Two former Indianapolis Colts have joined forces with The Tyros LLC, a start-up technology company in Indianapolis.

John Standeford, a 2004 Purdue University graduate who still holds the Big Ten record for career yards accumulated, has joined The Tyros as head of business development. Standeford was a member of the 2006-07 Colts team that won the Super Bowl.

“Being a part of a team has always been important to me, and I like the team atmosphere of The Tyros,” he said. “I believe in the product, which speaks for itself, and I see great potential. We are a company that is going to change the sports industry forever.”

Another former Colt and vice president of the NFL Alumni Association’s Indianapolis chapter, Gary Padjen, has been elected to The Tyros Board of Advisors.

The Tyros offers an online training system for sports officials, a universal rating system that could also be used for certification, and an electronic scheduling system that will match officials’ qualifications with needs of game schedulers, and an automated payment system allowing game organizers to more efficiently pay officials, said the company’s CEO, Tony Monteleone.

Later this summer, the tech company plans to move its headquarters to Shelbyville’s new Intelliplex Technology Park.

  1. Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.

  2. Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.

  3. I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.

  4. The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.

  5. I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
