I have the utmost respect in the world for Bill Belichik's ability to coach a football team and the New England Patriots. However, I am to a point where I say no mas! I'm tired of hearing about the Patriots and how they're going to go undefeated.

The latest prediction comes from Jason Cole of Yahoo Sports in this article. In it Cole suggests it would be to the benefit of the league if the Pats go undefeated until the final week of the season when they have a game on the NFL Network. Then, untold milllyuns and millyuns of Americans would go screaming "I want my NFLN." No, that statement isn't as catchy as "I want my MTV!" but the effect is the same.

Yeah, that would be something, but as the national media continues to power the New England Patriots hype machine, there sits the Indianapolis Colts, defending Super Bowl Champions and de facto also-ran, getting more and more frustrated. Perhaps the Colts like flying under the radar, but I cannot help but believe that the longer this goes on, the more that team, which has developed a dominating defense, stews and comes out against the Patriots on Nov. 4 in Indy with a boulder-sized chip on its shoulder and with something to prove.
