It's Super Bowl Sunday tomorrow and luckily for us, Peter King came through again with another mind raping epic column. Last we left Rascal Fats, he was honorring his contract at SI and telling us that the 'Niners need to draft Tim Tebow.

What will you bless us with now Peter???

1. I think after watching the Colts for four hours over the past two days at practice as the Pro Football Writers Association's pool reporter,

Look at me, I AM THE PRO FOOTBALL WRITER'S ASSOCIATION'S POOL REPORTER! I AM STILL SO MUCH BETTER THAN ALL OF YOU!

the one word I'd use to describe their practices is businesslike.

Do we dare say that they lead the league in it??

Sorry for the cliché, but that's what I see in all aspects of what they do. It stretches right down to the ballboy who places the ball on the line speedily during two-minute drills, wearing an officials' jersey. Impressive.

Who would have thought? A team that's on the verge of winning it's 2nd Super Bowl in 4 years has good practice sessions. Groundbreaking stuff by Blob Villa.

This morning, I ran into Billy Devaney, the GM of the team that's on the draft clock right now -- St. Louis -- and I said to him, "Who are you picking?'' I meant, of course, in the draft. And he thought for a minute and said, "The Colts.'' I'm glad he said that because if he'd talked about who he was picking number one overall on April 22, I'd have had to struggle again with how to spell Ndamukong Suh.

And in the end you end up spelling 'Ndamukong Suh' anyways. You're a very odd man, King...

I have seen two Colts practices as of this writing, and I can shed absolutely no light on Freeney's availability,

SI's leading football writer and the Pro Football Writer's Association's pool reporter can shed absolutely no light on the status of the most important defensive player right before the biggest game of the season.

Don't worry Peter, we don't care about silly, little things like injury updates. JUST TELL US MORE STORIES ABOUT BRELEIGH FAVRE!! That's why we read your columns in the first place!

4. I think I spent approximately 236 hours on the radio this week, from the campus station at Fairfield University to my friends at KTAR in Phoenix, and I am spent. Finished. There's nothing else to say. Play the damn thing.

Keep raking in that money, son. You've earned it!

Manning was the first pick in the '98 draft. It says much because the Colts have 19 undrafted free-agents on their team -- and they have a bunch of high-profile, highly drafted offensive players, led by Manning. The formula has worked like a charm, obviously.

You mean to tell us that football teams are sometimes made up out of high profiled draft choices and undrafted free agents? In between this and knowing that the Colts practice well, I feel like a whole new world has opened up for me....

8. I think there's no question the Saints watched the Week 8 Colts-Niners game to pick up some clues on how to play Indy's offense.

Yes sir, SI's leading football writer, telling us that the Saints went back to look at previous Colts games to see how they can stop Indy's offense. There isn't enough sarcasm in the English language to accurately portray how I'm feeling right now.

Go lick pavement King....
