Last night's game confirmed the outcome of the AFC this year. Indianapolis will go 15-1 or 14-2 (losses to Jacksonville and maybe Miami), get to the championship game, and then lose to Baltimore or San Diego because Vinatieri shanks a 45-yarder, thereby proving it was the uniform's fault, not the liquor's.

Of course, Vanderchoke will be laughing at the Colts as it happens - from the comfort of his own home, where he will have been residing for the previous month.
