Hey AFC, are you tired of being bullied? Frustrated that no matter what you do, you can’t get by the New England Patriots? Have you been trying for years to wrestle away the AFC South from the Indianapolis Colts with no success? Or do you look at the San Diego Chargers and think they can’t be beat?

Do you wonder, “Will we ever win the division or conference?”

If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, I have good news for you. Now is your time. For all the meddling teams that have been a notch or two below elite status, now you too can be a division winner, a serious playoff contender, or even a Conference Champion! There may not be a better time to become one of the conference’s best.

Do you find what I’m saying interesting? Would you like to be one of those teams? If so, let me ask you how much is it is worth to you.

Would you be willing to spend $15 million on free agents? How about $25 million? Maybe $50 million in signing bonuses and salary to be a legitimate championship contender is your limit.

Well listen to this: You don’t have to spend another dime. That’s right, no money down! A trade just before the deadline could add a valuable contributor, but you don’t need another player. You need to do just one thing:

Win.

I know what you’re thinking. I make it sound so easy. But no team gets anywhere without getting past the elite teams in the AFC.

You’re right, and here’s some good news. The elite teams can be beat! That’s right, the not good enough, incomplete, and even fraudulent teams can now get a step ahead of the teams that dominated the AFC for years. But don’t take my word for it. Read this testimonial:

We’re leading the AFC East! Can you believe it? This hasn’t happened since the days of Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas! And we haven’t even played the Patriots! Thank you, Miami! --Buffalo Bills

How is that possible? Injuries. New England lost quarterback Tom Brady for the year. Linebacker Shawn Merriman opted for season-ending surgery instead of playing through an injury with San Diego. And Indianapolis will be without safety Bob Sanders for up to two months. Add that to the inconsistent play of quarterback Peyton Manning as he recovers from surgery to remove a bursa sack, and the Colts are vulnerable. Same goes for the Chargers and Patriots as they are ripe for the picking.

Using injuries as an opportunity doesn’t sound honorable, but this is sports. No shame in the game. Use the opponents’ injury problems as a natural male confidence enhancer.

Did you see us run for a quadrillion yards? Ha! That Indy defense can’t tackle for crap without Sanders! Heck, Fred Taylor broke 43 tackles on one run. Hopefully, when we play the Colts again, Sanders won’t be back. Now we have to find a way to get past Tennessee. –Jacksonville Jaguars

So how good does a team have to be to fake their way to leading a division? All you need is half a team. That’s right, just half! Just look at some of the division leaders throughout the league. There’s no better example than the Denver Broncos, the top team in the AFC West with one of the league’s worst defenses. If it wasn’t for an offense gone wild and a blown call, Denver would be buried.

Are we lucky or what? We got a second chance against San Diego, and New Orleans missed a field goal! I don’t know how much longer this streak goes on, but while the going’s good, I’m gonna play the lottery! --Denver Broncos

So for all those teams that always came up short, here’s your chance. The path to team success couldn’t be any clearer. There’s no number to call. There are no operators standing by. Just ask yourself: What do you want out of this season? The secret is there is none. So take your high priced free agents and blue chip draft picks and go straight to the top!

Sorry, no money back guarantee.
