The Indianapolis Colts' situation with Jonathan Taylor has reached the point of no return. (Photo ... [+] by Dylan Buell/Getty Images) Getty Images As the Indianapolis Colts enter the 2o23 regular season, Jonathan Taylor will remain a member of the roster — except he won’t be playing in games any time soon.

While the Miami Dolphins and Green Bay Packers both reportedly expressed interest in trading for Taylor, the Colts didn’t feel either teams’ trade discussions were strong enough to facilitate a deal. Colts general manager Chris Ballard directly addressed the topic of Taylor while speaking to reporters on Wednesday, stressing that althou

Eastman. Eastman is accused of undermining the core of American democracy — free and fair elections — by scheming to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.

(Photo by Catherine Ivill/Getty Images) Getty Images There are just over 48 hours left before the transfer window closes on Sep. 1.
