INDIANAPOLIS – Caitlin Clark is coming to Indianapolis this summer because she’s turning pro and will be drafted No. 1 overall in April by the WNBA’s Indiana Fever, and if you have no idea what that means – if you have no idea how important this is for the city – let me tell you the last time something like this happened: It was March 16, 2023, when the Colts signed free-agent Gardner Minshew as their backup quarterback. Remember that? Remember what I wrote? Probably not, and it’s OK, but I wrote this, and I wrote it exactly like this:
Nope, the caps-lock button didn’t get stuck. That was me, shouting joyously at the obvious implication of Minshew’s signing six weeks before the 2023 NFL draft: The Colts wanted the best backup QB on the market, because they were going to roll the dice with the No. 4 overall pick on the incredibly talented but incredibly raw Richardson. I WAS RIGHT AND YOU’VE SEEN RICHARDSON SO YOU KNOW WHY I WAS SO HAPPY. Well, I was. And you have. And you do
And yes, I’m aware the Fever won the 2012 WNBA title. Can I ask you a question? What happened … next? Now let’s talk about Caitlin Clark, playing the next decade in downtown Indianapolis. Any idea what’s going to happen next?
