I've just started an active shit list, and Adven is all the way at the top of it (I consider him a ringleader) followed closely by all who are talking trash about my Colts. Can't a sister get a break? They're good kids who have worked hard, and none of them were on the team when it moved. Pout.

I figured it was ok, since Granny didn't light me up for the first one.

I know, GAL, we are illogical here.

It occurred to me after I posted, why am I against the Colts because of Payton/Tennessee and the Sneaky Move, yet I like the Titans who are based in Tennessee and also had a Move that caused Resentment?

I'm sorry I'm on the top of your shit list, though. I'll root for the Colts the same day Mocha and Tabby root for the 'Skins. How's that for a compromise?

Well, my thoughts on this will have to wait as we are fixing to leave to go to eat dinner. But I want to make sure of one thing................

GAL, go straight to your room and I'll be there as soon as I get back to wash your mouth out with soap!!

Local news just showed whole press conference with Gibbs and he actually GIGGLED when talking about the Cowboys great defense and that "we" may not even get a yard next year. 63 year old legend GIGGLING - gotta love it.

Ok here are my thoughts on the upcoming football games. I am a true blue Colts fan!! I hope they beat the socks off the Chiefs and then go on and do whatever is necessary to win the Super Bowl. You can say want you want to about Peyton but he really has the stuff that it takes to keep the Colts in the game. This is a kid I've watch play football since he was a scraggly kid in high school. He is just as super off the field as he is on the field.

But besides the personal side of this, just let me say this started out as a very young team when everybody else had the heavy hitters. I think they are just now coming into their own. Tony Dunga has done a marvelous job of letting this team come together in their own way. The more they play together the better they get and I think they are just hitting their stride right now.

There are several teams out there who could, given the right circumstances, beat any one of the other teams. When one team shows up and the other one doesn't, it doesn't matter much who really has the best team overall. All that matters that day is who shows up and who doesn't.

I know a lot has been said about the "home crowd" advantage. But I've seen a lot of games that the visiting team has silenced many a "home crowd" and that became an insignifcant factor. Football is football and the team that is playing really well on any given day will ultimately come out on top. I just hope that my Colts are the ones that show up and play football and are the ones that come out on top.

GO COLTS!!!!!

This is not meant to offend, just to explain.

You know, I seldom admit this, but I lived in Indiana for about a year and a half when I was getting my masters degree. I realized two weeks into my stay there that I could not take it, so I started planning my escape quickly. I went back to Philadelphia every chance I got. I had deli food FedEx-ed to me because I couldn't find any Jewish soul food in Bloomington (or Indianapolis, for that matter) and all these things soured me on the whole state: I thought I'd LIKE livig in a small town like Bloomington, but instead I became so depressed. And clothes shopping? Forget it. [If I sound like Paris Hilton here....well....so be it! ]

Peyton was drafted when I lived there. He has that hokey accent I used to hear from people in the southern part of the state (to my admittedly untrained ear) and the team, those first couple years, was terrible. I think one year they went 1-15 and nonetheless a caller on the local NBC station told a player "we love you anyway" after the season was over. For that he waited on hold? Blech.

I think Peyton has a great PR guy. I've never seen a player who had to change virtually every play at the line of scrimmage. Ever. It makes me believe he is thinking too much. Or something. That he--and let's face it, Tony Dungy--have consistently come up so small in the playoffs just makes me think I am right. You never bet against Dungy, Manning (or Jim Mora, first with New Orleans, then with Indianapolis) to do things right in a playoff game. You can be pretty sure they will screw it up somehow. Look what Dungy did with the Bucs: loss after loss after loss with a team that should have won Super Bowls, and did after he left.

End rant.

I think the Panthers just might bite the Rams in the butt this weekend. Bulger is NOT a high-quality quarterback, IMHO, and he will do what he usually does: throw an interception at the wrong time.

Back to my Philly roots. I love Dick Vermiel. He's all over billboards in my former hometown. We love to see him win.

I'm hoping for an Iggles/Pats SB. I hate to admit it, but I expect the Pats to win that game. That defense is just TOOOOOOO good. And Tom Brady is soooooooooo cute.

Me very sowwy Pamy.

Like I said, I don't mean to offend anyone with that. I try to save my offensiveness for my N&V contributions.

Funny how some teams can be forgiven for their Move and the Colts cannot. Haven't the Raiders moved back and forth enough times?

Anyway the Colts have been at Indy a long time now and have earned a new respect even from the old timer fans. You are not a real fan if you don't root for your team even under the worst circumstances.

I am a C O L T FAN, and have been even when they were trying to get their lineup filled with players who could make it a real team. I even rooted for them when Peyton wasn't the quarterback. I rooted for them when I knew their playing s*cked, and I think they deserve to be in the playoffs this year.

You may root for the team of your choice and I will root for mine without putting your team down. I think that's only fair.

I just saw on ESPN that the gametime temperature for the Titans/Pats game will be 5 Farenheit, with a wind chill of -15! This game promises to be one of the most fun games since the "tuck bowl" a couple years ago.

I heard something by Sean Salsbury (ex QB) on ESPN last night. I think he made a good point about a couple things concerning the cold weather. The one I hadn't thought of has to do with substitutions. He indicated that a team who does a lot of substituting could be at a big disadvantage in really cold weather.

If you are on the field for awhile, your energy is up, you don't feel the pain of the cold and the hits in the cold as much, you are focused on the game. You are also more likely to feel warmer from all the energy you use to play.

After being on the side lines, your mind is thinking about keeping warm, and less about the game. You are more likely to make mistakes and to be affected by the things that happen as a result of the cold.

The Pats substitute freely all during the game. The Titans tend to play fewer players.

That is a good point, Lance. I know how "warm weather teams" are apt to do worse in outdoor stadiums in cold temperatures, but I never thought about the rotation effect!

All I can say is, "Brrrrrr!" The coldest game I have ever sat through is probably a VA Tech game that was in the 20s. I went to a HS state championship game where the temps were in the 30s/40s, but it was POURING rain and we were all soaked to the skin. That game FELT colder than anything else I have ever sat through. It was worth it, though, as my team kicked butt up and down the field!

I think I said that we could count on Mark Bulger to throw an interception at the wrong time.

Thanks for making me look prophetic, Mark.

This Pats/Titans game makes me wish I had something to drink in my apartment!
