Luke Links: The "Get Your Popcorn Ready" Edition

I'm dedicating this edition of Luke Links to T.O.'s signing with the Bengals. Yes, I watch The T.O. Show. Yes, I watch Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch. I personally think both are great for the league - I know I will be tuning in to Bengals' games when the Colts aren't playing just to see what will happen. Paul Daugherty (SI.com) dubs the Bengals now the most entertaining team in the NFL. And I'll actually be rooting for them (unless it starts to encroach on the Colts' overall AFC standings, of course). With that...

Bravo LB!
I’m also rooting for the Bengals when it doesn’t have an effect on the Colts. A lot of people find Ochocinco’s antics childish, annoying, etc but I think he’s freaking hilarious and an absolute breath of fresh air – a departure from the “No Fun League” mentality :)

Colts passing attack is better.
Texans are 2nd but the Colts shut it down in the 2nd Half of the Week 12 Game and the Jets shut it down in Week 1. No one ever shut down the Colts passing attack except for 1 Quarter against Denver.

Side note - Actually Paul Kuharsky does not rank Colts #1 in "his" power rankings...
John Clayton did and is the only analyst among 4 that ranked Colts #1 and Saints #7, causing the Saints to fall to #2 in the BSPN’s latest power rankings. The other 3 analysts ranked Colts #2 and Saints #1.
If you see my smilieys, think of E.M.H. - our COLTs King of Smileys!
