Watching the Colts/Saints game, flipping occasionally to Oregon State/Cincinnati, which is being recorded on my TiVo. Some thoughts on the Colts game.

• Will the Colts line be held in the same regard as the Denver line as far as run blocking is concerned? Will they ascend to that level? They have made Joseph Addai, Edgerrin James, and Dominic Rhodes into 1,000 yard rushers.
• The Saints offense is non-impressive at this point and vanilla. Given who the Colts have at the corners, I thought we would see more of a vertical passing game then we have from the Saints so far.
• Why, oh, why is Sean Payton wearing a visor indoors? I mean, I understand the cap. The cap has become an indoor head accessory. The visor has not. It would be like me walking into the newsroom tomorrow with a beanie on.
• If I have to listen to this John Mellancamp This is Our Country Chevy commercial all-season, there is a fair chance I will end up sticking bamboo skewers in my ears by week three.

College football notes

• If Oregon State has any chance of winning this game against Cincinnati, they had better figure out how to block for Yvenson Bernard and protect the quarterback. So far, they have done neither.
• I can no longer take Louisville seriously or the Big East for that matter. How can I take a conference or a supposed top ten team seriously that gives up 35 points (with 13 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter) to Middle Tennessee? The same Middle Tennessee that lost to Florida Atlantic last week.
