« Because Today's the Day | Main | SOTU Address: Triply-Worthless » January 22, 2007The Colts IndeedWhile I appreciate David's support of the Colts in the post below, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out the delicious plate of crow which can be found in a post of his on September of last year. Don't look now, but 7 of the 12 NFL "experts" on ESPN.com picked the Indianapolis Colts to win the Super Bowl this year. Do these guys not realize Peyton Manning is still the Colts' quarterback? I know this is blasphemy, but if your QB can't avoid the rush and can't handle the blame for past playoff letdowns ("idiot kicker" "there were protection issues"), you've got a lot to prove.Granted, the Colts haven't won it yet, but they're at least on the dance floor. Say, how're those Steelers? ;-) Posted by Joshua Claybourn at January 22, 2007 03:25 PM CommentsPosted by: Balta at January 22, 2007 10:08 PM | permalink Yeah, it's good, although I think the black coach barrier has been pretty much broken already. I think that sometimes people focus too much on these "firsts." For instance, "first black coaches in the Super Bowl"--is that really a milestone for civil rights, or just the fact that the players and coaching staff (of all colors) of those teams did a good enough job to get there?

The Bears have shown the ability to win games even with their offense moving backwards. Just ask Arizona. (I still like the Colts though) I am psyched for the Mike Tomlin era. I just hope the city is ready for a coach who's (a) black and (b) doesn't speak with a yinzer accent. Posted by: DMD at January 23, 2007 10:23 AM | permalink A big thanks to Tony Dungey and the Colts, who, with their win Sunday, guaranteed that I will never have to listen to drivel about no African-American coach having won the Super Bowl.
