Sean Salisbury is a Peyton Manning ball washer. The clown should have been fired for his cell phone picture antics.

 

[5 Rings for Brady!!]

Thank god! I hope they all pick the Dolts.

The moment all four f#ckers on nfl countdown picked the Chargers was the moment I felt in my heart that the Pats really would pull it out!

 

[SWelker]

I love being the underdogs, let the media talk about Manning, AV and co all week, we will sit in Foxboro, practice what we need to do and coem out to play Sunday. Just like this past week.

 

[pats63]

GOOD,We weren't even suppose to be in the playoffs.....There is all of haters in the media.....I am sure Dan Marino will pick the Dolts.....I think deep down inside he knows PAY-ME-A-TON is in the same boat......GO PATS!!!:rocker:

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

who did he pick for this week?

He actually picked the Patriots. He says, at least he was saying this, he doesn't like picking against BB in the big games.

Based on the early results America thinks the Pats will win.

[BradfordPatsFan]

Trent Dilfer just said that everyone will be picking against the Colts this week and that the Colts will win despite that. Please...

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

rememebr last time troy brown broke a patriots receiving record and was flagged for a personal foul.

any idea who didn't play in that first indy game except for rodney?

plus the defense finally slowed manning in the 2nd half.

 

[since67]

If I'm not mistaken Sean picked the Chargers 'officially', with the hedge/disclaimer that if the Pats won he wouldn't be surprised...

I tell you what, if Manning and the Colts lose AGAIN this time to the Pats in the playoffs, being at home, and the declared favorite, he is really going to be considered a BUST that can never win the big ones. I would imagine, if the Pats can win it, the media is going to be on him so much, that he may just lose it this time around. Maybe I am just a homer, but I think it is going to be tough to beat Coach BB a third straight time. I would imagine BB has even more motive for this week.


And, I just don't see Brady and the Pats turning the ball over 5 times again, like back in October. We had 5 TO's and still had a chance to tie the game until the last TO.

Sean Salisbury took a picture of his penis with his cell phone and emailed to women on the ESPN staff. 'nuff said.

As a Tennessee Volunteer, Peyton Manning never beat the Florida Gators.

 

[DaBruinz]

Peyton, to my knowledge, hasn't won ANYTHING other than Division titles since High School. Now Bowl games. No NFL Championships.

The Chargers game was our Super Bowl.

It's all downhill from here.

4 in 6. The dynasty is alive and well.

The Chargers game was our Super Bowl.

I hope the team doesn't take that attitude. The Colts are always tough and the league will be pulling for them like usual. Then if we get past the Colts, we'll play the Saints, another sentimentally favored team with a damn good offense. If the D plays like it did today, we should do it. But don't assume it's already our's.

 

[DougGabriel2007]

Neal and Graham both didnt play, could help the running game a lot....

I hope everyone choses the Colts to win. Thats what we need.

Remember the last time Salisbury chose the Colts in the playoffs vs the Pats? What happened? Remember when he started kissing the Patriots' ass endlessly?
