Man, feel like that dude with the beard. Uh, what’s his name?

Rumplemintz?

You know who am talking about? I think he was in a coma or something.  Probably drug related, I figure.

Anyway, I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while, but my agent, Scott Bored Ass, has been in negotiations with WCBias for more pay. So far the only payment I’ve received is a couple of football helmet stickers you get from those grocery store gumball machines — and one of them was the Raiders, which I figure hasn’t been worth anything in about seven years. Frustrated, I’ve taken to standing in front of the WCBias office with one of those “Shame On WCBias” union banners that do nothing but show just how weak and lame labor unions have become.

I think when the mob buried Hoffa they also buried the labor movement. But that’s another story except that it brings to mind that old rumor that Hoffa was buried in the end zone at Giants Stadium, which recalls that old joke that he spent more time in the end zone than the Giant offense. Which brings me — in some meandering way — to Eli Manning, who, being related to Peyton Manning, brings me to the real topic I’m writing about:

That hot race car driving chick.

No, no, no — just kidding.  I’m really, actually talking about the Colts.

I guess I’m pretty tired of the naysayers complaining about the Colts basically giving up against the Jets. They say the Colts should have kept their regulars in and gone for that undefeated season and blah blah blah. But I wonder what those people would say if Manning had remained in the game and gotten the ole Joe Theisman treatment, ruining the Colts chances at a championship.

While the Colts are the winningest (that a word?) NFL team of any decade, the fact remains that they have won just one Super Bowl. And going undefeated in the regular season doesn’t really do much to help them win another.

Besides, it’s not like it hasn’t been done. The Patriots were 16-0 just recently. And while the Colts could have gone for the perfect undefeated regular season + undefeated playoffs, the fact is it’s just hard to win that much.

As the Patriots discovered.

When you think about it, it’s just not natural to win that much.  After all, what good does being perfect do for you?

And, if nothing else, Colt fans, let’s not forget that the Chargers have been your nemesis in the past few years, and they’re looking good again. So maybe a bit of rest would do some good.

So this Sunday against the Bills? Rest the entire team.  It’s at Buffalo so no one there will care. In fact, maybe Peyton Manning should take a little nap like that bearded dude – Rumple What’s His Face.
