Colts vs. Chargers - Page 2

Good. I prefer a dead downtown Indianapolis.

I didn't notice Rivers in a "fight." I saw Rivers walking to the locker room. The only audio I heard was, "I appreciate that." Rivers appeared to be smiling throughout the exchange. However, at this time, the outcome of the game was anything but certain. So, I don't believe that particular instance could be counted as cockiness or rubbing it in. Where was the fight I obviously missed?

Thanks, kwilkinson. I didn't see Rivers' end-of-game going to the edge of the stands to start/finish some business. It's fine to "turn the other cheek", but I'd probably need to know more about what was actually said to gauge whether Rivers' "fuck off" was warranted. "Booing" at an opponent's stadium is a sign he's made an impact, sure. Or, rather, it can be. But it is not necessarily true.

This game, in the here and now, Rivers was on the sideline, after all. While victory should be the sweetest comeback, it's conceivable that during his sidelined time, he had a lot of nastiness heaped upon him. Who knows what lines were crossed? Are there any lines? Fans shouldn't/don't get free reign to say and do whatever, just as athletes don't/shouldn't. But, they generally both do.

I hear ya. I see why it can be considered worse on Rivers' part. But, equivocation of money and fame to a behavioral standards requirement devalues the standards, especially when the average fan isn't expected to be held to the same or effectively gets a wink-and-nod free pass.

Was this Tony Dungy's last game as an NFL coach? Truly classy dude. Unlike several of his "peers" in the league.

I heard this morning that Irsay had met with Dungy earlier this week to dissuade retirement. I'm curious whether or not something similar occurred last season.

It's true the NFL would rather have a Colts-Pats championship game than SD-Pats so those two huge calls make me wonder. The Colts have a much bigger fan base, Peyton I'd put my face on a port-a-potty if they paid me Manning, the whole rivalry. SD-Pats has very few angles for them to play up. I think the Dream Matchups for the league were Cowboys-Pats (biggest fan base, America's Team, nonstop jabbering about Romo and Brady's girlfriends), then NYG-Colts for the whole Manning vs Manning (NYG also big market), followed by GB-Pats (I can already hear them tugging on Favre's jock) I thought the refs were trying to hook up the Cowboys as well. The snap from center was so delayed from the snap count that players were moving before the ball was actually snapped on many plays. I think they only called it once on the RT Columbo. Witten was moving so early I thought it was CFL. Joey Porter was right.. couple of years ago the refs tried to hand the game to the Colts but once PIT made it, they did everything they could to give it to them instead of Seattle. Who cares about Seattle right? Certainly not as bad as NBA (eg different set of rules for Lebron particularly traveling/charging) but still sickening.

You know you're on thin ice rhetorically any time you find yourself saying "Joey Porter was right".

He's like a broken clock.

Good job by the Charggers, they played full game and how about Volek!! He drove the Charggers down the field and scored himself The game showed how important Marvin Harrison to PM and the Colts. SD is built to stop a team like the Colts and have their number. Nice int. return by Cromartie even though it was call back. I don't think SD can beat NE. Only NE can beat NE.
