Issue # 85: Colts vs. Raiders

 
This issue is dedicated to the memory of 

Jim Ogden, dear friend of The Horseshoe

Blitzburgh or Pittsburgh,
Jim had passion for the game
He made football fun.

Cosmic waiver wire
has a new franchise player.
Jim tops the draft board.

***

Special teams let down.
Jags get great field position
Colt D works short field

D means disrespect
Fourth down, Colt foes get greedy
Morris makes them pay.

Weak down and distance
Third and short, not a problem.
Third and long, worry.

Two interceptions
Replay gift helps Jags tie game
Replay goof rips Colts.

They're unflappable.
Any time they have the ball,
Colts offense can score.

Winter spring battle
Oakland gridiron geezers and
Naptown pigskin noobs.

Pigskin pirates in
search of luck get buried by
the big blue horseshoe.

A game of matchups
Receivers and running backs
play without ego.
