Colts Week 1


I know, it's not Brees v. Manning, it's two teams playing eachother. But, it is two high-powered offenses squaring off with two of the best signal-callers in the game at the helm for each team.

Tonight, actually, this afternoon, Faith Hill and the NFL broadcasting team roll into Indianapolis for a ridiculous carnival of events not related to football...as well as the NFL season opener.

I'll be honest, I like Peyton Manning. But at one point, I would have left my wife and started an alternative lifestyle with Drew Brees. Now that I have a kid and he's moved to the South it just won't work. As a result, I'm a lot more level-headed since I'm not blinded by my man-crush.

I'll be going with the home team to pick up a victory this evening. I'm picking the Colts to win by forcing the Saints into an arms race that they can't win...Colts 37 Saints 28

I look for the undersized & young Colts defense to play better than most think it can, especially down the stretch. Last thing, before the NFL gets into full-swing, the Patriots and Belichick can suck it. I think they've made a few deals with the devil (i.e. Randy Moss) that will end up biting them in the arse before the season's up. I still think that Brady might be the best overall quarterback in the league, but chemistry is still important. Hiring a bunch of mercenaries doesn't always bring you a championship- just ask the Yankees. (oh no he di-int)

Or sometimes it does work... like with the 2004 Sox!

The NFL Thursday night kickoff was here a few years ago and my brother and I went to it (Giants against somebody) and it was just lunacy. Such overkill, like it's the damn Super Bowl. We certainly don't need two spectacles like that to bookend the season. At least they got a terrific matchup together.

wow, 2 posts in a row without bashing Notre Dame. I guess you don't have to rename this thing "notredameisruiningmylife.blogspot.com"

I could get used to this. Keep up the good work, and how about the BB recruit Painter won over Butler, ND, and (sadly) IU.

MJS- I don't ever trust verbals that are a year off. A lot can happen to a kid that's 17 in a year that can change his mind. Who knows, maybe he'll find a big bag of cash from his buddy Kelvin...Point is- I don't believe it until it's in writing. That said, it's good to hear because Byrd sounds like a good fit and a good get.

Speaking of your other team- Did you hear that UND is a 17 point dog? Could be even worse. That's fun stuff.

I love it when people misinterpret our hating an overrated program that's a true geographical rival as us feeling like they ruin our lives. Far from it... in fact, ND makes our lives so happy because each loss is cause for celebration.

I watched the 4th quarter of the game last night. I think the Saints were watching too. Brees looked like he did in some of his Purdue games - trying to do too much. But since his team wasn't doing much at that point...
