I have been a little bit off on my bets as it regards the Saints and Colts. At last, I'll confess, both of them looks great. That come back by the Colts was impressive. However, since the Lawd is a Pittsburg Steelers' fan, he can if he so pleases to, still allow the Steelers to win the whole thang again. Steeler fans, let's pray! I missed the Cincinatti/Pittsburg game because I was in Kansas City, the city the Cowboys almost lost to 3 weeks or so ago. I had planned to send Itodd a jersey from there, but the Cowboys' come back precluded that generosity. When I finally saw Pittsburg had lost to Cincinatti again I cried and finally realized we're not better than everyone else any more. Cincinatti didn't only win the game but beat us up too. I hope they have a plane crash next week! And I hope it's the Colts and/or Saints they crash into. I ain't mad, sad or disappointed thouh. Needless to say, as I walked thru the Jackson-Evers Airport and saw Green Bay leading the Cowboys 17-0, my spirit was raised and I felt like the bold and bragging person I always was. That is until the Colts came back and made me sick again.

That was a great game on Sunday night, though many folks like me turned away when it started to get out of hand. I tuned in a little later for curiosity's sake and saw that the Colts came within six points and I stayed glued to it for the rest of the way.
