Good God Bill Polian…

Wipe that stupid grin off your face. The serious knee injury suffered by New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker in the meaningless season finale doesn’t justify what your Indianapolis Colts did during the previous week. As team president you encouraged resting healthy players and throwing away a shot at a the immortality of a perfect season. Now the Colts enter the playoffs riding a two-game losing streak and as the enemy of most otherwise-neutral fans looking for a rooting interest. Your complete disregard for NFL history has actually managed to make Bill Belichick look good. Are you really naïve enough to think that it’s a coincidence that every time you pull this stunt your team chokes in the playoffs, and that the one time you reached the playoffs as a wild card you won the Super Bowl? If so, pick up the phone. The Raiders are calling to offer you a former No. 1 overall pick to be your quarterback of the future.
