Earlier peter king posted this on twitter...
@SI_PeterKing RT @DougzInBoston: If Colts win SB are they team of decade? ... Not to me. Pats' 3 SBs, 4 fewer reg-season wins would trump Indy.
So i replied to him saying... "yah but the colts didnt cheat to win their super bowls like the pats"
he then sends me a direct message... so i opened up the email with great anticipation to see what he had respinded with... and his direct message said...
SI_PeterKing no
what does that even mean?!

That you are correct,
the Colts didn’t cheat to win. ????

Considering that PK probably did some filming for BB
what else do you expect?

I think he means no to everything you said.
In other words Peter King is a tool.

life becomes easier when you just accept that everyone in the media
isn’t paid because of their knowledge of sports, but because their employer thinks they can reach a large number of people (ie: cater to the lowest common denominator). Whats easier to say?
THe team of the decade is the team with the most super bowl rings
or
the team of the decade is the team with the most wins of the decade, 2 super bowl wins (assuming the hypothetical in the tweet), and the team with no controversy surrounding it. Also, the team that didn’t win the SB one year and miss the playoffs the next. The Patriots have had more ‘down’ years than the Colts, and the Colts would only be 1 SB behind the Patriots, but a handful of wins ahead. Not sure how it would be a slam dunk for the Patriots in this scenario.
Also, 100% sure what Peter King, Vic Ketchup, Jason AssCole, etc… think doesn’t have anything to do with reality.
Never doubt Peyton Manning, he’ll make you look silly
Joseph Addai is a good running back.

Rec'd for the nicknames.

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: In England, the Speaker of the House is not allowed to speak.
To a small extent...
Making 4 SB’s, 3 SB wins, and the second winning-est team this decade would in my opinion, be grounds enough to warrant the team of the decade….
However, if the Colts were to win 2 SB’s, be the winning-est team of the decade, and have set significant NFL records for the decade, they have to be in the discussion….
Because when you exclude the 3 SB’s for the Patriots, the other years are not very pretty. Biggest choke job ever in the history of the NFL (SB 42). The year earlier, they choked almost as bad in the AFC title game. Twice failing to make the playoffs after making the SB the year before…
Sure, you can bring up the cheating aspect and I’ll back you on it until the cows jump over the moon, but the most SB wins and SB trips in a single year would be very hard to overlook….
If the Colts win the next two super bowls after this one
they might not be the team of the decade in either the 00’s or the 10’s (say there is some NE/DAL type team later next decade). What does that say: team of the decade is pointless. I mean, the Boy’s are supposedly the team of the decade, but they didn’t even win a playoff game the last 4 years in the 90’s. While the Broncos won back-to-back. The 49ers had a better record.

In all seriousness,
you have to completely out of your mind to not think the Pats are the team of the decade. Sadly, as much as we all hate to admit it, 3 Superbowl wins makes you the team of the decade. Period.
I mean seriously, being that big of a homer makes you and the rest of us Colt’s fans look like a bunch of douches.

Un-rec'd
I completely disagree with everything you just said above
"You're what they call a practice girl"
I don't even acknowledge
the asterisk-ridden, 3 point superbowl victories of the Pats. They are a decent team, but cheated…..end of story. Plus they’ve lost 5 or the last 6 to the Colts. Team of the decade? Are you serious? lmao
But, they WERE guilty of cheating. That tarnishes it.

But...
The colts were guilty of piping in crowd noise. As a Colts fan, we know it isn’t true, but it really is the same as pointing to the Pats’ indiscretions.
Until the NFL removes the pats rings (not going to happen), they ARE the team of the decade.
I’m just glad I don’t have to hear the Brady worship from all the broadcast pundits. Sure, it’s easy to be calm and poised when you’re winning by a huge margin, but now he’s having snitty fits like anyone else. Not even top 3 anymore. Having a young defense sucks, doesn’t it Tom? Well, maybe you could bail them out with a game winning drive. Oh wait. Pressure makes you throw interceptions.
Can we like win a SB before we talk about this?
No, no, I’m not saying we can’t talk about it. Chill. I know talking about it as fans won’t curse us. Again, seriously, chill. But arguing with Peter King on perhaps hypothetically winning this upcoming sb is silly. We just have a spot in the playoffs, that’s all. Nothing more, nothing less.
