Wow, that is pretty sad. I know Indiana is basketball country, but come on. A Super Bowl loss, a few injuries this year, a few less wins than last year, and the fan base loses that much interest in their team?
"Playoffs???" 9 out of the last 10 years might have something to do with it...
Obviously, they've gotten spoiled. They've become the Atlanta Braves of the NFL.
Many people have mentioned how 2007 was a wake-up call against complacency, like the Pats making the SB was a guarantee they'd win it. No more. No matter how many times they (hopefully) win, I'll never get jaded and never get spoiled and I'll savor each one. It's hard not to try to get ****y (wow, automatic censor? Never seen that before!) and spoiled, but especially these new Pats are something special, all right. Their future looks as bright as the sun.
I'm pretty surprised by this too. Maybe the sheer smallness of the Indianapolis market has a built-in factor working against it??...I don't know...but I'm admit I'm surprised too. Annoyed, too. Especially since Colts fans love to get on their high horse about how much more "pure" they and their team is compared to the "Cheatriots". :bricks:
