BEGINNING DURING THE 'DOG DAYS' OF LAST SUMMER
WITH DAYS SPENT SWEATING UNDER THE BLAZING SUN
EVERY PLAYER HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET TO MIAMI
AND TO PLAY IN SUPER BOWL FORTY ONE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FROM THE AFC COMES THE INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
WITH THEIR FAMOUS QUARTERBACK PEYTON MANNING
THIS YEAR THEY'VE MANAGED TO HIT THE 'HOMER'
AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS OF POSTSEASON 'FANNING'

THEY'RE MAKING IT IN THROUGH THE WILD CARD GATE
THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED EIGHT TIMES BEFORE
FOUR OF THOSE TEAMS WENT HOME AS CHAMPIONS
WHILE THE REST WERE SIMPLY SHOWN THE DOOR

INDY'S TEAM HAS CAUSED MUCH HEAD-SCRATCHING
AS THEY'VE LOOKED BOTH LIKE CHAMP AND CLOWNS
GOING UNDEFEATED FOR NINE STRAIGHT WEEKS
BEFORE FALTERING AS THE SEASON WAS WINDING DOWN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CHICAGO'S BEARS REPRESENT THE NFC
FOLLOWING A SEASON WITH THIRTEEN WINS
THEY WON THIS GAME A DECADE AGO
AND LONG TO BE CHAMPIONS ONCE AGAIN

WHY DOESN'T THE NFC'S BEST RECORD BUY
CHICAGO'S BLUE-COLLAR TEAM MUCH RESPECT?
TRUTHFULLY THESE BEARS ARE STILL A PUZZLE
DEPENDING ON WHICH REX GROSSMAN THEY EXPECT

AND QUITE A QUANDRY HE'LL PRESENT AGAIN
JUST LIKE HE'S DONE THROUGHOUT THIS SEASON
HE'S EITHER VERY GOOD OR SIMPLY AWFUL
WITH NO MIDDLE GROUND OR RHYME OR REASON

THE REST OF THE OFFENSE IS VERY SOLID
AND THEIR DEFENSE IS WITHOUT PEER
THOSE BEAR RUNNING BACKS CAN GRIND IT OUT
THEN HIT THE SPEED AND DISAPPEAR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THOSE COLTS JUST LOVE TO CHANGE THE PLAY
AFTER THEY HAVE STEPPED UP TO THE LINE
HOPING TO KEEP THE BEARS' DEFENSE GUESSING
AND GIVING PEYTONS' ARM A CHANCE TO SHINE

THE COLTS WOULD LOVE TO SLIP A TIGHT END
RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE BEAR'S ZONE "D"
WHETHER BRIAN URLACHER CAN KEEP HIM CONTAINED
WILL BECOME ONE OF THIS GAME'S BIGGER KEYS

INDIANAPOLIS WILL TRY TO RUN - AND FAIL
AS THE BEARS WILL CRUSH THEM AT THE LINE
WHILE THE COLTS' INABILITY TO STOP THE RUN
WILL COST THEM BIG THIS TIME

TONY DUNGY AND PEYTON MANNING
SURELY FEEL THEIR TIME TO SHINE IS DUE
BUT TAKE THE BEARS - THEY'LL WIN THIS GAME
AND THE COLTS WILL GO HOME FEELING BLUE
