From Whitlock's "Truths" Column

Looks like the media is ready to back the Colts again...

10 Truths

4. What would the reaction around the league be if Peyton Manning played for Bill Belichick and never acknowledged a second offseason surgery on his knee?

When Belichick is secretive about injuries we see it as an example of his deviousness and attempt to skirt NFL injury rules. When it happens on a Father Tony Dungy-coached team it's really no big deal.

Keep in mind, I'm a big fan of Father Tony. But I'm also a big fan of Belichick's. The two coaches aren't that different. They do what's in the best interest of their team and players. Dungy is a bit more pleasant about it. Belichick is a bit more effective.

3. I'm back on the Colts bandwagon. They're the best team in football.

  • The Cowboys have terrible chemistry.
  • The Tennessee Titans will not score at important times thanks to Kerry Collins.
  • Eli Manning is not — nor will he ever be — better than his older brother.
  • No way I'm taking Buffalo seriously.
  • Pittsburgh can't protect Ben Roethlisberger.

    Bottom line: Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison are back. The Colts will get leads and that will unleash Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis to rush the passer.

    don't worry the hate is out there

    though it’s harder to find. Even Simmons said the Colts are back and now thinks it’s the 08 Pats who should have ended by now.
