Man, I miss Harrison, James, and Glenn. Though Blair White reminds me a bit of Stokely.

In honor of 18 to 88
One of Marvin Harrison's best catches from Peyton Manning during the Colts vs. Titans game in 2003. Pierre Garcon's one handed Magneto-glove catch last year was pretty awesome too.

Blast from the Past: Colts vs. Buccaneers Full 2003 Game
If there is no football this year, I'm certain I will present my family practitioner with a number of football withdrawal symptoms. I'm only guessing, but based on my past behavior, these symptoms would probably range from yelling "get open, get open!" at slow automatic sliding doors to stuffing my shirt with a football and walking around like that for the whole day. In the office. At the park. While running my upcoming half-marathon. Some girls like to stuff their bras. I like to pretend I'm 7 months pregnant and about to give birth to a giant, pig-skin covered olive.
I don't know.
Football makes me do weird things.
But, I found this little gem: the full Monday Night Miracle game! The one where the Colts kick major ass when least expected on one of their awesome comebacks from behind. Peyton Manning and company went to town and put a bow on Tony Dungy's birthday present when they played against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2003 and won.
Here is the whole game. Enjoy!

Today would have been Colts vs. Steelers
If only Nick Folk didn't make that last second field goal, today we'd be watching Peyton Manning and the Colts face off against the Steelers. But as we all know, wild card Saturday did not play out that way, so instead we have the Ravens vs. the Steelers.
I am rooting for the Ravens for these reasons and these reasons only:
They are totally unrelated to football talent and skill, but I don't care. You don't fly on a robot raven and destroy Saturn for no reason.
But for a trip down memory lane, here are some highlights from the Colts vs. Steelers game back in week 10 of 2008. The Colts were behind, but Manning managed to engineer another comeback to win the game 24-20:
I am rooting for the Ravens for these reasons and these reasons only:
- Ben Loss-his-burger would get another chance at a ring if the Ravens lost
- Ray Lewis did a good job narrating the NFL piece on Manning being the number 8 football player in the league
- Ray Lewis' Old Spice commercial was funny

Blast from the Past: Colts vs. Jets 2010 AFC Championship Game Highlights
Peyton Manning and the Colts play the New York Jets this Saturday in the first round of playoffs. The two teams played twice last year, with the Jets winning a meaningless game in December when Caldwell decided to rest starters. However, in their second match up, the Colts went on to win the AFC Championship game.
I remember watching that game. And I distinctly recall feeling worried at the end of the first half.
The Jets came out roaring and sacked Manning twice from the get go. Number 18 was visibly frustrated and our defense was visibly asleep. In the days leading up to the game, all everyone could talk about was the Colts' decision to rest starters and how that would kill their momentum. And with the Jets leading into the half, could it be that those people were actually right?
However, something happened in the locker room during half time. Manning and company returned to the field only to carve up the Jets' defense and win the game, 30-17.

This highlight reel made me nostalgic, worried, and proud all at the same time.
Nostalgic for the 2009 team when our starters were healthy, worried for the Colts team this year because most of the guys making plays in the highlight reel are now on IR, but ultimately proud because our men in blue have truly done a great job. The personnel changes were unexpected and the in-season adjustments were shaky at times, but Manning and the Colts just kept chugging along. In fact, the C in Colts should stand for Comeback.
As for the game this Saturday against the Jets, the Colts have a good shot at winning. I'll bust out my magic 8 ball to answer questions about the game tomorrow.

Peyton Manning is going Bowlin'
Peyton Manning was selected third in line to go to the 2011 Pro Bowl in Hawaii. Tom Brady was chosen first and Philip Rivers second. In the NFC, the quarterback lineup is Michael Vick, Matt Ryan, and Drew Brees, in that order. The only other Colts' who made the roster were: Reggie Wayne, Dwight Freeney, and Robert Mathis. So much for fan voting!
I can't remember the last time I actually watched a Pro Bowl game. I only think of two things when I hear Pro Bowl: 1) the word stupid and 2) Manning in an ugly red jersey. At any rate, here's a nice flashback to the 2008 Pro Bowl when Kassim Osgood play-interviewed Manning. Osgood talks about how he dropped a perfect pass from Manning and Manning sarcastically retorts, "There was really no excuse whatsoever for you not to catch it." I also like how he plugged in his undeniable trust in Reggie Wayne. If Reggie misses a pass, it's okay. He'll still throw to him a second time because he knows he will make the catch then. For some reason, hearing that made me feel extra optimistic for the Colts.

The 2011 Pro Bowl is only a month away, but I'm going to be bold, Naga Viper bold, and say that Peyton won't be showing up as a reserve. Not because Tom Brady is going to pass and go purse shopping instead, but because the Colts are going to go to the Super Bowl. Wishful thinking? Maybe. Impossible? Most certainly not.
I know, I know. I shouldn't get ahead of myself... but I'm just so proud of how much this beat up team has accomplished. No run game? Boom, 100+ yards rushing in the last two games. Weak defense? Boom, who's stopping the runs now? Manning in a slump? Nope. Don't think so. It seems like the Colts are finally finding their stride.
However, they have a tough fight ahead of them should they (and they probably will) win against the Titans this upcoming Sunday and make the playoffs. I've got a feeling that they have some magic blue fairy dust hiding under their shoulder pads and helmets though! Feelings don't win football games, but then again, that's why I stay glued to the sofa every Sunday while Number 18 and the Colts go out and make things happen.
Go Colts! Let's hit the jackpot!

Peyton Manning and his naked bootlegs
That headline almost sounds like a story put out by the National Enquirer. Fortunately for those of us with eyes, Peyton Manning is not a public cross-dresser, at least not to my knowledge. The only bootlegs he dons are the ones that kick his opponents' butts.
Yesterday, Manning ran for 27 yards with a little over a minute left in the game against the Raiders. No one on the o-line knew it was coming and even though Manning was just a hair faster than the fat guy on the Patriots who returned a kickoff for 71 yards, he did it like a pro. In fact, Manning should get an Oscar nod for best actor in a non-acting role:

According to the Indianapolis Star, Manning said he would have made the touchdown if he wanted to. So, he really was just being a classy, smart guy. Yes, the touchdown would have put the Colts up a 2 score lead, but taking a knee and running out the clock not only prevents unnecessary injury, it also absolutely destroys any glimmer of hope, no matter how small, of a Raiders' comeback. I also want to point out what a great job Dominic Rhodes did hustling from the backfield all the way to be there to help Manning block.
Even though you rarely see Manning breaking out his inner Michael Vick, this 27-yarder was not the longest Manning has ever run.

Monday Night Miracle - 2003 Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Indianapolis Colts
Here's a Monday blast from the past highlight of Peyton Manning's incredible 21 point 4th quarter comeback against the Buccaneers back in 2003:

It was probably the best homecoming (this game was Dungy's first return to Tampa Bay after they fired him) and birthday present Tony Dungy ever received.
Mid-season MVP - Peyton Manning?
Peyton Manning won the MVP award last year and I think he should win it again this year.
Here's a flashback to his 2009 season MVP highlights (cue super dramatic music):

Blast from the Past: Colts vs. Jaguars Full 2009 Game
Peyton Manning and the Colts play the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday (4:05pm, watch on CBS). The Colts typically win when they play against the Jaguars, but with Brown, Addai, Garcon, and Collie all listed as questionable, the usually tough games may become even tougher.
