LAP
sounds horrible. It’s hard not to laugh when talking about Jags fans, btw.

LAP is when I plan on buying my season tix
Guarantee 1 or 2 years after he retires the price drops and availability rises. That’ll be my broke ass’s time to shine!

There will still be a waiting list though,
so you will have to wait for a few years.

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: Butler University is (finally) in the Final Four for the first time in school history. While I knew that they could do it, I am still stunned. Only need 2 more wins to finish the job! Go Butler!
I don't think they will have trouble selling season
tickets though.

oh my that's embarrassing!
changed… I guess I shouldn’t listen to conference calls and prepare links at the same time
How can you not love a team that does this?
eh, no worries
But I prefer Bill Caldwell. One could argue that they’re the same man, especially when on the subject of resting starters. Oh there I go being BBS again. That damned dead horse just can’t be beaten enough.

I don't think you should either.
It’s Jeff Fisher.

So that thing above is supposed to be a ship?

I think so
Because shipping is apparently free.

I only noticed because you asked :-)

Actually
Kuharsky thinks fans heart Session to much and hate Addai too much. I agree with him.
I also agree with that Benoit dude. Except when he gets to the assessment of needs.

That's right. He is actually defending Joe, but points out
that the Colts just don’t want to run the ball that much.

And that our OL can't block
Another point where he is correct.

You beat me to it
Yes, Kuharsky did indeed note that the disappointment in rushing plays was not Joe’s fault:
I think the Super Bowl served as another piece of evidence that he can run, and it’s blocking and play calling that wind up the bigger run-game issues.
------
"How can a pickup truck contain enough mass to unfold into a towering machine? I say if Ringling Brothers can get 15 clowns into a Volkswagen, anything is possible."
According to 18to88
The move towards a 4 wide set on offense and Caldwell’s recent comments on the wide receiver core indicate that the offense might run the ball less than they did last year and throw more. I’d say that it’s a pretty safe bet that Manning will probably have over 600 attempts next season. Actually I think next season could be his most productive since 2004, barring some significant injury.

Wait.
Our OL can’t block? What madness is this? Why didn’t anyone tell me?

From the Benoit Article
2. Cornerback
Tim Jennings had his best season in ’09, but Indy let him go anyway. Kelvin Hayden and Jerraud Powers form a solid tandem, but depth is needed behind them. Undrafted Jacob Lacey fared admirably as a fill-in starter for much of ’09. Still, the Colts need more quickness here.
Does this guy watch football? Or is he just cherry picking from other writers?

Oh, and Prisco is an idiot
The Colts offense won’t miss a beat with Clyde running the show

it could be that Jennings had his best season in '09
but that ain’t sayin’ much
How can you not love a team that does this?
If that was his best season
I’m glad I wasn’t fanatic about football 2 or 3 years ago
So we're turning into Atlanta Braves of NFL? My head says "no", but who knows?
He was never any good anyway.
Saying he had his best season isn’t saying much.
