Well This Seems Rather Harsh
The "greater than" meme; so overworked and cliched that Combudsman Iracane banned it from this site more than a month ago. But over at ESPN, it's cutting edge. The Leader decided to use it in a hard-hitting feature about how Eli Manning has surpassed his brother as the more highly-regarded quarterback. As if that wasn't evident previously when, oh, just thinking out loud here, Eli won the Super Bowl. More » -

It's Very Hard To Be A Texans Fan Right Now
The good thing about being a quarterback in Houston is that there is virtually nothing you can do that will be bad enough to equal the worst collapse your fans have ever seen. That would have been in the 1993 playoffs, when the Bills came back from 32 points down in the second half to beat the Houston Oilers in overtime, 41-38. By comparison, Sunday's collapse to the Colts was nothing at all; just the mere loss of a 17-point lead in the final five minutes. Although the game did feature Sage Rosenfel's spectacular Helicopter Fail (video following the jump). You don't see something like that every day. More » -

Sunday Night Football: Bears-Colts
It's the second to last game of the first week of the season, of which there will be only two more this decade. It all takes place in venerable Lucas Oil Stadium. How effective will the Bears passing game be? Will we find out what a bursa sac is? How would John Madden solve the dispute between Russia and Georgia? Looks like you picked the wrong week to stop jumping.

Colts Fans Scalping Tickets to Free Tour of New Lucas-Oil Stadium
Hundreds of Indianapolis Colts fans lined up for free tickets to walk through the new Colts stadium. In a month. Now you can see why Indianapolis's advertising slogan is, "Like Detroit without the culture." Tickets to tour the stadium are going for as much as $75 online now. Some Colts fans were understandably peeved about their failure to get free tickets to walk inside an empty football stadium. More » -

Tony Dungy Has A Short Memory
Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy spoke with kids at a high school in Tampa on Thursday and apparently he was in a mood to foment him some controversy. And not in the usual "condemning o' the gays" way. Nope. He took a shot at the rival New England Patriots being embroiled in MattWalshGate. Nothing wrong with that. What was interesting was Dungy's willingness to gloss over accusations against his team. More » -

Patriots' Fans Have Delicate Sensibilities
Patriots fans were shocked and indignant when Anna Grant, 14, was booed for wearing a Patriots jersey at the AFC playoff game in Indianapolis on Sunday. Folks at the RCA Dome let her have it during the introduction of the Punt, Pass and Kick winners, where, it appears, even the Colts' mascot got into the act. Well, don't worry, New England Faithful. Patriots' owner Robert Kraft has given Anna and her family free tickets to this weekend'sslaughter of the ChargersAFC Championship Game, where she will be honored in some sort of ceremony. But even that isn't enough to placate Patriots' fans. More » -

Patriots Fail to Cover Spread, Claim Hollow Victory
• Was there ever any doubt? You could tell that it was just a matter of time before Tom Brady and Randy Moss could stick a dagger through the Indianapolis defense. For three quarters Tony Dungy's Colts controlled the field, but you can't keep a good man down long, and the same can be said of Bill Belichick. The Patriots crushed the spirits of the whitest crowd ever to witness a football game with a rather masterful fourth quarter comeback. The final score-a 13 yard touchdown reception by Kevin Faulk-came with over three minutes remaining in regulation, but Peyton's Manning's subsequent fumble put an end to any hope of killing the beast.

Raiders Fans Would Rather Look Elsewhere, Thank You
It's not easy being a Raiders fan. First off: What goes with black? Seriously! It's also difficult to find time to cheer, what with all the drinking of infant's blood.
