Super Bowl Week Is Taking A Toll On Tony Dungy
You know, the stress of Super Bowl week — of preparing your team for battle in the midst of an insane media circus and, uh, strippers who come bearing cocaine — can take a toll on NFL coaches. (Poor Bill Callahan looked like he'd just gone through a disturbingly primal fraternity initiation.)...

Deconstructing Bear Vs. Colt
A shocking result in Tuesday's episode of Bear vs. Colt . With the score tied at two wins apiece, neither of them won! In a move that the real Indianapolis Colts would do well to study and reflect upon (we have no trouble at all imagining Peyton Manning choking in similar fashion), Colt seems to hav...

Tony Dungy's Rabid Fan Base
From all accounts, Indianapolis Colts Tony Dungy is as honorable a man as you'll find in the world of sports, revered by many and respected by all. He has, of course, also had his suffered his fair share of personal tragedy as well....

Somebody's Gonna End Up With A Rather Lousy Highlight Video
Over at The NFL Shop, you don't have to sift through a week of Super Bowl overexposure. They've not only decided who won, they've even put out the championship DVD....

I Think It's Jim Sorgi In The Colt Costume
Bear vs. Colt is an inspired bit of Super Bowl silliness. Every day between now and the Super Bowl, they post a new video with a Bear vs. Colt battle, with a guy in a bear costume going toe to toe in some manner against a guy in a colt costume....

Heavens, What About Peyton's Carpometacarpal Joint?
You can tell we're just about to turn the corner and start ratcheting up the Super Bowl XXXXI coverage lunacy when the condition of a man's thumb is receiving Zapruder-level scrutiny. Peyton Manning, who has had a seeming otherworldly ability to avoid injuries throughout his career, is playing all c...

A Handy Guide For Super Bowl XXXXI Reporters
The endless loop of Super Bowl XXXXI coverage is about to begin, and we like to consider ourselves the Mainstream Media's Little Helpers. We're about to all be deluged with a flood of human interest stories — we can use that metaphor because the Saints lost — so we thought we'd make it easier on all...

AFC Blogdome: A Colt From The Blue
What they're saying in Blogopolis after Sunday's AFC championship game (predictably, Stampede Blue has wasted no time going to the Karate Kid photos) ......

Peyton Manning, An Image Now In Need Of An Upgrade
A confession to make: We like dynasties. We don't like them because it's fun to watch one team win everything, because it isn't. We like them because they provide clear, distinct rooting interests and fault lines. The Patriots always beat the Colts, Peyton Manning can't figure out the Patriots, one ...

Patriots vs. Colts, AFC Championship Game: 4th Quarter
- Not to go all Bill Simmons on you, but what we have here—a one score conference championship game with two of the best quarterbacks in the game—is pretty damn sweet....

Patriots vs. Colts, AFC Championship Game: 3rd Quarter
- Terrence Wilkins gets crunched by Larry Izzo on the opening kickoff of the second half....

Patriots vs. Colts, AFC Championship Game: 2nd Quarter
- It'll be a 3rd and 1 for the Pats when the 2nd quarter starts. I think they've got to get the ball to Logan Mankins here....

Patriots vs. Colts, AFC Championship Game: 1st Quarter
- I'm not really into trophy presentations, so I think I'll go ahead and switch the channel. On the other hand, I'm not really into Dan Marino interviewing Tom Brady, either. Hey, college wrestling on CSTV. Sweet....

AFC Championship Pants Party: Colts Vs. Patriots
All right, Colts-Pats. We'll take it. It's a canned storyline, but it's still a fun one ... particularly if Peyton Manning has to drive the Colts down the field with less than two minutes and the Pats up by, like, four. That sounds amazing....

Hmm ... Whom Do We Dislike More?
Kissing Suzy Kolber tackles a question we've been struggling with ourselves: Whom are we supposed to root against in the AFC Championship Game this weekend?...

The Only Time Peyton Manning Will Ever Be Associated With Hip-Hop
Not excited enough yet about the Colts hosting the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game next week? It's Peyton Manning against his old nemesis again! Come on!...

We Will Never Rid Ourselves Of The Colts
We wrap up our roundup posts of the weekend's games with the most boring game of the weekend: The Colts' dreary win over the Ravens. Despite not having the best game, Peyton Manning was squawking afterwards about not getting respect, or something, but the main thing he did right Saturday was not bei...

Colts vs. Ravens, 4th Quarter
- 2nd and 25 now, after a holding penalty on Ogden. A short completion leaves then with 3rd and 18, and at least getting into field goal range would be huge here. Again, it's short to Mike Anderson....

Colts vs. Ravens, 3rd Quarter
- We are back underway... the statistics by these two teams in the first half are remarkably similar. The different is six Colt points off two turnovers. I hope the second features one or more of those "touchdown" things....

Colts vs. Ravens, 2nd Quarter
- Stover from 41, to cut the lead in half... and he just squeezes it inside the upright. And Gumbel's right, ever since Tony Romo did what he did, I do always pay more attention to the snap and hold. And here's another commercial, which is fine, because at this rate, I'm assuming that they're not go...
