PrintNo, I haven't gone to the darkside. I'm still your old, loveable MPF (emphasis on old). I had a fun lead up to this most heralded game, but I'm still looking to head into the Lube and end Indy's undefeated streak in style. Looking at the injury report, we appear to have key folks coming back. Granted, it was the media portion of practice and those players could've sat during the closed portion, but it bodes well for us. Of particular note: WR Julian Edelman, RB Sammy Morris, C Dan Koppen, S Brandon Meriweather, and LT Matt Light (Doubtful).
Out of all of these returning players, I think Edelman will be the most impactful, IF his arm has healed enough. He'll provide a nice third receiver option for Brady and could rotate in and out with Wes Welker to keep him fresh. I would then suggest Sammy Morris in order of importance. When Laurence Maroney is having trouble, Morris seems to find a way to work through the holes. He's also been providing a nice checkdown target for Tom Brady.
All in all, these returns to practice are good to see. Or maybe Darth Hoodius is making Indy prepare for them when they may not return? No, he would never do that with an injury report, would he?

Great to have you back "home" where you belong
And your profile pic cleaned up nice too (whew!)
Keep the faith!
Delousing time
I heard you caught a case of the “y’alls” when you went troppo in Colts territory, MaPatsFan. Should get that checked out, it’s contagious.

And we must run some tests to see if you're the REAL MaPatsFan!
We don’t know if you’re some kind of clone created by the nasty colts fans!

You and the Indy blogger did a great job. It seemed like I was listening to two NFL analysts. Good Job MAPatsfan!
Thanks!
As much as I can’t stand his favorite team, BBS does a nice job of hosting and asking good questions. Believe me, it’s not easy and takes a lot of preparation.

Yikes!! Just noticed the sig wasn't "cleansed". Fixed now.

We're here for you MaPatsFan, when you want to talk.
Pssssst, Marima, get ready for that intervention!

Got the chloroform...
Did SMP get that duct tape?
Marima can waterboard the Indiana out of MaPatsFan.

Fixed????
Hmmm… Did you delete it along with that hideous profile pic, or just file both of them away “in case you might need it again sometime?” Tsk tsk. Just a few questions to ask yourself, friend. As SMP said, we’re here for you.
Keep the faith!
Can't chat too much
Gotta get a few games in at the bowladrome. It’s a good thing I have the tractor pull DVR’d.

In completely unrelated news,
There’s this new guy MaColtsFan that’s been hanging out for the last few days.

As long as I can see articles about the Pats, I'm good.
I’ve got no problem with love for Indy, but I come here to read about the Pats. Too creepy the other way around.

Also MaPatsFan, I'm not sure the denials are the way to go.
The first step is realizing you’ve got a problem.

Noooo.
Final step is to remove the giant poster of Peyton Manning from the closet door problem. It’s like a cancer – has to be excised and then treated with chemicals.

What would you think if MaPatsFan had written about the Pats on our blog?
I think that would have been cool. Or if BBS had written all Pats content that would have been cool, I guess the two of them just underestimated the need to be intentional about posting the same amount about each team on each site to keep the under-represented team (which turned out to be you guys) happy.
Tell you what, we’ll try to make up for it by kicking your ass tomorrow.
