So this is my dilemma. The Colts have been my team since before Peyton Manning was leading Tenessee's marching band after a big win. All of my brothers, myself, and my mom were born in Louisville, Kentucky. The closest NFL team to Louisville is the Colts. (By the way, it's not pronounced lou-ee-ville or lewis-ville!! Everyone that's from Kentucky knows it's pronounced luh-vul.) Anyway, so my team has been Indianapolis for a long time.
The thing is I'm a Texan! I love Texas and I don't want to leave Texas. I love the Longhorns, the Mavericks, the Texas Rangers...I love Texas. I don't, however, like the Cowboys. I never have and never will. When the Oilers went to Tennessee the Cowboys were the only team we had here...which sucked. I didn't like the Houston Oilers. Didn't really like the players and what the heck is an oiler anyway!!??
In 2002 Houston got a team again. The Houston TEXANS!!! Not only are they called the Texans, they're also are Red White and Blue!! It's almost my patriotic duty to be a fan!! Texas now has 2 teams. Texans = greater than Cowboys!! My new favorite team was born!! They're the only NFL team that has yet to even reach the playoffs!! I'm not a fair-weather-fan. There hasn't been any fair weather for the Texans. I'm still upset about losing Carr but Schaub is proving to be a great quarterback! My Colts won the Superbowl a few years back and they are again undefeated almost half way through the season. They continue to be one of the top 3-5 teams in the NFL. Here I am finally making my point. The Colts play the Texans tomorrow and I am stuck in the middle of it!
Do I root for the Colts to remain undefeated and cruise to yet another playoff berth? Or do I pull for my heart, the Texans who are 5-3? They are peaking with Schaub, have a dominating defense with Mario Williams, and the best WR in the NFL, Andre Johnson! The Colts have the best QB that has ever played the game, a hall of famer WR in Wayne, one of the most sure handed TE in the game in Clark, and a defense that is anquored by Freney, Sanders, and Mathis. WHAT DO I DO!!!?? This is a nightmare. It's almost like if Notre Dame played Oklahoma!! I can't stand either team and I wish nothing but horrible seasons for both. I could only hope that they tie which I know good and well they can't!! AHHH!
You know what, the Colts will be fine. They'll make the playoffs again. Yeah they've lost Sanders for the season and Alexander is out for a couple weeks but that doesn't matter. I'm a full fledged Houston Texan!! GO TEXANS!!!! Playoffs baby!!
On a side note.....GO PHILADELPHIA!!!
