Beware the underdog

Well this is my first official post on my bloggie so im prettty excited about it...if nothing else it should improve my typing skills.....
Everyone seems to be talking about peyton manning this, and peyton manning that....well i got news for ya afc band wagon its going to be a lot closer than you think...everyone has doubted the bears all season, and i am not a big bears supporter by any means but i do love the underdog in general in sports. All the great coaches make their teams at least think they are the disrespected, no one thinks you can do it, they said this about you type team...even when billicheck has won three superbowls he still always plays this card...and why is it so effective?
Well its kind of obvious, these hulking neanderthals need a little something to take the edge off of the pressure of the big game...why not tell them that no one thinks you can do something...it has the effect of focusing and angering the frank-un steens...im not saying that all football players are some sling blades but i just mean that it is a game of aggression, look at the florida ohio state game for example, i know it was in college....Look at the steelers run last year, freed from the burden of the favorite tag they were loose enough to ride the u-card all the way last year... the underdog card is the strongest motivator in sports... so pressure builds for mr manning and the bears, and there are some big fast guys on that side, just keep listening.

Yeah, the underdog phenomenon is powerful. I think the Bears will cover the spread but still lose. Grossman melts under pressure, but somehow they've gotten this far. Da Bearsssss can put points on the board but Manning and the Colts will find it in them to edge 'em out. Funny first post, brosef.

Well, I actually wrote that last comment, but it appears as your name for some reason. Oh well.
