Mike Vrabel is a dick, and he thinks you are stupid
Members of the New England Patriots were noticeably booed by 53,000 fans when introduced at the Pro Bowl this past Sunday. Since we can assume that Hawaiians are not closet Colts fans, we can gather that pretty much everyone in America, including those that live on an island paradise, think the Patriots are a bunch of classless pricks.
Vince Wolfork, a player fined four times this past season for dirty play, couldn't quite figure out why fans in Hawaii think his team is full of scum wads.
"Everybody hates you when you're on top. We talked about it and we thought it was kind of funny. But we have haters everywhere we go. Even in Hawaii people hate us."
Matt Light seemed to take offense to the boos:
Ah, but neither Matt Light nor Vince Wolfork are the Mr. Sunshine of this rough-and-tumble Pats group. That honor falls to Mike Vrabel. Apparently, in Mike's eyes, the media are the ones to blame for America hating them:
"What's written about and talked about on TV, that's the only way the fans can formulate an opinion," he said.
We don't need TV to tell us you and your team a collection of dicks. Your words and your actions do a fine enough job transmitting that signal. Between the cheating, the HGH use, running up scores, and playing dirty football, I think we all have a pretty solid opinion about what kind of team resides in New England. We don't need friggin' ESPN to tell us.
BTW: When Osi Umenyiora, the lone NY Giants rep at the Pro Bowl, took the field, he was cheered. Let's see, one Giant and thirteen Cowboys played in the Pro Bowl. Do we need any more proof that the Pro Bowl has a douche bag All-Star selection system?
And do we need the TV to tell us that Mike Vrabel and the Patriots are a bunch of classless punks? No, they do a fine enough job telling us directly.

So how bout them Colts
Hell, more of New England is over the loss in the Superbowl then some of the people here. Remember, the Colts lost the the Chargers twice, not the Pats. Maybe you should get your perspective corrected, realize that saying "It was the weather" or "they wanted it more" isn't going to cut it next season, rather then looking down at the fallen Pats.
But maybe it's me. Maybe you just want to kick a team when they are down, because you didn't get the chance to kick them when they were up. How about you talk about trying to get that chance next year?

Simple, actually
Moreover, if there's a Patriots fan that's "over" losing the Super Bowl, they're not fans. Colts fans still aren't over 03 and 04. You guys should still be smarting from being on the losing end of playoff matchups with the Manning family in consecutive seasons.
Also, we freely acknowledge that next year, the Chargers are going to be our main threat in the conference. We already know the Jags, Titans, and Texans will be good. Mostly considering that that's 2/3rds of the AFC playoff teams right there, 1/2 if you include the Colts. The Pats will cruise to an AFC East title by virtue of the easiest schedule in the league, and get stomped, probably in the 2nd round. The Chargers beat the Colts twice because of injuries. Game 1: Manning is throwing to guys that wouldn't start on a D-I college team, save Reggie Wayne, who is always double covered. Game 2: Colts D has a brain fart, can't rush the passer, and lets Billy freaking Volek have the game winning drive, committing stupid penalties along the way to help them out. They won by a combined seven points, and in the first game it took TWO special teams TDs to do it.
We talk about the Pats because it's something to talk about. It's fun to speculate about other teams that may or may not crap the bed next season. Considering the age of that defense, it's not out of the question. Someone over there better make sure Harrison takes his HGH and Seau gets fitted for Depends.
But hey, apparently the Colts are interesting enough for fans of other teams to stop by.

Your Right
But I agree the Colts aren't much to talk about this offseason. They have almost all their needs sured up, with the exception of whether Marvin will retire. So talk about the age of the Pats defense, but to go and keep saying stuff about the off-field aspects of another team just seems like most of the site here seems cuaght up in insults over substance.

Ding Ding Ding!
I seem to remember you, horseofadifferentcolor, inbradywetrust, lomaz, OneMore, etc. etc. etc. taking many opportunities over several weeks to kick the Colts when they were down, now you complain about the exact same treatment.
Actually, it's not the exact same treatment. What's the difference you ask? Well... this is OUR SITE, idiot! We're not posting this stuff on Pats Pulpit. We're not rushing over there to rub it in. We'll leave that sort of behavior to you morons. So you can dish it out but can't take it, huh? No wonder Belichick is your god.
This is a Colts site. The Pats are our biggest rival. Of course we're going to talk about them. But we'll do it here, where it is appropriate. You should really think about what you're saying before you spout such unbelievable hypocrisy.
Re: Ding Ding Ding!
So it's almost like I was offering constructive critism based on gameplay. Hmmm...makes me wonder what this blog is really about when thats considered trolling.
And like I said in the first place, it's a Colts site. So Focus on the Colts. If you want to claim rivalry to discuss other teams, discuss them on the feild where they are your rivals, not off the feild where it has nothing to do with the Colts.

"Nothing like 2nd string
So, beaten by Billy Volek and Micheal Turner. How bout they try the 3rd string next year, see if they even it out.
Oh, and remember that tieing the game wasn't good enough for Dungy. A long disappointing offseason looks like its on the rise
by ZTurgeon on Sun Jan 13, 2008 at 04:19:41 PM EDT"
This was just MINUTES after the Colts' loss. I could look for more, but you're really not worth it.
Two things:
- You trolls really need to understand how these intertubes work. Your words are published and out there for all to see, virtually forever. So historical revision while playing the "holier than thou" card is a very dangerous business.
- You seem to believe that the Colts exist in a vacuum, or some kind of Coltopia. But what happens in the rest of the league affects the Colts. Therefore we enjoy talking about it. And when the subject is our biggest rival, who happens to be the most hated team in the league (no, not because you're successful -- let's not start that drivel again), you should expect relevant stories. The vast majority of the articles and diaries on this site are about the Colts and Colts alone. Seriously, look at them right now. However, unlike Pats fans, we can see the world and the league beyond our own team, and enjoy discussing such matters. If you don't that's fine; it's your preference and your business. But this is our preference, our business, and our site. Nobody asked you to come here.
Not a Troll
And I also stand by saying it will be a disappointing offseason. The Colts were one of the two teams who were supposed to be in the Superbowl for the AFC, and they dropped their only playoff game to a hurt team. I say the same about the Packers and even worse about the Cowboys.
I legit like the Colts. I just think that the amount of hate towards the Pats here has come close to ecilpsing the love of the Colts, and it comes off as tacky at best.
by ZTurgeon on Feb 12, 2008 6:02 PM EST up reply actions
Tacky at best
Scoreboard:
You and many other Pats fans: coming to our site to mock us immediately and for weeks after our loss.
Us: Staying on our own site and trying to hold cheaters and dirty players accountable for their statements and actions.
I think we win this debate pretty handily. But I don't expect a Pats fan to understand anything negative about his team, no matter how obvious to the rest of the world.
Don't care about the Pats bitching

Ummm
So how bout them trolls
Oh, and spent the better part of three weeks posting inflammatory comments to us because they thought they were invincible. It was as if they didn't have a super bowl to discuss, just how much better they felt they were and such.
Oh, and then after dropping off the face of the earth in humiliation after their massive choke job (in a game that never mattered more and where they were two TD favorites), they act surprised that the Colts fans are still dicussing it nine days later (remember they doubled that, and would've continued forever if they'd won the super bowl).
No you are not over it. Don't be in denial. We will continue to periodically remember your arrogance and demise this offseason as we discuss our own future. Thanks for stopping by and reminding us of how glad we were to see you have to eat it.

It's draft and free agent time, it's about time that every football fan in general starts focusing on that. Colts, Pats, Giants, Everyone included.

I just pray that the Colts blow them out next season.
All i can say is..
Pro Bowl Selections
The selections are based on regular season performances and clearly a lot of individuals on the Pats outperformed the individuals on other teams. Their O-line was outstanding, receivers great and defense held up pretty good too. Same goes for the Cowboys too. The Giants on the other hand stunk it up pretty bad all over except for their D-line which was very good all season long, and which did get represented in the Pro Bowl.
Yeah, Vrabel needs to shut about the "media" driving people's opinions. Before you know it they'll start dropping the "Disrespect" word!! Ha ha ha!
hey BBS, explain to me how
Fact is that the Cowboys are that more talented than the Giants and should have 10 times more players than the Giants. As a Colts fan, you should understand more than anyone that the best team doesn't always win, its the team that plays the best during the playoffs that wins the SB.

Your Contridicting yourself
If the best team always won, the Pats would be the Champs right now. The Colts would have beat the Chargers. The Cowboys would have knocked off the giants early, then beat the Packers.
You can't say that the regular season means jack (beyond the bye I agree with this) and then say that the best team wins.
Thats why there are playoffs. It's the Team that plays better, not the team that is better.

When a good team/ athlete loses
they can still be the better team/athlete.
When Tyson lost to Buster Douglas - a fight that shocked the boxing world, wasn't Tyson still the "better" boxer even though he lost?? Buster Douglas was better than tyson on that given night but let them fight that same fight 5 more times and tyson would win 4 of them.
How many times has Tiger Woods lost a tournament?? If I remember correctly he is consistently labeled the "best" player in golf today --- the player that beats him is not the "better" player...he played better than Tiger on that day.
Better teams can lose. It's pretty much a fact in any sporting event. What about overtime in football?? Both teams play 4 quarters and end up in a tie , a coin flip basically decides the winner in most cases because that team will drive down and get close enough to score a touchdown...After playing four quarters all players are tired, winded, hurting, etc...now they have to play another couple of minutes to decide who is the better team??
While I agree,

It wasn't
Sounds good
Without checking, I was just wondering if you were always sensible, or if you were among the obnoxious and ridiculous Pats fans that filled our site with taunts while we were down. Because none of them sounded this way then. Now they are either in hiding or singing a different song. However, that does not necessarily apply to you.
The death of Hill was tragic. It's particularly moving that he helped save his friend's life before he died. I'm sure the team kept him in their hearts all season as they pushed for perfection.

Regular season achievements are just that, regular season achievements. When it comes to the playoffs, you have chance to start anew. Records are 0-0, all of the troubles, trials, and tribulations that you had to go through during the regular season are over. No team is perfect, and no team deserves to be looked at as if they don't stand a chance against another team. Which is why the fact that the "best team ever" got fucking creamed in the Super Bowl makes it even more cherishable. You even said so yourself, you didn't think the Giants stood a chance. Why is that exactly? There was nothing I saw from the Pats all year that said they were unbeatable. The week 17 game between the two teams pretty much proved to me that they are both on equal terms as far as talent and the ability to play the game, or did you forget about that game too?
Fact of the matter is, two teams are alloted the same amount of time to score as many points/keep the opposing team from scoring points. So therefore, the team who wins the game is better that game. Like I said before, they are not infinitely better, we don't know who would win if they had to play 10 times, that is all completely irrelevant. The whole purpose of a NFL season is to be crowned the Champions, and in my opinion that means you carry the label as "the best team in XXXX," PERIOD.

Colts players do not get booed and the team is not widely hated. Why is that Vince? They are more successful than you have been the last few seasons. Sheesh.
Love vrabel trying to blame the media when as stated, the media was fellating the collective organization every fuggin day.
It seems clear to me the players simply are clueless about what they did during the season. It is as if they truly don't realize they ran up scores, talked trash, cheated, etc. Amazing...
