In Indianapolis and because of that. It got a specialist bringing in here right now Mike chappell from the Indian it's been Indianapolis star Mike how are you tonight. Yeah I'm good thanks we're rod talk you know a lot of folks calling us from India and and this this night and other nights already here we go you know. As this rivalry rekindle itself but it is quite a rivalry might but. Do you think it's anywhere near the Yankee Red Sox rivalry.
Oh probably not that's what a lot more history of this thing about a you know maybe effort you know much because again these these guys rival for the most. -- is easily at at Burnett time. What umps -- one way or the other though you know and it now now it's more rutted road more overall it would have been when we're in the division because. When they've played have been so much its statement. I -- begin a but it -- yeah.
We just had an -- not an argument it was nice pleasant discussion actually with a gentleman from reduce the cost back Monday. If the patriots either way no matter who wins this game and that's what these cross you know country rivalries are wrong about here despite Resop and San Diego last week the Indianapolis Colts. Our our -- kind of look into fulfill. What a lot of people nationally by the quote experts Mike are predicting will be Peyton Manning's year that it is destiny that -- dude this is and how you feel.
All I don't know he's he's put in the time of and the effort in. And not been rewarded by whenever the you know the big game in which is -- the big game the last policies that you know when that one. It was a big game that. You know -- quite evidently have to be defined in this game and you know the data will be -- either. Finally it's been Super Bowl or or -- loosen it will be you know -- world wasn't. -- that's simpler way to -- that that's the way the NFL is you know if they'd make it to quarterback in the coached a lot of red that they now. Other book they're bombs. Velocity you know I'd I'd just noted what it means to him but it did mean does that to him the -- the team in the franchise there -- visit individually I think -- with the human. It and and the franchise first the there's no doubt in my mind of somewhere -- statement mind you want to get this done this so if they feel I can get a.
Yeah and you know the national that the networks of course will always NE colts patriots game is always he Brady. Averse Peyton Manning's showed out you know it's always got that. That angled to a that there are other stories go games well the long history between bill poly in the patriots have built ballot check. And that particular guy what's with that guy needs and what's with the statements that he that he seems to continually make. About the way the patriots play football.
I need you know I really haven't heard -- this week I don't pay a lot of attention to the radio show on I I know that still -- pre title game where where the patriots it's rendered apples because -- in multiple receivers. And victor from Villanova was imposed the world from the so yeah it is it is like this is being shipped or whatever I don't know you know I'd I don't know if you could be that much inflammatory or or one like and I -- it and -- edited he's already in the center of this and sometimes. It's probably better to do. The higher up is still radio unless it looked like the coaches and the players kind of set the tone boost for the game but one to get his defense is passionate about it he whether it's awful Carolina of the bowl he. You know illusion reasoned ties with even about -- they wanted what are speakers typical for whomever department are it was a general manager. Return to -- busy year bill in the scheme but you know built repression elliptical.
Here's here's a quote the -- about values talking to you know the FL competition committee here one. While the courses anytime you get a game it's totally field goals and especially in the playoffs when you do without question you have the 4 best teams the AFC left on that particular weekend you ought to have more scoring -- that basically. You know talking more about like the old patriots colts games at 3834 what have you.
But here is coming up the game where at AT and was off google's. And that's his team.
Yeah I didn't ER that the game what city I didn't feel there was a lot of Russian children revenues as -- is playing great deep sense into offenses that took what they go to the time an I don't remember any. Blaring plays where. The ravens elliptical receivers and -- that wasn't called or whatever so but technically yet it is for the most part of the requirements scoring and but that it is great people -- lleyton like that would north.
Your your -- article today in the Indianapolis star Indy start dot com talks about mr. perfect and we all are very familiar with about -- course Adam Vinatieri a rate in his last two weeks worth football. And perfect career at the RCA dome it is favorites -- convicted Jack knife out of football right.
Yeah really it is kind of funny it's I defend his vision damages be effective the football gods have a have a sense that you weren't they have a typical fan of this game will be. We don't want -- to Nichols 41 with Cuba to play and they brought him down there and so purported secured -- all of this time than Terry hit that.
Not well I guess yeah I had a different vision that the cost of gradually had the night before strikes and just as he's planting his left foot. And he falls down on the but feel that misses the ball completely.
That would kill the -- that the oh god of very cool appear more nasty. If so what are good but the build on what city you're gonna you have used to think like up at you know I guess part of this is. And this is just the outside looking in it would be some kind of justice that that that New England what -- guy like -- it was well what what that huge. Figure to contributors Super -- excessive but I'm not mistaken didn't make an attempt to fighting in the opposite recited analyses on. You know commit a lot of you know like issue -- you can replace your kicker but.
Well I I thought I heard a little differently and that was that he wanted to go anyway because they had them. Franchised him and he felt like he'd been short on the money of course bill -- and steps up -- five years 12 million including a three point five up front and Vinatieri with a perfect indoor record of the great to you know record at the -- Utah -- there amuse. That I don't know that the was much of a contest.
Well you know give I cannot I don't know what what what went on with the with the patriots not strongly stepped up -- good -- but whatever. -- impression -- have been operated offered something. Marketable he would've stayed there. Just because -- of loyalty of all that but you know and it did he he took the best should offer to get enough by the public it I got a chance to go play. At least. Games of the regular season work seven million. -- and and no and the cheerleaders have their convention. That's right I can't argue it was is sort of a no brainer and they and the result it wouldn't even before and it misses it over the wouldn't be back here this year Soviet leader kicker this sort. -- a typical.
Now we we talk all the time about -- Manny and how opinion not he's on every commercial use the you know -- or not it's not boo it's movers cut that meat you know for -- set. It's paid Manny we know he's a big superstar quite obviously by the commercial endorsements he gets. I wonder if those endorsements are going to fall off if indeed again he fails to get the team to the big game.
I don't know if it'll be interesting it will. What are people look up my music it pleasure when it. They lost in the divisional round and it and then didn't even you know to get home field throughout they don't -- it even leave leave the building so I don't know I I I I I I sort of doubt it because he's got such up. All -- homespun approach and noses and -- could be it is seemed pretty popular so. The tactic got in the title game as a -- in the first round -- whatever I'd be surprised it is. National title winning very about that there will committee goes up to go to him -- would scoreboard and it was you know we're -- what's the moral the actually remarkable.
The outlawed or let's assess him for a second obviously he's got all the skills in the world and people compared to Elway because of the fact that he didn't get the ring yet but eat you know he's in his numbers are astounding his won loss record is great. But there are also is also -- school of people mostly from opposition towns. Who think dead he's date you know long -- being headed nose picking -- he's gotta be somewhere between the two where do you put -- All I got picks up. Yeah I do well email it to you guys have pictured him pick in his note and that's it Scotty Bowman when he was a red wings coach. Has anyone gotten caught better Berrian knuckle then but you know what these guys from down there in the south that's okay. It's all about we get in the ring he gets a ring NF finger may be taken so far -- notes.
Way to -- get very -- by implementing a direct help Pickler a lot of assets -- yeah its. It's noted that what Peyton there's simply no defense what would people pregnant that we've had great numbers of -- and that's 1100 you know this yeah. But you haven't done on the play soccer finances in the playoffs. He has noticed that he doesn't try to make -- that they -- the president does or is it called the play's title in 2003 game. He does in the decision though it is what it is and aren't going to be better next -- critical about saying well what -- these guys. It's it's he's got -- guys take your pick your shot that we've gotten there and it it is my punitive. If they lose a Normal on Sunday he'll say the same things guys. We tried using duke block -- for a better next year that's going relatively you know -- he has no defensive -- and the league of the team.
And you know to a degree you that is dungy yet personal tragedy interfered I think with a possibility for him but now he's you know it's 6 in -- lifetime postseason record discount it for him isn't that.
I think it's the same thing it's it's the quarterback and the coach but -- it too much credit when he went into what went when you lose that you -- that means he is no different have been batting. He has some great Tampa bay -- didn't get there he -- of the great run last year. That that was that erupted in and it it you know I don't think anyone knows so much. That took out of the team not just Tony done with you're. Horrific for him but negative impact of the team will to some degree but you're right it until banning and dungy get there between what they were really great you know in the in the regular season. And it and until they get -- that but going to be an over the other
which is a scary it's scary thought there where -- does theater well put though you know and I wanted to I want to thank Mike -- in Indy and February. We email you this picture Mike dot. Mike dot chapel CH 8 PP ELL at Indy start dot com.
