The Indianapolis Colts will have an interesting QB battle this season.
In the meantime, they can blow off some steam and make the most of the NBA frenzy in town.
As shown by James Boyd on X, Anthony Richardson was one of many celebrities in attendance at the Indiana Pacers’ Game 6 win over the New York Knicks.

Caitlin Clark, Pat McAfee, Timothee Chalamet, Ben Stiller, and Spike Lee were also regular presences sitting courtside.
Richardson’s time with the Colts hasn’t gone well, but judging by the cheering crowd, the fans seem to still believe in him.
Ironically, that might not be the case with his team.
The Colts spent a lot of money to get Daniel Jones in town.
And when you overpay for an ever-struggling quarterback who was cut midway through the season, it might be a sign of a lack of confidence in who you have right now.
Granted, it’s not like Richardson has done much to help his case, and even Jones might be an upgrade over him at this point in his career.
Richardson is perhaps the biggest, fastest, and most athletic quarterback in the league, but it takes much more than that to succeed in the league.
His subpar accuracy and decision-making are major concerns, and while he needs more reps and experience, perhaps he could also benefit from some time on the sidelines before being ready to take the field.
He’s got the physical tools to be among the best players in the game, but he will most likely be kept on a short leash in Year 3.
