it's nice to be undefeated.
A couple of things from the game on Sunday:
Randy Moss' one handed catch was one of the nastiest catches I have ever witnessed.
Our defense played REALLY well (I'll go more into it below).
Joseph Addai ATE us UP. But, it might have been the idea all along. Let's take Manning's receivers away from him. Let's let their running game beat us. Which is different than we've played Manning before. It was always...stop the run and make Manning throw it all day long.
But it does come as a curse as well, there are 2 sides of my fandom. One side that wants to see my team win and is very happy when it happens. The second side that wants to not have to beat my wife's team to make me happy.
It is no secret that I am a Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics and Bruins (although I don't watch Hockey as much as I would like to) fan. My wife is a New York Yankees and Indianapolis Colts fan. This means that during MOST key match ups in the 2 seasons, that one of us is usually unhappy afterwards. It's harder for me with football than baseball. While I loath the Yankees, I have gotten use to seeing my team lose to them (I was worried to see them in the playoffs this year). I dislike the Colts a lot too, but the Patriots have been able to handle them a lot better than the Sox/Yankees. It's also tough for us because we enjoy football more than any other sport.
But since we live near Boston and Letha never really cared about basketball, she has decided to be a Celtics fan. So now we have one team we can both care about. As a side note, the Pacers are looking better than anyone thought they could (myself included). I didn't think they would be the worst in the East, but I didn't think they would be in the Top 10 either. I got to give it up to my boy Shane for calling it. I will admit that I have always been a Celtics fan , but always hoped the Pacers did well. I loved Reggie Miller, he's the only player on any other team (other than my own) that I liked.

Thank you for the credit on the Pacers. I just think this is the kind of offense we need to be running. If we can keep it up - who knows if we can, look at last season, post All-Star Break!!! - Then, we MIGHT get to see your Celtics in the Playoffs. Although, I am going to the game next week, so I'll get to see how we match up against you then. It MIGHT be another battle of the Undefeateds? Probably not though. No matter what, there's a LONG season to play.
