The Indianapolis Colts #1 pick Marlin Jackson is being sued for $10 Million in a civil suit stemming from a 2003 incident in which Jackson hit a man (Shahin Farokhrany) with a bottle during an altercation at a Michigan party. Jackson pled guilty to hitting Farokhrany and received probation for his actions. Afterwards, Farokhrany expressed his willingness to move forward and not pursue civil action against Jackson. "Sometimes, people get drunk and make mistakes," he told the Ann Arbor News. Hopefully, he won't be hitting people in the face again." But money talks, and Farokhrany has since changed his mind and will be trying to get a piece of the rookie Jackson?s contract and future earnings.

Edgerrin James was absent for the Colts' mandatory practice, as he is demanding a long-term contract from the club. ``We're missing one guy,'' Dungy said after Friday's workout. He said he had spoken with James and understood why he hadn't shown up. ``It's a little disappointing to us.

When Edgerrin gets here, we'll go from there.'' Drew Rosenhaus, James' agent, declined to comment when reached Friday by The Associated Press. Rosenhaus had said in March that James was ``not enthusiastic'' about playing under a one-year contract and that he was negotiating with the Colts and other NFL teams. The contract offer the Colts made to James came after the team had signed

The Indianapolis Colts have signed another linebacker today adding Dominique Sims to the roster. The undrafted Sims, a four-time Academic All-American, will add to the already powerful Indianapolis linebacker corps. He can also fit in with the Colts' current theme of having versatile players. Sims converted from safety to outside linebacker during his career at Minnesota. Following his final game as a Golden Gopher, he said, "Being unselfish is the one word that I want to be remembered for the most."
