It’s the 8-0 Patriots against the 7-0 Colts, or “Good vs. Evil” as both ESPN and Fox have touted the past week in identical headlines.
Such a tired double standard exists when it comes to the Colts and Patriots. When it is the Patriots and Tom Brady that threaten the record-performances put up by Manning and the Colts in the past, folks start to get nervous. The love-fest that exists for Madison Ave.’s favorite son extends to his coach Tony Dungy, a nice, congenial man who takes the time out every Sunday morning to bake for the team on the opposite sideline. Or so, we should think.

After beating the Texans, 41-9 on Nov. 14 three years ago, ESPN’s Eric Allen addressed the issue as to whether or not Manning should have been pulled in the fourth quarter. “I don't think they should have for two reasons. One, right now Manning is extremely hot and has the opportunity to break a few very hard to reach records. It's nice to see a guy in the zone that much still on the field making it happen for his team.”
That was then. That was Manning. When it comes to Brady and the Patriots, the story completely changes. For the Colts, it’s history, and special. For the Patriots, it’s smug and disrespectful.

Hey Colts fans--this is EXACTLY what we're always talking about. The obvious double standard. It's okay though... keep pretending it doesn't exist cause it's just fuel to the fire--or as one poster likes to say--tacklin' fuel!
