Bob Kravitz resilience is second to mine

So me and Bob Kravitz were having dinner the other night at Five Guys. I had just dripped Ketchup (or catsup if you prefer) onto my 20 dollar fleece pullover when Ol' Bob looked up from his cup of fries and said, "I'm going to write an article that is completely unprovable one way or the other, then I'm just going to abruptly end it. That'll screw with people's minds." As I was wiping the ketchup off I asked Bob, "How does make for a good article?" Bob looked confused, stared at me blankly and we finished our meals in silence. Then he wrote this (as usual his words in italics):

Colts' resilience is second to none
In the wee hours after the Colts' 427th come-from-behind victory, this one over Jacksonville, something strange occurred to me: During my 10 years following this team, I've written roughly a million-and-a-half words that have never seen the light of day.

And yet this article does, can't catch'em all I guess.

I should have saved them all and compiled them into a two-volume set called "Half-Written Columns That Got Deleted Because the Colts Came Back in the Fourth Quarter."

I'm going to go out on a limb and say I would not have bought that.

See, when you're on deadline during a night game, you've got to write as the game goes along, and if the Colts are losing through three quarters, you've generally written 550 words to reflect that fact.
That is, until they start doing things that nobody in football history has done before. We're not talking run-of-the-mill comebacks. We're talking epic, history-making, did-I-just-see-that kinds of comebacks.
"So why don't you just write with the assumption they're going to come back?"
Because the first time I do that, they'll flat-out lose and I'll have a blank screen five minutes before deadline, that's why.

Alright, you should never ask a pretend question in your own column, it's just hacky, like using voice over.
"So you should never ask pretend questions in your columns Jasu?"
Nope Timmy, never.

I spend a decade in Denver watching John Elway perform minor miracles, but those Broncos, two-time Super Bowl champions, paled in comparison to these guys -- at least in the comeback department.

Nice, completely unprovable. I mean I can't even tell in what way they pale in comparison. Did the Broncos not have as many comebacks? Did they not have any that were as big? How can you just write that without anything to back it up?

The comeback against New England in the 2006 AFC Championship Game clearly ranks as the most important. But for my money, the unlikeliest, the one that had me ready to throw my computer out of the press box, was the 2003 return from the dead in Tampa.

Honestly I looked all over the page to find a link to page two of the article because I assumed that could not be the end. I mean Bob didn't even explain what happened in Tampa and it was over 6 years ago. Just an oblique reference to some game you have to look up manually to find any info about. If you're wondering, the Colts came back from a 35-14 deficit.

Well I guess three examples and knocking the Denver Broncos efforts is going to have to do as far as proving the thesis that the Colts resilience is second to none.
Case Closed!
