Sure bet Vanderjagt will be hitting the bottle pretty hard tonight.

Had the Bettis fumble been returned for a score, it would have joined the "Immaculate Receptipon" as the two most amazing plays in NFL history.

Indy fans can blame the loss on Nick Harpers wife.If she didn't stab him in the knee maybe he could have run that fumble back at the end of the game. Rothlesberger read the scouting report. A slight touch to the knee and he'll drop. Harpers obviously got no hand in that relationship

My question is, how does Dungy bounce back from his quarterback overriding him? Absolutely nutty. In that one moment of arrogance, Peyton put himself in the same spotlight as T.O. (Hehehehe....there's nothing funnier than typing "T.O." at the end of a sentance. It's almost a substitute for "Angel of Death" or "Hepatitis C".)

Does this mean it was never Belichick or the Pats? Just Peyton being the king of chokers all along? And I love him calling out protection problems. HEy, who's the guy changing every play and changing red zone plays to runs. Loser.

Did Manning blame Dungy's son for having to go kill himself in the middle of this season and wreck Manning's rythym? I wouldn't put it past him.

yeah, oh but too bad your fucking smurf sheets are floating somewhere in Lake Ponchartrain. ouch. that was wrong. I apologize. what a douchebag though. when he started to say he was trying to be a good teammate, I thought he was taking the high road on not calling out Vanderjagt the way that idiot had called him out, and then he goes after the O Line. unbelievably classless.

Wow - did anyone hear Peyton Manning's postgame comments? [I'm paraphrasing here - don't have the direct quote] "I want to be a good teammate, but we had some protection problems..." Wow. Way to lose like a champ, you 3-6 playoff choker. True colors - what a scumbag.

Jerome Bettis, meet Ernest Byner. Only the choke of choke of chokes could stop it. How about Peyton not leading a winning TD drive that put the idiot kicker in position to lose? Choker.

Anyone who watches and knows football would say the Steelers had the upperhand, and Vanderjagt is was not the problem. Manning and James did nothing and the Colts were only within striking range due to some questionable calls. Steelers won this, fair and square. Steelers.

Oh...and the debate over who is better - Brady or Manning - is officially over. Manning always had an excuse: -his team never had a defense -they never had home field -bad calls against them -no luck This time, he got everything...and choked anyway. Brady is the king (despite what happened against Denver), and always has been.

hey, say all you want about the "idiot kicker" but the Colts lost this as a team. Vanderjagt should have never been put in that position in the first place. Yes, the most accurate kicker in the league should have been more "accurate" but then again....shit happens.

Thank you Peyton Manning and Tony Dungy for erasing all doubt and proving once and for all that you are the biggest choke tandem in NFL history. I actually went into this weekend wanting the Colts to win because they had the best chance to dethrone the Patriots. As soon as Denver won last night, I realized that the most annoying team left suddenly became Indy. Thank you Dungy and Manning for making next Sunday the greatest conference championship weekend in years.

That overrule of the interception is proof that David Stern is commissioner of the NFL, as well as the NBA.

I guess that the non-interception was some sort of obscure rule they have in the NFL, comparably bizarre to the college rule that says something like "On fourth down, if the ball carrier fumbles, and the ball moves forward, the original ball carrier must recover the ball or the ball will be moved back to the spot of the fumble." I was rooting for the Colts, too, but they in no way deserved to win that game at all, so I guess that Earl's karma struck again. Barely. Idiot kicker.

me, in my Greg Lloyd jersey, watching the 4th quarter: Major celebration Despair Major celebration Despair Major celebration Despair Major celebration Holy shit. I'm going to go fill my toilet bowl with some Steelers gold. And I'm not flushing it until after the Super Bowl.

So, I wonder if the "idiot kicker" is going to go around shooting his mouth off this off-season? And I've got to say, I was pulling for the Colts, but how that wasn't an interception I just can't understand.

It's like for a minute I almost believed in God, and then I was really disappointed because it meant that God was a Colts fan, and then Vanderjagt missed the kick and reaffirmed my faith in nothing. Amazing!

The proper English term for this is, "holy crap." And that wasn't an interception? What college conference did they borrow that ref from?
