How do I hate the Patriots? Let me
count the ways: I root for the Colts, therefore I must. Their
quarterback has too much snark and lives with Giselle. They have a
history of bending (and breaking) the rules.
Yet after further review, the ruling on
the field stands. I have concluded the funky formation the Pats used
against the Ravens in last Saturdays' playoff game—and the quick
snap count that QB used to get the plays off before the defense
figured things out—were completely legal.

Once again coach Pats Coach Bill Belichick
walks two steps ahead of the herd. What will he do this week against
My Colts? Close the windows at your practice facility, Coach Pagano.
Put your players on total social media lock-down. Call in the NSA
to do counter-surveillance.
Why do I dislike Des Bryant? I have no
use for loud-mouths who taunt and act like divas begging for encores
every time they ACTUALLY CATCH A PASS! But if the rules state he did
not make that catch in yesterday's playoff game, the rules need
changing. Spare me the explanations. He made a fantastic catch.
The Patriots would likely have
beaten the Ravens even without the touchdown that capped the drive in
which they got their funk on. But could the Packers have retaken the
lead had Bryant's catch stood and the Cowboys scored the probable
touchdown to follow? We'll never know. For shame, NFL.
