For Bobby Boyd, the nightmares have subsided. Forty-one years after Super Bowl III, the Baltimore Colts' All-Pro cornerback can finally go the night without waking in panic, thoughts of The Upset haunting his sleep. It took nearly this long for Boyd to shrug off the Colts' 16-7 loss to Joe Namath and the New York Jets in January 1969, a seminal moment in NFL lore and one that often is rehashed when the Super Bowl nears. The ESPN flashbacks started early this year, thanks to Sunday's AFC championship matchup between the Jets and Indianapolis Colts - a showdown whose hype has salted the old wounds of Baltimore players and fans alike.

Oh, the momentum the Ravens must be carrying into tomorrow's clash, right? "It's irrelevant," coach John Harbaugh insisted Monday. "Doesn't matter. We've got a road game this week playing the New York Giants." Well, at the very least, we can agree this is a big game, right? I mean, the Giants are the defending Super Bowl champs. They've lost just once this year. "Everybody can make out of any game what they want to make out of it," Harbaugh offered Wednesday. "It might be interesting for some people or some fans more than other fans, but nonetheless every single one of them counts the same."

We're in the barber shop. In the waiting area. Doughnuts are on the table and Colts nuts fill the seats. For nearly 40 years, they've been coming to Gentlemen's Gentlemen on Joppa Road - old Baltimore Colts players, coaches, and front office executives. And plenty of fans. They still come and several are in here right now, invited to discuss, debate and dissect the similarities between the two best quarterbacks to play with a horseshoe on their helmets. "The first time I saw Peyton in that Colts uniform, I thought to myself, `This guy looks just like him,'" says George Henderson.

THE RAVENS aren't my favorite NFL team. They're a close No. 2. All season long, I've been pulling for two flocks of football birds: the Ravens and the Philadelphia Eagles. It's always been that way -- Baltimore and Philadelphia. It's easy to explain why I root for the Eagles. Philly's my hometown, and although the City of Brotherly Love has the worst fans since the Roman Empire, I've stuck with the team through good times (few) and bad times (plenty). It was refreshing to watch the Eagles' rising young star quarterback, Donovan McNabb, almost single-handedly revive a once-moribund squad.
