What This Means For Us: The Indianapolis Colts

If You See These People At Large, Turn Them In IMMEDIATELY
Sure, you might look at this picture and think you see the kindly, warm-hearted parishioners of The Fall Creek Baptist Church in Indianapolis. It might make you feel warm; it might make you long for home. You might see nice old ladies during an Hawaiian-themed event. You might see that....
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.)...
Negro Bowl I: The Man On The Street
As you might have heard from a media outlet or two, this is a historic Super Bowl because it features two African American head coaches for the first time. The odds are good that this might be a topic over the next few days....

Yeah! We're Game Too!
We can't quite put our finger on why we find this "I'm Always Game (For Some Football)" video so entertaining, but we do, without reservation. You can't tell us this isn't better than Pink. If Spike ever gets NFL games, this should probably be the intro....
Look Out Behind You, Bengals; Someone's Catching Up, And They're Peeing
You know, with all this Super Bowl and Barbaro and Sean Salisbury business, we almost missed what's truly important: The San Diego Chargers are in serious danger of pulling a down-the-stretch, Barbaro-esque comeback to pass the Cincinnati Bengals for most arrests in a season. They're at eight! Look ...
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...

Billy Joel Hopefully Sober For National Anthem
So here's something we hadn't realized: Billy Joel is singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl.

Somebody's Gonna End Up With A Rather Lousy Highlight Video

Jay Mariotti Was On To Lovie Smith From The Beginning
We haven't made fun of Jay Mariotti for a while, so it's probably time. Good to shake off the rust sometimes....
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....
A Happy Ending For That EBay Bears Lady
You may recall the attractive Bears fan who attempted to auction herself off on EBay in return for a Super Bowl ticket last week. The bidding went up to 99 bazillion dollars and was then killed by EBay, only for her to try again, and again have the auction pulled....
Why You Shouldn't Randomly Promise Tickets To Strangers
When your team makes the Super Bowl, sometimes some promises you've made in the past come back to haunt you. That's what happened to Bears safety Chris Harris, who was on public access earlier this year and found himself in a situation where his mouth was writing checks his ticket stash couldn't cas...
William Perry, Keeping Busy (And Incognito!)
In case you were wondering what William "The Refrigerator" Perry was up to these days, now that the offers to box Manute Bol have dried up, here's one of his main promotional opportunities: Big Camo, "the world's BEST outlet for HARD or IMPOSSIBLE to find BIG and TALL camouflage hunting clothes, acc...
