You see that picture of a horse above? Miles Bronco, I believe his name is. How he came to headline this post is a little open window to the eyes of the media.
My initial plan for a photo was Luke Kuechly pretty much icing Monday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts with his overtime interception. No dice. In fact, no photos of Kuechly from last night’s game were in the photo database.
Okay, so how about Cam Newton flashing his million dollar smile. That’s always a great picture; the guy was born to be a cover man. No photos of Newton from last night’s game either.
In fact, there were no pictures of any Carolina Panthers, nor were there pictures of any Indianapolis Colts. USA Today’s always-stellar photography crew appears to have taken the game off. And that says it all, really. Heading into the season you could’ve set your watch by every Colts game being appointment television. Yet here we are, halfway through the season, and they are, at 3-5, unquestionably the biggest disappointment in the NFL. As for the Panthers, well, they’re the most underrated 7-0 team in the league (possibly in NFL history – you’d have to assume other undefeated squads playing on Monday Night Football) were shown some love.
So that’s where Miles comes in. His Broncos (still undefeated) pummeled NFC favorite Green Bay (no longer undefeated) in front of a national audience greater than what watch Game 5 of the World Series. Winner winner, Broncos dinner. Take your place in the sun, Miles.
