The Colts were once 14-0 chasing history of a perfect season and atempting to keep the champagne of the 72′ Dolphins still corked.  That was until with a lead in the 3rd quarter against the desperate Jets, the Colts pulled Peyton Manning for Curtis Painter.  The Jets came back to win that game, and in doing so kept their playoff hopes alive.  At the time none of this mattered, because the Colts and Chargers were as destined to meet in the AFC Championship as The Situation was to hooking up with a girl at the end of the night.

The Colts have struggled mightliy with the Chargers recently, and many seemed to think this year would be no different.  That was until the Jets shocked the world, upset the Chargers and now have a date with Peyton and his Colts.  If Jim Caldwell had Dumbledore like qualities and foreseen this turn of events then maybe he will be the one laughing in the end.  The Chargers were the dragon the Colts might not have been able to beat, so by “letting” the Jets sneak into the playoffs, they did the dirty work for them.  Now on the precipice of a Super Bowl birth, the Colts seem to have this all but locked up.

Editor’s Note: This draft by our illustrious journalist Greenberg has been sitting in the “I Give Up” pile with much of my nonsense for a couple of weeks.  I’d see the title staring at me every so often.  I’d even glanced over it to see where it was headed a few times.  But, I just REALLY read it.  And while I appreciate where this post was headed, I think the true poetry in it can be found in the fact that in two paragraphs, just 211 words, my man Greenberg all but called Jim Caldwell brilliant and referenced both Jersey Shore AND Harry Potter!  That is an UNPRECEDENTED level of…ballsiness?  I’m not really sure what to call it, but I like to think that “the Colts seem to have this all but locked up” was about to be followed by “like Adam Lambert’s stage dancers on the American Music Awards” and his brain self destructed. - Polish Powerhouse
