Ryan's Bio

I'm Ryan Nelson, a football fanatic who doubles as a UFC lover. I am a fan of the Indianapolis Colts, the Boston Red Sox, and Forrest Griffin. I genuinely love coaching football, as well as being a wrestler.

Go Colts!!!

Peyton Manning's 2004 season was better than Tom Brady's 2007 season. Want to know why? The Indianapolis Colts Round-Table is at it again...

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/137261-peyton-manning-had-a-more-impressive-season-in-2004-than-tom-brady-did-in-2007

We put a lot of effort into this one and hope to earn your POTD vote. Hope you enjoy the article!

I did a ton of research and worked really hard on this one. You tell me, is Peyton Manning a choke-artist?

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/126162-the-myth-of-peyton-mannings-postseason-chokes-exposed-as-works-of-fiction

I'm hoping to pull in some POTD votes with this one so hopefully I'll earn yours.

I usually don't pimp my articles like this, but I'm pissed.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/125091-brady-sucks-or-are-you-patriot-fans-idiots

Usually I write humor, but this turd has found a way to gain fame by baiting Patriot fans into reads.

Oh, since I name him I expect it to be deleted. I saved it to my computer if you want it.

This might be the most interesting article I've written to date. Did you know that from 1960 to 1969 the NFL held a "Playoff Bowl" pinning the runners-up from each Conference in a game to determine the 3rd place team of the NFL?

The entire history is right here...

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/119446-the-unknown-history-of-the-playoff-bowl-and-how-it-could-work-in-the-nfl-today#comment_body_556659

I'm trying really hard to win the POTD with this and have already managed to earn a few votes, hopefully I'l learn yours as well.

Hope you enjoy,

Is wrestling okay for that knee? I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Hey, what say we swap email addresses? Let me know what you think about that.

what do you do after your brother's football team's season ends? do you earn money with your music? just curious. also wanted to say, may the best team win on sunday. I always look forward to my guys playing your guys, always a good game. this one should be... well, interesting. that's not a bad thing considering that just a few weeks ago we were wondering if this game would even mean anything. turns out it does... that's great! take care, Ryan.
