Shit For Brains

I have observed some things in the past few weeks that really have me scratching my head. The Colts, of course, are one of them. “Deserving” championships is another.

I'll take these in order. The Colts so far this off season have resigned a kick returner who can't hold on to the ball, have signed NO big name free agents, have let their best linebacker basically leave without compensation and have not renegotiated the one contract that can insure the financial health of the team for several years to come.

The signing of Troy Walters, or rather the resigning baffles. Why in the hell would you keep a guy like this who has shown his ineffectiveness time and time again? He fumbles all the fucking time. Yet, there he is, getting a new contract with the Colts. I don't know of anyone who wanted to keep this boob, but apparently that dumbass Bill Polian wanted him.

As for Mike Peterson, well we just basically let him go. Word from Colts camp is that he just isn't a Tony Dungy type of player. Okay, I can see that. What I can't see is just letting him get away uncompensated. Where is the sense in that?

Peterson and Walters bring me to my Polian point. This guy is ruining the Colts. He is not a player in free agency. He has made enough questionable calls on draft day to negate the Peyton and Edge picks. Now his latest fiascos. I honestly believe Polian knows exactly what the fans want to see and he does the opposite. His incessant ramblings about the lack of fan support or fan knowledge is nothing more that his own self doubt. This guy had a helluva run at Buffalo and Carolina, but we are talking about pre-cap days. He is clueless in the salary cap era.

Bill, if you're going to carp about fan support it might help if you quit gutting the team every other year to show you're in charge. How the hell do we get behind a player if he is replaced every other year? Moron Polian wrecked one of the best lines in the NFL by letting Steve McKinney get away. But instead of admitting error he blames the fans for not being knowledgeable or supportive. This clown has got to go and go NOW.
And what about this so-called superstar quarterback? Peyton's a good guy by all indication and in the scope of the NFL, probably a top 10 QB. Top 5…no freakin' way. If we keep this guy and let him eat up 20% or more of our cap we are doomed. First of all he's not worth it and second, even if he was the second coming of Joe Montana it is a team game. Again Polian seems to be dropping the ball on this one.

The last thing about the Colts is about the attitude the message boards seem to have. Generally opinion on just about every facet is split. People love Peyton, people hate him. Same with Edge, Dungy, Polian, Peterson etc. What I can't abide by is that the team owner should get a free pass with his problems. Today I read that with his personal problems still up in the air, nothing will be resolved about Peyton or any big name free agents. It went on to say that his problems weren't our business. Well hello pal! I got news for you, I will be the one who decides what is and is not my business. I just cut a check for half my season tickets for next year. I now have more than just a passing interest in the team and if his pill problem still exists then he needs to get help or sell the team and kill himself chemically. If that sounds harsh, sorry, but I find it no harsher than someone telling me what my business is. So you dickless piece of shit, piss off. I'm making it my business and I want to know what is going on to keep the team here. If they are leaving then let me know so I can find another team. And if one more of you message board idiots tells me how great we are and then tell me how it would be worse if we were Bengal fans then please call me so I can take you get some bullets and a gun so you can shoot yourselves.

Speaking of dickless pieces of shit, I had the pleasure of meeting someone who wanted Indiana basketball coach Mike Davis fired. Killed is probably a more accurate word for what he wanted done to Davis. Apparently Mike Davis is not running the program well enough or at least to this individuals liking. Well to be honest, I haven't exactly liked what I have seen this year myself, but I do remember last March!

Upon further discussion I found out that this person was a graduate of Indiana University. I also found out that he went to IU not because of their business school(his degree), but rather because of their basketball team. Seems he liked what happened in 1976 and decided that was his kind of school. Once I heard this, the rest of his smack made sense. In his mind, or whatever he used to put thoughts together with, he deserved a national championship because he graduated from IU. The arguments that ensued would fill another page, but the bottom line is that apparently he is the only college grad in America and since he graduated from IU he deserves that championship.

It takes all kinds to make this world go around and there are some real fucking dandies out there.
