But I must admit a lot of Colt fans tick me off with their current arrogance. It wasn't that long ago they were finishing 1-15 and drafting Jeff George while the Irsay's were still considered bumbling fools who deserted a great football market in Baltimore for Indianapolis for a few dollars.
So when you and your other Colt fan buddies laugh at the Chiefs....I actually look at the Colts and how they hired Bill Polian as their GM, and how he managed to get that team turned around. Pioli certainly doesn't have the track record Polian does having built the Bills teams that went to 4 straight Superbowls, and the expansion Panthers who got to the NFC Championship in their second year. But he did learn under Belichick and Parcells who have both been pretty successful. I'll be quite pleased if Pioli can emulate the success Polian has had.
Than again 3 of the Chiefs last 4 playoff losses have been at the hands of the Colts, so that may explain why I sort of hate them. Even though I can admit they have a top flight operation that's going to continue to be successful so long as #18 is getting the ball on offence. Although if thats how this years season ends for KC, I'll be quite happy.

My comment was a joke Syl. I don't overlook anybody. I love what the Chiefs are doing and hope they go 15-1 (ok maybe 12-4 or 13-3 as I don't see Indy winning more then 13 games this year). on the season. I love it when teams turn it around and get back to a respectable level. As a Colts fan, I know what it is like. Forget the 1-15, 3-13 in Manning's 1st season was brutal enough. All I said was that I think KC would lose to the Colts. I didn't mean to make it a big thing(burn_baby_burn made it a big thing with his comment about I didn't make a bold prediction by predicting that). I wasn't disrespecting KC in any way shape or form. I cheered for their effort against San Fran last week. They just shut up and play.
Heck, go check some of the comments I made about the Chiefs and congratulating them on their wins in the first few weeks. I respect them.
PS............Indy won't blow out KC (to your stripping down naked comment). I think it will be a single digit score difference.
