• Prince Fielder gets royally p.o.’ed at Guillermo Mota for plunking him, then tries to crash the Dodgers’ clubhouse after the game.
(Look out! Here he comes!)

Poor Clinton Portis — he had this schtick all ready to go for Week 3. Now he’ll have to scrap it, because Reggie Wayne showed up to Colts training camp on Sunday in construction worker’s gear, driving a dump truck. Wayne’s message? It’s time to get to work on construction of the road to the Super Bowl.
Of course, knowing state highway construction workers like I do, it could also mean “We’ve spent three years building this overpass and we’re still not done.” Will the Colts also take two hour lunch breaks, the second hour of which they’ll be charging double overtime? The answer is unclear. Read more…

With a first-round AFC playoff bye all sewn up, the Indianapolis Colts look to rest most of their starters in their regular season finale - but not until they set some personal records.
The INDIANAPOLIS STAR notes that some individual marks are on the line against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday:
• QB Peyton Manning only needs 55 yards passing to reach 4,000 for the year - and extend his own record for consecutive 4,000-yard seasons to 8.
• And he can throw 8 of those passes to Reggie Wayne, who needs the catches and 77-yards to reach 100 catches & 1,500 yards for the season.
• Peyton can also fling a few to Dallas Clark, who needs 129 yards to move up to #3 on the all-time club receiving record for tight ends.
• A couple of red-zone handoffs to Joseph Addai could help the Colts’ RB set some season rushing records: 2 TDs would give Joe 14 on the year, third-best ever for the team; 6 TDs will break the season record of 17 set by Edgerrin James in 1999.
So, there’s still plenty at stake at the RCA Dome this weekend. At least until halftime - then the Jim Sorgi Experience gets ready to rock the house!
