Eric Wilbur is Great

Horse of same color- Boston Sports Blog - Boston.com - NESN: "I can just imagine the Patriots coach watching game film of the Colts this week, cackling hysterically, smoke pluming from his lips like Max Cady in Cape Fear. No sooner had everyone finished removing their puckered lips from Manning's derriere after the Colts' win at Denver Sunday, than Tom Brady upped the ante with a four-touchdown evening at Minnesota. And just like that, the Colts are shivering in fearful anticipation.

Yes, after Sunday, Peyton Manning will fall to 3-11 vs. the Patriots and just 1-8 at Foxborough. Is there any doubt of that after what we witnessed last night? The Patriots defense was relentless against the Vikings, and while Brad Johnson certainly isn't comparable to the likes of an All-Pro like Manning, we've seen enough of this script to know what to expect. And that, my friends, will be multiple angles of the Peyton pout, unsnapping his helmet in disgust after another interception. After the game, he'll want to be a good teammate, but will inevitably throw somebody under the bus."


God, I love Eric Wilbur when he gets snarky (doesn't hurt that he throws a Phish reference into 1/2 his posts). Should be a great game next weekend. I see the pats going after the Colts with the exact opposite strategy they used against the Vikings - run, run, run instead of pass, pass, pass. The Colts are ranked last in the league against the run - Dillon and Maroney are going to run all over them, the Pats will eat the clock, and Manning will have no time to score.

I'm going to try to post every day this month like Ann is trying on Sadie's blog. So expect more boring posts about sports, music and beer until December!
