    Congrats on the recent wins...some very dramatic. Britt looks like a keeper, though if I was him I'd be sore as hell after the hit I took on that last pass against the Cardinals. WOW!
    VY's surprising me. I thought he was done after the shenanigans he pulled last year. Nice to see he (apparently) got his head together and decided football can be very good to him if he keeps his head on straight. I hope he does...he seems like a good kid who maybe just needed a little time and perspective to see things the way he should.

    I've been coming here for the past several years....made a few friends, probably some enemies. It's all good. Looking forward to renewing the rivalry again this week. Your team's playing well, but can they keep it going this week? We shall see.

    As for the topic of the thread....

    Over the years many here (and you know who you are) have sworn beyond the shadow of any doubt the Colts would be in Salary Cap Hell next year...or the year after. I'd guess this talk started about the time Peyton got his mega-deal.
    Since that time his little brother's gotten a bigger deal.
    Since that time Mike Vick's gotten a bigger deal...then worked for pennies a day in the Grey Bar Hotel.
    Since that time.....well, since that time the Colts have somehow avoided (IMO) that tag. We're consistently one of the youngest teams in the NFL, yet the young guys (Jabob Lacey, Jerraud Powers, Antoine Bethea, Melvin Bullitt just to name a few) have come in and gotten the job done...in some cases as well or (arguably) better than the players that have been injured or let go to avoid the SCH so many here said there was no way in hell Polian and the Colts could avoid.

    The question: Do you still see SCH coming for the Colts, or has Polian proven he knows what he's doing and you were wrong :wink2:? I've debated this several times here over the years but haven't been on the board much over the past year as real life has gotten in the way far too often. I look forward to reading your views now.

    Here's to no injuries and a memorable/great game this week!

    So what you're saying is "That Bill Polian is one incredibly smart guy", right?

    :wink2:

    I'm not trying to get this post moved to the Smack Forum (my original post contained a legitimate question), but once again GoT has showed everyone his intelligence level.

    Sheesh...somebody get this guy a spell-checker for Christmas :lol:.

    C'mon, GoT...you were one of the guys swearing up and down Salary Hell was right around the corner. Surely you have an intelligent thought ( :hmm: ) on the subject now, don't you?

    Ill say it, polian is very good at what he does. I don't see them getting into salary cap hell any time soon.

    I just want to see how smart Poulan and his hord of offspring are when 18 goes down for a few games. When Fuller gets his 4 step run up and shears Gaytons right rotator cuff into fragements the Poulanians will not be so smart.

    I don't care about anything in ponyland except for the Titans leaving with a W


    FWIW it took the ponies getting phantom penalties to beat the stinking cows. Nice candyland pass interference call, at least the next pass interference call of the drive was legit.

    A colt fan comes in here the week before we play them and wants us to praise him for being right about one thing from years past??

    I can see why Peyton is your hero...

    There's the wino that I know. How's it going?

    Over the last decade, Polian has been the best in the league. They've somehow managed to avoid "the purge" and they have done an outstanding job with their early draft picks. Maybe New England can make a case for better cap management/drafting but it would be close.

    Sorry, Wino. I'm smack talk with ya but it won't be on this subject. ;)
