WEBB: Colts' Super Bowl run would leave Manning fans with awkward decision to make - Evansville Courier & Press
The guy in the parking lot just outside my old apartment at the University of Southern Indiana whipped his white Dodge Ram into a perfect burnout. The tires screeched like birds being beaten with hammers. He was drunk, and clearly didn’t have the truck under control, but he didn’t hit any of the other cars, which were parked in lines at either side of his performance like nervous girls and boys at an eighth-grade formal watching the only pimply kid... In the Southern-Indiana-to-English Dictionary, “Coats” translates to “Indianapolis Colts,” who had just defeated the Chicago Bears 29-17 to win Super Bowl XLI. Celebrations were all over USI that night in February 2007. But the Ram driver topped them all. He did burnouts for several minutes before parking his truck on a curb, stepping out of the door while clutching his beer, and crumbling to the pavement. Just like in the 2006 season, the Colts are loaded again. If Indy finds a solution to a defense that surrendered 45 points to the New England Patriots in last season’s AFC title game, another Super Bowl is possible. Peyton Manning underwent surgery after surgery. The Colts let him go after drafting Luck. He signed with Denver and a lot Indy fans followed him. They donned Bronco/Colt jersey hybrids sewn together with a Frankenstein stitch. Source: www.courierpress.com
