Became a Colts fan at 14 in 1964 watching Unitas, Moore, Berry and Orr, and company beat the Bears 52-0 and beat their nemesis, the Packers in 2 close games. They compiled a 12-2 record winning their division after a 5 yr drought. Shed a few tears when Browns shut them out for the title. Was upset at their playoff loss to the Packers in 65 on that infamous field goal. Was unfathomable in 67 how they were shut out of the playoffs with only 1 loss. She’d couple of more tears. Then the great season in 68 and without Unitas. She’d more tears after that final game of the year. Then winning what some called a terrible game in Super Bowl V which I call a great defensive game. No tears this time!!! Then enjoyed watching Bert , Lydell and all the those guys play. Admit I was very upset for long time after theyslinked out of Baltimore under the the cover of darkness, but eventually came around. Have never and don’t anticipate being able to ever come attend and watch in person, but do watch every game from afar in North Carolina. Enjoyed the Peyton yrs and the healthy Luck yrs. Sad but can’t fault his decision to retire as I know what chronic pain from serious injury is like. Still love the classic, classy uniforms and hope they never change. Even the home state Panthers, 45 miles away are second fiddle to the Colts in my life.
GO COLTS!!! But make it quick, please. Don’t know how much longer I can hang around at this age.
