Living in Scotland, we never got much NFL on the TV in the mid 80’s, apart from a one hour highlight show, aired a week after the games. The only live game was the SB, my first being the Bears in 1985/86. That was some team, and J became a kind of passive Chicago fan for a while. Mad McMahon, Dent, Singleterry, and of course, Walter Payton. He was majestic. Then I drifted away from the game until 2004, and my father called me. He had placed a bet on a team to win the Super Bowl, and they had a great QB. Guess who!!
By then, we were getting live games now in the UK, and I just started following the Colts, and my passion just grew and grew. The night we beat the Patriots in the AFCCG has been one of my best sporting memories ever. But the day that the coward Polian pulled the starters and quit on a perfect season almost made me chuck the Colts. It was disgraceful.
Seen the Colts live twice. In the LOS vs the Seahawks in 2013 and the disastrous loss to the Jags at Wembley a few years ago. I did meet and have a quick chat with Dallas Clark before the game though, what a lovely man. My long weekend in Indy in 2013 was magical, and the townsfolk were fantastic. Nice pubs too!!!
Been a member of this forum since about 2005, and loads of familiar faces still around since those days, which is great. And that includes a few Pats fans!!!!
Well, you did ask. Hope everyone is well.
