Excuse our rather feeble attempt at toilet humor here but this screen grab from last night’s Super Bowl looks almost too good to be true.

Yes, there is a “Gay” on the Saints football team, Randall Gay to be exact. And what these two Colts players are doing could also be construed as “gay”.

And like Jerry Seinfeld so eloquently said years ago…

“Everyone thinks we’re gay!… Not that there’s anything wrong with that.” That seems like a most appropriate caption.

Holly Madison held a Super Bowl party at Lavo night club Saturday night called the Holly bowl. Naming a party after yourself isn’t really unique, in fact its kind of egocentric. But alas, I’m not sure anybody really cares if she looks like that.

Donned in a Peyton Manning jersey, Holly obviously had a strong rooting interest in the game. Can’t say I’m shocked that a chick who probably knows nothing about sports and who’s famous for showing her boobies to everyone is a front runner.

Unfortunately for Madison, her Colts choked big time. Some of the blame actually goes to her co-star on “Girls Next Door”, Kendra Wilkinson and her husband Hank Baskett. It was Baskett who allowed that onside kick to bounce off his helmet to give the Saints momentum to start the second half.

Woops!

Colts fans, feel free to use these three boneheads as your celebrity scapegoats. In the meantime, I’ll enjoy these pics of Madison.

I got a text tonight from a friend, “Nice prediction” (what an a-hole). I’d feel bad about my prediction if I was going out on a limb or I was the only pseudo sports expert who thought the Colts were the far, superior team.

But I don’t.

The Saints won a game on the defensive side of the ball and with some gutsy coaching decisions. And while gutsy coaching decisions have been a staple of Sean Payton’s coaching career, the Saints haven’t exactly been stellar on defense the last couple of months.

Going for it on 4th down late in the second half looked like a failure at first, but when the Colts gave the ball right back and the Saints scored, all seemed well again.

And then the onside kick to begin the 2nd half was nothing short of brilliant. The Colts were caught with their pants down and any momentum they could have regained was lost.

But certainly the play people will be talking about for years is the Tracy Porter’s interception return for a TD that sealed the game.

Apparently, (and of course this could just be hogwash from the Saints) they had a surprise defense for Peyton in the second half. And while I’m not sure this was exactly disguised as opposed to a mix up between Wayne and Manning, it worked nonetheless.

Manning quickly went from “GOAT” to “A great quarterback who has trouble in big games”.

Sadly, he’ll be remembered for the one mistake that cost him and not the 3 1/2 quarters spent shredding the Saints defense.

On the other side, Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees was spectacular. Rarely missing a throw after the first quarter and being patient in waiting for plays to develop down field.

He was the best player on a team that managed to only lose three games all year. Congrats to the New Orleans Saints, your Super Bowl XLIV winner.

Now, we’re not sure if this picture was taken before or after the play, but regardless, it looks like Peyton’s deal with the devil is starting to take shape.

Scary, and no, this was not photoshopped. Strap some horns on that guy and call him Lucifer

While I would love to see the Saints win, I just don’t think they have enough defense to pull it off. Frankly, I’m surprised they’ve gotten this far being that weak on one side of the ball. They dominated teams early in the season but jumping out to huge leads and pinning their backs on the rush. But as the season went on, they struggled in low scoring games, losers of their last three.

They have NO shot in this game if its the in the 20s. At a minimum, they’ll need 35 points to even sniff a victory.

As for the Colts, this game will cement Peyton Manning as the greatest quarterback in NFL history. If he doesn’t throw for at least 300 yards and 3 touchdowns, I’d be completely shocked.

Colts-38
Saints-21

I predict that Peyton Manning will struggle through the first 20 minutes, then pick the Saints apart with laser-like precision and the Colts will cover the spread. I also predict that a female Saints fan will take her top off and someone will get it on video and post it on the Internet.

I think that the Colts win this game. Last week the Saints gave up almost 500 yards of offense to a team that I don’t feel is as good of an offense as Peyton and the Colts. They also had the 26th ranked pass defense during the season and while a lot of that was due to teams having to play catch-up to their high powered offense, I still think Peyton Manning takes over this game. He’s been in this situation before, so I doubt he’ll get the jitters and try to force things and I just see him having a much easier time letting the game come to him than Brees will. Manning is a great pace guy and doesn’t mind playing from behind in the 4th quarter, so I think if the Saint’s offense struggles to get moving (depends a lot on the health of Dwight Freeney), then Manning will systematically pick apart the Saints defense and win his second Super Bowl ring.

Although it could just as easily turn into an epic “Wild Bunch-esque” shootout; sending the “over” on yards and Brett Favre gunslinger references through the roof and my remote control through my television.

I go with the Colts, but it’s gonna be close…

i’d like to see the saints, but i think picking them would be more heart than head

34-24 colts

The Colts are going to win, they have the greatest quarterback in the history of the game. His organization is already working on a new contract for him that’s going to make him the highest paid football player of all time, and all this is being reported before they’ve even played the game.

The Saints are the clear fan favorite, I think they have a wider arsenal of weapons, their receivers just DON’T drop balls. But, betting against Peyton is just throwing money away. So I’m going to place a bet on the Colts, but I’ll be rooting for the Saints, because New Orleans deserves some celebratory rioting, and I’m an nfc south guy. Colts, 38-31

I’ll be honest in saying I’m rooting for any result that doesn’t include Brett Favre in the Superbowl. The sappy, feel good stories from every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the writing world would be overwhelming. We’d probably even be forced to watch John Madden come out of retirement to butter-up his boy in the next two weeks. That would even be more brutal than those crappy Frank Caliendo impressions.

So having gone 6-2 in this years playoff run, I feel confident in my Saints-Colts prediction. Sorry Jets fans, your run has been nothing short of miraculous, but your defense can’t stop the reigning MVP.

Jets 10
Colts 21

Vikings 24
Saints 31

We won’t call ourselves Nostradamus or professional handicappers or anything…However, last week we amazingly went 4-0 and correctly picked the Jets/Bengals score and almost had the Ravens/Pats score on the nose.

This week, its gets a little tougher. Obviously, the Ravens have proved that you don’t need to throw the ball in a playoff game if the other team can’t stop the run.

So without further adieu, here are our picks for the week.

New Orleans 38
Arizona 21

If they couldn’t stop Aaron Rodgers last week, there’s no reason for anybody to believe they can stop Drew Brees. Giving up 38 points is being kind.

Indianapolis 24
Baltimore 21

Can’t see the Ravens linemen dominating yet another game against a team that’s well rested. I also can’t see Manning having a “Brady-esque” game.

New York 17
San Diego 24

Fair to say that Darrelle Revis probably deserved more consideration for defensive player of the year. His shutdown abilities are probably unmatched in the NFL. But can he make a difference in the running game too? Nah

Dallas 27
Minnesota 14

Brett Favre should watch his Blindside tomorrow because Demarcus Ware is a force to be reckoned with. And let’s all hope for our own sanity, that this is Brett Favre’s FINAL, FINAL game.

On the heels of a GQ article about Marvin Harrison and his involvement in a Philadelphia shooting, the FBI has announced that it will also be looking into the matter.

From Fanhouse:

The FBI has joined Philadelphia police in an investigation into whether the fatal shooting of a drug dealer was connected to an earlier incident, one in which the victim claimed that he was shot at by former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison, ESPN reported Thursday.

Dwight Dixon was killed in Philadelphia on July 21, 2009, when an unknown gunman fired six shots into his Toyota Camry — four times through the back window and two more through the passenger’s side window.

…Dixon, who was shot in the chest and stomach, was gunned down in an area close to two establishments owned by Harrison, a bar called Playmakers and a car wash.

I’ll admit to being somewhat naive about Marvin Harrison. Guns, violence, and massive felony cover-ups didn’t seem to be in his repertoire. Then again, what can you really know about somebody when your information is limited to a 3 hour window on Sunday afternoon?

I mean, raise your hand if you thought “family man” Tiger Woods was banging a Pancake waitress in a church parking lot.

(Apologies for the visual, but I wake up and laugh about that story everyday. Not exactly a WWJD moment was it?)

As for Harrison….not looking good for him. I put the odds of him going to jail at a little better than 2 to 1. But don’t take my word on stuff like this. I once thought getting in your car drunk and hitting a pedestrian without braking would at least get you a few years in the slammer. Donte Stallworth has since proved me wrong.

The Colts, who have been a very respected and successful organization over the last decade pulled a big no-no with the fans on Sunday.

In the 3rd quarter, coach Jim Caldwell pulled his starters and the Colts went on to lose the game and blow a potentially perfect season.

To say the least, Colts fans who have followed the team and pay good money to go see games weren’t happy. So when Bill Polian went to do his weekly radio show on Monday, things got heated.

A brief summary from a Indianapolis Colts blog

* One caller claimed Polian and the Colts had run from the win.

* Another caller, a polite but obviously agitated lady, brought up the point that it was unfair to charge fans high ticket prices during a recession only to see the team pull starters.

* Another fan, which happened to be the last caller of the show, challenged Polian by stating the obviously: The Colts did not put forth a maximum effort to win because they pulled their starters at a critical time in the game.

After a heated exchange with another fan, the broadcast went dead. You can bet that if the Colts somehow fail prior to the Super Bowl this year, many will call for Polian’s head. It may be one thing to rest a guy who has an injury but its quite another to bench your starters in a winnable game at home.

Coming from someone who’s a Lions fan, even I find that despicable. And I lived through the Millen years.

Bob Sanders makes a ton of great tackles…..when he’s healthy

Bob Sanders is a pro-bowl level safety…when he’s healthy

Bob Sanders is a player you can build your franchise around…when he’s healthy

And that my friends is the way Sanders will always be remembered.  A great player that was often hurt.

Of his 6 years in the league, he has only played more than 6 games twice.

Twice???

That doesn’t even constitute half a season.  47 games in 6 seasons.  And now, after only playing 2 games this season, ESPNs Adam Schefter is reporting that he is done for the year with a torn biceps tendon.

Listen, I realize guys want to get as much money they can, while they can.  A few bumps and bruises and a surgery here and there can patch most guys up.  But at what point do you say, “I just can’t go on”.

Tony Dungy seems to be everyone’s mentor these days so maybe he can offer some words of advice for Bob.  And hopefully for Sanders sake,  they include the words, “Hang ‘em up”.
