Opined another league source in the wake of the decision to put Simon on the non-football injury/illness list and not pay him the rest of his 2006 salary, "He seems to be the biggest ******* in the league, but no one talks about him. . . . [H]e thinks he's the Commissioner of the NFL. They are *****ing about the substitution rule as if those [really bad word that even we can't find a good way to partially block] are free of manipulation of the rules. The fat ass of all time D-line coach [John Teerlinck] teaches to go low at quarterbacks to more easily get them off their game and if they get hurt in the process so be it. They pump noise into their stadium and when the opponents have the ball so their midget defensive ends can get a better jump."
​

It's prompted some in league circles to refer to Polian as "Nepolian."
​

Not bad. We didn't come up with it, but we're happy to start using it. ​

That's the best description of Polian/The Colts I've heard to date!

Well, he sure does make it easy to root against the Dolts.

PFT on "Nepolian"

For all the nonsensical blather of PFT it is often very very funny, and there's a particularly piquant piece running at the moment about how the Corey Simon business is making a monkey of Bill Polian - nicknamed, quite brilliantly imho, Nepolian.

Ummm... I don't get it. Is it a play on "Napoleon", i.e. Napoleon Bonaparte? Because if so, it's quite funny but PFT partly ruined the joke by spelling it with an E rather than an A, it should "Napolian". Or am I missing something?

Especially because the local nickname for IndiaNAPolis is NAPtown.

Its related to Napoleon Dynamite . . . one of the Manning boys played Uncle Rico.
