Jags week came at the right time. I’ve been in a little funk for the last couple of weeks thanks to all the injuries and the inevitability of what’s to come this season. The thrill was gone until January, but thankfully the Jags are coming to town.
I can’t wait for this game.
I have the sneaky suspicion that the kitties are going to get their heads handed to them on Sunday, and I couldn’t be happier about it. Jack Del Rio’s comments about the Colts couldn’t have been more ill timed. I think the roof is going to come off the dome Sunday from 56,000 people determined to make sure Vic suffers permanent hearing loss.
I haven’t been more excited for a game in a looooong time. I’m not sure what we have to avenge exactly, but it feels like a reckoning is due. The Jags like to whine and preen, but they have yet to prove the they belong with the big dogs. The best part is that even if they win, they are still only in second place in the division. The Colts only have to go 4-1 to win the South and probably to clinch the 2 seed. I think we go 5-0.
The reason for my confidence? It finally looks like Tony Ugoh is ready to go.
(Cue the Hallelujah chorus)
This fact has been lost on Bill Simmons who concocts a scenario that is impossible. He somehow has the Colts losing the South and hosting the Browns during WC weekend. Um, Bill, this isn’t 1988. That scenario isn’t possible. WC teams don’t host other WC teams. But whatever, we know you’ve stopped paying any real attention to sports about 18 months ago.
John Clayton says the worst is over for the Horse.
In other news, Tommy Boy is up for a big award. Be sure to vote for him. Thanks Dave, for the link.
Eyes in the Backfield should be up later tonight.
Demond Sanders: Bill Simmons has a loud mouth, and the fact that he’s usually wrong only compounds the problem. His career record picking against the spread is awful. He can write about the NBA all he wants, but he has no business writing about the NFL. It was sweet to see him and his team in ruins last January, but this year it is going to be legendary.
