And I believe the correct Pats homer response would be: Gee, I wonder who went 13-4 ? C’mon, you’d think less of me if I didn’t reply. ;-)

It’s gonna be a fun year.

 that lives in a state w/ a very limited gene pool.

I didn’t want to get in on this. (formerly bleeding blue, changed names with SB v 2.0) BUT……
I think the appropriate Colts homer response would be, Peyton Manning taught everything Eli knows and therefore beat the Pats. It’s the only logical answer. And Rodney Harrison……. well maybe another day.

This gives me an opportunity to bore the masses with yet another diatribe on online communication. I have been participating in, and sometimes moderating, online forums for a long time. For those of you who know what DECnotes and USENET are, you can postulate that I’m not a Gen X’er. In fact, I can remember changing channels without the use of a remote.

Putting comments about my age aside, I appreciate and value opinions from all over. I especially appreciate the thoughtful opinions, the ones that make me go, “Hmm…, I never thought of it that way.” These thoughts usually come from opposing fans and, in some cases, Patriots fans like JHR and mainiac who “call me out” on a regular basis when I write something stupid.

Back to this post. Aside from emparting not so pearly pearls of wisdom or trying to keep folks informed, I must moderate the forum. This is tricky and subjective as the choices and actions taken can be a direct reflection of the moderator’s core values, if you will. This post was clearly inflammatory and in clear opposition to my values, but I left it up anyway because I knew it would generate discussion from some of the more thoughtful and balanced commentors in this world of bits and bytes.

I’ve stated before, I value ALL posts as long as they’re thoughtful, well written and balanced. Oh, let’s not forget a little good-natured ribbing or homerism. Cheers.

 I love to hate you guys.
