I was 11 when the colts moved to Indy.  My dad was a bengals fan,  I was a bears fan.  When the colts moved to Indy we both became colts fans.  He bought season tickets and we were all in.   The bears won the superbowl in 85 and the bengals went to the superbowl in 88.

'J'  Was Indy Cincinnatti Bengals fan country back then.? 

My grandparents were from Indy and my grandfather loved the Reds

 

Places like South Bend and Lafayette were Bears fan strongholds when I grew up

Notre Dame was considered a Chicago college team largely because Northwestern and Illinois sucked

I miss the old AFC East days. Would have been crazy to watch us and NE battle all those years with Peyton and Brady battling for the division.

I still do that on Madden 2002 for the Nintendo 64. This was when the Texans weren't on the game yet, and there were 3 divisions in each conference.

13-6....Jimmy C. is still smiling

Lions are still in it

Oh yeah, i remember. He was an absolute monster on the field, and a fantastic leader. 

Great dude too. He & my nephew became friends when my nephew was coaching the Chicago arena team.

I met him at my brother's funeral. He is a good guy.

I cant tell you how happy I was for Indiana to get a team

I have to admit..I didn't care how they got here.....

 

....didnt mind them losing in the early going (I was a Bears fan,. too)

Despite what some 'Gloomy Gus' say here....Its VERY natural for someome  to be a Bears AND a Colts fan because the Colts moved into what was, in part,  Bear country

 

The Bears-Colts Super Bowl was the greatest 2 weeks

2 of my best friends that are basically my age are huge Bears fans and they don't even like the Colts. They live right here in Indy. When the Colts beat them in 2006 They heard from me bigtime!

I don't think I would have wanted to play them twice a year in the regular season all those years.

I'm sure buff and mia fans are like...yeah, no hasn't been fun.

 

But you get my point. That would have been crazy to have the two best in the same division.

Jim Plunkett has two superbowl mvps and isn't in the hall

That's awesome, always great when a football player ends up being a cool person. Sorry about your brother as well.

Detroit still alive..

He's the only QB that has won more than 1 that isn't it. Assuming Peyton, Eli, and Ben do get in which I think they are all locks. 12 QB's have won 2 or more as a starter, poor Jim gets no respect.

My dad was a bengals fan and reds fan.  I was a bears fan and cubs fan.   Maybe I just liked to annoy him.  I dont recall how I became a fan of either

It'll probably end within 7 points, but I don't know if Detroit will truly threaten.

[MTC]

Anquan Boldin ejected?

[oldunclemark]

wow..there's that 2 personal foul rule

 

...Boldin    Just a crippling penalty

[oldunclemark]

wait a minute..I guess it wasnt Boldin

Really crippling. With the seahawks secondary, they can easily handle the Lions WR's now.

Would be a sweet upset to see though.

Yep, however the Lions can't beat the Pats, the Seahawks can. So for selfish reasons, I want the Seahawks to win.

[oldunclemark]

You almost have to fight the Seahawks...

...They just taunt you and agitate....hard to hold back

I love the techmo bowl commercial with Bo and bozworth.   I watched the Monday night game when Bo ran him over

Regarding Baseball it was either Reds or Cubs and I chose the Cubs (Thank God . I have been a Cubs since that 1984 Season when they were Very Good. Same season the Colts moved here, funny how things work out.

Yeah, I was impressed he showed up. He was very nice to my entire family. I think they still talk from time to time.

Such a fun game. There are actually two versions of the game if I remember right. Techmo bowl and Super Techmo Bowl. You can run around, up and down, with Bo Jackson and never get caught. Game is so broken, simplistic, but fun. Madden is awesome today, but not for the casual fan that wants to play, like my dad.

Okay..Boldin got 2 roughness penalties..

..but those are not unsportsmanlike conduct penalties?

 

I thought unnecessary roughness was unsportsmanlike conduct...by definition.

But..clearly......no

I'm confused on the new rule as well. If you gave me a pop quiz, I'd probably guess wrong lol.

Super Tecmo Bowl was really a good game. It had all the teams and you could play full seasons on it. It was pretty realistic as well.

[coltsfansince65]

Hawks about to put the Lions out of their misery right here

Those were the first really good football games.

Seahawks score a TD and the game is over, IMO.

[oldunclemark]

That was well done..they lined up in a closed formation..on 3rd and 1

..and then shifted into a 5-wide formation...and the Lions cant cover it.

 

 

 

very well done

 TD Seahawks.  Too bad for the Lions. 

[snkdy]

The referees always seem to be on Seattle's side in these types of games.

[IinD]

Lions still got a shot..

Lions defense is so bad. Teryl Austin lost his chance for that head coaching gig.

Seattle players know how to get into an opponents head.

[BloodyChamp]

The Lions are getting rectum rinsed with hot sauce. The worst call was actually missed by everybody but the receiver on an earlier play. He caught it and ran over the defender who drug him down on top of him. His knees landed in the defenders stomach and he was never down. He got up to run and the blew the whistle. 

 

Tecmo Bowl will always have 1 thing on Madden - the old NES directional button rash that that game gave the thumb of anybody who ever played anybody of equal or greater skill level.

Very frustrating.

 

It is the same with the Packers and Patriots.

I don't doubt that's true, but the refereeing always seems questionable when they play important games.
