Know Your Colts History: Bye Week Plans

The bye week is here, and it couldn't have come a moment sooner for the Colts.  It's going to let some of our key cogs heal up from early-season injuries and it gives Peyton some time to develop some rhythm with the offense.  I know the team has spent a lot of time this week trying to address the issues that they've dealt with in the first three weeks.

However, we must also must remember that a key part of the bye week is getting away.  In the grind that is the NFL season, it's imporant to use this weekend to get away, lest they avoid burnout at the end of the season.  Here are what some of your favorite Colts are planning doing with their weekend off:

Peyton Manning - Other than going to the Giants game and watching his brother like always, Peyton plans on learning the Portugese and Romanian languages, making him fluent in every romance language.

Dwight Freeney & Marvin Harrison - Both Syracuse alums plan on heading up to their alma mater to plead with the AD to take over as coaches.  Granted, they'd only be able to dedicate a few hours a week to game-planning, and they wouldn't have any direct contact with the team, but when your team is 1-3, your only win came against Northeastern (a FCS school, mind you) by nine points, and your three losses have been by a combined 76 points, you could argue that the two of them could do a better job.

Bob Sanders - Bob will be working on developing telepathic powers.  If his ankle sprain/knee scope is going to keep him from hurting people with his body, he'll hurt people with his mind!

Mike Hart - Mike plans on sending text messages to his alter-ego, Mat Hiker, with his iPhone(s).

Gary Brackett - He'll be doing some sight-seeing, with his family.  Of course, you know his fanny pack and camera will be making the trip as well.

Dallas Clark - Dallas is going back home so he can give all 431 people in his hometown  of Livermore, Iowa a wet willy.

Jim Sorgi - He'll be spending all weekend trying to figure out why a team that plays in a stadium with artificial turf needs an official lawn mower.

Anthony Gonzalez - He plans on going clubbing, but not in the way you would expect.  Gonzo is going to hit up every oxygen bar east of the Mississippi.

Melvin Bullitt - He'll be working on his Steve McQueen impressions all weekend.

Ed Johnson - [Insert stoner joke here.]

Jeff George - Traveling to Boston, and going back home.

Wow

that Oxygen tent thing that Gonzalez does is pretty cool. Think he still does this in Indy? Maybe some players should use that to increase there oxygen and play longer

Not to nit-pick, but...

Jake, I love the site and love the knowledge and passion you have for Colts football, but I have one request: From one writer to another, could you please, please, please run your posts through spellcheck?

Add “give” to Dallas Clark’s entry,
Take out “whey” and add" figure out why" to Jim Sorgi’s entry.
On Bob Sanders’ entry, I think you want to swap the first “mind” with “body.”

I’m honestly just trying to help.

Oy

Sorry about that, I promise to work on that in the future. It’s been a long week. I blame this on my Spanish classes.

Dallas Clark has been sighted in Iowa City

I guess he got through the 431 pretty fast and is going for the 100,000 in the city he went to college in

Oh boy

I think Northwestern is going to want to get on their bus and get out of town ASAP. That is, unless they want to feel Clark’s index finger go in one ear and out the other.

that game was so ugly

Iowa was -4 in TOs and still almost won. Iowa lost that one because they couldn’t field kicks and punts. 3 fumbles on returns, 2 lost.

Peyton

won’t be watching Eli this week since they’re not playing either…

You didn't hear?

Eli is the starting pitcher for tomorrow’s Giants-Dodgers tilt. He’s already the second best pitcher behind Lincecum. Or something like that.

I think this kinda sums up this week’s KYCH:

Next week will be better guys, I promise.

I know....

this is funny but I don’t get it.

It's an internet meme thing

The only way I can really explain it is for you to go here. I’m not sure if it’ll help explain anything, but at least it’s funny.

In a survey

that I have been conducting ( without state or govt. aid) Peyton is the sexiest QB in the NFL.

  1. attraction= His dedication.
  1. attraction= Communication skills (e.g. those lessons wink wink may really be romance language classes) Women love him.
  1. attraction= He looks really big on T.V.
