Colts Pro Bowl defensive end Dwight Freeney has a torn ligament in his right ankle that will make it difficult for him to play against the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV if he can play at all, according to a source familiar with the injury.

Yeah, but don't forget - if the Colts lose, no matter how many points they scored, it's because Manning choked....

Please do not copy entire articles as it is copyright infringement and it's not permitted. Please only quote the article, and include a link underneath. Remember - the letter gets sent to me, and I'd rather avoid that if possible

as long as manning and wayne are playing no problem for the colts. no offene puts pressure on a defense for 60 minutes like them

Brees just got a little more relaxed, still have Mathis though. Looks like it will be a game of offence anyway, with or without Freeney.

Bad.. try devastating. Their defense revolves around Freeney and Mathis. Take Freeney out, Mathis will be doubled all game and Brees won't get touched.

We've had this forum in some form or another for about a decade - so yes, it's happened. Major publications, websites, etc. aren't impressed when their work is cut and pasted somewhere else, and rightly so. They write content to gain readers to their site who come and read the articles. If it's cut and pasted elsewhere, obviously people don't come - and with the current state of newspapers, advertising, etc. you're going to see it enforced even moreso. Wait until you start seeing publications move toward a "pay to read" platform and that content gets stolen - I guarantee you'll begin reading about sites, blogs, etc. getting nailed for doing it. We're about a year away from that (I believe the NY Times said 2011) but you can bet you're going to see everyone move in that direction.

Needless to say be aware of the fact that everyone needs to be careful when quoting content, and as I said be sure to provide the necessary link & credit.

After playing a far superior and far more physical D front in the Vikings Drew Brees is going to find facing even a healthy Mathis/Freeney combo no big deal. Colts D simply is not that great and the Saints will expose them big time next Sunday. Colts corners are mediocre at best. Look for the Saints deep threat to be open all day long.
