Vive La Colts!

Ya gotta feel bad or Peyton Manning, cuz his honeymoon's over. Beating the Pats was a huge thing in his life, although I'd say he needs to do it one more time in a really meaningful game before we can call the monkey off his back. But, and this will spark some debate, defense wins championships. And right now, the Bears' defense is frightening. Not to mention their SOLID running game (better than the Pats I'd say) and ground chewing offensive tanks. People forget that Jim McMahon was only an above average quarterback lo these many moons ago (heck, Big Ben last year was the same type of situation for the Steelers); he didn't have a strong arm and wasn't all THAT accurate, but those Bears had a nasty defense, a great running attack, and a team that just didn't screw up. So you heard it here first folks; Bears 24 - Colts 17.

As for those calls, I missed those plays because of my honey-do list at the time, but the No Fun League is crippling the players. Incidental contact to the head should run the same line as inadvertent facemask; 5 yard penalty. As for "obstructing the view of the receiver" I've got to ask the same question; isn't that what they are SUPPOSED to do? Confusing...

In "I would have soiled my pants and died screaming in fear", check out the following:

SYDNEY, Australia - A diver escaped a 10-foot shark’s attack by poking the animal in its eye after it had already chomped on his head once and was preparing for another bite, witnesses and officials said Tuesday.
Eric Nerhus, 41, was flown to a hospital with serious injuries to his head, body and left arm after the attack Tuesday off Cape Howe, about 250 miles south of Sydney.
The shark grabbed Nerhus by the head, crushing his face mask and breaking his nose, said Dennis Luobikis, a fellow diver who witnessed the attack.
Eric, you are my hero! After having your HEAD BITTEN BY A SHARK, you still had the courage and presence of mind to poke it in the eye?! Holy shit dude...

So the Big Tuna left Big D...am I the only one who expects Terrell Owens to come out with something BIG and STUPID to put the limelight back on himself? :)

Barry Bonds says that both Pete Rose and Mark McGwire belong in the Hall of Fame...I wonder if he is setting up the public relations talk for when HE is up for election? Time will tell...
