What some will do for their team (Go Colts!)


Colts fever is rampant here in Indianapolis! Since winning the AFC Championship, the atmosphere in the city has been amazing. Businesses adding blue color to fountains, blue spotlights on buildings at night, and as you can see above, some going to the extreme.

I have a good friend who owns the local franchise for CertaPro Painters, now I am not here to promote his business (he does an excellent job of doing that on his own and I don't think my blog has quite the reach of one of his billboards!), but his crew painted the outside of their soon to be renovated building - in Colts blue! I drive by this building twice a day on my way to and from work and it is a really nice addition to the scenery! It really looks great, but at night with the spotlight on the building, it really does shine (no pun intended!)

There are only six days left until kick-off for the biggest game this city has ever seen. I am looking forward to getting together with friends to cheer the Colts on and bring a first ever Super Bowl victory to the city! GO COLTS!

DURHAM. N.C. - That cup of coffee just not getting it done anymore? How about a Buzz Donut or a Buzzed Bagel? That's what Doctor Robert Bohannon, a Durham, North Carolina, molecular scientist, has come up with. Bohannon says he's developed a way to add caffeine to baked goods, without the bitter taste of caffeine. Each piece of pastry is the equivalent of about two cups of coffee.

While the product is not on the market yet, Bohannon has approached some heavyweight companies, including Krispy Kreme, Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks about carrying it.

On to the Super Bowl!

Now that the Indianapolis Colts are Super Bowl bound, it is time to think about what will keep us occupied between that down time when CBS has to pay for the game. Commercials! I found a nifty little site that has a history of Super Bowl commericals dating back to 1998. It also features the top commerical of all time, including "1984" by Apple.

GO COLTS!

COLTS are Super Bowl Bound!

As I sat and watched the Colts come back from a 21-3 deficit, I knew that I was watching history in the making. All those people saying that Manning could not win "the big game" were wrong today, one of the biggest games in Colts history. It was truly a memorable moment in sports history. Check out what the Boston Globe said about last night's game:
