  1. Reggie is a Colt for life.

     

    I would question my continuing support of the Colts organization if he was released and I mean that. I don't remember another player in this franchise's history--not Peyton, Marvin, Dwight, Edge, Bob, etc.--that is more beloved and respected than 87. Releasing the other aforementioned players "made sense", for lack of a better term. Whether it was a financial or performance-related decision, it had to be done and we as fans accepted it. There is no scenario within any rational reason in which I could accept Reggie moving on.

     

    I just can't come up with a conclusion that would ever make releasing Reggie a sensible act--I don't care if the guy can no longer run faster than McGlynn or catch better than DHB--he retires a career Colt. Anyone else that was at the Denver game will remember when he went down and what the crowd did next: a collective, booming "REGGIE, REGGIE" roar. I was standing directly in front of his mom and dad and the look on their faces was magical. On that note, his parents are awesome and are genuinely kind people. This may sound sappy and lame but that was the most emotional moment I've ever experienced as a Colts fan--above the Marlin interception, above being at the KC game (same seats, BTW). Reggie transcends the standard business decisions made in the NFL. 

     

    Reggie retires as a Colt. End of story. 

  2. I was there. Nobody booed the Colts and I didn't leave my seat once. 

     

    If you want to talk about bad fans, let's talk Cincy. They were only down 10 and the fans were on their butts not making a sound. Colts fans were up and screaming from the Rogers catch until the last second.
