Those are 2 really bad football teams. And as it currently stands Indy will probably end up being a 4 seed in the AFC playoffs, just because so many other teams in the AFC suck so badly.

Tonight's NLDS game between the Cubs and the Cardinals featured a pitching match up of John Lester vs John Lackey, and the game turned out to be a beauty of a pitcher's duel - at least for 8 innings. I can hear Bob Lobel (Boston sports fans over the age of 30 will understand) as he says, "Why can't we ever get players like these?"
