The War of 18 & 12

The Peyton Manning lead Colts represent everything that is good in this world. Their uniforms are blue and white...the same color of the blessed Cougars of BYU. Their owner is a devout god loving Christian. Their new coach Jim Caldwell is a quiet unassuming guy much like his predecessor. The Colts pride themselves on playing the game the right way...within the rulebook. They win by executing better than their foes...by being smarter.

The Patriots are the polar opposite. Their wins come from being sly, cunning and devious. All aspects that are direct reflections of their wicked coach Bill Belichick. They gain victory from exploiting other teams, by looking at the rule book and then conveniently forgetting certain pages. When it comes down to it the Patriots cheat....plain and simple. Yeah they don't film practices anymore, but a zebra can't change his stripes. The Hoodie is smart and I'm sure he's found other advantages outside the realm of honesty and honor.

Tom Brady is no different. This guy believes he is above the rules of the game and with Belichick as his coach why shouldn't he believe that? Brady thinks it a serious penalty if his jersey gets dirty and I've heard rumor that he's petitioned for getting his own yellow flag so that if anyone brushes his knees he can call the penalty himself instead of waiting for the ref to do it for him. Tom has won championships on the leg of his kicker and the whistle of refs who he has manipulated into thinking he's anything more than a frat boy with a hot girlfriend.

Once again Brady will square up against Manning and the War of 18 & 12 will add another chapter to it's story. A story not only of football, but of good vs evil and I'm telling you that good will prevail.
