How about them Colts

You know, the last couple of weeks have been pretty good as far as sports are concerned. I know over in Washington, D.C. things are kind of shaky. I'll get to all that political stuff at another post.

Right now, it's all about sports. Right now, it's all about the Colts.

The only undefeated team in the NFL should be re-labeled as the best team yet to be tested. If you look at a 16 game schedule, there will undoubtedly, for good teams anyways, be "soft patches"; that is, there will be a six game stretch of not so hard teams. Sometimes good teams are tested early, or sometimes good teams are tested late. For the Colts, they will be tested late and often. They have six hard games left on their schedule. That is to say, they are guaranteed three more wins, giving them 10 wins by default. The six hard games will begin dramatically against the team that has been giving them fits over the past couple of seasons. Monday, November 7, 2005.... will be a day that will live in..... alright, maybe im being overdramatic, but that monday night game will determine how those six games are going to go. If the colts win big, then they'll go 5-1 against the big six (NE, PIT, JAX, SEA, CIN, and SD). If they lose big, they'll go 3-3, and if it's either a close loss or win, they should get four games.

Having said that, there are certain things that need to be worked on during these next two weeks that they have off. First of all, when in doubt, give the fucking ball to Edgerrin James. You know, the most valuable and disrespected player ever. I mean, this guy is the reason why the colts aren't 5-2. He's the reason why the Colts went 13-3 during his first year. There's a reason why he has two rushing titles, going on three. There's a reason he runs for more than a hundred-yard games during his career than anyone. There's a reason why he'll win the super bowl MVP. I guarantee you now, and im sure this post will seem dated in a couple of weeks, that if James rushes for more than 110 yards and a touchdown, the colts will win easy. If not, there'll be trouble for Manning, 'cause I assure you the Patriots are gunning for the Colts. They seem to get their kicks from beating Indy. They have a chance of knocking them off the rank of undefeated, which is the next best thing to knocking them off the playoffs.

If you ask me, it should make for great television.
