anyhow....

being both a college football and a giants fan, i can't honestly say that i've seen enough pats or colts games to honestly call this one with confidence. but from what little i've seen and from what i've read on paper, this pats team is something else. plus, being a michigan man, have to pull for my boy brady.

and i also kind of like the idea of belichick and his army completely layinig waste to the nfl for what they did to them for this whole spygate thing. really amusing.

i think the patriots look unbeatable to this point. but no team has been unbeatable for 35 years, and the colts look pretty darn good themselves. better than last year, even.

the score for this one could be ridiculous...51-45 or something

I call the Pats because of their solid defense versus Indys mediocre D. Both have explosive offenses with multiple threats in both in the passing game and the running game. New England gets the nod because of their stifling defense. N.E. by 14.

i figure patriots win, but it's close.

patriots 45 - colts 38

at foxboro i'd say pats by 14+

Blame Bill Cosby for that one. Seriously, jelly is the stuff besides marmalade and preserves that you put on your toast in the morning. Jello is the stuff you have for dessert or kids have for a snack. Brand naming gone wild.

Advert is too close to pervert. And I mean pervert in the horsey way and not the looking at schoolgirls way.

though i do find it amusing, esox, that you call these warriors lightweights when you love a sport where players regularly fall to the ground clutching their legs as if they've been kneecapped with a tire iron after being brushed by some guy who looks like he'd be more comfortable in a modern furniture store.

(ok, fine, i like that sport too :;)

Any time Esox, you can catch good ones in sight of my work. There are a number of competition level lakes within a 50 mile drive of my house.

like i give a ****.

i'm ashamed to be British. I'd rather be an American and that's saying something.

i don't feel it necessary to compete about everything.

i remember a Davis Cup Golf match a few years ago. Europe was winning at one point and the American crowd were totally hostile, booing and jering.

bad sportsmen americans. thats why they play only in their own country. they cant stand losing.

nope, never win anything internationally...except in basketball, track and field, swimming, baseball (yes, it is the most popular sport in other countries, such as japan, puerto rico, korea, venezuela, cuba, etc.), cycling, skiing, tennis, golf, etc. etc.
