- @dmataconis I sure hope so! in reply to dmataconis #
- @18to88 Jay Cutler: allow the Colts to reintroduce you to Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis, the NFL's best passer-rating destroying duo. in reply to 18to88 #
- @18to88 wow, no tweeting for me before coffee. I meant Orton, not Cutler. But, Cutler met Freeney/Mathis in 2008: http://es.pn/c28IG3 in reply to 18to88 #
- @18to88 make that 2007. Sheesh. in reply to 18to88 #
- @SI_PeterKing how are Freeney and Mathis not listed in your Defensive Players of the Week in MMQB? They put on a clinic last night. in reply to SI_PeterKing #
- @dmataconis the PPP internals show those polled going for Obama vs McCain 57% to 36%. Their likely-voter model is WAY off. Results: suspect in reply to dmataconis #
- @dmataconis Obama took CA 61%-37%. The PPP poll is taking almost NO voter shift or enthusiasm gap into account. in reply to dmataconis #
- @18to88 interesting (to me) stat: last year, Colts were ~25% touchbacks (21/85). This year, 42% (5/12). Last night: 71% (5/7)… (cont) in reply to 18to88 #
- @18to88 (cont) 1 of 2 non-touchbacks was squib kick; other was stupidly run out back of EZ resulting in tackle @ 12yd line & sack-fumble-TD in reply to 18to88 #
- @dmataconis dumb dumb dumb. Sore loser when Murkowski does it, and sore loser when a TEA partier does it, too. in reply to dmataconis #
- @dmataconis @onefinejay uh, didn't it top NYT best-seller list for a few weeks? in reply to dmataconis #
- @espn_afcsouth what a difference a week, a healthy offensive line, a 2-TE set, and a stupid defensive scheme make! in reply to espn_afcsouth #
- @dmataconis @onefinejay good point, that. in reply to dmataconis #

- @Skitzzo ball control and discipline: if the 49ers had it, they'd be blowing this game out. They don't, so the Saints are winning. in reply to Skitzzo #

- @SI_PeterKing Tampa Bay holding a two-game division lead? in reply to SI_PeterKing #
- @SI_PeterKing er, nevermind; that still can't happen. But I'm guessing it involves Tampa Bay and the NFC South division lead? in reply to SI_PeterKing #
- @andrea_r WorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdPress! in reply to andrea_r #

- @carlhancock any updates? Hope all is well! in reply to carlhancock #
- @18to88 yeah, too bad the Redskins are doing their best to let the Texans win the game… in reply to 18to88 #
- Poor Tom Terrific! Two INTs & now a sack-fumble. On a related note: this old, slow Patriots defense is making Jets offense look good #
- @LovinBlue I know, but I love tweaking Patriots fans. 😉 in reply to LovinBlue #
- @pwilson24 interesting. Not Angerer, eh? in reply to pwilson24 #
- @pwilson24 I know, but he's a good LB, period. in reply to pwilson24 #
- @LovinBlue I know, you're surprised, right? in reply to LovinBlue #
- @18to88 Kubiak just made a Caldwell call: punted from the 34 at 4th and 4. Might cost the Texans the game. in reply to 18to88 #
- If the Texans lose the game, it will be due to Kubiak punting from the WAS 34yd line at 4th and 4, instead of going for it or trying FG #
- @LovinBlue works for me! in reply to LovinBlue #
- And now the ice-the-kicker crap. Just lets him line up the kick (and he nailed it). Kubiak really going for the football anti-karma. #
- @18to88 4th and 4? yeah. 4th and 7? not as much. I thought HOU should have just gone for it. in reply to 18to88 #
- @18to88 and Jamey Richard just threw the best block of his pro career on that TD run. in reply to 18to88 #
- What's this "touchback" thing? #
- Bethea introduces himself in a really, really nasty way to sniff out that end-around. #
- Why can't the Colts O-Line run-block for Addai? #
- What a heck of a kick! Pat the Punter is on his game tonight. #
- Aaaand our punt returner falls down when he has a hint of a seam. Oh well; decent field position anyway. #
- @18to88 we'll take one or the other: call it on both, or call it on neither. in reply to 18to88 #
- Freeney and Mathis are FAST tonight! #
- Amazing how much better Colts' entire offense works when O-line provides even just a little bit of run-blocking: set up that play-action TD #
- @Shake1n1bake is that Dallas' evil twin? in reply to Shake1n1bake #
- Colts are over 100 yards rushing, halfway through the second quarter. Addai and Brown are channeling their inner Edgerrin James! #
- Three touchbacks in ONE GAME?!?!?! Who are these Colts special teams? Go #Colts #
- Colts now have 10 pts on turnovers & lead 24-0 with less than 1 min left in the first half. I don't think Manning is struggling w/ NYG's DC #
- @keder Colts are tearing it up in all three phases. This is impressive. in reply to keder #
- @pwilson24 make that "Horseshoe Blue", since G-Men also wear Blue and White 😉 in reply to pwilson24 #
- @Shake1n1bake caught that one on the replay, too. Strange there was no flag… ( /sarcasm ) in reply to Shake1n1bake #
- @LovinBlue so was Lacey, unfortunately. in reply to LovinBlue #
- @18to88 yeah, that was the dumbest thing Chrissy said yet tonight. Powers *might* be the best cover corner, but it's probably still Hayden in reply to 18to88 #
- @18to88 when he's healthy, I won't argue that one. in reply to 18to88 #
- @LovinBlue same here. Crap call, that cost the Colts a drive. in reply to LovinBlue #
- Block Freeney one-on-one, at your own 10yd line? Suffer the consequences. Sack-fumble-TD Colts! Go #Colts #
- @18to88 I noticed that pass block, too (was it his first ever?), & of course Chrissy Collinsworth thinks it was a "good non call" on the PI in reply to 18to88 #
- @NMRgirl well heya! Go #Colts #
- Just noticed that, from the back, @Pat1McAfee has Tom Terrific's flowing locks. Don't worry; you wear it much better than Brady! Go #Colts #

- @JIDF actually, it would be very easy: import your blogger site into WordPress.com (its import is better), then export/import to self-hosted in reply to JIDF #
- @JIDF p.s. looking at current JIDF site: porting that Theme to WordPress would take no more than a day. Let me know if you want help. in reply to JIDF #
- @JIDF the only real problem is the ".html" at the end of your permalinks. Easily fixed with a single .htaccess 301 redirect regex in reply to JIDF #
- @JIDF indeed, I have. WordPress (.com or self-hosted) is actually *far* more secure. I've been running self-hosted for over five years now. in reply to JIDF #
- @JIDF if it can wait till this weekend, I can whip up something quickly for you. Just email me your header images/etc & I'll take a stab in reply to JIDF #
- @JIDF no worries. I'm happy to help – just let me know! in reply to JIDF #

- @owillis @OneFineJay there is no "Tea Party", in the sense of an actual political party. It is a movement to reclaim GOP from the inside. in reply to owillis #
- @OneFineJay ah. Yeah. That will help her beat Coons. in reply to OneFineJay #
- @OneFineJay and (last night, at least) that phrase also accurately describes many of her supporters (the ones calling people like me RINOs) in reply to OneFineJay #
- @keder yeah, I'm coming to despise that term, too. It sure does get thrown around a lot at the moment. in reply to keder #
- @owillis @OneFineJay depends on what happens as the movement matures. I'm encouraged that ordinary people are making their voices heard. in reply to owillis #
- @owillis this election cycle, many aren't even self-identifying as "Democrat" in their campaign materials. in reply to owillis #
- @zamoose @onefinejay Rove's name won't be on the ballot w/her in November. She's much better-served ignoring him, and attacking Coons in reply to zamoose #
- @owillis no disagreement. Sad but true. in reply to owillis #
- @dmataconis to be fair, it's a pre-primary poll by PPP. Unfortunately, I fully expect @RasmussenReports to corroborate shortly. in reply to dmataconis #
- @dmataconis there's nothing to bounce. She's going to have to convince Dems and Indies to vote for her in order to win. Will be a tall order in reply to dmataconis #
- NY-23: how *not* to advance conservative agenda. If you lose the GOP primary & run as 3rd party, you give Dems the win http://bit.ly/95Lt6V #
- @bradhuss I've been wondering when that would happen. I'm not sure there's any actual market dilution here. Prayer != Pancakes, after all. in reply to bradhuss #

- @gatewaypundit will you correct your claim that Castle voted to impeach Bush, when he actually voted to kill impeachment bill? #
- @zamoose I've never liked listening to him or Savage. I prefer reason & respect to rhetoric, even when demolishing ideological arguments in reply to zamoose #
- Still waiting for @marklevinshow & @gatewaypundit to retract smear, utterly disproved by @powerlineblog, that Castle voted to impeach Bush #
- @ewerickson perhaps, but *any* Republican (even Castle) is better than a self-avowed Marxist (like Coons). in reply to ewerickson #
- Dear @gatewaypundit @marklevinshow @limbaugh the purpose of the Motion to Recommit is for minority to KILL BILLS: http://bit.ly/czyLM2 #
- By the way, @limbaugh @marklevinshow @gateway every single Rep. voted to recommit Stupak Amdmt. Does that mean they all voted for ObamaCare? #
- Here's a novel concept: the Federal govt should have absolutely no involvement in the lives of individuals, but rather, only the States. #
- @pwilson24 never. Bobzilla was a critical component of the Colts' Super Bowl run and victory. We will never forget that, no matter what. in reply to pwilson24 #
- @ewerickson it looks like the impeachment smear worked. O'Donnell is the nominee. So, congratulations @ChristineOD; I'm all in. Now go win. in reply to ewerickson #
- @DLoesch indeed… go O'Donnell, and good luck! in reply to DLoesch #
- @ewerickson then @NRSC needs to continue to wither on the vine. DE Republicans chose O'Donnell, now the NRSC needs to support her, period. in reply to ewerickson #
- @ewerickson do you think @JimDeMint will have a legit shot at Majority Leader in 2013? I can hope, right? in reply to ewerickson #

- @ewerickson does Buckley Rule play no part in your analysis? O'Donnell unelectable statewide in DE. If she wins tom. I pray I'm proven wrong in reply to ewerickson #
- @pwilson24 that's what I call it, too… perhaps I got it from you? 🙂 p.s. any word on Bobzilla? in reply to pwilson24 #
- @pwilson24 Gonzo injured his ankle? …huh? (And of course, the rumor mill already churning about Sanders being done for season. Meh.) in reply to pwilson24 #
- @ColtScore if by "just as good or better" you mean "able to stay on the field for 16 games", I agree! Bullitt is a starter on any other team in reply to ColtScore #
- @JimDeMint & @SarahPalinUSA do you realize that you have both endorsed a candidate who equates conservatism with gender discrimination? #
- The TEA party movement is a great example of grassroots political activism, but needs to grow up in a hurry, and learn how to vet candidates #
- @JIDF what information or advice do you need? I'm fairly involved with WordPress Themes.. in reply to JIDF #
- @zamoose …and it will come back to haunt us, to be sure. in reply to zamoose #
- @zamoose I'm more thinking: O'Donnell became a TEA bandwagoner, and nobody bothered to check her credentials. That's foolish and dangerous in reply to zamoose #
- @zamoose in 2004, she sued ISI for sexual discrimination – which she blamed on (wait for it…) ISI's "conservative beliefs". in reply to zamoose #
- @LovinBlue someone going on IR isn't going to be on the practice field, period. Take it as a positive sign. in reply to LovinBlue #
- Yesterday's #Colts loss wasn't fun, but watching MNF I'm reminded how thankful I am not to be a Jets or Ravens fan. Ugly, sloppy game so far #
- @williamsba dude, I'll see your Raiders fandom, and raise you my wife being a Bengals fan. in reply to williamsba #
- Neither the Jets nor the Ravens are both playing terribly but the refs are absolutely giving the game to the Ravens. These PI calls are crap #
- I've lost much respect for @marklevinshow over his treatment of @powerlineblog, the judgement of the latter of whom I trust far more. #
- All 3 Chargers who touched that punt were in the end zone, and the idiot refs called the punt down at the 1-yd line? #NFL officiating sucks #

- Hey Caldwell: I've now seen Garcon and Wayne both drop passes that Gonzo would have caught. Go #Colts #
- @18to88 Garcon and Wayne have now both dropped passes that Gonzo would have caught. Blocking is terrible on left side of line. Slow start. in reply to 18to88 #
- What a &$%&^%#y593&#(y RIDICULOUS pass interference call. That was clean. NFL, your officiating SUCKS. Go #Colts #
- FREENEY IS THE FRIGGING MAN!! (Hey NFL: where was the hold call there? Why does Freeney have to fight a hold on every freaking play?) #Colts #
- There you go, Wayne! That's how you catch a pass! Go #Colts #
- I hope #Texans DB Barwin is okay. That looked nasty. #
- @18to88 you're not expecting good camera angles, are you? The TV crews are as bad as the officiating, so far. in reply to 18to88 #
- @18to88 totally could have downed that. Blown play, eh? in reply to 18to88 #
- Bob Sanders has an elbow injury. Return questionable. Please don't let this be a pre-cursor. #Colts #
- Garcon just ran himself OUT of a first-down catch. But Addai saved his rear end picking up the first on the next play. Go #Colts #
- Addai just turned a loss into a four yard gain, shedding two tacklers. Go #Colts #
- Garcon with yet *another* drop. Someone remind me why Gonzo is #4 on the depth chart? Go #Colts #
- Melvin Bullitt with a HUGE HUGE HUGE interception!!!! Go #Colts #
- Freeney and Mathis are looking great so far today. Getting good pressure on Shaub. Go #Colts #
- @18to88 not tackling so well, are we? How many yards-after-contact is Foster getting? in reply to 18to88 #
- And once again: Freeney and Mathis save a drive! Newcomer CB Tryon with a great PD, too. Go #Colts #
- @18to88 credit Mathis, too… but very nice PD on the end of that play by Tryon. in reply to 18to88 #
- The #Colts defense just completely gave up on that drive. Hang that one on Caldwell. Time for some #Colts at-Houston magic. #
- Don Brown has dropped 2 out of 2 passes on this drive, and can't pass-block. Does anyone still think he's Addai's heir-apparent? Go #Colts #
- Dallas D-Money Clark! Colts TD! Go #Colts #
- @18to88 we had linebackers today? All I saw were DEs, Safeties, and the occasional CB. in reply to 18to88 #
- @18to88 "gutless" certainly applies to the play of our defense in the second half. That was tough to watch, but will be corrected. in reply to 18to88 #
- @pwilson24 good recap. Look forward to the redux. Thx for the anonymous mention (re: WR drops). Did I complain too much re: trolls in chat? in reply to pwilson24 #
- @Skitzzo nah, he was fine running that back. He just needed to protect the rock. Linemen can't one-arm the football. in reply to Skitzzo #
- @wptavern will this work: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-from-server/ by @dd32 in reply to wptavern #
- @Skitzzo he should have held onto the ball in front of himself, with two hands. No way to tomahawk chop that. (Can't run as fast, though) in reply to Skitzzo #
- @wptavern easier than the alternative, though, eh? in reply to wptavern #
- @18to88 no, actually; I'm screwed. Yahoo AutoDraft made Kolb my FF team's starting QB. in reply to 18to88 #
- The #NFL officiating just plain sucks. Called a late hit PF for a hit on a player who WASN'T EVEN DOWN yet? Pathetic, NFL. #
- Dear #NFL that wrap-arm-around-body offensive holding call the Redskins just drew while sacking Romo? Happens to Freeney every.single.play. #
- @pwilson24 watching DAL-WAS. Don't you wish Freeney could draw two of those arm-around-the-neck offensive holding calls in one game? #
- @Skitzzo Dwight Freeney gets held like that every freaking play, with no call. The Redskins pick up TWO in one game… in reply to Skitzzo #
