“In their nine postseason appearances, they(Colts) were one-and-done five times.”

That’s all you need to read. Such underachieving by the Colts.

I wish Curran had popped a line in about how meaningless the “team of the decade” debates are.

There is a visceral beauty in watching media hacks attack each other. You know that what you’re really seeing on display is the pent-up anger they feel at the miserable decline of their industry. They try to take it out on readers, viewers, and listeners. But when that fails, they go after each other. It’s all good to see.

I’ve actually reached the point where this sort of thing doesn’t even bother me anymore. I haven’t read a Borgess/Felger/Massarotti/etc. article in years. And it’s not that I think they’re biased or have some kind of agenda against the local teams either. I just think that they’re going to work the angle that best antagonizes their readership regardless of what their actual opinion may or may not be.

This is like Lakers/Celtics. I still think Tom Brady has done more with less. Peyton has always had receivers and running backs. Tom Brady only recently has receivers, yet won all of his bowls with a bunch of guys that have fallen off the face of the earth. Branch, Givens, Patten….They did nothing when the left the Pats!

I think it dates back to two things: Belichick refused to let Borges bully him at press conferences during his first season the way Pete Carroll allowed him to during his three years in Foxboro–he simply refused to answer his more obnoxious questions and just moved on to the next questioner; and Belichick got rid of Bledsoe, who was Borges’ main “insider source” of information about what was going on within the organization.

I can’t prove either theory, of course, but that’s the scuttlebutt I’ve always heard.

I always thought writers were suppose to make both sides of the argument – as always Borges has some ridiculous bias against the Pats probably because Bill won’t give him any useful quotes.

Why does anyone read anything that Borges writes about the Patriots? It is always a pack of lies that suit his agenda. Oh and there’s that plagiarism thing too.

Got it and, unfortunately for the Sox, Jetah doesn’t suck either.

Tony, just wanted to be clear, I wasn’t directing that at you, at all; I completely got what you were saying, and agree. I was directing my comment towards those who embrace the tiresome ‘Jetah Sux’ fan model.
