So this is UD? But seriously, folks, everyone knows the media has a love affair with the Colts. So Indy was more successful from September until New Year's. I liked the point that both the Cowboys and Steelers won more games in the 70s than the Steelers. Although I think this is just more of an affection towards Peyton rather than "hatred" against the Patriots. Though I'm sure that some of these guys in the media are truly biased by the negative press. If you look at "success", you could also add the Chargers, who have done very well personnel wise, and the Steelers (who also have 2 rings) who fit the mold even more. Both those teams had "down" seasons, though, so I imagine that's why they aren't "in the running". I'd also bet that both Manning and Saturday (along with a lot of other Colts players) wish that the media gave that distinction to NE...and that they had the three rings! And underdogg, how can you constantly criticize Patriots fans for bringing up the "bad" calls when you always revert to your "mugging the WRs" complaint? It is what it is, officiating is never going to be consistent. It's how you play within the limits of the game at hand that matters. The 06 AFCCG was one of Manning's best, but the 03 and 04 playoff games in Foxboro were also some of his worst. What's done is done, and when you throw out all the BS and excuses (on both sides), the fact remains NE is 3-1 in the SB while the Colts are 1-1. To narrow it down to the QB (as is often your wont), in the two losses Brady brought his team from behind in the 4th quarter only to have his defense fail at the end. Manning threw a pick and pretty much handed the Saints their first championship. Popularity contests cannot hide the facts. The object of the game is to hoist the Lombardi. And Kraft has been able to do that three times to Irsay's once!

No No KP - only pats fans think the refs helped the pats, because upon further review everyone knows that Gaffney TD was a makeup gift for the faceguarding.  Further everyone knows the pats had an 18 point lead and blew it.  What everyone also knows is that the pats rode a tainted 03 win vs the colts to the superbowl due to refs swallowing flags.  So, no one cares whether or not pats fans think they were jobbed.

In Response to Re: Media lovin the Colts again : Who's sulking?  No your QB didn't throw a pick-six, he was worse.  He opened his mouth and then had to eat his words.  Remember this?  "14 points?  Is Plax going to play defense, too?"  Heck even with Manning's int,he still had a better QB rating that Brady vs. the Giants in the superbowl with Welker, Moss, Stallworth.  How's that happen?

In Response to Re: Media lovin the Colts again : go to some other board please. you'll never win this argument. first of all in 2009 your coach threw in the towel against the Jests, and proceeded to get their a$$es waxed the next week by the Bills. They didn't even try to match the undefeated regular season the Patriots accomplished. You boys are still not there yet.

Raptor - are you saying he was serious or not?  The loss is all on Brady according to Russgriswold, and he is NEVER wrong.

In Response to Re: Media lovin the Colts again : What?  Here you go again putting words in my mouth. Brady put NE ahead with 1:30 to go in the game in SB 42, while Gomer lost the game with a careless, rushed throw.  He was sloppy and it cost him. That's what arrogance will do. What the Giants Front 7 did was incredible. At some point you have to tip your cap and give the opponent credit for a job very well done. But, the difference between Brady and Manning again is clear. Brady led his team down to take the lead, while Gomer Manning threw an INT that led to an immediate 7 points because of HIM. See the difference?
