It’s been ten years since you created the first cover for Delayed Gratification, which made such a difference in raising awareness of the magazine when we launched. So I wanted to start by saying thank you.
My pleasure. When we talked back in 2010 we shared the sentiment that print is really important and that I value it, you value it. It made sense for us to come together on that, and I’m glad
Delayed Gratification is still going. I always try to project optimism because I think that keeping people’s spirits up is important, but I really didn’t have high hopes for the viability of your project! It’s a very tough business, and so congratulations.

When the Bears acquired Jay Cutler from the Broncos in 2009, his availability was the first red flag. The Bears were able to trade for a 25-year-old quarterback coming off a Pro Bowl season because Cutler was miffed that new Broncos coach Josh McDaniels sought to acquire Patriots backup Matt Cassel whom McDaniels had tutored in New England and wanted out. Even after the Cassel deal fell through, Cutler demanded a trade because he didn’t think he could trust McDaniels. It was a stroke of good fortune for the Bears and general manager Jerry Angelo, but the red flag was still there. If Cutler was that persnickety that he couldn’t get over McDaniels initially wanting his own guy how would he survive the annual tumult in Chicago, where nothing goes right without a lot going wrong?
Colts Injury Report: T Holden, S Willis, and CB Ya-Sin OUT. WR Pittman Jr. QUESTIONABLE
Wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is QUESTIONABLE with a concussion. Pittman was a full participant both Thursday and Friday but will have to clear concussion protocol before being activated. He sustained the injury during last week’s matchup against Pittsburgh. Look for the Colts to rely more on T.Y. Hilton, Ashton Dulin, and DeMichael Harris on Sunday. Perhaps fellow rookie wideout Dezmon Patmon gets elevated before Sunday’s game, which would give Indianapolis a wideout with the same build as Pittman.
After missing the last few games with a quad injury, wideout Marcus Johnson appears to be good to go for Sunday’s matchup. His return is big for Indy’s offense, as Johnson has been fairly reliable when healthy this season. And with Pittman possibly being out, Johnson’s return means even more.

Wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., meanwhile, was originally labeled as questionable on Friday, but on Saturday the team announced he had cleared concussion protocol and his questionable designation had been lifted.
RULED OUT
» Holden suffered an ankle injury in last Sunday s Week 16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers; he was starting in place of Anthony Castonzo, who, according to Reich, will be undergoing season-ending ankle surgery and be placed on injured reserve. The Colts have a few options at left tackle this Sunday, including Chaz Green on the active roster and Carter O Donnell, Jared Veldheer or J Marcus Webb on the practice squad; the team could also elect to move left guard Quenton Nelson over to left tackle and ut
