The Indianapolis Colts named a new head coach tonight. They have selected Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano. It is the first head coaching  job for Pagano, whose NFL career has included assistant positions with the  Oakland Raiders and Cleveland Browns  prior to his work with the Baltimore Ravens.

Pagano replaces Jim Caldwell who was fired last week after the Colts' 2-14 season. With so many losses, the Colts secured next season's number one draft pick. The Ravens ranked third in total defense  this year and allowed the third-fewest points in the NFL. We will just have to wait and see how the Colts do next year. What do you think about the choice of Pagano as head coach?

After yesterday's championship games, we now know that the New York Giants and New England Patriots are headed to Indianapolis in less than two weeks. My initial response was that at least those two teams and their fans will be used to cold weather and perhaps will be more comfortable in Indianapolis in February. I know many Colts fans are not enthusiastic about the Patriots and of course many feel that in lieu of Peyton playing, at least we get his little brother playing in the Super Bowl.

Either way, it's going to be good for our city to welcome those two teams and their fans to our city. I'm just curious - what do you think about these two teams playing in the Indianapolis Super Bowl?

Tiffany & Co. has done it. They have found a way to get men to flock to their jewelry store with their wives! Next Friday, January 27, the Vince Lombardi Super Bowl trophy will be on display at the Indianapolis Tiffany & Co. store from 10 - 11 a.m.  For one hour, visitors can view the trophy up close. The sterling silver trophy was created by Tiffany.

The 2012 Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee released the XLVI Indy Music Project - a music compilation of 46 songs, by 46 Indianapolis-area artists. The Music Project was part of the Culture and Arts Programs Committee and showcases Indianapolis' local talent.

The XLVI Music Project  is over three hours of music and is available at no cost for streaming and downloading at http://xlvi-indymusicproject.com.

"The project highlights not only some of the great acts you can see today, but some of the great musical groups which shaped Indy's music scene," said Dave Lawrence, president and CEO of the Arts Council of Indianapolis. "By keeping the Music Project online, we are able to create musical catalogue that can be expanded well after the big game."

The XLVI Music Project will be promoted to Super Bowl visitors through QR codes on coasters and printed materials in and around Super Bowl Village, The Huddle at Circle Centre Mall and Celebration Sites, and will be housed on the Musical Family Tree website after Super Bowl XLVI.
