Know Your Colts History: Don't tase me bro!
This week, one of the hot topics of discussion has been whether or not it was appropriate for Phillies' security to use a taser to stop a fan who had run out onto the field during a game. Unlike most fans who make a mockery of themselves as soon as they hit the ground running, this fan was 17. Because he was so young, he still had some athleticism, which made it much more difficult to catch him and prompted the use of the taser.
Years from now we could look back on this misguided fan as the first in a new breed of more athletic, elusive fans that will create more headaches for event security. As the desire to evade security for longer to get more exposure increases, we could one day reach the point where fans who run on the field train like the athletes already on playing field. This got me thinking, if our finest athletes were put to the test, which one would be able to avoid security at Citizens Bank Park the longest?
Peyton Manning: He lacks the speed and agility that the other players on the team possess, but security personnel wouldn't use the same capture techniques. They would probably try to use an elaborate net system to capture Peyton, in the hopes that they could force him to suit up for the Eagles. Problem is, once security turns catching Peyton into a mind game, they're basically gift-wrapping the advantage and putting it right in Peyton's hands. Of course, they wouldn't be doing that if Peyton wasn't already playing them like keys on a xylophone.
Pierre Garçon: Pierre's combination of speed, agility and strength give him the best chance of avoiding security, but would he be able to go on after getting tasered? As Reggie Williams would probably tell him, it's all fun and games until you get zapped.
Ray Fisher: Mr. Fiery Rash is the Colts' new hope for a better return game in the 2010 season. And as Marquis Weeks reminds us, returning kicks is just like running from the cops. So despite being a rookie, Ray has more experience in this area than anyone else on the team.
Robert Mathis: Unlike everyone else on this list, Robert would actually seek out the security personnel and try to take them down, which adds an odd dynamic to the chase which would make it more difficult to take him down. Would you want to chase after someone like this?
Bob Sanders: Bob's skin is a composite of granite and iron, mixed with a little bit of poisonous venom, just for the fun of it. His skin keeps security guards from pursuing him and it doesn't conduct electricity, so in other words, Bob can basically go where he wants and do what he wants whenever he feels like it. But you already knew that.

Bobzilla will hunt you down as well...
Only problem is he’ll probably tear a bicep after throwing the security guards back into the stands.

Hmmm
I’m pretty sure that if security couldn’t get them, the Philly fans would. Especially if the Phillies are losing.

Mathis.
"It's the greatest job in the world until Peyton comes off the field and you think his thumb might be broken and there's three minutes left in the AFC Championship Game and you're down by three to New England and you haven't taken a snap all year. Yeah, it's a great job until that point." - Jim Sorgi
Bob Sanders can't be tased.
I don’t believe a taser would work on Bob Sanders. It would simply bounce off his skin.
Actually
Bobzilla would just stand there. And the guy holding the tazer would spasm and fall. ;)

I never tire of the flying Mathis

Idea for a new poll -
If you had to pick one – would you rather:
(a) be tased by Payton; or
(b) get a forearm shiver up side the head by Mike Curtis?
If you pick (b), click on the following link:
-10 for "Payton"

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: Finals suck.
At this point in the poll...
Peyton has more votes than Mathis. I love Peyton; but let’s be honest here: faster than Mathis? Seriously?

there is no Indy in Baltimore Colts History!

a player like Raymond Barry did. I personally think he would have come to grips with it had he not passed away. As I recall, he was very found of a certain Colt who wear’s a number, one below his.
He wore the blue and the white with the horseshoe on the side of his helmet. That makes him a Colt and for that, I will tie him in with all the former players of the past with todays present team.

Blah blah blah
We’re still upset about Mayflower trucks blah blah blah
Get over it
Love learning, hate studying
The Colts franchise used to be in Baltimore.
Now, the Colts franchise is in Indianapolis.
It’s not about Baltimore. It’s not about Indianapolis.
It’s about the Colts franchise.
A great organization with ties to both cities… history we share in but do not own… Baltimore doesn’t own it, Indy doesn’t own it… the Colts organization owns it.
Careful what you wish for... a government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take everything you have.
Who cares?

I have been tased 4 times...
it is not that bad, after the 5 second cycle you feel no ill effects, it is like it never happened. And no I am not a criminal I work in law enforcement.
Back when I was picking beans in Guatemala, we used to make fresh coffee, right off the trees I mean. That was good. This is shit but, hey, I'm in a police station.

Getting back to the original post....
As Moe Sizlak once said, we need our machine guns. How else are we gonna hunt the new super-animals… like the flying squirrel?
JTS’s initial theory about new, super-athletic a-holes storming the fields reminded me of this old Simpsons line….
I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.
