We're just that good.

Just take my advice…
Mar 15th
So after my recent assessment of the team’s needs (this article was posted a few weeks ago), the Colts have followed my list thus far. However, I did find it pretty funny that I read multiple articles in the Indianapolis Star, other big city newspapers around the Midwest and sports websites about the same basic needs of this team. Maybe it’s just as obvious to everyone as it is to me or maybe Bill Polian (and his future appointed GM son, Chris) read a lot of sports blogs for advice about how to build their team. Either way, it made me laugh. With the combine over and the draft just a little more than a month away, the Colts have been a little more active than usual during this free-agent period. Let’s compare my assessment with what has happened so far.
Random Musings on the Draft and Combine
Feb 24th
So the NFL Scouting Combine started today, big whoop. Unless you are in the minority — one of the few times being in the minority is actually a good thing — and pay for the NFL Network, you probably won’t be able to see any of it, aside from video clips on NFL.com. Either way, the underwear olympics is in full swing, which means the draft is just that much closer.
If you’re concerned you may be missing out on the excitement of the combine, trust me, you aren’t missing much. The only important part about the combine are the player interviews and the mental tests. The shuttle run, 40 yard dash, high jump, bench press, and the rest of the crap those guys are subjected to, is meaningless. If you weren’t aware that these draftees are really fast and really strong then I recommend counseling or a taking a higher dose of your sanity meds.
The future looks bright

Lets go back to the Super Bowl game for a moment (now before you start swearing like a sailor at me and going to the next article, please listen to me, just give me a minute).
I can’t get that game out of my head; I can’t get away from it anywhere. A constant reminder haunts me on the NFL network (who are apparently trying to kill Colts fans since the game is replayed at least a few times a week) and most sports sites, especially if they have an NFL page. I don’t believe it helps either that Mardi Gras started early this year has been going on now for almost a month. Believe me, Colts fans, I do not want to think about it anymore either, but we played not to lose, too conservative, not well enough to win, unlike we did the rest of the regular season, including the playoffs. For me, the bitterness of the Super Bowl has passed and is totally forgotten. Ok that’s a giant lie, but at least I can admit it and try working on being more positive.
