Luke Links: The 'Bill Belichick Is Your Daddy' Edition

Reggie Wayne is like a fine wine, or something... Andrew Luck "shouldn't have to wait" for Manning... Bill Belichick is going to embarrass Bill Polian... and your Colts suck so bad, you're not allowed to watch them...

FROM THE SADDLE (official team news)

Reggie Wayne "answered the bell" on Sunday, but says the Colts are 'inconsistent'. Understatement of the year, Reg.
Fili Moala: "It’s all about winning here. That’s the way it’s always been. That’s the way it’s always been everywhere I’ve been, and that’s especially true here. There is no such thing as moral victories."

GREEN APPLES AND ROAD APPLES (media analysis)

18to88 "just wanted to see the boys in blue win" versus the Panthers.
Bob Kravitz reiterates that Andrew Luck "shouldn't have to wait" for Manning to seek more rings. If he's drafted by the Colts, the Peyton Manning-era in Indy should come to an end.

Paul Kuharsky believes Bill Belichick will not hesitate to thrash the Colts come Sunday. Can they embarrass us more than the Saints? Probably.
If you tuned in to watch the Colts on Sunday but saw "Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course" instead, this is why.
Mike Florio believes the decision to not air the Colts-Panthers via Indy's local FOX affiliate, ultimately "did a disservice to the bulk of the Indiana-based audience."
Yahoo! Sports reminds us about the disdain that the Bills (Polian and Belichick) share for each other.

Mike Chappell says releasing Manning would not be "classless", but simply a business decision.
According to Bill Polian, Manning retiring is not even on the "radar screen" at the moment.
Even Peter King took note of the standout play from newcomer Ryan Mahaffey versus the Panthers.

APPLE PIE (SB Nation goodies)

In case you missed Marshall Manning upstaging his paps during a recent interview, SB Nation lends their take on the classic moment.
With the BCS computer exploding from week to week, SB Nation writes that a return of the Big Four bowl games should return to decide who should compete for the BCS title.

With all of this talk about Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck, I think there is now a new top dog in the discussion of who will be the next Colts quarterback: Marshall Manning.

Suit him up! Even at the age of one, I bet he still throws a better game than Curtis Painter. His DNA is already legendary.

Just the video and look at the little bundle of awesomeness. It's hard to not think he just isn't a clone of Peyton. I mean, think about it for a second: Who knew about the birth of these so-called "Manning twins"? No one! How did they just pop up out of thin air and under the radar in this crazy media age? It's just too perfect. And to boot, now we keep hearing that Manning could be hanging up his cleats... Pshh, I'm not buying it. I know a cover-up when I see one and this is a cover-up!

Honestly, the only evidence you really need lies in the kid's forehead... CLONE!

If the Colts draft Luck and cut Manning, I’ll be disappointed a bit. I’d rather keep Manning if he’s healthy, but that’s an “if”. But to get nothing for one of the greatest QBs of all time? That’d be a travesty if you ask me. Even if we just get a 2nd round pick for him (though I’m sure we could get more). I’m just just about every team would be willing to give something for him. If you want “strictly a business decision”, then you trade the man for something that could help the team out!

I understand not wanting to show the Colts game

on account of how bad they are, but replace it with The Godfather or Die Hard (It’s Christmas now, right?). But, really? Crocodile Hunter? THAT’S how the Colts are.

I’d love to see the numbers for Crocodile Hunter. I hope they were so bad that they’ll never pull something like that again.

How awesome would it be.

If the Colts beat the Pats…….

Hahaha. Good one, right?

Maybe Freeney and Mathis will make a Tom Brady sandwich.

Colts-Patriots Week isn't the same

This was supposed to be the best two-out-of-three year. 2009 & 2010 were such close games that were so similarly played out I was really looking forward to this one more than usual.

There’s no way the Pats come close to the 62-point beat-down that the Saints delivered. Brees is on a mission to break Marino’s record. The Pats will sub in Hoyer if the score gets up there, but I don’t think it will. The Colts’ D has kept them in games more than the record would suggest.

Keep the faith!

LOL... Patriots?!? Sub in?!?

If the score is 45-0 in the 4th quarter, you can be sure Brady will be padding his stats further.

Where's our little Kangaroo friend

Does he still post at the Pats site? He has not been here since Haynesworth got cut.

Payton kept Brees in

during the 62-7 drubbing. I couldn’t name Brees’ backup if I wanted to as I haven’t seen him at all this year, even during the blowouts. I think the Patriots’ “running up the score” fallacy is very overstated.
