Robert Mathis named AFC Defensive Player of the Week

Normally, I put announcements like this in a FanShot. But for this, I wanted to make an exception. Robert Mathis is AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his 2 sack, fumble return for a TD performance against the Browns last week. This season, Robert Mathis has been playing out of his mind. Remember, the plan for Mathis this season was for him not to start. Robert has only started 2 games at DE, but he has played a ton of snaps and made the most of his opportunity. He looks healthy, rested, and ready to destroy people.
Oh, and Robert Mathis better make the flippin' Pro Bowl this year. He should have been there last year, but this year he already has 42 tackles, 9 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, and 1 fumble recovered for a TD. He could post career numbers this year, and if some dude like Aaron Scobel or Kyle Vanden Bosch gets a Pro Bowl nod over Robert, I might lose it and eat someone's kid.
Robert Mathis is totally THE man. He will also have a few drinks with you down in Broadripple, if you are lucky. Robert is now #2 on the Colts all-time sack list, behind Dwight Freeney. Mathis and Freeney are the best DE tandem in football. Still my favorite quotes from Robert Mathis:
KingRichard: I just wanted to come over and say we appreciate what you do and wanted to say good luck next year!
Robert Mathis: Thanks a lot homie, we appreciate you guys too.
...much later, and several drinks later...
yellowsnow: Sack Tom Brady!
Robert Mathis: Already did. Twice!
Again, the man.

Actually Alan (yellowsnow) is the one who yelled “Sack Tom Brady!” as we were walking out. I think I said that in my little hungover rant.
That was a great night. It ended with Alan and I running home completely blitzed and I don’t remember much after that.

I just got tickets to the colts/lions game in about 10 days. I can’t wait to see what Mathis does to the rookie Cherilus.

That's pretty cool.
And there can never be too many sacks on Tom Brady, imo. :)

So you won't eat a delicious cow or pig,
But you’ll eat a kid?
You really should re-think your eating habits.
