Manning’s worst nightmare! Wants to keep Pats fans at distance

Peyton Manning’s worst fears are coming true.
The Colts quarterback is pleading with Indianapolis fans not to sell tickets to the enemy in advance of Sunday’s AFC Championship matchup with the Patriots [team stats].
“We need that stadium totally packed in blue, no Patriots,” Manning said to an Indianapolis TV reporter.
But the Colts quarterback’s cry for help is falling on deaf ears in Indy. Massachusetts sports tour operators are reporting an ample supply of tickets to Sunday’s big game in the Colts’ RCA Dome.
While the game is officially sold out, local brokers report no shortage of tickets to the big game being sold on the secondary market by fair-weather Indy fans.

A little work needed on the offensive side

By Dan Shaughnessy, Globe Columnist | January 16, 2007

LOS ANGELES -- It's pretty obvious the Patriots will beat the Colts Sunday and advance to the Super Bowl. Only a moron would pick against New England in a big game (anybody got a mirror?). The Patriots always win the big game.

Beating Peyton Manning and the Colts should be the easy part. It's the postgame celebration I'm worried about. The Patriots are 2-0 in the playoffs, but according to a lot of NFL people, New England is 0-2 in postgame etiquette. Can the Patriots manage to beat the Colts and get out of Indianapolis without igniting a controversy that will rage into Super Bowl week?

Listen to the locker room for arrogance, you will never hear it. Media can right what they want, but the people who play the game know better, and Shank should know better as well. (Shank is the nickname of Dan Shaughnessy the column writer)

"Pat" the Patriot was amazing....why did they get rid of that logo. Such a simple old school gig they had going.

The Flying Elvis' seem so bland.
