Super Bowl 44: Colts 17 Saints 31
|
|
Haiku Count: 1533 |
Early lead squandered
Momentum shift in second
Six snaps on offense. |
|
Key plays define game.
Garcon’s drop, onside fumble,
and Manning’s pick six. |
Costly injury
not Freeney’s bad ankle but
Jerraud Power’s foot. |
|
Big coaching blunder
Stover’s kick from 50 yards
None made in 4 years. |
Massive fourth down stop
means nothing when offense can’t
convert third and one. |
|
Bright lights on big stage
Normally resil’ent Colts
crack under pressure. |
Despite ev’rything
Colts had ball and chance to win
with three minutes left |
|
Deep disappointment
will not make true fans forget
fantastic season |
All credit to Saints
Fortune favors the bold, and
this night, they were bold! |
|
No joy in Naptown
No parade or vict’ry tour
Just thoughts of August. |

Super Bowl XLIV Preview

Haiku Count: 1523
|
Little known factoid
Ponies are migratory
Wint’ring in South Beach |
|
Scant three years ago
Dogged by “Can they win big game?”
Now seen as fav’rites. |
Gone are paper bags
Fleur de lis now sign of Saints’
sure Esprit de Corp |
|
No mean nuns needed
Catholic school’s in session
Colts must know their Saints |
Gimpy pass rusher
A cause for consternation?
Colts say, “Next man up.” |
|
Saints’ Williams stirs pot
Bounty placed on Peyton’s head
Team won’t take the bait. |
Bring your umbrella
Brees, Manning forecast touchdowns
pouring down like rain. |
|
His loyalty split
Big Easy’s favorite son
will cheer for his own. |

| Week 1: Colts 14 Jaguars 12 |
|
Haiku Count: 1367 |
First half, knee buckles
Gonzo, but not forgotten
Marvin on speed dial? |
|
Early pick, fumble
O does just enough to win
Still kinks to work out |
New coach makes bold choice:
Fourth & short, Caldwell says go.
Defense bails him out. |
|
Pocket Hercules
Labors against broad-shouldered
Equestrian line. |
| Week 2: Colts vs Dolphins |
|
|
Discipline, defense.
Tricksy aquatic mammals
Keep Wildcat as pet. |
|
Key to ‘Fins success:
Lack of costly turnovers
Colts must force mistakes. |
Running in tandem
Look for steady doses of
Joe Addai, Don Brown. |
|
Site of past glory,
Colts hope to make two trips to
South Beach this year. |
| Submissions from Rex Stocklin |
|
|
First win for new coach
Almost dashed by Scobee boot
Their chinny chin chin |
|
Manning’s mid-season
Form fills this year with new hope
Of Super Bowl glow |
Marvin we hardly
knew ye, bet retirement sucks
As memories Wayne |
|
Defending the Colts
Former offense juggernaut
Not one-trick ponies |
Jags fake injuries
To quash Horseshoe momentum
Tres unsportsmanlike |
|
