Allegra, darling, I could not be prouder of your Texicans... and I see a new chapter in you ongoing adventures!
Next year we get you up... and running!
Now, big & PK, I was 11 years old living in Houston in 1958 when I became a Baltimore Colts fan. My dear old Pappy told had told me that they were once the old Dallas Texans, so that just added to the flame that burned in my heart for Johnny U, Raymond Berry, Alan Ameche, Lenny Moore , Art Donovan, John Mackey, Gino Marchetti and the rest of Weeb Ewbank’s boys.
When they beat the Giants in “Sudden Death” for the NFL Championship, no one was happier than me!
They were my team until the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Oilers came along. The Oilers won the first two AFL titles while Dallas was an also ran until the finally got up on their hind legs and gave the Packers a run for the money. Twice!
I pulled for the Colts in SB 3 when the Jets make patsies out of them.
When the Colts played my Cowboys in Super Bowl V, I was not a happy camper when they beat my ‘Boys right at the end.
Like Bob Lilly did with his helmet... I tossed my can of beer! Right into the wall. The apartment owner charging me $50 for the cost of repairing the hole in the sheet rock did not help my feeling for the Colts.
Then when the Colts stole out of town under the cover of darkness, the blanket was cut for good.
I hope it is the Colts my Boys meet in SB 44... so we can put to rest the ghost of that loss in SB 5.
Now, without further ado:
As to my picks for next week, One Arm, here they are:
I see the Jets stumbling as the Bengals get revenge with a win.
And big's Packer Wackers don't get an easy victory the second time over them Red Arsed Birds, but they do win.
And the smile on big's ugly puss will continue as the Pattycakes defeather Da Black Byrds from Mudderland.
Lastly, my Boys and their Doomsday Cubed Defense... finally break a couple of hexes by knocking off the Iggle for the third and final most charming time and at long last win a playoff game!
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, all the pieces... are falling just right!
The Boys done good!
Lemme get this straight, Bendy...
You’re rooting against my Jets?
