Lenny from Indy

Listen to this guy… “If you ain’t blue you ain’t true!”

“Sip and dip and take that trip!”

I want to party with this guy.  You know he probably knows all the great places to hang out.

Bonus Peyton!

When did I know?

…when  tribute videos to Peyton Manning start to appear on youtube…

Gets the blood pumping again… the song he used is kinda average but meh… who cares… NFL football is coming back.

NFL preseason games were in full swing over the weekend.  They were mostly boring but these are the best story lines from around the league.

While we know Luke McCown is a good quarterback, don’t bury David Garrard just yet.

Sage Rosenfels.  I know Brett Favre.  I’ve had the pleasure of watching Brett Favre play football.  You sir are no Brett Favre.

Kyle Orton will start for the Broncos.  Hopefully he stays healthy all year long because Tim Tebow needs a little more learning time.

Oh and Pray for the Indianapolis Colts.  If Peyton has to miss any game time, Curtis Painter will drive the Colts over a cliff.

Colts owner Jim Irsay made his second trip to Colts training camp this week.  And, he’s keeping Colts fans happy with cash.

Practice was coming to a close, he walks over to the fans near a fence circling the stadium and starts to pass out envelopes. They envelope had an autographed picture of himself and $100.

NFL football owners are wacky.  I know, I know.  WHAT?  NFL OWNERS ON THE EDGE?  Bud Adams and Jerry Jones to name two right away.  They are my favorite wacky owners.  However, Irsay’s wacky side seems to be at the same level as Ed McMahon giving cash away like he did in the 80′s for Publishers Clearing House.

I get the feeling that Irsay has got to be a ton of fun in a bar.  Absolutely need to hang out with him at some point.

I mean he spent a few million on the original manuscript for Jack Kerouac’s On The Road.  Check this out?

You know he’d be up for doing body shots off of 23 year old girls.  Kudos Jim.  Long may you run.

“There were times that the looks were there and everything I’ve been taught in running this system was to run it,” said Manning, who has the final say in the play-calling when the Colts get to the line of scrimmage. “But I’d call the run and we’d get one yard, be in second-and-9. After awhile, you do that and it’s hard to keep coming back to it.”

Bill Polian was asked if this was a problem.  His answer was, “Is it a problem? No.”

Some people have issues with Bill Polian.  Not I.  Dude has created a real version of Camelot in Indianapolis.  Love Bill Polian.  Go talk to the city of Buffalo and ask how they have been since Bill Polian was asked to leave.  Don’t waste your time.  The Buffalo Bills have been poop since.  Long may Bill Polian run.

The biggest “controversy” in the Colts off-season found here.

NFL Football is coming back… I SEE IT ON THE HORIZON!  Camps are about to start and that means I know have purpose in life.  Let’s dip our toe in the water slowly… Let’s take a look around…

Colts offensive guard Kyle DeVan knows that training camp means you need to beat up your teammates for a roster slot.  FEEL THE EYE OF HIS TIGER!

Usually when you do stuff like this it means you have nothing left musically to offer.

Houston Texans breaks down all of the linebackers who will not be sacking Peyton Manning this year.

It’s a 2 BILLION dollar oops!

Rams high school fans finish higher in competitive play than the actual team.  They would of had a worse draft pick if these kids played on the Rams.

Sex tapes that shoulda woulda coulda made some mad cash money.

Meet Broncos cheerleader Candace.  She needs me.  I’m almost sure of it.

If these are the top 5 players who fans should feel good about because they had a good camp, well… the Chiefs are screwed.

Someone tell the idiots who run the Cleveland Browns that taking the rookies on a field trip to the Football Hall of Fame in Canton in no way, shape, or form will get the players psyched about the “possibilities”.  When will Browns ownership learn that football clearly is not for them. – clevelandbrowns.com

Lose 28 pounds the Nick Eason way.  Not good.  However, we are glad he is still alive. – pittsburghlive.com

5 reasons why the Colts will be back in the Super Bowl.  ALL DEFENSE RELATED YOU SCRUBS! – indyfootballreport.com

Dallas Cowbitches to keep 6 wide recievers on the roster.  Indecisive bitches.  Hate you Cowjerks. – dallasnews.com

Rames Barden better get real good real fast or it’s another frustrating year for Giants fans, and the teams Super Bowl winning quarterback who stopped the Patriots perfect season bid. – ESPN.com

Arizona Cardinals wrap up June in a tidy blog. Lots of former Steelers on that team. – azcardinals.com

So we had some time to digest the draft.  Now slowly we will learn about the Colts draft picks.  Let’s start with Jerry Hughes, Defensive end from TCU (Texas Christian University)

High praise from the NFL Network talking heads.  They are comparing him to Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl champion Lamarr Woodley.  That’s high praise.  Here are some positives/negatives on Jerry Hughes…

Positives:

- Top pass rusher in College for the past few years.  Jerry has as they say in the business of football, “moves”.

- Tough.

- Gets blockers off of him quickly.

- Athletic.

- Good at tracking down runners on the back side.

Negatives:

- Size.

- Speed.

I’m not 100% sure that these negatives are all that negative.  With the Colts’ superior coaching staff one has to believe the negatives are very fixable.

Looks like Bill Pollian scored a great find.  Kudos.

The Indianapolis Colts!

A dream season!  The leagues MVP quarterback. 14 games in a row were wins!  The unstoppable Indianapolis Colts!

Then… game 15… they closed up shop… Walked away from a undefeated season because they needed to rest players…THE CITY SCREAMED IN ANGER!!!  GRRRR!

Truthfully, the city whined like little bitches.  WAH WAH WAH!  We want the undefeated season!

Bill Polian, the artichect of the Buffalo Bills from 1986 to 1993 and this great Indianapolis Colts team understands what it takes to get to the Super Bowl.  Since 1989 Bill has been involved with putting together 6 Super Bowl teams.

6.

That’s quite an impressive number.  Granted of the 6 teams only 1 raised the trophy but, how many other people in his position with other teams can say that they have accomplished this feat on two 2 teams.  Not one other person.

I bring this up because I notice amongst the good people of Indianapolis there seems to be this , “Anti Bill Polian” vibe in the city.  Let me give this to you in simple words… CUT IT OUT MORONS.  The guy created Camelot here and you are to stupid to understand what is in front of your non-deserving eyeballs.  Go ask every citizen of Buffalo and ask them how the Bills are doing after Mr. Polian was unceremoniously asked to leave the building?  THEY HAVE NEVER RECOVERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Show some respect to the man.

Ooopps… Sorry… back on topic… Bill Polian and his staff understood that the only thing that matters is getting to the Super Bowl.  Many veteran and banged up players were given time to rest for the playoff run.

The Colts defeated the Ravens and Jets on the path to the teams second Super Bowl appearance in 4 years.

What happens next is what every franchise that is at the top of their game experiences in only nightmares, being outplayed on the sports world’s biggest stage.

Much like the Colts last Super Bowl appearance, the half ended and it was still a close game.  However, the Colts came out and immediately felt the full force of a masterful aggressive game plan from Saints head coach Sean Payton.  Sean made some adjustments to the Saints game plan, while it seemed the Colts made none.  Reality TV star Hank Baskett failed to cover a onside kick from the Saints at the beginning of the third quarter.  In hindsight, the game ended right at that moment.  A player who was signed because Anthony Gonzalez went down to injury in game one of the season is the shining moment of failure for our beloved Colts in the Super Bowl.

Painful footage here:

Me gets the idea that Hank might not be a member of the Colts next year… Can’t wait for that next season of Kendra!

In Conclusion… If the Colts were to be a hot chick in a club during the regular season they would look like this….

Bumpin’ in da’ club.  Drinking 40′s and having a good ole’ time.  Sadly, closing time has come and the lights are on… this hot chick really looks like this….

The harsh morning light shows us that, well… we had a good time but we were really drunk.  I mean really, really, really off the scale hammered.  Now comes the rest of our life part…

What happens next?

Usually a team that loses a Super Bowl goes into the “dark ages” and takes years to recover (See 99/00 Giants, 04/05 Seahawks or o6/07 Bears).  However, none of those teams had Super genius Bill Polian at the helm.  In what might be a uncapped salary year, the Colts have the entire core of the team expect for Peyton Manning and Gary Brackett under contract.  So what do you think Mr. Polian is going to do here?  He’s going to sign Peyton and Gary and the team is going to be very competitive next year.

You might not of won it all last year Colts but, you have one of the better shots in the league to win it all next season.

On Monday we’ll continue our ongoing series on why your team didn’t win it all.  Check back Monday morning as we dissect the drama that is the Detroit Lions.

Ugh.  Sorry I haven’t been around for a minute.  I think I was stunned by the Super Bowl upset as our beloved Colts were taken down by the New Orleans Saints.  It was a really great game, sadly the wrong team won.  No seriously, congrats to the Saints.  They are a classy organization and it is well deserved, even if that douche nozzle Jeremy Shockey is on the team.  I was pretty happy that his only ring was won while he sad on the sidelines with a broken leg while he was a member of the New York Giants.  If that’s my only complaint against the Saints Organization, then it was a well deserved win.

These are the images that now are apart of sports history…

and to the victor goes the spoils… Mardi Gras is now starting in New Orleans and Drew Brees (former Purdue great) was named the king of Mardi Gras. The king is called “King Bacchus”. You get to wear a King of Bacchus outfit and people hail you….

Starting tomorrow we will start a series of why your team didn’t win it all… We’ll start with the Colts and then hammer the rest of the league.

Kudos the the Saints on a great game.

…He got carried away…but…who could blame him?

Better simulation of the game…

I found this online!  This is not what I needed to see today…
