New England Patriots

This will be my last football post for a while. Unless Dungy retires in the next week or so. I'll probably mention that.

Let's put aside the fact that the Patriots were absolutely caught cheating against the Jets in Week One, a conviction that warranted the biggest fine in NFL history. Let's put aside the fact that Rodney Harrison used HGH. Let's put aside the fact that Tommy Brady is icky. Let's forget that Bill Belichick can't dress himself. Let's even ignore that I am a Colts fan and I am conditioned to dislike the New England Patriots.

It's just that I don't want to root for a team that approaches football the same way Enron executives approached profits. That's all.

Think Peyton can import a little bit of that artificial crowd noise to his brother?

I actually thought about how Peyton might be able to help Eli. But I think Peyton's football IQ is high enough that he'd just end up confusing and flustering the little guy.

Who are these Patriots you keep speaking about? Are they really true Americans?
