Haiku Count: 1455
Upset that wasn’t
Six loss team unfit equal
to unbeaten Colts. Swarming Colt defense
Kept Johnson & Young in check
with two fourth down stands. Late in half, punch thrown.
Undisciplined and stupid.
Titans gift: three points. Addai sustains drives.
No splash, but plenty of dash.
Keep moving the chains. Week 14: Colts vs Broncos
Tale of two equines
Both with plans for post-season
One’s skittish; one runs. Regular season
Twenty-one wins ties record
History next week? Former Patriot
has castoffs clicking out West.
Will they cheat and whine? Ex-Boiler Orton
will receive a warm welcome
Freeney’s outstretched arms. ]]> http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/12/issue-192-upset-that-wasnt/feed/ 1 http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/11/issue-188/ http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/11/issue-188/#comments Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:07:43 +0000 thehorseshoe http://thehorseshoe.org/?p=54 Week 9: Colts 20 Texans 17 Haiku Count: 1423 Missing 3 DBs

and they deliver! So much for pitch count.
Forty first half pass attempts!
Jello-armed Manning Red flag at goalline
Powers hops in bounds, grabs ball.
Touchback at twenty. Channeling Norwood
Clutch kick pushed wide left by Brown
Team of cows; one goat. Week 10: Colts vs Patriots Both teams once doormats
Now nation tunes in to see
Football’s best rivals. If anyone can,
Brady will expose defense
Inexperience. Gone are the days of
Pats intimidation. fear
Colts know they can win. Super Bowl redux?
Freeney, Mathis storm the gates
Footsteps of Giants. ]]> http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/11/issue-188/feed/ 0 http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/10/issue-184-sunday-he-breathes-fire/ http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/10/issue-184-sunday-he-breathes-fire/#comments Wed, 07 Oct 2009 07:09:08 +0000 thehorseshoe http://thehorseshoe.org/?p=40 Week 4: Colts 34 Seahawks 17
Haiku Count: 1391 Bane to quarterbacks,
Robert Mathis rips ball free
on half of his sacks. When thrown his first bone
Collie dives like frisbee dog
Over shoulder score! Out for season?
Freeney quaffs healing potion
Sunday, he breathes fire. Edge returns a foe
But met with hero’s welcome.
Standing ovation. Week 5: Colts vs Titans Four weeks without win
Beware the wounded rival.
Season slips away. True test of progress
After Dolphin debacle
Can Colts stop Slash, Dash? Volunteer spirit
Backups step up; Defense depth
Powers plays like vet. Tennessee two-step.
Manning steps up in pocket,
finds the open man. ]]> http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/10/issue-184-sunday-he-breathes-fire/feed/ 0 http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/09/issue-183-cue-the-tweetie-birds/ http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/09/issue-183-cue-the-tweetie-birds/#comments Wed, 30 Sep 2009 07:13:51 +0000 thehorseshoe http://thehorseshoe.org/?p=31 Week 3: Colts 31 Cardinals 10

The real Spin Doctor wears blue.
QBs in crossfire. Colt public option
Ball shared among receivers
Manning spreads the wealth Cue the Tweetie birds
Warner asked his name after game
He replies: Nancy. On one. “HUT!” Snap. Ball.
5 steps. Eyes downfield. Throw now.
One hand. Pylon. Score! Week 4: Colts vs Seahawks Wounded far-West foe
Ought not be taken lightly
Early season trap Mora & Caldwell,
Heirs to coaching royalty,
Holmgren & Dungy. Expectations high
Missing his mouthy counterpart
Colts double TJ Seattle’s game plan:
Switch uniforms at half time.
Blind them with lime green! ]]> http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/09/issue-183-cue-the-tweetie-birds/feed/ 0
