LISTEN UP: On the bandwagon since 1984

There's a lot of emotion tonight, we Colts fans were let down pretty hard.

I've said it now, and I'll say it again - Indianapolis is a better city because of the Colts.

Our downtown is the nicest downtown of any city its size in the US. Places to eat, drink, play, shop, etc. have all shown up since we built the dome and brought the Colts in to town. Does anyone remember what downtown used to look like?

The team, the players, and the league contribute tremendously to our community with charity support and leadership for our youth.

The team has had its ups and downs. Does anybody remember the 1-15 season??? ONE AND FIFTEEN!

This year, 32 teams played in the National football league. 28 of them were already done for the season before kickoff tonight. We made to the AFC Championship game.

Only two games can make it to the Superbowl, and I'm damned proud that we were in the running. Only one team will win the Superbowl this year, or any year. There is no BCS for the NFL.

The other 31 teams will not start talking about kicking their f*cking teams to the curb because they didn't win it all.

I think we all need to be damned happy that we don't risk getting fired everytime we don't execute our jobs to perfection. Unless your a doctor or a soldier, we don't suffer that kind of pressure.

And neither should the Colts - as a football team, or an organization.

As a life-long member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, I actually supported a Democratic mayor this year because of his commitment to the Colts versus his challenger. That's called sacrifice.

There's no way in Hell I'm giving up on this team simply because of one sh1tty night in Foxboro.

Get your chin up guys, and stop the f*cking whining.

GO COLTS!

Nice Post Bart...or should I say Mayor Peterson...But you're more than right, we need the Colts here. It's been a great season and although I am very disapointed we need to get on with life in Indianapolis. And the Colts are a good thing for the City in many, many ways. Let's don't find out too late what they mean to us...

Thank you for saying so well what I was thinking. I wont be hiding my horseshoe. I was a Colts fan for the 1-15 season and this season was WAY more fun than that.

there's nothing wrong with the way the colts went out. they went out fighting, and lost to the better team today. next year they'll make it even farther. thanks to the colts for making this year so much fun!

It should a better place. After all the money tax payers had stolen from them, it should look like Emerald City!!! I would be upset if all that stolen money was taken and downtown was a dump. You supported the socialist I see. Let us know, how much a month are you sending the Colts? I am sure you are writing a $300 a month check to Isray for the new stadium fund right? We gave them a nice home 20 years ago. Their failure to save (spending $2+ mil on some scrolls) is what has brought them to this not having a new stadium. If the city gives them the money for the stadium and not give the cops what they want...the cops should strike. See how many people go to the games when traffic is a mess and you get robbed walking to the game. The cops are asking for enough money to make a nicer living. They are not one person asking for millions when they already have millions. This country is doomed. To much whipping out the VISA (aka: Bond issue) and spending money we don't have. Hopefully the new stadium that will be built will withstand the coming urban riots when the welfare checks start bouncing. Personally, I am looking at homes outside Marion County. Enough state reps and senators have told Petterson to not come asking for state money that I am sure any tax hike will only affect those in Marion County. Get out while you still can.

Hey, don't make this personal. I'm conservative enough to inflict a regime change on your computer.

packnet ,

Best post game post I have seen ...

Most of what I am seeing though does not surprise me ...

Most of the " anti " anything posts I would guess are being put up by the same a$$holes that show up at our games professing to be fans of whoever the COLTS are playing on that particular Sunday ...


GO COLTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
