I thought the Colts were supposed to be paragons of virtue, defending the League, America and the World against the evil Patriots?
So what's up with their "crowd noise" CD skipping during the game?
What will Dungy and Polian say about that? Holier than who?
The Patriots, who prepare for Sunday's midseason Super Bowl against the 7-0 Colts, have redefined pissed off. No one thought better of poking the bear earlier in the season, when the media and other NFL players took shots at the Patriots for Videogate, questioning their championships and calling them cheaters — even though New England engaged in a practice as common as corsages at the prom.
But like a man once told my trash-talking momma after he whipped her in a game of pool: "Ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun."
The NFL world is considerably brighter since the Patriots assumed the role of the strapped rabbit.
The piece is FULL of great writing and a lot of "yup!" points* on top of the humor. Check it out:
Hill: Just call him Suge Belichick
*at least from the perspective of a Patriots fan.
The whole post is great, but the opening is especially funny to me:
How's this for a four-game stretch of NFL greatness?
W, 49-14W, 41-10
W, 41-9
W, 51-24
That quartet of one-sided scores comes to you courtesy of the 2004 Indianapolis Colts from a November-December period during which Peyton Manning and Co. annihilated the Texans, Bears, Lions, and Titans, respectively. And, you know it's funny, I don't remember one person whining about them running up the score.

See what I missed while I was away?
Priceless.
