Mike,

Peyton won a BIG ONE last week .

He has one more hurdle to cross to get a championship, but last Sunday's game was by all accounts one of the best games of all time.

As I said in your blog, I agree with your numbers, but reverse them .

Colts will win this game.

There were a lot of classless moments in the playoffs. I like Reggie Bush but taunting the defense as he headed to the end zone was really classless. Just as the Patriots are classless and I'm glad they lost.

I hope the Colts whip the Bears butts.

Excellent post, Rick, and there certainly is always a lot of hype between the championship game and the Super Bowl. (MacMahon sure was entertaining though

C-T, like that Shuffle!

The early point spread has the Colts favored by a touchdown. That's a sweet spot for the Bears to be in. It will take a lot of the pressure off them during the next two weeks of hype. The Bears (and Lovie Smith) have not received respect all season.

Here's a couple of little known facts about Lovie Smith. During the last couple games of the regular season they purposely changed their Defensive lineup to show weakness up the middle. This was for the benefit of... [ More ]

DD, granted these players and coaches had nothing to do with the move out of Baltimore, but when Isray was giving his little speech I thought, Oh this is rich.

Rick, to paraphrase the Super Bowl shuffle how about

Bring on New Orleans

Bring on Indianapolis

We're going to win it all

Yeah, CT.. I forgot about that , but like the players said, it has no bearing at all on todays games..I guess I was mostly referring to the coach and the players... sorry..........I forgot about ol Irsay.

It's in the past....it certainly didn't matter after kickoff in the divisional game....sort of like this media circus about the first two african american coaches-

I like what Tony Dungy said about it- he said the day we do NOT recognize it is the day we have truly made progress.............. [ More ]

Yeah, the Boston Patriots had more pizazz - and so did the old logo, the full body Minuteman

Hmm, not quite a first class organization considering the way they moved out of Baltimore. Isray hired moving vans and the the Indianapolis Colts left Baltimore at midnight, unannounced to all but those in the know.

Make for a real good rivalry between the Colts and the Ravens, sure but all in all it was a pretty low rent stunt to pull on the fans. That's why Tav... [ More ]

I am glad that the Colts won.

For Peyton, Tony Dungy , Marvin Harrison , and even Joseph Addai - a first class organization from top to bottom.

The Pats had their run and I am glad it's over.

Belichick is an ass.

Did you see the way he brushed Peyton off ?

LaDanian Tomlinson had a point.............

I understand. I've never gotten used to the Indianapolis Colts either.

I'm from Boston!

I still haven't recovered from the official team name change when they moved to Foxboro. I was never a big football fan, but if you grew up in Boston you'd understand. It would be like changing the name to the Midwest Bears.

The NFC playoff games were appallingly bad this year. The best game of the playoffs was yesterday's Pats - Colts game. Thank goodness the Colts won so we don't have to listen to all the hype about New England dynasty .

Congrats to Da-Bears!!! Personally, i thought the NFC was the weakest it's been in yr's., with the exception of Chicago Naw'lings. Truly, pulling for Peyton the Colt's in the Bowl though.

I wish they were real bears. Then I would pray for them. Those beautiful brown bears are almost extinct.

However, I do admire your dedication to a sport where men jump on top of each other, squat and put their hands between the other guys legs, pat each other on the butt cheek and then hug and shower together.

Coin Toss...this brought tears to my eyes..... .

Your inspiration is truly moving...Papa is looking down on you with pride.

I am printing copies of it and all tailgaters must kneel before the TV altar and recite this before kickoff. (It'll go well with the incense and Jesus candle).

Thank you for a blessed addition to Chicago's pre-game ceremonies.

DA BEARS PRAYER

Our Papa,

Who art a Bear

hallowed be thy fame,

Thy championship come,

Thy play be run,

At home as it is away,

Give us this day our Sunday win,

And forgive us our turnovers,

Though we pounce on those who turnover against us,

And lead us not into fourth and long,

But deliver us from Krenzel

In the name of Ditka,

Butkus,

and the Holy Payton

As it was in 1985

So it shall be in 2007

Reign without end

DAAAAAMEN
