The Atlanta Braves of the NFL

For 14 consecutive years, the Atlanta Braves made the post-season, often with the best record in baseball and often-times with MVP winners or at least candidates. In all those years of getting to the post-season, they only had one championship to show for it.

Looks like the Colts are following suit. Things were looking good. They rolled into the post-season and were playing a team that had to win 4 games in a row at the end just to have a record of 8-8. But, like last year, the Chargers took the Colts out. Time may soon be running out on Peyton Manning to get that second trophy and for the Colts to make their mark as one of the all-time teams. Another frustrating post-season loss for them when everything seemed to be in place.

The bright spot? My Arizona Cardinals won their first home playoff game in 47 years! Kurt Warner is looking good. They are off to Carolina next weekend. Win that one and they are one game from the Super Bowl. I wonder if the fans in St. Louis are glad they let Warner go?
