COLTS vs. PATRIOTS

Post by **cwallace** » Mon Jan 15, 2007 8:37 pm

I was in a place today...no name to be mentioned (Sports Spot)...and as I was standing there waiting for the owner to come out so I could talk business there is a kid and his dad there going through some cards...Now don't get me wrong this is nothing bad about sport spot...we are doing business with them and I am all about his shop...BUT...a customer is there going through boxes of cards and the kid...no more than MAYBE 10 years old just out of the blue makes a comment...'I hope the colts loose'...the dad responds with 'Yip...let's hope the patriots can pull it off'...all proud...I wasn't wearing or sporting anything Colts to warrant any blatant attack on myself or anything so this wasn't directed at me...BUT...the point is...where is the local loyalty? I mean we are CONSTANTLY being stepped on by outside teams...this is OUR territory...you are in OUR house...

Granted we have only had the Colts for about 20 years, but when will all the other team fans just die out? Do we have to win the big one for it?

I used to live with a guy who was a HUGE Patriots fan...big fan and BIG too...lol...anyway...If let's say HE was standing in the SAME shop IN Boston...you know what would happen? The owner would ome out and ask them to leave...would make an argument for the Patriots...then ANY fan that was standing in that store and overheard that would follow them outside and proceed to beat them down...

You just don't do that...When in Boston..you are a BOSTON FAN...I can respect that even. When I travel...I don't go touting my team all over them...unless I am there FOR THE GAME as a traveling fan...maybe a little ribbing with relative when I head up to Detroit (the Lions ya know), but I don't blatantly stand in their HOUSE and knock their team...you moved here...your fault...shut your trap...

We couldn't get away with saying 'I hope the Colts win' if I was standing in a Boston sports shop...we shouldn't allow it here...

We need to stand up for what is LOCAL...once and for all...

Go Colts...and don't frickin' choke...or I might change my mind...lol.

Go PATS!!!!!!

ducks

I'm a Lions fan; always have been, always will be, but for the last few years I've been rooting for the Patriots, mainly because of Tom Brady, who was the QB for my beloved Michigan Wolverines prior to becoming a New England Patriot. Plus, he's the classic underdog story. He is Rudy! 6th round draft pick, kept on the roster as a 4th string QB his rookie year, because Charlie Weiss saw potential, by his 3rd year, he's worked hard and become the backup to Drew Bledsoe, becomes the starter when Drew goes down... The rest, as they say, is history.

This is common, as is Chris' story about the 10 year old. Ever since that kid was, I don't know, 3 or so, the Patriots have been doing well. Of course he's a "fan". Same with everyone else that jumped on the Patriots wagon. It's easy to root for the winning team. Ever notice how many Cubs fans come out of the woodwork when they do well (I know. Not very often). Same thing. I grew up all Chicago teams-Bulls, Bears, Cubs. In college I couldn't get Bears games, only Colts. My loyalties to my Bears eventually changed since I could never see them anymore. If it ends up being Bears, Colts...GO COLTS!

I'm not a bandwagon jumper. I have always hated the cowboys, I hated the 49ers, Redskins, Bears, etc... when they were the top teams. There's just something about the way the Patriots play that appeals to me. They're an old school, throwback kind of team. No prima donnas, just hard-nosed, disciplined football the "way it's supposed to be played." Plus they've got Brady. The anti-Manning.

Have you seen some of the women that have been on Brady's arm? As opposed to Peyton "My vagina hurts" Manning, who I've never seen with a woman, other than his mom and his brother.

A guy from Indiana dies and is sent to Hell. He had been a horrible man
his entire life.

The devil puts him to work breaking up rocks with a sledge hammer. To make
it worse, he cranks up the temperature and the humidity.

After a couple of days, the devil checks in on his victim to see i f he is
suffering adequately. The devil is aghast as the Hoosier is happily
swinging his hammer and whistling a happy tune.

The devil walks up to him and says, "I don't understand this. I've turned
the heat way up, it's humid, you're crushing rocks; why are you so happy?"

The man, with a big smile, looks at the devil and replies, "This is great!
It reminds me of August in Indiana. Hot, humid, a good place to work. It
reminds me of home. This is fantastic!"

The devil, extremely perplexed, walks away to ponder the man's remarks.
Then he decides to drop the temperature, send down a driving rain and
torrential wind.

Soon, Hell is a wet, muddy mess.

Walking in mud up to his knees with dust blowing into his eyes, the man is
happily slogging through the mud pushing a wheelbarrow full of crushed
rocks.

Again, the devil asks how he can be happy in such conditions.

The man replies, "This is great! Just like April in Indiana. It reminds me
of working out in the yard with spring planting!"

The devil is now completely baffled but more determined to make him
suffer. He makes the temperature plummet.

Suddenly Hell is blanketed in snow and ice. Confident that this will
surely make him unhappy, the devil checks in on him.

He is again aghast at what he sees. The man is dancing, singing, and
twirling his sledgehammer as he cavorts in glee.

"How can you be so happy? Don't you know its 40 below zero!?" screams the
devil.

Jumping u p and down, he throws a snowball at the devil and yells, "Hell's
frozen over! This means the Colts won the Super Bowl!"

The Colts (Peyton) not winning may be a perennial joke...but it's nothing compared to the joke of a franchise up there in Detroit, Jonesy. I hear you guys could use a 4th receiver...the draft isn't too far off.

OUCH! I just hope the Raiders take Calvin Johnson

Doubtful. If they keep the pick, they'd be smart (but not too smart, because it's painfully obvious that they need one) to draft a QB.
