    OK So for those of you , like me, who live vicariously through other fans who go to games .. I am giving this report of my day at the Colts versus Niners!
    When we arrived at the stadium I was so glad to see the weather was perfect! Being in the Bay Area you never know. You can drive 10 miles one way and go up or down 10-15 degrees! The stadium parking lot was full by 10 am of people tail gaiting , I have to say I was shocked to see that being the game was hours away.
    After we parked ( and remember I went with decked out niner fans) there were a few people who saw me and my husband get out of the car say " OH heck NO".. but they soon came over and said hi. Again I was surprised.
    The theme from most fans I kept hearing after they taunted in fun was " I really like Andrew Luck! I have never hated the Colts.." Believe it or Not Raider fans said similiar.
    It was quite a hike to get to the stadium then our seats but we had some pretty good seats. Jerry Rice was out running the field showing off all his talent lol
    Another surprise for me, that stadium is LOUD! All you blue people in Indy, you need to step it up! I can't even imagine how loud the Seahawks is if they are the loudest in the league... Candlestick is LOUDDDD!
    Most fans around us were nice and * chatted it up with my " Chatty Kathy" hubby... toward the end when the Colts were whooping on em you could hear fights in the stands behind us but didn't seem like it got physical.. while leaving most people were humble but again you had a few drunks trying to taunt Colts fans and all of us quickly got on board to stop it ( only to find out the Colt fan being harassed is LAPD LOL) ....
    The guys were cool running back to the locker room stopping to say hi to the blue sea of fans waiting for a glimpse.. they got us pumped up and chanting " GO COLTS GO COLTS"" Overton ran up to the stands and shook hands and thanked everyone!
    The best part of this day is knowing that I have a lot of co workers who have to face me tomorrow and eat CROW!! I have been harassed about this game so much all while I sat n smiled maintaining my " Any given Sunday" attitude. The funniest part is my friend who drove told me early in the morning she said " I bought this hilarious card for you , I was cracking up! BUT you can't have it til after the game , until after yall lose"... SO guess who has a card for a souvenir.. she never gave it to me! LOL I kept telling her " Don't talk smack til after the game!" lol
    After the game we went to the visitors exit gate and met several players. Trent, Vini, Heyward, Luck ( from a distance) Mathis and many others were hanging out .. Matt Overton came out and when he realized I was someone from FB who helped his charity out in Cali he gave me a huge hug and thanked me for my help!! THAT made my day !
    We got to talk to a few of the players and met Oliver Luck and Constanzo's family. They were so nice!
    I think I floated back to the car and the smile on my face has not left since the final score was posted

    One would think after watching the Colts battle to beat the Packers I would want to talk about that. But is isn't the reason I wanted to blog today.
    I am sitting here watching and listening to all my sports talk like I do everday during football season, and I am appalled by a story I am hearing. The story of the home fans cheering Matt Cassel being knocked out. I wish I had a platform to let athletes know that I am NOT one of those fans.
    When I watch football it is because I truly love the sport. I love the strategy behind the plays, the athletic ability of some of these men to make a play when you thought the human body couldn't possibly bend that way!
    Never in all my life have I watched this sport hoping someone would be hit big. From what these announcers are saying that is why fans watch.
    Please Mike n Mike never ever put me in that category. I do not like the Patriots one bit. I have a party every year tittled " Hatriot Party" where my friends and I from all different fan bases get together to just simply hate on the Patriots. Not once have I wished Brady would be knocked out. Sure if he couldnt play anymore I wouldn't be sad, but I don't wish a life , career ending injury on any player. If you are one of those fans you need to check yourself.
    These men on the field do choose to get themselves into a really high contact sport. One that can lesson your life span and cause life long diabilities I get that. BUT they are humans. They are husbands, sons, uncles, nephews, fathers.... Men that do something for us to enjoy while risking injury to do it. Sure sure they get paid well I understand that but where is the line?
    This makes me think of the time I went to see the Colts play the Raiders. 12/26/2010.. there was one Raider fan in front of us ( we were 2 rows on te 50 visitor side) and Austin Collie was sitting on the bench in hearing distance ( IN fact he heard me yelling his name smiled and waived ahhhh ) but this guy yelled " Hey Austin I hope you get hit so hard that your paralyzed or die"... I couldn't believe it. Me being me couldnt keep my mouth quiet and I said a few choice things to him. To my suprise the Raider fans around me rallied on my behalf and started yelling at the guy saying " not cool man not cool"...
    This man ( I use the term lightly) did turn red and was quiet the rest of the game...
    I just hope that athletes know those are the minority of fans and not the majority, or at least I hope it is. Please know I am not that person. I just truly love the sport. But I have been athletic all my life so maybe that helps me to see things differently. If you are this kind of fan... rethink your thoughts....
