Ten reasons to hate the Colts - New England Patriots Forums

Ten reasons to hate the Indianapolis Colts, in no particular order:

(1). These are not really the Colts. The Colts belonged to Baltimore and ceased to exist when their sleazy owner hijacked them in the middle of the night and moved 1,000 miles away. They should've been renamed when they were moved.

(2). GM Bill Polian is a mean-spirited lunatic. He has the audacity to meddle with the game itself and makes a total ass of himself in his maniacal pursuit of victory. If there is a way to change/bend the rules or outright cheat, he'll consider it.

(3). The team's radio play-by-play announcer sounds like Donald Duck on helium.

(4). The Colts play indoors in a domed stadium and have adopted a wimpy flag-football style that brings us to ...

(5). Peyton Manning (a/k/a "Commercial Man"). A homely, snot-nosed, slobbering goober-hick who doesn't hesitate to throw others under the bus when things go wrong. A great player who is impossible to like.

(6). The team's second-rate mentality is responsible for hoisting banners in the RCA Dome touting division titles and appearances in the conference championship game. Total bush league.

(7). Tony Dungy is overrated. People think he is "calm," but he really is a passive-aggressive depressed automaton whose job is done by longtime assistants and his get-a-life quarterback.

(8). Adam Vinatieri. Phony player-without-a-soul with dollar signs where his heart should be.

(9). The city of Indianapolis: Known for nothing -- it has no character or strong regional identity. Not really a sports town, has a bandwagon fan base. Does not deserve a major sports title.

(10). Whining and sulking. From Manning to Polian to the fans themselves, this franchise has turned sour grapes whining into an art-form, both on and off the field.

All the talk about Manning and Vinatieri getting payback....***** that. It's time for the Patriots to deal some payback for that home loss earlier this season. For Marvin Harrison spiking the ball at Ellis Hobbs, for Bill Polian openly wishing injury to Doug Flutie in the press box and whining about the rules when things don't go his way.

It's payback time, and the underdogs are about to dish it. I'm hoping for a blowout Patriots victory.

Good job on the list, I agree on all.

You sound like a very jealous person.

Everything you both said.
They just annoy me on every level;even their uniforms annoy me. I try not to hate them but to me they are just ankle-biters who are trying to ruin a perfectly good game known as football. Everytime any one of them opens their mouths it's like nails on a blackboard to me.There's something fraudulent about them from the top on down. I do hate them.
(BTW my apologies to the good Colts fans here,but I take comfort in knowing your board probably has an identical thread about the Patriots

)

That sums it up perfectly. It's a soulless franchise that happened to hit big on a star quarterback.

Great job and great thread

How in God's name are you going to bad mouth Adam Vinateri? He's getting older, he got one more payday-- if the Colts wanted to offer him that much money, good for him. What he did in this city should never be forgotten. Adam should always have a place in this city.
