Nice set of hooters you got there

Going into Sunday’s Steelers-Colts game I knew 3 things.

1. I hate the Steelers more than any NFL team. Grant it rivalries in the NFL aren’t nearly what they are at the high school or college level, but I’m a Browns fan. Enough said.

2. I like Tony Dungy. I liked him in Tampa and always felt that he got a raw deal there.

3. I bet on the Colts to win. Even with a 9.5 point spread, I took the Colts.

Here’s what I didn’t know going into Sunday.

1. How much I hate Peyton Manning.

That’s it. I had no clue how much I couldn’t stand him. I was openly rooting for the Steelers. Every time he missed a receiver or got sacked I was loving it. He is such an anti-leader. He always looks like he’s moping when things go wrong and he gets frustrated in the face of adversity. The fact is that everyone makes such a big deal about him calling his own plays, but yet when he gets his ass kicked like on Sunday no one brings it up. After the way the Steelers hit him in the first half shouldn’t the Colts have gone to more three step drops? Or maybe some draws or screens. A coach makes these kind of adjustments because they see what’s happening. Apparently a player, or at least a Manning, can’t see these things.

I was watching Sportscenter Monday morning and Sean Salisbury said that he couldn’t believe that Peyton would call out his line in the post game press conference. He said that was so “unlike Peyton.” Now I know that Sean is a lush, but has he been sleeping for the last 10+ years. Every time something goes wrong or his team loses, its never Peyton’s fault. I’ve never heard him step up and say “my bad.”

How couldn’t the Colts coaching staff have been ready for that defensive attack? It’s the same thing that the Chargers did to them. And the Steelers have better linebackers and defensive backs so you knew they would try the same stuff. Poor preparation on the part of the Colts. Poor preparation, or just choking.

Troy Polamalu is awesome. Going into Sunday I’ve always thought he was overrated because he has a tendency to get be over aggressive and get burnt deep (like Roy Williams). But wow. He was all over the field Sunday. And when he blitzed he looked like a missile going after Manning.

I hate both of the teams in the AFC Championship game. My only hope is that the Steelers’s plane crashes into the Broncos training facility during a film session.

If someone would have told me that the Bears were going to score 21 points on Sunday I would have taken them in a heart beat. Hey defense, thanks for showing up. At least they talked a great game during the week.

This Page 2 article is awesome. Wait until you get to the mention of Tee Martin. I almost peed myself. Okay, maybe I peed a little.

I have a solution for the NFL officiating problem in the post season. Only use your top 4 crews. There you go. There’s a maximum of 4 games per weekend during the playoffs. So use the top 4 crews to do these games. Use the top 2 on the Championship games and numero uno on the Super Bowl. If I were the crew doing the Super Bowl I wouldn’t want 5 weeks off before the game. I would imagine that officials get rusty just like players after a long lay off.

Dayn Perry is a baseball writer for Foxsports.com. He’s pretty much an idiot. And to boot he looks like Brett Handleman. I would even bet that his alter persona is Hunter Lago. Just look at his picture, its almost as eerie as Nick Manno.

For what its worth I didn't see him at the Winter Meetings. But he could have easily been hiding behind a plant somewhere. Maybe his Dad finally made him give it up and work as an errand boy for his accounting office.

If Brett ever attends The Masters as a result of some contact he makes at that job I will go on a 9 state killing spree, I promise.
