Bill Simmons is still a Colts hating homer
From his picks column
Ravens (+4.5) over COLTS
The '08 Colts are like Amy Winehouse -- they look awful and it should have ended by now.
You mean the Colts team that has won one less game against a harder schedule than your Pats.
The team that lost the player that a Pats homer would call the best in the league is better off than a team that went .500 with a makeshift line that is now nearly healthy. A team who's other HOF talent is a danger to quit on his team every week now is much better off to a team who will get Bob Sanders and their last remaining missing O-lineman back for the second half of the season.
The team that is suppose to be carried by the defense that is ranking in the bottom 8 in defensive DVOA is way better off than the team who's defense is playing better and offense is nearly intact for the first time all season.
At the start of the season who was better Colts or Pats was an agrument. Now without Brady any rational Pats fan must admit the Colts are a better team or than Brady isn't that good and wasn't that important to their success.
As long as Peyon is playing and Brady is not the Colts will win more games than the Patriots this season, I guarantee it.

Hey.
There’s a reason that we are ALL kicking his butt on picks, right?
He’s a big, fat, stupid-head.

I read him
And I laugh at the people who dislike him sending in letters to his mailbag and him posting them.
I always hope his team loses. I hate Boston sports in general. The Patriots are cheaters. Red Sox fans are whiners. The Celtics sent out a player to intentionally hurt Jermaine O’Neal in a playoff game a few years ago. The Revs are owned by the Krafts.

I think part of why I read him is that I have favorable attitudes towards the Red Sox and Celtics
Red Sox because I hate the Yankees, and Celtics for no reason really, I don’t have an NBA team but they are one of the 3-4 that I like to see do well.

I love when he sticks his foot in his mouth…hes a colts hater pure and simple and his idiotic quotes always seem to come back and bite him in the ass
like last week
Last week, I had the Broncos ranked fifth in my quarterly Power Poll and wrote, “It feels like this is their year.” This week? I think they’re going 6-10. Look, I’m not the one who is fickle here. It’s the NFL. Things change too much. I don’t know what to tell you. Denver’s defense is reprehensibly awful. It really is. Throw in Brian Griese hovering around 1.3 on the Vengeance Scale and I’m making this my lock of the week.
JAGUARS (-4.5) over Steelers
Here’s something you won’t hear on Sunday night: “You can’t make those kinds of mental mistakes against Mewelde Moore, he will KILL you.”
YEAAAAAAAAAAAA and guess who had 99 big yards against them..other than the sarcastic foot in your mouth mewelde….
and the broncos are going to only win 2 games the rest of the year. what a freaking homer he is. he is just still smarting over the fish beating his pats at home..and obviously he is still trying to cover up the superbowl choke with his nonstop moronic comments…you can make fun of the colts every week but you still lost to miami and YES YOU STILL CHOKED THE SUPERBOWL with all everything tom brady
fool! would LOVED to have seen his face when they flashed the colts score on his tv around 4:00. PRICELESS

harder schedule so far...
Opposing team record – Colts: 7-12
Chicago Bears 3 2
Minnesota Vikings 2 3
Jacksonville Jaguars 2 3
Houston Texans 0 4
Opposing team record – Pats: 7-11
Kansas City Chiefs 1 4
New York Jets 2 2
Miami Dolphins 2 2
San Francisco 49ers 2 3
I think saying that is a harder schedule thus far is a bit of a reach.
Also, I think the pats are a better team without their starting QB than the colts are.

Win-Loss is a virtual tie but FO has the Pats schedule as easier so far.
and you mean the Pats without Brady would be better than the Colts without Manning, right? If you think the Pats are going to be better than the Colts with Sanders, Hagler, Lilja and a 100% Ugoh then unfortunately I will have to question your fanhood.

schedule
Give it a couple more weeks for the wins/losses to pan out and we will revisit this.
And for the Patriots being better then the Colts with both teams without their starting QB, it would be the same as it is with both the QBs. Right now the Colts have a ton on injuries, especially on the O-line. But we will have them back towards the end of the season, Brady’s not coming back this season.

We will see...
what the colts are made of and only time will tell. So far this season the Colts offense with Peyts has been sketchy…it can only go down without him and that would be scary bad. The Pats have been doing pretty well so far without Brady, as expected, since they are well coached and have done this before (young QB Brady stepping in for Bledsoe).
On defense…I think the Colts CAN be better than the pats but we have only seen glimpses and the DT issues might get better or they might not. I’m hoping Hagler coming back makes things look better against the big run plays and that when we finally get to see Wheeler (this week) that he impresses. I’m VERY worried about the CB situation and think Jennings is not good and if Hayden is done I’d say the NE defense could be better. It really depends on their injuries also.
Hopefully the offense can start clicking and make the big plays and open things up for the run, which has been dreadful. I have high hopes for the team but they just haven’t showed much promise so far. I would have a hard time choosing who would win the NE/COLTS game if they were playing this week, although I would hope it would be the colts and they could somehow blow them out. Realistically, I’d have to see it to believe it though.

pats fan…you are seriously not saying you would rather play chicago, jax, houston and minnesota than SF, the jets, the fish and the worst team in football KC????
while the records maybe close the talent on the teams are not…

I find it laughable that anyone who doesn’t suck Colts penis and mentions the Pats in any positive light is a pats fan. I know tapper and he is the farthest thing from a pats fan. Thing is, he actually grasps that the Colts team/franchise isn’t perfect and will say so accordingly. If the Colts were so perfect as some serious homers here think then they’d have a bundle of straight SB wins but they don’t. The fact is the team has ISSUES.
Also, it isn’t hard to see that Tapper was talking about how important Manning is to the team and saying he is more valuable than Brady which funny, that has been said here numerous times. Do people really think that if Sorgi was in that the Colts would be 2-2 right now or they could do well? It is clear as day to see that the Pats with Cassel are fairly decent and can win while Sorgi is well, mediocre at best.
Also, KC is not the worst team in the NFL. Detroit or St. Louis is which is clear as day. I also feel that while the Colts opponents thus far are better, the difference isn’t THAT big. The jets and Fins are so far showing they are much improved from last season, San fran seems like they may be slightly better while jacksonville, houston and even the vikings are showing they are worse. Yes, the Vikings stink and they are lucky the Saints gave them that game.
I am sure people will spew forth injuries but why is it Indy had a massive amount of injuries last year yet were a few plays away from going 16-0 and this year they have been garbage? All that got posted here a season ago was how they could win with guys being injured because other players “stepped up” and filled the holes yet now suddenly that doesn’t work and injuries are being used as an excuse. Sorry, it doesn’t work both ways.
The fact is, if Brady and Manning are both down, the Pats will do better. I DO think Indy has the superior team overall but I don’t think Sorgi could do anything of value while cassel can and already has.
Naturally I will be branded a Pats fan but as tapper knows, I am not. I am just merely being truthful which is far more useful and logical than being a Colts (or any team) homer acting like the team I follow is flawless.

I think he read it like I did
as saying the Pats without Brady are better than the Colts with Peyton.
Saying the Pats are better with both starting QBs out isn’t questionable thing for a Colts fan to say. If you believe Peyton is better which I trust that most Colts fans do then it’s not a stretch to say they are the better team without their QB.

Pats are better minus both teams' QB.
Is this really a discussion? Without Brady, the Pats are still 3-1. Without Manning (and his THREE go-ahead TDs in the last two minutes the past three weeks), the Colts would be 0-4 under Sorgi.
Actually, I embrace this as a Colts fan. It goes to show which player is more essential to his team’s success, and therefore which player is greater. I have long contended that the Pats fans who wanted to homeristically (new word?) Make Brady better than Manning because of his rings were actually insulting their team as a whole. The Colts fans would tell you that for years Indy has had only had Peyton. They had no defense for most of Peyton’s carreer. For someone to make it look apples to apples in comparing these players by team success is to say the Pats had a horrible defense and weak team around Brady as well.
Defense wins championships, some say, then turn around and compare QBs. When the postseason starts, every QB will struggle more than during the season, because he is throwing against better defenses (unless he’s playing the Colts most years). I have often watched other teams play lights out defense and thought that I wish the Colts tackled that well on D. We have at times, and coincidentally we won a super bowl then.
I would think that most honest Pats fans could admit that of the two greats, Peyton is the better QB, while the Pats have been the better team. But many won’t, as people like to have it every way. The Pats fans that I expect that baloney from the most are the band wagon ones from Michigan, who love NE specifically because of Brady. They are the worst Manning critics I know. I have grown to hate the Wolverines through all this.

Hilarious.
Their demise the past couple of years has quieted them (the ones I know) a little in some ways. In other ways it makes them even more keyed on Brady and NE. The good part is when they talk stupid about Manning and the Colts, I just ask, “By the way, how did the Wolverines do this weekend?” Another fun answer to settle things down will be, “Wow, weren’t they in the Big House for this one?”
I am a former Wolverines fan (I spent my teen years in MI). They have become low on my Big Ten list these days, though. Now, for a perfect sports weekend, let’s go Colts!

Much appreciated
any and all logical discussion instead of spouting off accusations of being a pats fan. However, outside of cheering for the Colts this season, unless they are playing the Colts I do want the pats to do well. I would love for Cassel to put up great numbers and show that Brady is not as important as pats homers like to say he is.
