"Where's Bob-O?"


Dear: Bob Sanders,
Hi Bob my name is Jeff McGuinness, an avid fan of yours. How’s your right knee doing? I am a concerned colts fan who is wondering on how much longer you plan on being injured? Don’t get upset with me after reading this letter, but where the hell are you? I understand that you currently are living in a forest, running around in a loin cloth and enjoying eating deer and any other wild animals you come across. I know you’re probably doing some charity work like donating blood to the red cross. I just wish it was your blood and not other peoples. The closest we have come to seeing you is by watching the movie Blade starring Wesley Snipes. I swear if Snipes grew his hair out they could be twins. It’s beginning to get cold outside so you can’t stay in the forest all winter no matter how bad ass you are. Everyone knows that in the winter you live at the colts complex and listen to ACDC while you sleep in your coffin. I am worried about you Bob.Please come back and start beheading fools like you have done in the past. I’m afraid if you don’t the colts might make a decision at the end of the season, which involves you no longer being a colt. Your pal, Jeff.
Okay I got all the fun and jokes out of the way, now it is time to get to business. Bob you need to get and stay healthy ASAP. The colts and the colts faithful are beginning to lose interest in you. We are tired of your injuries that keep you out for long periods of time. I’m also tired of the colts organization never really going into detail about their players and the injuries. Financially it does not make sense to keep Bob on the roster past this year if he can not resume playing at a high level and avoid injury. He is making around 6 million dollars a season while his replacement Melvin Bullitt is making less than 500 grand this season. If the colts release Bob at the end of the year they can save some salary cap money down the road and pursue free agents or negotiate new deals for players who have expiring contracts like Antoine Bethea, Gary Brackett, or Marlin Jackson. Some of the colts fair-weather fans who just love the fact that Bob Sandersis a colt will probably be highly upset when the day comes where Polian has to release Bob, but let me tell you that Polian knows what the hell he is doing. Melvin Bullitt is not Bob Sanders, but he does stay healthy and is a pretty good safety, especially for the little money he is being paid. The colts have held the opposing teams leading rusher to under 100 yards every game this season except for the wildcat night in Miami, which implies to me that Bob is not needed as much as he was in the past.
In closing I love the way Bob plays the game. I know he is in the forest swinging from tree to tree beating on his chest, enjoying life, but November 15th is lurking and the colts must punish the patriots and no one punishes opponents like Bob does. Bob can accomplish this mission if we get a brave enough colts fan to go around searching the forests for his whereabouts to hand him this letter I’ve wrote. The city of Indianapolis has a pretty high unemployment rate so I vote we find someone who isn’t working and sacrifice them to execute the mission to inform Bob that we are looking for him. I’m sick and tired of watching Wesley Snipes and the Blade movies. This might be the last year we have to enjoy watching Bob pummel opponents.
