Hugglez.

I don't know if folks are necessariliy hating on the Colts so much as they're hating on Peyton, & hating on the Colts by proxy. Hating on Peyton = hating on a successful superstar, possibly the best player in the game (@ least @ his position) that hasn't proven he can win "the big game" or come through in the clutch WHEN IT MATTERS, with some IS HEY GHEY horseshit on the side. Meaning that hating on Peyton = hating on a likeable A-Rod.

Also, unless I'm cross-eyed & stupid, I've only seen one poster make one post about the Colts being overrated so far, and that was prior to Monday's whupping, after which said poster seemingly acquiesed (albeit w/ a "fnar Colts D is lame against one of the best NFL O" caveat). Unless there's a COLTS SUXXXXXXXXXX faction I'm not hep to, this ILNFL anti-Colt hoohah is overrated.

If there's any White Sox analog in the NFL this year, it's probably the Giants. (If only Tom Coughlin was Ozzie.)

tom coughlin is the anti-ozzie!

i would like peyton a lot more if he didn't do all that wild gesticulating and fake audible-izing before running plays. it's just annoying. also there's the story about him harrassing a female trainer at tennessee, which might or might not be true.

mookieproof (mookieproof), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 20:46 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't think it's necessarily the posters per se that is kind of like "OK wtf do the Colts gotta do here," it's a lot of different things. I mean I was just reading a recap of last nights game on ESPN today and they're all like, "Yeah whatever, no one cares, let's see who wins in the playoffs." Which of course before yesterday it was like, "Haha like they canbeat the Pats." I dunno, it is odd.

Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 21:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Ally, I think that in the national media the Colts were the overwhelming favorite to beat the Pats.

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 00:00 (eighteen years ago) link

I dunno, I agree with Ally. It always felt like whatever lipservice they gave to Petyon, it was just a way of getting to talk about that delightful young quarterback Tom Brady.

Anyway,I found this buried in the Kids section on Peyton's blog:

Kids Only > Puttin' Up with Peyton
Cooper Manning (older brother)

#2 - "Karate Career Cut Short"

When I was about six years old, I decided to take karate. After about two months, it was time for me to graduate from a white belt to a yellow belt. It was a big day! Two months of work, and the whole class was moving up. This was huge for a six year old!

The big day came, and Peyton and dad were in the crowd. There were fifteen students, and we had to pair off and fight each other. A friend of mine ended up without a partner after everyone paired up. You have to keep in mind that at age four, Peyton was what you may call a "chubby kid." He was over 12 pounds when he was born, and his baby fat hadn't worn away! Then again, Peyton didn't do a whole lot to lose it either! I'm sure he was scarfing down a Moon Pie or something while he was watching the match.

Finally, with a mouth-full of food, he gestures to my dad, "I'll fight him," talking about the kid who didn't have a partner. Of course my dad says ok, and Peyton, wobbles down to the mat in a pair of jeans, cowboy boots, and a country accent - looking and acting like a redneck. For some unknown reason, the karate instructor decided to let this completely random stranger out of the crowd go toe to toe with this six-year-old boy who's been taking karate for two months. Everybody just knew that Peyton didn't have a chance!

Well, the fight started and within six seconds, Peyton grabbed the kid and body-slammed him! No fancy karate moves, just plain body slammed him. The kid immediately started crying because he knew he had just gotten beat by some random kid who didn't know a thing about karate!

That day alone probably ended that kid's karate career. It also ended mineÑknowing I had been doing all this practicing for two months, and my "little" brother could probably still pick me up and body slam me! The best part was that Peyton didn't even think anything of what he had done--he just turned around and walked off the mat! He was just looking forward to getting back to the ice cream sandwich he was sucking down on the sideline!

Spoken like a true older brother...

Vegemite OTM - check out this recap of the Tuesday morning press on the MNF game.

Of course, Peyton's going to lose to Brady until he gets some rings:

Manning: thee great QB, drafted #1 (aka YOU MUST WIN NOW PRIMADONNA BOY), franchise savior, son of hard-luck NFL great (aka YOU MUST AVENGE ME PEYTON), kinda spazzy, stuck w/ shitty defenses for way too long but gets the blame for the team's one-dimensionality

Brady: 6th round pick, farting around in the background, OH NO PUNCTURED LUNG, lemme win some Superbowls for y'all, aren't I swell?, and so handsome too!, a True Team Player (Nice hair part, Chachi.)

David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 06:27 (eighteen years ago) link

You wouldn't know that the national media didn't think this was, at least, a totally evenly matched game from the way they were blabbering on ESPN/MNF pregame about it. Even in that segment where they list their five best teams, they ALL said, "My #1 is the Colts...well, probably not after tonight, but we'll see I guess." WTF?

Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 14:47 (eighteen years ago) link

wtf is that the team hasn't been able to beat them for years and also that they're desperately trying to up the ratings on what was most likely going to be a blowout anyway, so we get "THE GAME OF THE YEAR" on a pair of somewhat mismatched teams with crazy history.
What's the flava, flava? DON'T BELIEVE TH' HYPE

Like said previously/on other threads, it's not like sports media has like gone batshit for the colts since the game...there's a rather weird amount of grudgingness in their reply to the game...

Can I just say that thanks to this thread, I crack up every time I see Rofflesburger at gametime? After hearing his BBQ ads ("there is another 'q' that I am passionate about") and reading his somewhat inimitable "can-i-feed-the-rabbits-george" recaps ("Well, I thought it went very well, our new tight end is going to be good he was a little nervous which is to be expected, but he will be very good I do believe"), I can't help but imagine him having to make sure that he's throwing to the right team when he steps onto the field.
"Coach said after we were done, we're gettin' pizza!"
I love that knucklehead!

There is really not another person in the league that is as great as Ben Rofflesberger. If he came to post here, well I'd not believe it was him, but I'd be the happiest person in the world.

To be certain. You gotta love him.

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Thursday, 19 January 2006 03:10 (eighteen years ago) link

I have to say, his Fathead commercial is also the best. "How many walls does your room got? 2? 3? 4? 5? 6?" I mean, what type of houses has he been in? 2??? I mean a triangular room is one thing but 2 walls?? That's just a hallway, son.

Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Thursday, 19 January 2006 03:15 (eighteen years ago) link

the tricky part about Roethlisbertor is the fact that if you listen to him recap CERTAIN plays postgame at the press conferences he sounds like he's about 100x as smart as Manning or Brady or whoever. He's like "wellWhenYouputoutHines Wardontheplayactionthey'reallgonnagotoHines Ward asthegotoguybut wejust droppeditouttheretoMillerand Got the Touchdown"

It's like he's not even afraid to just basically read from the playbook week by week 'cause he knows Spitmaster Cowher is just gonna rewrite the package every Tuesday until the super Bowl.

Also, for Peyton, I think what he needs to do is just do something really out of sorts, he needs to go in front of the whole team and make them watch as he shaves his head, or lets his center shave his head, and they tell everyone he ain't cuttin' that shit again until he gets a ring.

TOMBOT, Thursday, 19 January 2006 03:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Maybe Peyton just needs to go have a lot fun sometimes and then it'd all be sorted. I mean, who doesn't like fun? Everyone needs to have a lot of fun. Just go out, stop being such a field general, and have a lot of fun. Seriously. I'm sure Eli has a lot of fun. I've seen pictures of Eli having a lot of fun. Peyton's hair isn't really a lot of fun but really it's gotta be his personality that's not a lot of fun when he keeps freaking out like so. Just have a lot of fun, it's a game, you know?

Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Thursday, 19 January 2006 03:57 (eighteen years ago) link

TOM, I agree with you, but it would be better if instead of his head, they went for the pubes.

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Thursday, 19 January 2006 03:58 (eighteen years ago) link

But then, I say that about most things. Including bar mitzvahs and c-sections.

They do shave your pubes for c-sections though.

Profootballtalk.com passes along "rumors" that suspended Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger was recently caught urinating on a Columbus (OH) golf course by a woman who supposedly now intends to press charges.

PFT's Mike Florio acknowledges that this is all rumor for now, and that the main source of the story is "multiple emails over the past two days." However, Florio does have a legitimate source who's confirmed Roethlisberger indeed was golfing in Columbus. The same source claims Big Ben was not the person urinating -- it was another member of Roethlisberger's foursome.
