Football - We're talking American gridiron here. This my absolute favorite sport. I grew up in Indiana so naturally I am a Colts fan. Before you start yelling at me for jumping on a bandwagon, let me just say I had to endure the Jeff George years, so shut up. Is it my fault that I happened to become a fan of a sucky team that hired a brilliant GM that turned the franchise around?? It's not my fault, I say!
Also not my fault (or my team's fault) is your team's decision to draft Ryan Leaf, or to give Pacman Jones a chance (or three!), or to keep your sexaul-assaulting, face-planting-into-a Honda idiot of a quarterback while you ditch your Super Bowl-winning wide reciever, or countless other things...
More on all that later! Probably!
Back to my original thoughts: I became a Colts fan through my dad, who took me to my first game back in the mid-90s when our quarterback was good ol' Captain Comeback: Jim Harbaugh. All I really remember was the deafening crowd noise and that we lost and I almost cried. I don't remember how young I was. After several dismal years, the Colts lost the AFC title game to Pittsburgh (swine...), then after several more dismal years our wonderful GM Bill Polian drafted Peyton Manning and soon all was well! For the most part at least.
As fun as it would be, I'm not going to go into a Colts history lesson here, so let's just say during football season, my dad and I live and breathe the NFL and Colts games. Though we are level headed enough to not let it get to us too much when they lose.
Speaking of my dad, he graduated from the University of Georgia and played in their marching band, so another team I inherited from him is the Georgia Bulldogs. Most seasons this is pretty fun, playing in the SEC, the Dawgs get plenty of attention and TV time, even when they're not in champion contention. As long as we beat Tech, all is well. (on a side note, I don't really have an affiliation in college hoops.)
So there's that. Questions, comments? I'll have further discussion/type-cussion on Colts related things such as Indianapolis Colts vs. Baltimore Colts, Colts super bowls, games attended and such.
So keep and eye out all my loyal readers!!!
