Jealousy.

Are you saying that if roles were reversed, there wouldn't be Pats fans over at the colts board defending Brady? I can think of two threads off the top of my head that called for Pats fan to particpate in Brady vs Manning debates on the Colts board. Do a search.

After you said this:
True. Law of averages says it was about time - aided by the flu sweeping through the Pats locker room and a bad flag for a rule that had been changed (face-guarding.) Regardless, congrats to Manning and the Colts for that win.
Why must you try and discredit Manning to the point where you look foolish? The guy is one of the greatest qb's ever, and even if you don't think he's as good as Brady (which is rediculous) How much worse is he? 1% - 2%?

Easy. It's two different responses to two different comments. The first comment was in response to what FBall said about essentially discrediting each of the Patriots' championships. The other comment was in response to the 'excuses, excuses' comment from a Colts' fan who felt it necessary to visit a fan forum and dog that team and their quarterback.

Exactly where did I discredit Manning? Did I say even one disparing word about him? No, because I think he's one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the NFL.

Now, in the name of truth in advertising, don't you think you might want to consider changing your name from BostonPatriot to IndianapolisColt?

That pretty much nails it. With apologies to the two very cool Steeler fans who often visit and comment, I thought Pittsburgh fans as a whole had the biggest levels of insecurity, inferiority complexes and obsession with the Pats. Apparently Colt fans are right up there too.

UPDATE.....

Colts change their wording of injury....calling it a third degree low basketball sprain.....

Status still remains questionable.

A thrid degree sprain is the "proffesional" term, it's still pretty bad and he has torn ligament/s. I had a grade 3 a few years ago, leaves your ankle pretty weak afterwards too unless you do extensive strengthening work.

And how have Brady's last 5 years been? The 2007 SB was arguably the biggest single-team choke in football history (and he was QB, btw)

I don't think you grasp either the meaning of the word "excuse" (in sporting context) or the meaning of the word "choke". But, that's to be expected from a Colts fan.

The rainy weather helped the Colts as well - Grossman had like how many slips and mishandling of the footballs in that game?

Yeah, I know Grossman is terrible, but in all fairness, if the weather was OK, I doubt Rex would have slipped and fumbled like that in the game.(i.e. on one possession in the 2nd half, they were moving the ball fine, until Rex slipped down on 3rd and 1)

Colts RBs usually step up big in big games as well(even though they're only above average), alot like they did a couple of years ago.
