I bet when he originally wrote it "whinnying" was "whining", but either he or his editor felt that was too obvious so he changed it
Curran clearly hates Polian from their days together in the press box. That's where Curran heard all of him BS, I believe.
Ya, wasn't it Curran who was witness ot the Polian explosion and the "break Flutie's leg" incident?
I suppose he has the right to try to make the rules fit the strengths of the Colts, but to be so brazen about it smacks of despair. It's a good sign that he has so little confidence in his team that he wants the refs to aid and abet the passing game. I think the refs, as usual, will do their best to follow the rules, rather than follow Polian's attempt at manipulating them.
Thanks for the link!
I have stopped browsing most of other sites and stick to this forum for good discussions and updates. In my opinion, a very good % of the devoted fans in this website deliver far more accurate and revealing analysis than any of the experts out there. That, in addition to links to articles like these (+ or - about the Pats) that the fans recommend, makes it thoroughly enjoyable and easy for regular fans like me.
A zillion thanks to: (a) owner of this website, (b) individuals behind the scenes doing a great job maintaining the site, and (c) the great PatsFans!
Go PATS!!
I think it's natural to finda team to pull for in the evnt that the Pats lose but it's getting more difficult to find one I respect enough.
I thought the Chargers might have been the ones until they showed such a lack of class after the game (and in Merriman's case, during it), and as long as the colts have Polian trying to manipulate the rules and influence the officials, I could never pull for them.
Guess i'll just have to stick with the Pats...poor me!
Polian quickly added that it's not about his team. It's the product he's concerned about
I worry not so much about us -- we can play any style
You went something like two-and-a-half games before a touchdown was scored?
Anytime you get a game that's totally field goals, and especially in the playoffs when you do, without question, have the four best teams in the AFC left on that particular weekend, you ought to have more scoring than that," Polian continued. "Again, I think it's something we have to look hard at. Not with respect to individual games or individual teams, but what kind of a game are we going to have going forward."
There were two hits on Peyton that we sent to the league office in terms of questioning whether or not they should have been called," Polian said. "We'll see when the league office comes back. There was also a low hit that I thought for sure should have been flagged. We'll see."
The rules are great as long as they favor the Colts. Or Polian
