Resurgent Colts. Unsurgent Chargers. It’s Another Game That Looked Great Before the Season Started!
11.23.08
Two teams hanging on the fringes of playoff possibility (and the Chargers only because they play in the AFC West) meet for the first time since the Volektricity memorably backed up Marmalard’s vicious taunts of Indy fans in what was the final game ever in the RCA Dome. Now the Colts can effectively end the Chargers season and do a big favor to their own Wild Card aspirations with another road victory over an AFC rival.
But who gives a shit? We demand more cheerleader goodness, NBC. You were so good about it when New England was in town. If I have to deal with the sulking expressions of Dungy, Norval and Pey-Pey with no cheerleader chaser, so help me I’ll switch over to Dexter. I’ll do it! I mean it!

Hey–
Me and a bunch of my office buddies love this site–it’s awesome. But recently a bunch of us got in trouble for looking at it at work (because of all the boobies that pop up on screen). Apparently looking at sites with half naked women is not respectful or work friendly…??
We were hoping that you would consider not including the boob shots until after the jumps–that way we (and I’m sure tons of other office fans like us) can enjoy the site at work without getting fired.
@ Gino: I second the T-day lock except substituing crown for scotch!
@ PE
Heigh-o!
@ Monkey Business
I didn’t know Skol was a vodka brand, but a quick google search confirms it is- and is rather cheap. The part about “…I have to drink to watch Brad Childress destroy Purple Jesus’ health and psyche, one game at a time” is quite true. Skål Drunkeness!
I thought it was “Skol Vikings” as in “I have to name drop the cheap ass shit vodka I have to drink to watch Brad Childress destroy Purple Jesus’ health and psyche, one game at a time”?
In other news, the Colts are pushing the Pats out of the playoffs as of today. They hold the edge in tiebreakers against pretty much everyone. And have the easiest schedule in football from here on out.
Can we officially call them “The team that no one wants to play in rounds 1-4″?
RAIDERS!
YES!
Bear Down, Gino.
VIKINGS vs. BEARS next week.
Skål Vikings, you bitch-titted assclowns!
No he can’t, Ape. It would set a bad example for Elisha.
“There’s another word we use, but guts will do.”
YOU CAN SAY BALLS ON TEEVEE, PEYTON
In the words of Bill Simmons, “That was a YOOGE game!”
Never thought I’d say this but I feel bad for Marmalard. He deserves better than this team. I’d welcome him with open arms to Philly next year…
Thanksgiving Day Lock: Drinking lots of Scotch and secretly burning one behind the garage so I can stand my relatives.
Man, some kid in San Francisco (he really should remove all personal info from his ESPN profile) is one pick away from a million dollars.
It’s gonna be great when the 8-8 Broncos get a home playoff game.
Welp, that wasn’t much of a surprise.
Vegas absolutely got hurt on this one. Oh my did they get hurt on this one.
It was all jokes before, but Merrimen really IS going to rape someone tonight
Oh, the butterflies.
Neuter!
Noonan!
Well this is a pickle.
Jesus Fucking Christ…are they sure they didn’t want to measure it twice? I think Pey Pey looked a little confused on some of the finer points of the play.
THAT’S NOT WHAT IRONY MEANS, AL! Fuck.
Please miss. The refs gave them this chance.
Punt!
“This looks like it’s going to be two inches either way.”
Thatswhatshesaid!
AND THEY’RE MEASURING TOO?!
Jesus.
Do the Colts get tea and crumpets during their free break?
Beat me to the punch, Ape.
He wasn’t even close. The fact that they stopped play and gave Indy a chance to call a play is appalling.
Way to give the Colts a free timeout, refs.
Can we stop calling Vinateri one of the best kickers in the league yet? Please????
Refresh me: unlimited overtimes, right?
Screencap of Ms. Flotation Devices 2008 plz.
With one million dollars on the line, Charlie Brown is kicking the field goal.
My money’s on the kid who’s attempting to win the million.
Dangit – the above is supposed to be in a vintage Calculon soul-rending scream of anguish, but apparently the software don’t like brackets.
Season on the line, LT. No pressure. 4-7.
LaHandInjury?
5 points – that’s all I need to win this week. I have LT and Pey-Pey…. and I ain’t gonna get my 5 points.
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!
Hold me close my Tiny Darrrren… count the headlights on the hiiiiighway….
Great return, Tiny Darren
Double Stuf on the Colts on 3rd down
Thank you, Nissan for offering your 0% financing in a tasteful and decent manner.
Fuck you, Rosie O’Donnell.
The old one with Woody Allen, right?
That new Bond is OK, but after seeing it I’ve realized that Casino Royale is the best Bond movie.
tommy from quinzee says: HEY DUNGY YA DAHKIE. YA FUH-GAWT ABOUT HESTAH!
The way your defense has been playing, you may want to consider attempting to recover an onside kick here.
Strange game – Colts are ahead and they’re throwing the ball, Bolts are behind and they’re running…
I’m gonna dip my bawls in it!
My college roommate had nuggnuts. They finally had to get him on penicillin to cure it.
Too bad Tennessee lost today; an 11-0 team vs. an 0-11 squad on Thanksgiving would’ve been a little more interesting.
Titans fans don’t travel that well, Slothrop.
I thought the Bolts would bring more than this with the season on the line.
What’s the over / under on attendance at Ford Field? 20K?
Peyton: “why didn’t you stay inbounds?”
Harrison: “I’m 40″
If I were him I’d milk it for a while, do a few talk show appearances, write a memoir.
Very suspect penalty right there
Probably not coming off a loss. It’ll probably be in the 11-14 range on the road
Is the line out on Tennessee-Detroit? Is it in the 07 Pats’ range?
I wonder if the kid looking for a lock will take Tennessee over Detroit
On the other hand if the Chargers win I’ll have some money to gamble with on Turkey Day. Gobble gobble.
But if the Chargers lose some kid will be one pick away from winning a million dollars. Can you imagine? Find one lock and win a million bucks.
Give Marmalard a pair of crutches and you’ve got Jimmy.
“Wow, what great audience!”
dammit, Chargers, you have two jobs here: 1: Win. 2: Blow out one or more of Peyton’s joints. These goals can be accomplished if you are willing to work at them.
The Raiders have been doing that for 2/3 of a season until a light bulb went off in Cable’s head today and instead of choking Fargas up the middle, they actually *gasp* tried their #1 pick running back going away from the middle.
Granted, under most circumstances the Broncos couldn’t consistently stop an offense featuring 11 clones of Leopold “Butters” Stotch…
EPIC GOAL LINE BATTLE
I will keep posting this until we can declare a game a cripple fight. Last week’s CIN-PHI game was probably pretty close, but nobody ran with it.

I see the Colts learned something from the Steelers: call the same ineffective play on the goal line twice in a row
I am utterly intrigued by this ESPN Streak for the Cash contest – I’m looking at these people with 20+ straight correct picks. I don’t think I’ve ever in my life made double-digit correct picks in a row, or known anyone who has done such.
I see the site shows the percentages of people picking one way or another, maybe if you just go with the flow for a while…? But still, 20 straight. Come on.
@porky: that sounds about right for Coors’ target audience. I favored Natty Light myself for my drink until I puke soirees.
Give Peyton a wheelchair and he could be a live-action Timmy.
“Peyton! Libba-lau! Libb-lau! Peyton!”
@Slothrop…
If by that you mean move out of my stomach, back up through my throat, and into a toilet, I hear ya.
Les ven!
Gobbles!
In the spirit of the holiday:
