Is the Pro-Bowl a Disruption?

Colts president Bill Polian had some harsh words for the NFL this week leading up to the Pro Bowl. The 7 Colts who were voted into the ProBowl of course will not be playing (like duh) but apparently they still have to make an appearance in order to earn the extra money associated with being selected for the ProBowl...


So the disruption comes because they have to fly to Miami (yes, we can call it Miami instead of "South Florida" guys), and fly back to Indy... and engage in all the antics surrounding the ProBowl activities.

On one hand, it's never good to change up a routine that got you here and it certainly seems like a waste/whole lotta hoop jumping. On the other, during regular season the players are used to flying to away games on the weekend. If the ProBowl activities include massive amounts of drinking and partying - it might not be the best conduct to engage in a week before the Superbowl (though I highly doubt that's the case).

Any thoughts?

2010 Superbowl Prediction

I hesitate to write out of superstitions... I don't want to jinx anyone! My gut tells me that the Colts are more likely to win on February 7th. When thinking about Peyton vs. Brees, I would have to go with Peyton.

But to quote my favorite player (Plaxico for you newbies), to win it takes heart:

"Throw Your Heart Over the Wall and Your Body Will Follow"

I believe the Saints are the better posed team to win this from the heart. My trip to New Orleans for the BCS game gave me a new respect for the city ... and an emotional attachment.

Let's go Saints.

Simulating a Snap!

Injuries + Peyton "Prettyboy" Manning + imperfect conditions = Colts loss.

The colts are a talented, strong team. But the San Diego defense wrecked Peyton tonight. Wow, if you didn't watch the game, I recommend you check out highlights on EPSN or NFL.com. Even so, i don't think anything can re-create the nail-biting excitement of this game.

Peyton's numbers were horrendous with five picks... ok, make that six (just happened in a hail mary but that's not really count)... and Vinatieri missed two field goal - including the game-winning field goal (only 25 yarder ish). Most clutch kicker of all time my-ass... no matter how indisputed by NFL analysts

Just when I thought the Colts had made their come-back, everything goes wrong for Indy.

Including a 'first down' being called back for a 'better placement' (i think that was a poor call personally) and a "simulating a snap" call. I actually looked up the rule for simulating a snap and it's really a 5-yard penalty if more than one player moves at the same time before the snap.

Home field advantage definitely helped San Diego, while Phillip Rivers did not. And I was underimpressed by LTD's performance. What happened dude?

Well that's the SNF update... WATCH THE HIGHLIGHTS!

'Til MNF....
