When the Patriots started winning Super Bowls, analysts started trying to figure out how they were doing it. And after a while, they reached a consensus. The front office brought in guys who might not be all-around great football players, but were great for one specific role. They were all hard-working, dedicated guys who had no problem with their role as just another cog in the machine.And now, the Colts have won a Super Bowl ... and I'm taking it upon myself to figure out how they did it. What kinds of players do they bring in? Here's what my independent research has found. The Colts front office specifically targets Bible-thumpers with a desire to be recording artists.
First, it was Peyton Manning and Kenny Chesney writing love songs together (you have to try really hard to see the connection to religion, but it's there). Then, it was Ben Utecht and his desire to be a Christian rocker. And now, punter Hunter (that rhymes) Smith actually already is a Christian recording artist. Smith's group, Connersvine, has signed a deal with INO Records.
"Winning the Super Bowl has been one of the highlights of my life and career. It is completely humbling that God has allowed me to not only be a part of an amazing football team, but also is giving me the chance to pursue His calling in music." shares Hunter Smith. "I feel just as strong of a call to worship leading and ministering through music as I do in football."This is just getting ridiculous. Are there any Colts out there who aren't religious zealots with a desire to sing? Is it a prerequisite for being a Colt? At the NFL Combine, do the Colts send their scouts to get 40 times, medical histories, and ask about Christian music aspirations?
Gracias, again, With Leather.

You guys in the media CRACK me UP! The Colts are still hung over and you guys are talking about how they are going to rival the UNDEFEATED Dolphins NEXT year. Why can't you guys just wait a couple of months or so. Let's see if they can handle free agency as well as the Patriots did? Let's see if they stay healthy?
MY GOD Manning had the worst post season in NFL history. The refs beat the Patriots NOT Payton in the championship game and oh yea, THEN they had to face the NFC's best (HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)that's choice. I can name 5 AFC teams that could be those CUBS. GEESUSSSS You guys are a trip! Start wrting about March Madness and the Final Four. Begin hyping up the beginning of Spring training. Hell write about bowling.....ANYTHING BUT the Colts RE-peat! Give it a rest guys...you're rerally making asses of yourselves!
