To honour the NO win

I'm gonna go shoot someone and then piss in the street.

Betcha Shane's Already Blogged About How Cool This Is...

Let me check... Wow. Nope, he ain't.

So Indianapolis is getting the Super Bowl in 2012. Whoopee shit. They're still going to tax us 2% on all food purchases on TOP of our newly-increased "normal" sales tax.

Watch, Hoosiers. Now we're going to hear all about how "Indy doesn't have enough hotels!". And there will be tax abatements and subsidies for builders to expand our hotel capacity for the Super Bowl.

Never mind that we already host the Indianapolis 500 which holds more than three times the capacity of the Lucas Oil Stadium. No, our asshole pols will find good reason to waste more taxpayer dollars "for our own good".

And we're still not going to get our money's worth out of the taxpayer money going to that fucking eyesore of a new stadium. Bastards. I'd just as soon direct a small meteor to take the damn thing out. Preferably with Irsay and his crony politicians inside.

Plus, it's FUGLY and dominates our skyline. It looks so out of place driving around downtown.

For a town with such an insecurity complex about being a big city that seems too small, this really just makes it worse.

Priceless!

The Good Vs. Evil Football Game Review - Second Half

I'm not happy about us losing. But just like with the Cleveland game where Lofton was called out when he wasn't, I would not have been happy winning with the biased ref-ing in this game.

I felt it was very much lopsided in the Colts favor.

Good game, but ruined by shitty calls.

Despite Peyton's Commercial Over-Exposure

That "Priceless Pep Talks" commercial was really funny.

I don't begrudge Peyton making tons of endorsement dough. I do hate that he does so many suck-ass commercials.

I hope more of his future ones are like this one.

The Good Vs. Evil Football Game Review - First Half

Pre-game
Jason texts me "Go Pats!". Thanks, Jay!

1st quarter

12:36 God awful "reception" by the Colts called by the ref with the perfect POV. How hard is that job? How much more do they need to pay for good refs?

I have to wonder if the NFL WANTS the Colts to win to punish the "evil" Pats.

10:15 (not even sure about the time) I have to wonder this ref'ing even further, maybe. That looked like offensive pass interference but my Mom was over here distracting me from the game at that precise moment. And I am without Tivo.

2nd quarter - around 9:00 awful pass interference call on Hobbes. The NFL's refs are starting to look as pathetic and biased as the NBA's.

I WOULD Echo This Sentiment...

but I'd be lying. I'm too cheap!

Bounty On Tom Brady's Knees!

(Hat tip to Jeanne over at Vox's blog for the link!)

This one goes out to Dave & Jay!

For the record, I'm really worried about this next game. I hope the Colts pull it off, but the Patsies are looking f'in tough.

Shane got me thinking...

I have bad sleeping habits. I try to wake up for the Colts games on Sundays, I'm semi-successful. Therefore, I didn't see the whole thing Shane mentioned on his blog. Or maybe I was getting lunch at that point. I don't know.

Anyway... Shane said the fans should be mad at Peyton because Peyton got mad at the Colts home fans for making too much noise while the Colts were on offense.

Shane was comparing this to getting mad at a retarded thug bitch Stephen Jackson for being an idiot outside the basketball arena.

A few thoughts: How can ANY fan get mad at Peyton? He was TRYING TO WIN A GAME at the time. The fans were screwing the offense up and interfering with his audible calling on the line. Now, this was because of a replay shown on the Jumbo-trons. The fans are going to react to the (maybe) bad play calling, but I can't see anyone getting mad at Peyton for his reaction. That's just a silly way to look at it.

Shane's confusing a thirst to win with getting into a life-threatening scuffle at a strip club while he's supposed to be training, as Reggie said. Like I said, silly.

Another aside: The Colts are getting way too lucky. They deserve to be at .400 or .600 the way they've played this season thus far. But okay, that's football. They're undefeated, but I doubt they'll past the first round of playoffs*.

* ---- That they play in, that is. The Colts may get so lucky as to get the first round bye week again. And that worked sooooo well for them before, right?

But anyway, at what point does the home crowd noise become too much of an advantage? Should the NFL go to in helmet radios? I don't know. But sometimes the home team advantage seems to be just too much.

And is there anything to keep a team ownership from maximizing crowd noise via the stadium architecture? I would think it would be easy to do so. Are there regs against that, either?

Hmmmmm...
