All right, so I’ve gone on and on about unveiling a forthcoming all-Colts, all-the-time blog. So sue me, I’m waffling on the whole idea. Probably not going to happen. It was basically, an effort to get a mention on Deadspin. Meh.
This space, however, will now begin to feature Colts rants interspersed with Cubs, Hawkeyes, and forthcoming Syracuse rants. Consider, the current Colts moratorium lifted, due to the onset of Monday’s mammoth Pats-Colts tilt — I’m still not totally sold on a brand-new Colts, but, I’m admittedly a devout believer up to this point.
Consider, however — in case you’re not already jacked for Monday’s game in FoxBORO -
1. The Patriots still get all the calls.
Somehow Eric Moulds was flagged for an inexplicable pass-interference call last night, as the Patsies came back to defeat the Bills at home. (I know, that fucking Foxboro magic). This only happens to the Patriots. Coupled with the bizarre tendencies of officials to call everything during crunch time this season — well, let’s just say I’m not excited for the flags flying as the Colts attempt to wrest themselves free from Patty d-backs or to pass-block Willie %^#$ McGinest. (Seriously, that guy kills us.)
2. Bruschi’s back.
I legitimately detest this prick. I’m attempting to avoid all the gushing “stroke/redemption/fighter/great man” press that surely is everywhere after his return to the gridiron last Sunday. Yeah, congrats. Tedy’s healthy. Good. Fine. It wouldn’t be complete or justice if the Colts didn’t finally beat these bastards without Public Enemy Number One.
I’ll avoid talking any more about Tedy-ous (But if he can take cheap shot after cheap shot ….). But to close, I’d promise more insightful analysis leading up to this game than just a potshot at my least favorite NFL player, however, I’m not yet in that zone. I wouldn’t expect any different from TB this Monday. (Man, I HATE these guys.)
Hopeful Prediction (Monday): Colts 23, Patriots 16.
