Doyel: Arm-ripping former Colts LB Barry Krauss has become an ... artist?

CARMEL – The question caught him by surprise, and so did his answer. Barry Krauss doesn’t know where they’d been hiding, but the words felt good when they came sprinting out of his mouth.

For so long he had denied one of his true gifts by immersing himself in others. There was football, of course. Krauss, who first joined the Indianapolis Colts broadcast team in 1992 and for years has worked their postgame radio show, played middle linebacker for the Colts from 1979-88 and for Alabama coach Bear Bryant before that, a first-round pick after making the most famous tackle in Alabama history in the 1979 Sugar Bowl.

MARK MONTIETH

He had the misfortune of being a good player on bad teams for most of his NFL career, but kept a professional attitude throughout the madness.

A member of the Colts when they Mayflowered it to Indianapolis in 1984, he suffered through Frank Kush’s boot camps – listen for the story of the teammate who dumped a drink on Kush’s head – and then Rod Dowhower’s knitting circles. He finally wound up on a playoff team, although one that lost in the first round, and finished his career in Cleveland and Miami.

Before all that, he was an All-American at Alabama who was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated for a game-saving tackle in the national championship game against Penn State. He was the Colts’ radio analyst with Joe McConnell for a few years, and has been part of the postgame radio shows in recent years.

Had he been in a better place at a better time, his career would have been far more rewarding. But he accepted his fate gracefully.
