OK, So Now I’m a Colts Fan

I don’t know if they want me rooting for them, seeing as how that was little help against the Bears’ defense today for the Saints. But I gotta admit, I gave up on the Colts today. I even said to Pattie, “You know what ticks me off? I wanted a good game most of all, and it doesn’t even look like I’m gonna get that.” And then, lo and behold, tie game, back-and-forth scores, Peyton Manning leads a last-minute drive to take the lead and Tom Brady throws a game-ending interception.

Man, it’s like I walked into the Twilight Zone.

But a Super Bowl win would take the monkeys off the backs of Manning and Tony Dungy, and they’re two guys that, from everything I know of them, deserve to be seen as winners.

And I gotta admit, I love that Mastercard commercial where Manning cheers on the everyday folks after they goof.
