I didn’t know Abe Vagoda was even still alive!
Bush, after the end of the play, get your ARSE back to the huddle. Forget the showboating.
That bark collar one was hilarious, dog looked just like my friends Labrador.
i also liked the Betty White/Abe Vigoda one.

“innocuous”
Yep. benign.
The war was won in the pre-game PR
Thanks, kcvl! I think I'll lay down... for a little while!
I totally agree! They sucker punched the NAGS!
Maybe Gloria Allred will shut her face now!

That is why the Colts will win dropped passes by the Saints
Great dee by Colts...well-prepared
HA-HA! The rumors of his death were premature...
In 1982, People magazine erroneously declared him dead. Vigoda took the error with good humor, posing for a photograph showing him sitting up in a coffin, holding the magazine in question. This rumor was nearly started again in 1987 when a reporter for Secaucus, New Jersey television station WWOR, Channel 9 erroneously referred to him as “the late Abe Vigoda”.[citation needed] She corrected herself on the air the next day.
Erroneous reports of Vigoda’s death as well as questions of whether he is alive or dead have become a running joke:
* AbeVigoda.com lists Abe Vigoda’s current state as dead or alive.
* A Late Night with David Letterman skit showed Letterman trying to summon Vigoda’s ghost. Vigoda then walked in and declared, “I’m not dead, you idiot!”
* In a Comedy Central Roast of Drew Carey, with Abe Vigoda present in the audience, comedian Jeffrey Ross stated “and my one regret is that Abe Vigoda isn’t alive to see this.” He followed that with “Drew, you go to Vegas, what’s the over-under on Abe Vigoda?”
* In 2002, Greg Galcik recorded a song “Abe Vigoda’s Dead”, a parody of “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” by Bauhaus.
* In the show Yes, Dear Jimmy writes a song titled “Things I Think About at Work” with a line that says “I wonder if Abe Vigoda’s still alive”.
* A November 2006 Conan O’Brien sketch showed an audience member summoning the dead. The “deceased person” turned out to be Vigoda.
* In a 2009 episode of Canadian television show Corner Gas titled “Reader Pride”, Emma, Oscar and Karen argue about whether or not Vigoda is still alive.
* In 2005 Firefox added a Plug-in called the Abe Vigoda locater that updates his current whereabouts.
* A running gag on Fark.com is to refer to Abe Vigoda as either “dead” or “not dead” in relationship to a celebrity that has died or has been reported to have died.
* A Facebook application allows users to check on his status and display the status on their own pages.
gotta tell ya this true story......
last year the Cardinals were at the Super Bowl as you know and our local Am talk radio feller was concerned severly cause the “ t-shirts” were already printed ...Anotherwords there were t-shirts that said CARDINALS....SUPER BOWL CHAMPS and allowed that was a jinx....a huge jinx...
..calmin him down,his sidekick said it was always done as a practice to which the am host asked.....
well what happenes to the t-shirts of the losing team ?
The sidekick said they are sent to 3td world counties for humanitarian relief......then added
Folks in Mogidishu (sp) think the Buffalo Bills won the super bowl 4 TIMES

Brees is getting good protection so far but Indy is all over his recievers.
Punt time again.
Good coverage by N.O. special teams.

Clots definitely look like they are more ready to play than the Saints.
95 or so yard-long Colts TD drive anyone?
He might not be after filming that, lol.
How many Robin Hood movies do we really need in a lifetime?
At least this one has a guy that sound British.
Keep your hands off my mama and my Doritos...LOL!
CBS must have focused on the Saints in pre-game because they knew post game would be all about the COLTS!!
