Sounds like Peyton Manning wasn’t the only one who wanted to get the Patriots off their back and finally beat them. While Tony Dungy, Peyton Manning and company were downplaying the significance of the win after the game, one person let their emotions all out during it.
Bill Polian, the Colts president, seemed to want to beat the living pulp out of the Patriots. Maybe losing all the time to them brought out the Terry Tate office linebacker in him. He was sitting in the pressbox a couple row down from reporters from the Providence Journal who wrote about his behavior and comments during the game.
In a Journal notes section written by Curran and two other staff writers, Polian had his own headline “Press-box sideshow,” in which his outbursts were described as pounding his fist repeatedly on a table, throwing a left hook into the air, whipping his notebook, leaping from his chair and “cursing unintelligibly under his breath.”
Oh and it gets better. This was probably after a couple cold sodas and pretzels.
When the Colts scored a late touchdown to go up 40-21 and lined up for a two-point conversion, the Patriots were in the midst of changing personnel. In an effort to buy time, Belichick threw his challenge flag onto the field.
“There’s one set of rules for him and one for everybody else,” raged Polian.
“Just kick [the extra point],” someone in the press box suggested.
“Kick it [my behind],” answered Polian.
You think at the end when victory is certain he would savor and sit there with a smile on his face. I guess any game but this one.
With four seconds remaining and the Patriots hurrying to the line to squeeze off one final play in a 40-21 blowout by Indy, Colts president Bill Polian said with annoyance, “They’re trying to run another play. He’s going to throw another pass.”
And as backup quarterback Doug Flutie rolled out with pressure on his heels, Polian muttered, “Break his leg.”
Break his leg?? Flutie is like 5′7”. He doesn’t have much leg to break. Be nice. Plus he’s like really old. Maybe you can say “Wax some of that arm hair off you hairy ape!!” instead.

Fuck that fuckin’ pussy mother fucker. Fuck Polian and his whole family. I’ll rape his kids and shit on his face and in his mouth.
Polian is going to see just how superior the Pats are in 2007. It won’t be pretty when they play Sunday in the dome.
Polian has been on the Competition Committee for years. There is a reason for this.
He lost 4 straight SBs in the early 90’s, the first to a Giants team which featured Belichick as the defensive coordinator.
Polian did not like Belichick providing the blueprint, defensively, of how to beat the Bills teams.
There is a reason why so many new rules have been introduced into the NFL by Polian in recent years, not to mention to ridiculous attention given to 90 year old rules that have worked fine since the beginning.
The piped in crowd noise rumor at the RCA Dome, along with the adjustment of the dome thermostat, going far beyond NFL regulations, also are questionable tactics from Bill Polian.
I was sorry to see Indy go down at home vs a team full of backups. I really wanted to see the Pats kick the living shit out of Indy in Foxboro on Sunday. Did you hear this dueschebag Polian complaining about a non-call on a delay of game. Listen jackoff. You got 2 phantom calls (one of which cost a TD). Face it you’re team sux. They always will suck. They got lucky last year. And you are still playing second fiddle to the PatriOts
I assume all of you keep track of statistics, since apparently you live and breathe for football (sadly). While you are pitching your nonsense on blogs such as this one, do a search for Polian’s history as a Gm and President. Pay special attention to where each team was BEFORE he arrived in comparison to after being there for a few years. I think you will see that though he does have a temper, he is pretty damed good at what he does. If Polian’s temper makes him horrible, what does cheating do for Belichick?
As for all the rules getting changed because of Polian being on the Competition Committee, how flattering you are to assume that he is the only one with a voice. So are you saying he is so powerful he can convince everyone on the Committee to support his “self-serving” rule changes. Wow…and these are the men operating YOUR teams. I won’t even address “ridiculous attention given to 90 year old rules that have worked fine since the beginning”. I bet you work for a municipality don’t you?
And oh yeah, how did you enjoy the Superbowl against the Giants? Did they get lucky too?
