Why am I so excited about a regular season game?  Is it because both the Colts and Patriots are undefeated and clearly the class of the NFL right now?  Is it that I'm hoping for a game as thrilling as the '06 AFC Championship?  Perhaps it's due to the fact that the team I root for has already lost twice to the Detroit Lions.  Or it could be because of the "services rendered" wager I made with a comely dental hygienist who is a Colts fan.  I'll let you decide, sexy readers, but the battle of unbeatens that will take place in Indianapolis today promises to be exciting.  Or at least a reason to remain sedentary for 3+ hours on a Sunday afternoon.

Thanks to drunken jedi Tom for creating the image to the right.  I suppose NFL quarterbacks are somewhat similar to the knights of the Galactic Republic.  And Belichick is like the Emperor – I bet Darth Sidious had illegal cameras all over the Senate.  How many times did I play out the events of my imagined version of Episode VII as a boy with my Star Wars dolls action figures?  As I got older , most of the stories focussed on Han and Leia's wedding night.  Don't look at me that way!  Besides, in my imagination, Carrie Fisher has not aged since 1983 and is forever wearing her Mark Mangino Jabba sex-slave costume. -KD
