Immokalee's Edgerrin James to join Colts' Ring of Honor
Special from the Naples Daily News:
Edgerrin James wasn't around to celebrate Indianapolis' Super Bowl title with his former teammates.

The Colts said Tuesday that the unconventional running back that ran for a franchise-record 9,286 yards will join the greatest names in Indy history on Sept. 23 when the Colts host Jacksonville.
