2015 Colts Schedule Highlighted By Primetime Games

2015 Indianapolis Colts Training Camp: Full schedule announced

INDIANAPOLIS The anticipation is over.

The Colts know when and where they will be playing their 2015 opponents.

As expected, there are plenty of cant miss storylines throughout the Colts schedule.

Here are a few takeaways from the Colts 2015 schedule:

October Stretch

Whenever I first take a look at a new schedule, I look for that eye-popping stretch. What stretch could really turn a season in one direction or another? For me, that comes in Weeks 5-9 when the Colts start with a trip to Houston on a Thursday night (10/8), New England (10/18), New Orleans (10/25), at Carolina (11/2) and Denver (11/8). The Colts will have nationally televised games in four of those five matchups and that will lead into their Week 10 bye week. In that stretch, you have tremendous quarterback play with five teams that all earned a postseason berth or were on the verge of one last season.

Primetime Five

The most primetime games a team can have in a season is five and it is to no surprise the Colts have that allotment in 2015. We touched on a trio of the primetime games above (Houston-Thursday, New England-Sunday and Carolina-Monday). The other two will come in the opening and closing months of the season. The Colts home opener will be a Monday Night Football matchup versus the New York Jets (9/21). The final night game for the Colts in 2015 will come on Sunday, December 6 when the AFC South Champs travel to Pittsburgh to take on the defending AFC North Champions.

AFCs Elite

After three straight 11-win seasons, the Colts are certainly in a position to not only secure the AFC South, but think about home field advantage in the playoffs. Its an attainable goal, one that has been elusive in the Colts recent playoff appearances. If the Colts are going to play at Lucas Oil Stadium past January 3 (the regular season finale), circle these dates on your calendar as vital AFC matchups: New England (10/18), Denver (11/8) and at Pittsburgh (12/6).

Division Slate

For really the second straight year, the Colts have their divisional games divided up into two stretches during the season. The first comes in Weeks 3-5 when the Colts meet the AFC South for the first time in 2015: at Tennessee (9/27), Jacksonville (10/4) and at Houston (10/8). The rematches for those games will come in Weeks 13-17: at Jacksonville (12/13), Houston (12/20) and Tennessee (1/3). Remember, the Colts bring an impressive 13-game divisional win streak into the 2015 season.

December Warmth?

Theres great news for the Colts road trips in December. Yes, the Pittsburgh road game on 12/6 (Sunday Night Football) wont be ideal weather wise, but the next two contests away from home are friendlier. The Colts will travel to Jacksonville on 12/13 and Miami on 12/27 to round out their road slate for 2015. If you are looking for a possible road atmosphere (in the regular season) that could best resemble a playoff trip then that trip to Pittsburgh on December 6 will be the one to watch in the second half of the year.

Watch Eminem Transform Into Britney Spears On "The Real Slim Shady" Video Set

Eminem - When I"m Gone
by Nadeska Alexis 10/15/2015

Eminems birthday is coming up on October 17, but we need to celebrate Shady for more than one day of the year. And thats because hes one of the most creative and hilarious artists of all time. Weve got the throwback footage to prove it, too.

Back in 2000 Em made fun of everyone and their mom in The Real Slim Shady video, and that included Britney Spears, who was the reigning pop queen at the time. He really got into character rocking her outfit from the Baby One More Time video and the behind-the-scenes footage of him transforming into Brit is priceless.

Marshall didnt seem to fully realize what he was getting into here, but by the time he was wearing false eyelashes, lip liner and a blonde wig, he was ready to roll with it.

Check out the silly footage above.

What"s the deal with Sweetest Day bullshit, anyway?

Vanessa Williams - The Sweetest Day (Karaoke)
Tomorrow is Sweetest Day. Well, tomorrow is Sweetest Day in many Midwestern towns, mainly Detroit and Cleveland. But in the rest of the country it will just be a regular ol Saturday.

Who"s to blame for that?

In Detroit, itd be Frederick Sanders of the Sanders Candy Company, a large promoter of the holiday (scroll down to see the man who founded Sanders in 1875). In Cleveland, itd be those 12 white guys up top. (From left to right, courtesy of this post:C.R. Canter, A.E. Barton, R.T. Fuller, J.J. Wilsdon, R.H. Sheehan, W.A. Katzenmeyer, A.A. Sarouch, Louis Hahn, W.J. Nichols, C.C. Hartzell [chairman], L. Narwood, and L.E. Gruber.)

That was the committee back in 1921 literally called the "Sweetest Day in the Year Committee" that created this godforsaken excuse of a holiday. Yes, they were candy guys one and all, straight out of Big Candy, and they came up with this grand scheme to pull a holiday out of midair to boost sales. It"s just the sort of nefarious dealings you would expect from a bunch of confectioneers. Big Candy is not to be trifled with.

Lots of folks, of course, have mistakenly placed blame on Big Greeting Card before y"all know the term Hallmark Holiday but American Greetings and Hallmark did nothing but take advantage of Big Candy"s creation and used it to sell a bajillion greeting cards to guys who had the misfortune of living in Cleveland or Detroit while dating. (Hallmark started making cards in the "60s, AG in the "30s.)

Former Plain Dealer scribe and current CWRU media relations guru Bill Lubinger broke down the actual origin story back in 2005. Sadly, that piece of journalism is no longer available on Cleveland.com. Thankfully, though, bits and pieces of it were shared on a variety of Sweetest Day-oriented sites and in articles and the creamy nougat of his work can be pulled together for the most part, the most important bit being that the original tales of magnanimous candymakers dolling out treats for no reason other than to be good people is probably definitely not true. From the Mount Vernon News:

The heartwarming version of the story is that, in 1922, Herbert Birch Kingston, a candy company employee, gave away candy to people he felt had been forgotten by others: Orphans, shut-ins and the underprivileged. His magnanimous gesture caught on and the holiday always celebrated on the third Saturday in October spread, but slowly and not very far.

However, reporter Bill Lubinger of The Cleveland Plain Dealer shot the heartwarming story full of holes a few years ago when he wrote that ... Clevelands top candy makers concocted the promotion ... and it stuck, although it never became as widely accepted as hoped.

Lubinger bases this on The Plain Dealers own article published on Oct. 8, 1921, which tells how Sweetest Day was planned by a committee of 12 confectioners, who distributed 19,500 boxes of candy to newsboys, homeless people, orphans and others who had fallen on hard times in Cleveland. The Sweetest Day in the Year Committee was assisted in the distribution of candy by some of the biggest movie stars of the day including Theda Bara and Anne Pennington.

Big Candy tried to push the holiday to other cities, including New York, but not many cities were dumb enough to get sucked into the sugary hurricane. We were not so lucky.
