GO COLTS!

It is funny...around my house, I am known as the guy with very few loyalties when it comes to sports. Whoever wins the championships in each category is usually my favorite team, at least for a day. But, I really only have 4...the Arkansas Razorbacks, the Texas A&M Aggies, the San Antonio Spurs...and the Indianapolis Colts.

I used to be a Dallas Cowboys fan, but that was back in the glory days of Tom Landry, Roger Staubach, Tony Dorsett...although it was tough at first, I soon grew to love Jimmy Johnson, Troy Aikman & Emmit Smith. Now, those were the days! But after Jimmy left, I hung on as long as I could until I just couldn't stomach anymore lack of class. After all, I am a child of the Tom Landry era and of the ilk that free agency has ruined the NFL.

For years I bounced back and forth, like a football fan tossed in the stands like the proverbial beach ball. I even did a stint as a Green Bay Packers fan...and that lasted until the Mark Chmura debacle. I had no where to turn on Sundays from noon until 6, or on Mondays when ABC had MNF.

And then, Tony Dungy went to the Colts. Tony is a fantastic believer, a humble man cut from the same cloth as Tom Landry. Not alot of flash or trash...just simple enough for me to be able to jump on the bandwagon. I knew of Tony when he was with Tampa Bay, and have even had kids stay at his home when I took a group of kids to Florida on a Choir Tour. Now, in Indianapolis, he has made a fan out of me once again.

Now lest you say, "well, wait until they lose", I have been a Colts fan consistently since 2002. I haven't jumped ship, even when they had some heartbreaking losses this year. I feel towards them the same as I feel towards my other teams. And for me to finally find an NFL team that causes me to get as excited as the Razorbacks, the Aggies, and the Spurs, that's a big deal.

And now, Super Bowl.

Yea Peyton. You did it bro!

Yea Tony. Your character has paid off.

Yea me! I finally have a team in the Super Bowl!

Once again, I am a believer!
