Congrats to Tony Dungy and the Colts on a very successful regular season! A 17-13 win over the Cardinals today left the Colts at 14-2.
On to the playoffs in 2 weeks where the Colts will face either Pittsburgh, Jacksonville or New England. Here's hoping another week off allows all the Colts to heal properly and be ready to make a run to SuperBowl XL.
Go Colts!

eat your Flutie Flakes!
i think this is an achievement!
I copied the text off of Yahoo! Sports
I can't tell you how many times "old-timers" have told me of the good ole drop kicking days.
Doug Flutie has a place in history...
Doug Flutie converted the NFL's first successful drop kick for an extra point in 64 years.
But the two-time defending champion Patriots staged a late comeback, as the 43-year-old Flutie made the NFL's first successful drop kick since Ray McLean for the Chicago Bears on Dec. 21, 1941. It followed Cassel's first pro touchdown pass, a 6-yarder to Tim Dwight that made it 25-19 with 6:10 left.
As the ball sailed through the uprights, Flutie punched the air and was mobbed by teammates. Then he ran to the sideline, where he was embraced by a smiling Belichick.
"I just thanked him for the opportunity," said Flutie, who had been dropped to third-string quarterback before the game. He felt he had "probably an 80 percent chance (of making the kick). It was fun."
That was awesome! I saw the highlights a couple of times last night. Very cool to actually see that in a game today.
Isn't Flutie 80? I mean I remember watching that BC win over Miami with my Grandpa when I was 5.
