So, as many predicted the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots are off to fantastic starts this season, both teams are undefeated with Indi 6-0 and New England 7-0. This off course only adds to the hype as to which one will be the best team in the NFL when the two meet, hopefully still undefeated in Indianapolis on Nov. 4th. New England's solid win over the Dallas Cowboys proves which conference is the best with the AFC boasting many of the leagues stronger clubs, but as many announces spouted during last night Indi-Jacksonville game this is the regular season, the playoffs are what count. But come on, we all know that each team wants the upper hand and that it will give the winner a huge edge should the two meet in the post season again. The need to state that this is a big game is obvious but the hype will always exceed the result in these situations, regardless of who is on the field. I hope the game is all it can be, and I have no doubt it will be entertaining, but talking about it ad nauseum only spoils it for many.
Speaking of build up, the World Series is rather intriguing this year with the young, upstart Colorado Rockies facing one of the games giants in the Boston Red Sox. Boston is heavily favoured and has all the experience on their side, but that doesn't put a trophy in the case. However Boston have shown that they want it as much as anyone after coming back on Cleveland who seem to loose interest once they got the 3-1 series lead. This is once again proof that build up is something the fans love to do, and ticket sellers thrive on, but hey it beats saying nothing.
