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...
Colts vs. Ravens, 1st Quarter
- I think I'm going to call CBS and just ask them to not show the game and give me 4 hours of Dan Marino and James Brown laughing about something Shannon Sharpe said. I can't get enough of that. We're still probably 15 minutes from kickoff. Get yourselves strapped in....
Nothing About This Suggests "Paradise"
If you were undecided about who to root for today... Jesus....
Playoff Pants Party: Ravens Vs. Colts
Again, so we don't overrun the site with Pants Parties tomorrow, we thought we'd preview Saturday's first game today. So here you are....
Chiefs vs. Colts: 4th Quarter
- Thanks to Tony Gonzalez and Trent Green's newfound testicles, the last fifteen minutes of this game might actually be worthwhile. The picture there is Larry Johnson's dad, and I thought we should probably feature him, as he's been as important to the outcome of this game as his son has....
Chiefs vs. Colts: 3rd Quarter
- It's halftime. The picture there to your right is Lawrence Tynes' field goal doinking off the post. Enjoy Jerome Bettis in the studio....
Chiefs vs. Colts: 2nd Quarter
- That's Julie Green again. Sorry... she made an impression. I just kind of assumed that Trent Green would be with someone who looked a little bit more matronly....
Chiefs vs. Colts: 1st Quarter
- Hello... welcome. That's Herm Edwards and Tony Dungy, and in case you didn't catch the NBC pregame show, they're friends. They really like each other. A lot....
Playoff Pants Party: Colts Vs. Chiefs
Because we're just now back and getting around to previewing these playoff matchups — jeez, we missed the whole playoff picture clearing up; we were gone longer than we realized — we thought we'd toss in one of these playoff previews today so the site isn't run over with them tomorrow....
That's A Nice, Uh, Sweater Vest, Coach
In one of those little moments that make life with high definition television so much better than life before high definition television, an eagle-eyed reader caught a split-second incident last night, fleeting, that shows just how much the Indianapolis Colts staff loves Tony Dungy....
Peyton Manning Does Brief Alpha Dog Impression
See, this is what we were talking about. Going into last night's Monday Night game, the Bengals were the team with the defense that was playing well at the right time, the Colts were collapsing (because Tony Dungy isn't "tough" enough, or something) and the entire AFC was topsy-turvy, if you don't m...
The Last Worthy MNF Game, We Suspect
In what should be an awfully fun and hopefully high-scoring Monday night game, the Indianapolis Colts and the Cincinnati Bengals, teams going in the ole "opposite directions" storyline. This being the NFL, everyone will forget the storylines once, you know, they actually play a game....
'Dallas Clark Is Awesome. Seriously. (Please Don't Hurt Us)'
The folks over at Rooster Teeth.com are small-boned, practical folk. So when they angered large, muscular Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark recently with a rather unflattering portrayal of him on a video game commercial, they quickly scrambled to make amends. They drafted a letter of apology...
Where In The World Is Lil Ronnie?
So here's a question: Whatever happened to Lil Ronnie? Longtime Deadspin readers will remember Lil Ronnie, the 12-year-old from the "south side" of Indianapolis who serenaded his beloved Colts with "Super Bowl Bound," the hip-hop ode with the cityscape of Indy pulsing in the background. He was cute,...
Another "Outstanding" Regular Season Manning Triumph
There is a temptation to point out that if Peyton Manning had thrown four interceptions at home on national television against his biggest rival, he would have been vilified by anyone with a keyboard yet again for being a choker; because it was Tom Brady who did it, it was just an "off night" for ...
Cut. That. Meat.
Well, the time has finally come. It's almost time for the Colts and Patriots to kick off, and thus, for Peyton Manning to engage in a no-win situation. If he loses, he's still firmly entrenched in the role of Tom Brady's lawnboy. If he wins, it's a meaningless regular season game that won't even be ...
Time For Manning-Brady ... Uh ... What Number Are We On Now?
You might have heard: The Colts play the Patriots this weekend, which means it's time for more Brady vs. Manning stories. We think everyone's issues with Peyton Manning are nicely summed up by Kissing Suzy Kolber:...
