Fourth and Short
Very short. Welcome to the Horseshoe, the home for Colts
haiku. Football is a game of simple grace and power, grit and
glory unleashed in small explosions. It's poetry in motion. Fast
forward, that is. The 'Shoe doesn't need pages of stat-crunching
analysis to find the essence of the game.
17 weeks. 17 syllables. That's all we need. Beat that,

Colts Haiku
Seven little days.
What a difference a week makes.
The chumps look like champs!
No first half failures.
Colts grab lead, never look back.
Now THAT'S more like it!
Was Ben Franklin right?
Are turkeys the better birds?
Eagles lay big eggs.
Positive yardage,
Keep it simple, north and south.
The Mungro Doctrine.
Blitz happy Philly
puts Peyton on the hot seat.
Manning makes them pay.
Ponies in playoffs?
The sleeper has awakened.
More than just a dream.
Marvelous Marvin,
You're Philly's favorite son.
Donovan McWho?
Dwight Freeney's first start:
Three forced fumbles and one sack.
Keep him on the field!
