    mike and mike tried to make an issue of it and their own staff member (a pats fan and former UCONN player) dismissed it because it didn't have an effect on the game.<br/>
    <br/>
    even our local sports show announcers on espn and fox affiliates tried to make something of it. most call in fans had the same reaction.. there were bad calls, they did favor the colts...but the best team won so it didn't matter.<br/>
    <br/>
    per my previous opinion on this subject in other forums, good teams do that more often than not.<br/>
    <br/>
    as for the 'making excuses for the colts'... im not reading or hearing much of that anywhere.</r>

    Half a season to go, but I think we see these two play each other again in the Conference Final.

    I also haven't heard about the Colts making a lot of excuses.

    New England is an awesome team and Indy is very close.

    I did not make excuses for the Colts, and I can assure you that if the Colts had won, I would not be acting like Joel.
