Why we should be routing for the Colt's
 
I will be rooting for the Colt's at the Super Bowl and here is why. First and foremost, I still hate the Bears for SB20. Not that we lost, but the whole Super Bowl Shuffle, disrespecting their opponents, and putting the Fridge in to score instead of Walter Peyton. I can't stand Ditka, as a coach or an announcer.

This is Manning's chance to win the SB. If he can get this last monkey off his back and win, I think that it will be such a burden off him and a releif that I don't think he will have the desire as much. If the Colts win they will be one and done, just like the Steelers, Buccaneers and Ravens. I'm tired of dealing the the Colts in the post season so, let them win it and the fade away. Then Manning will live off that one SB victory for the rest of his career, just like Brett Favre ( another one and done champion. I also admire Manning for putting the record straight and calling the Patriots "classy" after we took a week of crap from the Chargers.

That's one thing unique about Brady. Since he won it early in his career, he got a taste and desire for it that will never go away. I already can't wait for next year

I don't see how a Pats fan can root for the Colts. They just ripped our hearts out and we start throwing bouquets at them. I hope the Bears stomp them into the Miami turf until the Colts' drool all over themselves and Polian does a swan dive from the press box.

Well, first and foremost, I am a football fan. There should be mutual respect between us and the Colts. The players feel that way. I am over this loss and ready to move on. However, I don't see how any Patriot fan could possibly root for the Bears. They gave us the most embarrassing loss in our history and totally disrespected us before, during and after the game. Maybe I have a longer memory than most people, but I am shocked that there are Patriot fans rooting for the Bears

Exactly. I hope the Colts suffer a collapse of epic proportions.

It's interesting that I've noticed the Pats fans who now want to root for Manning or the Colts all heard the same speech by Manning where he called some Pats 'classy'. I think that short speech by Manning has been clouding a lot of their judgement!!

I'm not rooting for the Colts. Because :

- I hate them.
- I hate them.
- If the Bears win at least I can think "maybe they would have beaten us".
- I hate them.

I'd root for the Colts if I was related to NaPolianning,but I'm not so for the first time since I can remember,I will root for the NFC. An NFC win is good for football,and a Colts loss is even better.
There is no way I would want to see a franchise like the Colts succeed.They are the antichrist of football. As lowly as Rex may be on the QB scale,at least that team plays the game.
A Colts win will have strange consequences down the road,and if they begin to dominate? :nono:

I think you are missing the point I was trying to make. I have no love of the Colts either, but I hate Chicago more. After we see two weeks of highlights from the 85 Bears we all will sick of it.

But I say let Manning win one and then, I believe the Colts will fade away to mediocrate, just like the Steelers, Ravens, and Buccaneers. With extra draft picks I see the Pats reloading and being a top contender again.
