10 ways to know youre a Colts fan

[SOMDColtsfan]

How about knowing your an "older Colts fan"?

 1. A Colts QB wearing  #7 was a very, very good thing (Bert Jones > Painter) 

 2. You know how to spell C-O-L-T-S with your 2 arms like the dudes on a an aircraft carrier deck

 3. Still believing Colts vs Redskins is a great rivalry

 4. After traveling nearly 700 miles to visit relatives near Indianapolis, going to Walmart and seeing "Speed Blue" stuff everywhere makes a grown man feel like a 7 year old   kid. Happens everytime! Go Colts

When you live in Oregon, ask a local bar to open up early for you in April on a Saturday for 20 straight years, so you can bring in your magazines and lists, and order bacon and eggs and wait for, "Welcome to the **** NFL draft.  (now sadly, its spread over 3 days).

 

I did this by myself every year and I only missed 3.

I don't get 1 or 8

 

McAffer is great I imagine, # 8 and dressing crazy for games  , well unfortunately I cant go to any games,

The RCA [Dome] was more than just Radio Corporation of America. It's the hallowed place where the Indianapolis Colts played home NFL games from 1984-2007...

 

We have had our share of great QBs lead the Colts at QB: Johnny Unitas, Peyton Manning, & now promising franchise starter Andrew Luck...

 

We also have an eye for acquiring quality safeties: The "human missile" Bob Sanders, Antoine Bethea, & now LaRon Landry...

You forgot Bert Jones!

Bob Lamey yelling he fumbled the fricking ball then Jeff Saturday recovering the fumble in the endzone!!     :disco:

[Franklin County]

When you defend your team from school kids and trolls on your Colts message board.

 

 

When you check the message board more than 5 times a day to see if we got a new player.

 

 

When you try to decript Jim Irsays tweets to find out who we may be signing. 

[GoDeep]

You "kinda" know what a bursa sack is.

[21isSuperman]

Getting through the airport with that attire at away games must be a real joy...Ha! Ha! I wouldn't wear that outfit at an Oakland Raiders game in the Black Hole though just for safety reasons...I didn't know Skeletor was a Raiders fan...Makes sense I suppose. 

 

It's like the Raiders are the dark side and we are the good side

Every week for me. Except it's not apple juice I'm drinking.

WR Hank Baskett's inability at the SB to catch an onside kick in 2009 that hit his gloved hands still royally ticks you off even today...

 

AMEN!

Or him getting tackled by Ben roethlisberger.

You wept bitterly after Colts vs. Saints. I'm not afraid to say I did. This is the first year back that I've really been into Colts football since that heartbreaking season.

[shakedownstreet]

if beating the broncos 55-23 on monday night football made you feel like you just won the superbowl

[SOMDColtsfan]

You immediately jump in your truck which is covered with Colts "stuff" right AFTER losing the Super Bowl to the Saints and head into town to buy something stronger than beer..."town" is predominately Ravens country - horn don't work watch for finger!
