Indy Takes Down New England

January 21, 2007 · Filed Under Sports 

Let’s call it bittersweet for me.

One hand, I am extremely happy for my wife. craigandjen.jpg
Other hand, unhappy that it isn’t my team. frye.jpg
One hand, happy to see a new Super Bowl matchup. patriots.jpg
Other hand, can’t possibly imagine how many Peyton Manning commercials we are going to see over the next few weeks. manningcommercial.JPG

One hand, happy to have any kind of interest in the Super Bowl. superbowlxli.JPG

Other hand, sad because it isn’t my horrendous Browns. couch.jpg
The only good news? Pitchers and catchers report soon enough, and Jen doesn’t root for a baseball team! clevelandindians.jpg

    In my continuing effort to root for the underdog, i hereby declare: Da Bears.

    Kinda funny how that works. The team that played a close one and had to come back is the favorite, while the team that plastered its opponent with suffocating defense is the underdog.

    What is that old saying? Defense wins championships. Apparently everywhere but in Vegas.

    Right now, the Colts are considered a 7 point favorite. I imagine that will end up being closer to a field goal by game time.

    Indy’s defense didn’t show up all year, and their offense hadn’t shown up in three weeks until the second half against New England.

    This should be a decent matchup, I think.

    I bet $50 on heads for the coin toss.

    Hey, hey, hey! Don’t forget that one of the Peyton Manning commercials (the one where the ball is thrown through the front window) was shot just a block from our house, at the home of people we know, so we have a lot of neighborhood pride on this subject and are just happy no matter how often we see it! And today, I am just generally very happy because last night I saw one of the most interesting and amazing games of my life and this morning, I woke up in a world where THE COLTS ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!!!!!!!

    wait… do you mean the one with the paperboy throwing the paper through the window - then he tells the kid “you’ve still got the best arm” or something?

    if so, nice neighborhood.

    Correct, Kiddicus, and thanks! Right after the “moooovers” lose control of the piano. He says something like, “I still say you’ve got the best arm in the neighborhood”, which, wait!… That’s a real slap in the face to those of us in the neighborhood with tremendous athletic ability of our own, isn’t it? Who does he think he is?!

    If you become too accepting of a condition that you really don’t want to encourage, you might just end up with unintended consequences.
