Mike Chappell: Colts Q&A Archives
It might be a shock to their systems if they are asked to sit and watch a game when the temperature is 45-50 degrees.
Question: I just cant get psyched for this upcoming game at New England. The Patriots are so injury riddled that they dont even resemble the old Patriots. Its not a Colts/Patriots game. Its a Colts/Patriots replacement game. Dont be fooled by this potential victory in Foxborough. You agree? (L.M. from Indianapolis)
Answer: No, I dont. The Patriots might not be at 100 percent, but theyre still the Patriots. Theyre still a quality team that will be playing at home on Monday Night Football. Theyve still got Tom Brady and all of those receivers and Corey Dillon still can be productive. The defense always finds a way to get the job done. Remember the playoff game last season when New England had so many defensive backs out? The replacements came in and played well.

Weather: P/CLOUDY
AUTRYVILLE — Twelve-year-old Jonathan Pounders probably just wishes everybody would leave him alone. After all, it’s kind of embarrassing when your little sister’s friends call you ‘superhero’ and ask for your autograph. And then there’s all those newspaper people hanging around, wanting to take pictures of you and ask you all those weird questions. But Jonathan takes it in stride — ducking his head and smiling shyly. By now he knows that that’s what you get for being a good Samaritan. Jonathan, a seventh-grader at Roseboro/Salemburg Middle School, was standing outside his grandmother’s house in Autryville on Nov. 5 when he heard what sounded like a donkey braying in a nearby cornfield. It was noon on a school day, but Jonathan, who has ADHD and bipolar disorder, had been suspended for acting up, and he was waiting for his mother to take him to a doctor’s appointment in Chapel Hill.
Views: KGB; Compassion for rape victims; Monroe Street development
Thanks to Wisconsin State Journal sports reporter Jason Wilde for Friday's article on Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila and the film, "Facing the Giants." It is a great movie with principles that can be used in many areas of our lives. We each need to take responsibility in our lives, and take time to impact others' lives. Both KGB and this movie have done a super job of living that. The movie is also clear on the message that our hope and direction is from one source, and that is the Lord God -- Jesus. .
Only 10 of 46 air cons operable at Tamuning Elementary
Just when things were beginning to cool off, things are heating back up at Tamuning Elementary School. Students at the central school are feeling the heat once again, as a majority of the classrooms are without working air conditioning units. (This comes a few months after the units were repaired.) A total of 36 out of 46 classrooms are currently without the services of functional A/C."I told the board I'd challenge them to come to my school, sit in my class and watch my teacher give a lesson, because it's so hot," said Student Body Association president Geawna Hernandez. The outspoken fifth grader had approached the Guam Education Policy Board during its meeting last night, voicing her frustrations. The student says teachers are conducting classes outside because the heat has become unbearable, adding that she doesn't want to return back a modified bell schedule.She explained, "It's really hot and I know that not all of the kids like school, but I kind of like school and I don't want to go back to the 12 o'clock schedule anymore.
