Why The Colts Won't Go 19-0

Aside from the injuries and three (however winnable) road games left in this campaign, my favorite NFL team the Indianapolis Colts will not run the table and as sure as I am white they will not win the Super Bowl. I have put together four I feel solid points to back up this claim, each one more painful than the previous.


1. Jim Caldwell is a Tony Dungy desciple.

This means two things. Rest once the division is locked up (which could come as early as next Sunday against the resurgent Titans) and no chances taken with even the slightest injuries. Which means even if history is on the line, America is guaranteed at least four to six quarters over the final two weeks of Sorgi time. Peyton Manning is already taking practice time off and Joe Addai and Don Brown have been playing the ever fun game "Who's Going To Be More Injured This Week?" since the preseason. If Indy goes 13-3 it will be a Godsend and no not the Greg Kinnear/Robert Deniro/John Stamos' ex vehicle with dead child clones.

2. The San Diego Chargers are still around.

Never has a team flown up my old scale of hate like the San Diego Superchargers. From that diarrhea-of-the-mouth having Philip Rivers to the Hall Of Fame bound crybaby deluxe LaDanian Tomlinson to the fact that goddamn Billy Volek who I am pretty sure missed a couple of spots washing my Volvo the other day beating the Colts in the divisional round. I fear these twats more than New England at this juncture and hopefully Denver can right the ship and keep these clowns sitting at home come January.

3. There is no storyline for it.

Sometimes one can view the NFL like pro wrestling. If there is no compelling storyline for the two teams or wrestlers who really cares. There is always the old faithfuls such as the dynasty, the revenge game, etc. I see no such scenario coming up this season.

4. I feel positive about this team.

This is basically the kiss of death. Any time I feel positive about anything in my life you might as well take that feeling and flush it down the toilet. It may seem from this little rant that I have no positivity in my body. However I feel that this team is my best ticket to seeing a championship and that is why it is doomed to not happen.
