Which brings me to "other" observations. It seems that a friend of mine thinks that the Colts are somehow less of team when compared to the mighty Broncos of Denver. His reasoning behind this mistiful thinking is that the Colts, with Manning at the helm, have not beaten anyone in the playoffs with less than 6 losses. There is no pleasing this guy I guess, because that would mean that beating one of the San Francisco Super Bowl Championship teams of the 80s wouldn't be enough to prove that the Colts are a good team. Further, you could even make the argument that beating the 9-4 Packers, who won it all, back before the 16 game schedule came out wouldn't be enough for the Colts to satisfy him.
That brings me to the Broncos. Mike Shanahan is an average running back's dream coach. Through his implementation of the running game and non-standard O-Line template, he has made household names out of such college stand outs like Reuben Droughns (who?), it's pretty remarkable. It's these types of running backs and the aerial hit-man that is Jake "The Fake" Plummer that has my buddy's hand cupped, and ready to stroke his 2005 football stiffy. He so loves that Denver running game and Mike Shanahan's coaching ability that he has forgotten that Mike and the vaunted Denver rushing attack has done absolutely Jack, or Jake for that matter, shit since Elway retired. Jake Plummer is a perennial loser who has only tasted playoff success against a Cowboy crew that was pretending to be a playoff team. Speaking of fakes, Mike Shanahan quite possibly is the Mack Brown of the NFL; this guy has teams that analysts slurp all year only to piss into the wind when it comes playoff time. What I'm saying is, you can pick them to be "your" team dejour this season, but I'll believe it when I see it. Win a playoff game sometime, like the Colts have.
Then there's the issue of the "band wagon", which is defined as a current fashionable trend. How can pulling for the Colts to win it all be band wagon? They've made it to their conference championship game as recently as 2 years ago. The last time
Then, saying the Colts will lose to the Chargers, who I think are the second best team in the league, then saying after that loss will lose again to the Seahawks is a bold move. First, the Chargers are that good, so for them to beat the Colts is no surprise. Then, after the perfect season is unattainable, with no reason to play their stars in the following game, while their opponent is still trying to wrap up home field advantage, I think it's pretty obvious who will win. Since I'm becoming lactose intolerant it would be like me eating an ice cream cone and predicting that I'm going to have projectile diarrhea afterwards.......No shit, really?
Sigh.
By the way, The Colts have beaten 5 of the 6 3-4 defenses they've faced this season, Peyton seems very confused.

Prediction, Adam Will Take a Dump Today!
Well, this weekend was a treat with P's graduation, Christmas with her dad, and watching the offensive line all but finish the Cowboy's chance of a playoff appearance. Thanks to their outstanding play the past 5-6 weeks the Cowboys have been reduced to being beaten by the likes of Washington Denver

You know, when somebody tells you they are working on a response to a call-out, then 3 days later it posts, can you really give any credibility to their comedy?
I think any points for spontaneity and humor are completely nullified when it takes you that long to sit around and think something up. Historical stat references too.
SportsCenter highlight fans and hard core web research is lame. Please come up with an original opinion for once that's not borrowed from Stuart Scott or Tucker Max.
Off to a meeting this afternoon and happy hour tonight, but I will get online and directly respond to your aversion of the points at hand to get your own silly anecdotes in as soon as I get home.
Score (1-10):
Quality of Points - 10

Just to clarify, since I never got my editorial change at mybruisedass.com, I read your post Monday, and only found spare time to respond today.
No need to get bent over the number man, but the proofs right there. Tell the Broncos to win a playoff game.
But, I can't wait how you'll justify your Dever/Indy theory.
The only diarrhea here is your diarrhea of the mouth about absolutely nothing. Here we go, no stats or research, just knowledge, baby.

First of all, learn how to spell variations of the word "lose." I think you were 0-4 in that little ramble.
So you dig up a couple of teams with an unusual amount of losses that won a Super Bowl. Big deal. Trent Dilfer and the Ravens won a Super Bowl. Nuff said. There's been just as many dominant teams that have won as parody-driven ones. Find a trend, then come talk to me.
So in your complete aversion of the point, you focused solely on ripping Denver, the easiest of targets.
Since you read just about as well (horribly) as you write and spell, you would see that I said Indy is a great regular season team until their regular choke in the playoffs. They ARE a better team than Denver, but Peyton would lose to a Babe Laufenberg team come January. Do you really think this is the first year Indy was labeled as the best team in the league and picked to win the Big One? Not a chance. I would venture to say they’ve been labeled the best or at least one of the top 3 teams in the AFC for 7 years now! And in every one of those years, they've failed to meet expectations.
That's the trend, and that's what will happen again this year. Whether it be to Jake the Snake, the Leftwich-less Jags, or the decimated Pats. Hell, maybe even the Bungals. Everybody is picking them to win AGAIN this year despite history, and that’s friggin’ bandwagon. Hop on the frontrunner’s train.
With all due respect to Dungy and his recent loss, I am sincerely hoping the Colts DO win. I think that guy’s a great coach, and Marvin Harrison is a true class act, so they deserve to win it as much as any.
Fact of the matter is, until Peyton proves he can do something with the talent around him in a big game, I’ll never bet on them come playoff-time.
Funny, there was another guy who had that problem, and I think he credits Mike Shanahan for taking the playbook out of his hands and pulling him out of the rut.
Show me the six 3-4 D’s Peyton faced this year. I call BS on your made up stat. There’s 5 teams in the league that predominantly run a 3-4, and none of them are in the Colts conference. Maybe the Texans switch to it every once in a while. They’re tough. By the way, what’s the count on .500 or better teams the Colts have played this year? 4 now? Anybody who watched the 2 against the Jags knows that the dominance of the game did not reflect the score. That’s a very shaky 3-1 against the competition.
Chargers have been flustering Peyton every time they’ve played since Schott came to town, and you’re a naïve idiot if you think the Colts weren’t trying to reach their undefeated season. Dungy had every intent of playing his starters to the bitter end of any game within a reachable margin.
I know you Adam, and you know the game of football as well as any, but I also know you never watch a complete game, you had given up on the Colts years ago prior to this season, and you drink the PTI forced arguments kool-aid.
Stick to your guns of the strange combination of Gap clothes and the Mark Martin fan club.
Love you.
(11:28 a.m.)
So you have 2 days and this is all you can come up with? I'm not sure who to compare you with, John Clayton or Skip Bayless.
My trend, Colts win playoff games, Broncos haven't, in nearly a decade. Good enough? Not for you, but there's your trend. To that point, sure, the Colts have lost in the playoffs, but to say that every year they are the front-runner is crazy. New England, for the most part, has been IT. Failed expectations are the Broncos never winning without Elway. As far as picking the Colts to win, they have a history of winning in the playoffs, why not? They have, once again this year, a fantastic offense, and Dungy finally has the defense to do what Baltimore did. (nice point)
As for the teams that run the 3-4, I'll let you pick them out. Since I watch the games, I know who they are.
On the perfect record, I never said I didn't think they weren't going for it. All I said was that it was easy to pick them to lose. You're dealing with a good team (Chargers) in a must win. That's a challenge to the Colts no matter what. Even before the events of the past few days, it easy to say they'd lose at home to the Seahawks too.
Tom, the fact is the Colts have been a good team the past few years; however, there has been a better team out there, New England. Like the Bulls with the Pistons, things change and this is the time the Colts need to capitalize.
So YOU keep up with the PTI tradition and force Denver on us. Their trend, O-fer since Elway.
Also, don't bust on my clothing, or I'll pull the yearbook out dude. I'm not taking fashion advice from a guy who looks like he got a dirty sanchez before prom.
BTW, we need to hook up next week, give me a call.
And, I Love NASCAR……….

You're either dyslexic or retarded. Try to absorb a point before responding to it.
The Colts win playoff games against teams that sneak in at the end. New England has had a more talented squad one time in the last 7 years.
Colts are the UT of the NFL and you've become the typical Sip - fan of the overrated underachiever.
(wiping)
Once again, I'm not betting on Denver. I'm betting against the Colts.
It's not Greek.
(flush)
Right,
You're on an all-liquid diet of Bronco Kool-Aid.
Don't bother coming to my house to borrow sugar.....I'm not going to feed your inane habit.
