Agreed, I like Luck and Pagano, Irsay is still annoying of course but back in the day when it was self righteous Tony Dungheap, Polian, the Forehead and Irsay they were unbearable.....
I dislike the franchise because of the way they threw away a season in the suck for luck campaign.
No QB in league history has taken a 2-14 team and made it an 11-5 playoff team...which means either Mr. Luck is the greatest ever or that maybe a 9-7 type Colts team just tried its best to suck as badly as it could.
For this franchise to draft Manning AND Luck would be like...
The same NBA team drafting Tim Duncan and then Lebron
The same NHL team drafting Mario Lemieux and then Sidney Crosby (woops)
...but you know what I mean.

But wait, there's more.
Their owner was recently caught with enough drugs to supply a decent sized elementary school for a week, and we don't even hear a peep about it.
Their former GM is responsible for the disaster that is the PI call in the NFL.
The same nitwit (Polian) assaulted a Jets worker and wished for someone to break a Pats player's leg.
The Luck family and Manning family are pretty tight and were clearly behind the QB switcheroo.
There's plenty of things about Indy to dislike.
I understand that the guy had the right to move his team, but I don't think he should have taken everything else with him, and that includes the name and all of the history. Johnny Unitas, one of my all-time favorite QBs, played for the Baltimore Colts and I will never associate his name with Indy. There's a reason why when Unitas owned a bar he had a nameplate put above the crapper called The Irsay Room.
In honor of Johnny U, and all of those other great Colts of the past, I have only used the term Colts for the team from Baltimore. The team we are facing Sunday has always been just plain Indy to me. It has been that way since the day that Irsay sneaked them out of Baltimore in the middle of the night.
