Forgive me if I have this wrong but I think the fans deserved the opportunity to go to a game and see the best the team has to offer, especially when they may only get 8 chances a year. This isn't baseball where they play 300 games a year, this is a select number of games in which the fans pay through the nose to go. It seems like fraud to me and yes, I know I am taking this a bit far.
There are no guarantees that the Colts are going to make it to their goal nor is there one shred of evidence that suggests this resting period improves a teams chance of succeeding. If they do not reach their goal, they should reimburse the fans for these last two weeks worth of crap they fielded.
They gave up a chance to make history for a shot at a goal that requires them to win 3 more games after resting for 3 weeks. Yeah, that is likely. (not)
Sitting players is like playing scared to me. Like playing not to lose instead of trying to win. It rubs me the wrong way and is an injustice to the game, especially when it affects others. Their decision affected the competitive balance and that is bad Karma.
Go Bengals. Now that Vick has won an award, maybe Ced can be the SB MVP? How special would that be?
yeah I know, what if Manning got hurt? How many years has he played? How many games has he missed? I cannot remember. Amen Rob...you actually get it! Season ticket holders already get raped for 2 pre-season games...now make it 3 for the 2009 season.
It's funny to me the double speak that comes from pro sports. When players are held accountable beyond what they want then they say it's just a game. When questions are raised about player/coaches salaries...ticket prices etc...we're told it's an entertainment business.
I can tell ya about 70,000 people that weren't entertained tonight. It'slike going to see a movie and they shut it down with 30 min left. You're allowed to stay but the movies not coming back on.
It cost me a big 5 pts.
