Another good sign for us. An Indy fan somewhere else said that the Colts kicker (or punter) has a tendency to outkick his coverage. So, unless they angle every ball out of bounds, Hester will have a chance. If you're outkicking the coverage, you're giving Hester a chance to set up. And if he has a chance to set up, its off to the races.

But I'm looking forward to Ricky Manning, Jr intercepting Peyton, and taking it back for 6. Manning wins Super Bowl MVP. Just not the Manning everyone seems to expect to win the MVP.

Tell Hester to catch the ball and then run, I am sure he will have some great plays and make an impact.

THis was a great video. He was able to make some flashy moves too.

I think Robbie and "Bill" should get together and spin a new reality for the Colts the same as Bill does for Bag-O-Chips. It'd make for a great trip down fantasy lane. GO BEARS!

Bears are going to win hands down. Here's why.

1. Grossman will manage the game. He doesn't have to be spectacular - just let Jones and Benson cut Indy's terrible run defense to shreds and convert a handful of third downs.

2. Keep the ball out of Peyton Manning's hands. They will do that by running the ball and converting third downs.

3. When Manning has the ball, they're going to hit him and the rest of the Colts very hard = Turnovers.

4. Special teams. The Colts' special teams will not be able to handle Hester and the Bears.

The Colts run a very similar offense to the Saints and their defense isn't very good.

It'll be a close game through 3 quarters, but the Bears will win comfortably.

LOL. By whom? They've been underrated all year. OK, she's ready now. Adios.

The Bears, on the other handÃ¢â‚¬Â¦.

Are overrated.

LOL. Obama's just a local interest story. The Bears, on the other hand....

Bored Rich? Are you more excited about Da Bears or D'Obama?

Papa Legba -- You need Hester to break other records before you'll give him some respect? Get real. Or, as Rich said, "Bite me".

And he (BF) should either spell it Farve or pronounce it Fav-ray (or -ree).

Bears by at least 10. Book it. Manning's going to crumble. Say any different and you can bite me.

Anyone know the name/artist for the background music in Yurk's YouTube?

iTunes awaits.

Yes, Robbie, but as someone else has already pointed out, our other return specialist is almost as good.

Re: The renegade master

Robbie — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 19:01:42 -0000

Another aspect that was slightly mentioned earlier is just how easy it is to avoid a returner. The Colts can kick every punt out of bounds if they like. They can minimize the kick returns by kicking away from him. They can ensure he doesn't get a freak field goal return by not kicking stupidly long field goals.

You do have a great point about the Colts return defense. I beleive they are ranked 30th in KR allowed and 31 in PR allowed.

Rich Miller — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 18:55:40 -0000

We should expect more than a ho-hum game because the Colts special teams D sucks and Hester holds a "mystifying" NFL record.

Re: The renegade master

Robbie — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 18:50:36 -0000

So 4 returns isn't even noteworthy, but 6.... Well 6 is mystifying. Isn't that indicative of just how few and far between these TD's are? To expect anything other than a ho-hum game from Hester is just wishful thinking.

Re: The renegade master

Rich Miller — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 18:46:32 -0000

Robbie, six returns is an NFL record. That's more than good. Sheesh.

Re: The renegade master

Robbie — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 18:42:23 -0000

6 returns is good. But like I said earlier Eddie Drummond had 4 a few seasons ago and I don't think anyone called his season or career 'great.'

NN - your exactly who I was talking about when I think of idiot Bears fans. Go for all the dirt on players of other teams and can't take any heat about yours.

Unfortunately, I agree with PL to a degree. I think Hester is merely ordinary when compared to NFL players. He brought up a great point. Many of those returns were against 3rd rate college talent. Discussing the dominance that big name colleges have in football and basketball is a whole different huge issue, but suffice to say, its a bit easier to juke a return team player on the Duke Blue Devils than the Colts, or any other NFL team.

NN - you are also allficted with a terrible disease most Bears fans have. 1985-itis. Bears fans need to let it go.

Plus, the Colts special teams defense sucks. Plain and simple. He's a threat in the Super Bowl. Not the only threat, but the one we're talking about today.

Re: The renegade master

Rich Miller — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 18:39:49 -0000

PL, he scored two TDs against the Rams in, I think, week 14. That's not even near the first half of the season.

Re: The renegade master

Papa Legba — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 18:34:45 -0000

In the first half of the season. After that I saw some fumbles and bad decisions. No returns though.

Re: The renegade master

Rich Miller — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 18:33:36 -0000

6 TD returns is not just "good." And that's a lot better than "squat," PL.

Re: The renegade master

Papa Legba — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 18:33:35 -0000

Let's see, who's dat quarterback from Indy. Is it some guy named Payton, Peyton, Patton or Brent? Who cares, he isn't as good as Rex.

Bite me - back at ya.

Re: The renegade master

Michelle Flaherty — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 18:28:36 -0000

OK, the guy's a good return man, but highlights from games against Temple and Duke? Puh-Leez. You're better than that people. I could post pics of me nerf hoop dunkin' on my five-year-old and nobody's gonna call me Candace Parker.

And Papa -

Not to go all superfan on you, but if a decade long spanking of another team is the rule, you may want to practice spelling the following word ...D-I-T-K-A.
