What gets me is that one side you have the NE Patriots. Won two of the last three Super Bowls. Went 14 and 2 for the season. Have never been beat in a playoff game at home. Have an excellent running and passing game. Have a damn good defence. Yet, even despite of those facts - the media and everyone else pretty concluded that they would be, more or less (no actually came out and said it, but we all know it was *there*) underdogs against this supposed unstoppable Colts team, who by the way have no Super Bowl trophies as the *Indy* Colts. With a QB who has never beaten them in games that have mattered.
The Colts put on a good showing - despite their lack of offensive production. Holding the Patriots to only 6 points for an entire half AT Foxboro (in a playoff) game IS something to be proud of.
As I've said before I actually Manning AND Dungy... Manning seems to be a good guy both on and off the field, never heard him trash talking anyone... and he is a very talented QB. Dungy also seems to have a great attitude and seems to be a good sportsman. But, they lost fair and square... and no despite this NE team beating what the media hailed as an *unstoppable machine* STILL no one believes that the Pat's will go back to the big one. Despite everything laid out in front of them - all the wins, the records, and everything else - people (including the media) STILL think NE is going to go down in flames.... and all I can do is LOL.
NE will beat the Steelers and they will go on to win another SB... and next year it will start all over again with the Pats not getting the props they deserve. Brady will still be a *chump* and the Pats will still be overrated. But, hey with soon to be three Super Bowl rings - who the fuck cares what everyone else thinks?
