Good point; he had a break and it might be tough for him to get back, though. If he does play, 3.5 points is my guess.

Announcers are supposed to cheer for the team behind, part of their job is too make a game sound close so viewers stay put and the ratings stay up for the commercial revenue.

Well, I believe two of them picked Steelers to win anyway. They don't want to be wrong.

The Colts had a couple of possessions, but they did nothing with them. While the Pats offensive display in that second half was amazing the Colts could have held the ball more, if they'd have moved the chains.

In this game, I figure the announcers' schtick isn't going to make any difference. Folks are going to stay put to see the game.

Don't know, it was bouncing, haven't seen a good angle.

Refs are blind if they think he wasn't touched there. He was tumbling against the defender.

Tough call. Ball was moving. Hands were under it. Could go either way.

Catch. Arms are under. Had control when the ball hit the ground. Never lost possession.

Wasn't touched either.

I don't think the defender touched him after he had the ball, and his contact didn't cause the fall. Not sure about the catch.

I think so too, but that run afterward had better be rejected, cause it was BS.

Hand over the wallet... and the cell phone... and the keys to your car. What's that? An F-16? Okay, keep the keys.
