CTE, Player Toughness, & the Fate Of The NFL

Posted by southwest1, 27 May 2012 - * * * * * · 1442 views

In light of the legendary LB Junior Seau's suicide, the debate over numerous concussions & the side effects as a result of it later in life seems to have regained some fresh momentum again. Repeated trauma on the brain has led to a neurological diagnosis of CTE among the medical community. What exactly is this...


The Fundamental Weakness Of Director George Lucas

Posted by southwest1, 26 May 2012 - * * * * * · 849 views

Since the NFL season is low key right now & entrenched in rookie player minicamps around the league, I figured why not write a non-related football blog just for pure entertainment value alone.

Recently, I just watched a film called "The People Vs. George Lucas" released in 2010 by Exhibit A Pictures.

The central thesis of the film is...


Mr. Circumstance The 3Rd Guy In The Room...

Posted by southwest1, 08 March 2012 - - - - - - · 754 views

Wednesday, March 7, 2012 11 A.M. Central Standard Time. A press conference that will live in infamy for all the wrong reasons. Seldom do you see a future Hall of Fame quarterback & franchise owner in the same room announcing a public separation & divorce from one another. Why did this prosperous NFL partnership really end? Health, cold hard cash,...






Controlled Choas Vs. Scientific Protection & Safety

Posted by southwest1, 15 February 2012 - - - - - - · 458 views

Here is my last & final blog that I will transfer from Colts Direct. Again, the primary objective here is to expand audience access & encourage rational, peaceful debate. All viewpoints are welcome:

We all know that football is a violent sport. We also know that when the playoffs roll around a solid defense is essential in order to "ring a...


Why Do Superbowl Mvp Honors Often Go To The Wrong Player?

Posted by southwest1, 15 February 2012 - - - - - - · 580 views

Initially, I posted this blog on Colts Direct. I transferred it here in order to encourage further debate by spreading access to this conversation to a much wider audience. A variety of diverse opinions is always welcomed here. Thank you.



Sunday, February 5, 2012, saw the New York Giants defeat the New England Patriots 21-17.

Confetti falls, the...


Is The Backup Field General Ever Worthy Or Ready For Game Day Shrapnel?

Posted by southwest1, 15 February 2012 - - - - - - · 390 views

As our beloved Colts franchise undergoes a massive overhaul this year, from GM, to head coach, to staff, & finally roster additions & subtractions, I wonder if our team & the corresponding front office in INDY have finally grasped the importance of maintaining a quality back up quarterback yet. Starting QB's these days are prone to a number...

Maureen & all of your cat owners out there...Don't mess with this kitty!!!

Future Female Lead Singer In Training Where Can I Get A Ticket?

Posted by southwest1, 14 February 2012 - - - - - - · 621 views




Juliet, a 8 year old girl, sings a short song about her dog Robert & her goldfish speed metal style.

So much for "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." This isn't simply your grandma's little angel into Barbie dolls & cupcakes.

The heavy metal connoisseur inside of me makes me wonder what this...


What Real Brotherly Love Actually Looks Like

Posted by southwest1, 14 February 2012 - - - - - - · 643 views



I never get tired of this video. It makes me smile everytime I see it.

Sibling rivalry what a wonderful thing!!! Competition to emerge victorious in any activity & the accompanying "bragging rights" never ever gets old either...No matter how old you really are. HA! HA!


Peyton Manning Will "rock You" Too Just Watch...

Posted by southwest1, 14 February 2012 - - - - - - · 456 views




In the immortal words of Queen's Freddie Mercury: Peyton & the Indianapolis Colts will literally "Rock You" with these outstanding play highlights...ENJOY Everyone!!!

Tragically, Peyton Manning might be a distant memory in a few weeks...

Gotta appreciate #18 while we still can. No...


Peyton Manning In Vintage Commercial Form

Posted by southwest1, 14 February 2012 - - - - - - · 662 views



I like the classic musical score on this video. It is very compelling. Also, the black & white backdrop is so vintage & timeless like old World War II news reels in the movie theatre.

I wish it just featured #18 exclusively though. Still sweet & slick in its presentation though.


Peyton Manning Proved All The Doubters & Nay Sayers Wrong

Posted by southwest1, 14 February 2012 - - - - - - · 458 views




I for one never doubted that Peyton would get to the BIG DANCE & win a "precious" Superbowl ring. More shiny hardware is in his future too in my estimation.

Never trivialize his competitive juices on the field or his compulsive drive to win EVER!!!


The #1 Mad Dog Lb Ray Lewis Says It All About #18

Posted by southwest1, 14 February 2012 - - - - - - · 732 views




Ray Lewis knows just how tremendous Peyton Manning's work ethic to be great is..."That doesn't just happen." God Bless "Sugar Ray" I LOVE YOU MAN!!!

Hey Jim Irsay, are you listening to this wisdom that the GREAT RAY LEWIS IS LAYING AT YOUR FEET? I...


The Icon, The Legend, The Genius Himself...peyton Manning

Posted by southwest1, 14 February 2012 - - - - - - · 594 views



There's only one Peyton Manning...AKA YODA OF NFL FIELD GENERALS PERIOD...END OF STORY.

NFL Hall of Fame players of his caliber do not simply grow on trees. I hope GM Bill Polian is #18's presenter into the hallowed halls in Canton, Ohio.


Buckle Your Chinstrap For Some Colts Mayhem...

Personally, I love this video because I was a heavy metal head banger in high school & this song & the accompanying highlights are intense, strong, & IN YOUR FACE...

In the immortal words of soon to be Hall of Fame LB Ray Lewis: "Are there any dogs in the...


Peyton's Unique Language At The Line Of Scrimmage

This is why I refer to Peyton as the YODA of NFL field generals ladies & gentlemen...

Plus, Peyton has a great sense of humor too. Man, Peyton you are so AWESOME!!! I am in sheer AWE of your line of scrimmage mastery skills everytime you line up & that is no...
