning, lapel-pin-wearing nitwit. And in defeat, trash talk can be the air bag to break the fall from your hyperbolic heights. The plug-necked yahoos on your team, you can say, will be sacking groceries by the end of the season.
The best trash talk, in my view, is layered and nuanced. And it doesnt focus only on your opponents team. It picks apart your opponent. The idea is to create a shock-and-awe-scale blizzard of nonsense, and the goal is to make your opponent drop his hands from his keyboard in exasperation.
What team does your opponent root for? Accuse a Giants fan of having a Joe Namath pillowcase. Wheres your opponent from? Give a look of concern no matter his reply, then say, I'll try to type slower for you next time. Is your opponent into politics? Label everyone a tax-and-spend corporate shill.
Cap all that with a liberal application of irrelevance. For instance, dont just conclude by saying your opponent is a twerp who drafts like my grandmother. Say that your opponent is a sweater-wearing, eyebrow-plucking twerp who drafts his team about as well as Zsa Zsa Gabor gave acceptance speeches at the Oscars. By the time your foe makes sense of that, his starting running back will have had puppies.
But what about you? Hmm? Recall a memorable slam? Have a tried-and-true technique? Know someone who seems impervious to insult? Take a moment and tells us about it. Put together some (fit-for-publication) thoughts. You wont be too busy returning phone messages from your friends, Im sure, to reply.
In addition to the trash talking, the Sports Alarm has a huge gallery of high resolution pictures of beautiful women and models in bikinis. The most popular models are: Lindsay Lohan, Carrie Underwood, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Paris Hilton.
