This is already too much fun

If there’s one thing I’ve particularly liked about the direction Gannett has taken (besides the fact that unlike some conglomerates, they seem to get this whole ‘Internet thing’) is how entertaining the comment section under the Indianapolis Star’s articles and columns can become.

It’s Monday (MLK day, in fact) and already we have Colts and Pats fans going at each other like mentally challenged dogs starved of Pedigree and water.

Say what you want about how played out this Colts-Pats storyline is, but I’m going to try and make the best of it this week. (Hint: Just don’t watch ESPN. Stay in front of your computer reading blogs like this or this if you want some Manning-Brady Bowl coverage. It will be much more worthwhile and entertaining, while far less mind numbing than getting Manning’s or Brady’s shit-eating grins shoved down your face on SportsCenter every night. Not that I don’t think they’re both cute, because they are. Let’s get that straight.)

Just come to the Internet, where commenters such as Get er done talk some serious smack.

Bwa ha ha ha

The only sickness we’ll be getting from you is the cold virus you’ll be bringing with you from MASS…but there is a product available to wipe out any New England viruses… it’s called Lysol, and the Colts Offense and Defense will be the one’s doing the applying!
Go Colts! Git er done!

PatPa triot just got PWNED.

Johnny D enlightens us as well.

OK COLTS!
It’s time for a real-for-sure
PEY-Back!
This is your chance to grab that elusive “brass-ring”, grab it
with gusto!!
Your fans, our city, and many COLT
enthusiasts across the country are solidly behind you!
Good Luck and God speed. See you in Miami!

That’s just simply poetry in motion.

Anyways, as I said last Monday, don’t sleep on the Colts. And as much as don’t want to say this, I’ll be ro ro rooting (phew, that was hard) for them because if the Bears win next weekend as well, it will be a Bears-Colts Super Bowl. And the town we currently reside in will be near explosion.

And that, my friends, would simply be awesome.
