Colts 27 REDSKINS 24 Gold Pants 1-2

Another Washington Redskins game came down to the very end, but, this one did not go the burgundy & gold’s way. That sort of thing happens when you keep dropping Peyton Manning interceptions. The burgundy and gold did better than I expected — I said they would score 17 and they got 24. I was [...]

Redskins vs. Colts prediction and Q&A with my friend David

It has been fun over the last two weeks getting guest prognosticators to talk about the Washington Redskins opponent. However, this week I don’t have an opposing fan — I don’t know any Indianapolis Colts fans and I don’t think I want to either. A bitter Baltimore Colts fan would have been good, but I [...]

The Band That Wouldn’t Die looks good

I have a soft spot for the Baltimore Colts.
While my antipathy towards Baltimore’s baseball team is well documented, I have said on a few occasions that the Colts moving out of Baltimore is probably the worst franchise relocation in professional sports history. The fans were great, the team had great, memorable players and a marching [...]

25 years ago, the Colts were taken from Baltimore

On March 29, 1984, Robert Irsay moved the Colts out of Baltimore under the cover of darkness to Indianapolis, an unworthy destination. In observance of the anniversary, the Sun has a number of articles in Baltimore Colts section that basically say “let’s get over it already.” Yes, there is a bit of irony in those [...]

NFL Wild Card weekend predictions

HOME team capitalized
Philadelphia Eagles over MINNESOTA VIKINGSPhilly is hot and can probably put off the inevitable meltdown at least a week. That game is not yet sold out either, shame on you Minnesotans.
ARIZONA CARDINALS over Atlanta FalconsKurt Warner finds a way to win one more playoff game, the first home game for the Cards since [...]

Super Bowl XLI live-blogging (for a while at least)

PREGAME
Audio/Video problems — must be the weather
Billy Joel didn’t butcher the anthem which is saying a lot since its Billy Joel.
This year’s Jessica Simpson ad for Pizza Hut is not as annoying.
More later
COIN TOSS
Too many captains for the Bears.
Why would you let the kicker call the toss?
KICKOFF
Gee, where have we seen this before? Hopefully, it’ll [...]

Super Bowl XLI live-blogging?

I have not decided if I am going to live-blog the Super Bowl. It was fun last year, so we’ll see if I do an encore.
I was not able to go to a party we had been invited to for reasons I may mention later in the week, but the upside is I won’t have [...]

Super Bowl prediction

As much as I would like to pick the Bears, I fear they will fall short against Indy. Peyton Manning has made a career out of choking in big games, but every now and then people like him get lucky. I would not be surprised to see da Bears win since they have been dismissed [...]

New England Patriots: You have let me down

The Patriots have brought shame to the Northeast corridor by losing to Indianapolis. You could have saved the world from even more Peyton Manning commercials, another stinking dome team in the Super Bowl and probably some nonsense about the “heartland” fans.
Go Bears!

"The city of Baltimore just got a black eye"

That’s the text message MC Hamme sent me last night. Since Erica and I were hosting Grandma, my brother and his fiancee last night, I did not get to watch the Baltimore vs. Indy showdown. I’m glad I didn’t since there were no touchdowns scored and the Ravens blew it. D’oh!
