What an arrogant POS. The whistle was human error, plain and simple. A bad mistake for sure, but nothing else can be said or done about it. If I was a Colts fan I'd be ashamed of that guy.

He's been a very successful squeaky wheel. I'm starting to sense a backlash since he's gone to the well a few too many times.

That is VERY true! The Angels are the darlings of the NFL and Polian has been a driving force in the 'femanization' of the NFL. Just once I want a writer to record Polian's rants in the press box and release the recordings to the media. According to Paul Parrillo the guy was as out of control during the Patriot game as Paul has ever seen. Did nothing but rip on his own players the entire game. How cool would it be to listen to a tape of Polian's rants all across America? Dude is mentally unstable.
Amazing just how fraudulent the Colts media generated public image is.

Rhody, and everybody, think about this:

The reason the Colts are the darlings of the NFL is that they tried soooo hard for sooooo long to get past the big bad evil Patriots. That's how he's gotten this free pass for six years now.

I'm really, really glad we were able to overcome all obstacles -- including the refs -- in Indy in week 9. I think what Polian believes his whining will get him is in excess of what it will get him.

But I also believe America will only care about his whining if he wins another Super Bowl. That's how the Pats got in trouble - getting too good, becomming the Yankees of the NFL.

Essentially, people like scrappy underdogs and don't like dynasties.

By that premise I hope the Colts continue to be the darlings of the public for a very, very long time.

I'll take the Lombardi's

You know what's funny PatFanInVa? Everyone may hate us but everyone wants to watch us. That's why NBC moves the Pats/Bills game to prime time during their November sweeps rating period. It ain't 'cause of the Bills!

Fans may hate us but people love to watch this team play. And the ratings will only build as this team continues to win.

Its amazing that a member of the rules committee openly criticizes the referees any time a call goes against his team. This is not a good thing for the league. Isn't there an NFL edict where coaches can be fined for opennly criticizing the officiating. Why wouldn't the same hold true for GMs.

BB has never disparaged the officiating even when prodded by the media.

But then again, the Colts represent all that is good in life, while the Patriots are just down-right evil.

Longtime, first time... my weekly outrage has finally pushed me over the lurking edge.

Just want to add a couple o' pennies on Pole-I-Am's latest.

But that’s immaterial. It didn’t affect the outcome of the game. However, had the first down stood...

He of course goes on to blame the entire loss on the immaterial spot that didn't affect the game. Like in the next sentence.

One thing you can't take away from the guy: he's got some balls.

I second the idea to compile all the complaints, particularly the "official" ones, the godly colts have issued over these runner-up years. List 'em side-by-side with all those Pats complaints.

Wonder if I can still access Lexis/Nexis. Probably take a while to sift through hits on (Polian OR Dungy) AND (official w/2 complaint).

This is whats most important in this newest example of Polian's behavior. He's been an embarrassment for the Colts fans and organization for many years now and at some point his position on the Competition Committee becomes just another black mark on the NF L's reputation. Goddell really needs to address the credibility of the competition committee with Polian being on it for so long. How often are the members rotated? How are they chosen etc.???

Another example of Polian's hubris:

Another Polian complaint...???
