Been a Colts fan my entire life... not happy Peyton is gone but given the circumstances with the season and where the team is I agree with the decision to go after the next 10 years with Luck.
I will be a secondary Bronco's fan only because of Manning... I do remember the Elway situation and as bad as it was, from Elway's prospective the owner (the late Irsay) was a meglomaniac and had just pulled the team out of Baltimore in the dead of night (plus the Colts at the time were just horrendous)... I live in Cleveland and the original Browns pull out had a three year advance notice followed by "The Last Season" wind down before they left... The owner at the time (Moddell) is still a villified character in Cleveland... so to have an owner like Irsay leave town with no notice was much worse... I don't agree or condone Elway's actions but just stating what the situation was at the time...
Peyton's contract is 5 years... if he plays that long I will be a Colts fan and root for the Bronco's when they aren't playing Indy. If the two teams meet in the AFC title game, sorry Peyton but I'm a Colt. As soon as Peyton goes so will I from the Broncos bandwagon.
Are The Broncos Your Second Team Now?

Mine too, I had Bert's jersey with my plastic Horseshoe helmet and shoulder pads for sand lot football.... I didn't recall which came first Elway or the move but either way the older Irsay was not very stable... again I don't forgive Elway at all, the draft was the draft and he should have played but I can give him at least some leeway for his viewpoint...
