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
Colts beg for sellout
Indy fans step up and pay.
Sorry, no refunds.
Playoffs in our grasp,
Golden opportunity,
Giant fiasco.
Once upon a time,
Colt offense kept teams guessing.
Once, we used to score.
Edge's Sunday stats:
Forty six point eight inches
for every carry!
First and goal from six.
Peyton, Marvin Pro Bowl bound,
Three straight running plays?
Sell out crowd heard it.
The Giant can of Whoop-Ass
Opened on the Colts.
It's only one game.
Even good teams falter.
But not great ones.
Everything to gain.
Don't wait for the second half.
Here's the chance. Take it!
Colts forget last game.
Team mesmerist earns his keep.
T'was just a bad dream.
Get up and stay up.
Dome fans deserve a blowout,
not a nail-biter.
