1) I don't like Tony Kornheiser doing MNF. I'm a big fan of PTI, but he just doesn't work here. And it was really annoying in the first quarter, during an exciting game, to hear him keep bringing up crap about the football god, Tom Edward Brady. For pete's sake, save that for the end of the game when nobody's watching. It's bad enough that we have to hear about it everywhere else in the media, why talk about him in the middle of drives during an exciting game?
2) I hate the celebrity appearances in the 3rd quarter. Hate is not a strong enough word. I loathe it. I'm sure it probably gives them more viewers, or they have some statistic or dollar sign to justify it, but for a real football fan, it's ludicrous. It's even worse than every station hiring their own Bonnie Bernstein to cover injury reports and sideline interviews.
3) Peyton Manning is not trying to make a statement about being overshadowed by Tom Brady. Why did they bring this up like 50 times? Stupid! Do they honestly think he's thinking about that? You guys are morons! Who cares? And all he's thinking about this week is Carolina. Look, the Pats/Colts game on Nov. 4 is a huge game, nobody is debating that and I know it makes for great ratings and will be hyped up. But Monday night's game was ten times more significant for the Colts. If you think Peyton is worried about Brady breaking his record, or stealing headlines, or any of that crap, you don't know a dang thing about football.
4) Hagler is really playing well. I remember the first time I noticed him was in the Kansas City playoff game last year. It was a punt return and he just leveled the guy. I remember us saying, "that guy got 'Haglered.'" How about that? I just found the clip:
5) The play of the game for me was Sanders making a one on one tackle when they went for it on 4-1. Odd play call from Jacksonville, but we'll take it.
6) I don't think I've ever seen the Colts get a safety. Now if we could only return a kick for a touchdown.
7) Peyton was awesome. There were a few huge plays where he would stay in the pocket for one extra second in order to make a play downfield. And he got punished for it almost every time. Anyways, everyone knows Peyton is awesome.
8) Great game by the Colts. It's been so long since I've seen them lose a game, I'll probably be depressed when it happens.
9) GO HORSE!

I had to do a double-take when I saw that you had made a new post on my Google Reader. It's great to be assured of your existence once again in this dark, cold and gloomy universe we call blogdom. I have also fallen off the whole blog-about-how-awesome-the-Colts-are radar in my own blog galaxy.
It's time to start posting about them again.
I agree with everything you said about the game. Kornheiser is an obstinately aggravating boob who needs to shut up and say something that is remotely football related. That whole bit about Peyton needing to make a statement is probably the most ridiculous thing I've heard a commentator say about Manning (with the exception of everything Joe Theisman has every said)
GO COLTS!!!!!!!!
Yes... I agree! Okay, one thing I realized is how much Kornheiser does not know the Colts at all! To think for one second that Peyton Manning feels he has something to prove is just rediculous. And.. to think for one second that the Colts are thinking of anything more than next week is plain dumb. I LOVED Dungy's comment at the end. They asked about what he felt about playing the Patriots and he basically said that he just looks week to week and made a comment like... I "think" we play the Pats in two weeks but I don't look that far ahead. Haha.. I thought that was great.. I "THINK" we play them in two weeks as if to say how much he isn't sweating it at this point. Classic!
well put, oh!, and one more thing..GO COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also will have to agree. I was up until 5 in the morning here watching it and skypeing with Joel so he could watch it! And Tony wouldn't shut up, and I wasn't happy. haha. So, well put, and go Hagler, and Go Horse!
