Class Comments From Texans Radio On Luck

[King Colt]

Listening to Houston sports radio channel this afternoon the three people behind the mics had nothing but high praise for Luck's character as a man, a competitor and as an ambassador for the NFL. Like Manning before him Luck is obviously viewed as a champion in more important ways than a football player. With all the bad and very bad news coming from this sport it is more than refreshing to know our team has a leader in more categories than just football. Thank you Houston for recognizing a true hero in what matters more than the score (although he does like to score a lot of points).

Well from what I heard about Watson last year and giving to the employees who went through the tragedy and what Watt did...we should be praising their guys. Nice to hear some good for a change.

I went to the Texans/Colts Game in Houston back in November of 2013. It was the game where Case Keenum debuted and put the Texans up huge early, only for Luck and Hilton to come back and tear them to shreds. I will say most of the fans were very classy, and complimentary of Luck.

Well they have never had a decent QB...that looks to change now. So I could see why they would say nice things.

And won a championship there.  My biggest fear was that we couldn't re-sign him, and he'd sign with his Home Team...

The Texans fans that I have met have been great people. Very fond of Indianapolis restaurants and Lucas Oil. Heard from many of them talk in disbelief about how many fans wear jerseys at Lucas Oil.

Texans and Colts both got classy organizations, coaches, and players (mostly). Also their fans aren’t annoying like Jags fans

[Pilgrim]

Yes, sir, it was.

Wait, the jags have fans???

[oldunclemark]

  Maybe teams in our division have more respect for Luck than some 'national people' do

I definitely think Jags fans are way more annoying than Texans fans. Jags fans are like Brewers fans, they have 1 Good year and they act like they have been a dynasty for 10 years. Most Colts fans that I know have the same admiration for JJ Watt that Texans fans do for Luck. Watt is a good man!

Manning brought in lots of Indy band wagoners,  remember?

Glad to see some classy fans from an opposing team in the division. 

 

The same can’t be said for many Titans fans. Trust me I live in Nashville and have to hear the crap coming out of their mouths all the time, especially from local sports radio hosts.

Titans fans may be worse. One thing I hate about that franchise is that they are trying to recreate New England in Tennessee. And it annoys the crap outa me.

I’ve never read or heard any respectable source disrespect Luck.  And I never will.

My experience is different.  I was at Blake Bortles first game (second half replacement for Chad Henne).  The fans were exceptionally nice, even before Blake came in and made the Jags look like they were somewhat NFL caliber.

The beauties in the pool could almost make one miss seeing some plays on the field...  ;-)

I've not met any Titans fans, but from your reports, they could well be the worst fans in the division then.

His dad Oliver was a QB for the Houston Oilers but neither has any bearing on the comments I heard.

I really have no problem with people becoming Colts fans because of Manning. He is a Top 3 QB of all-time IMO and I doubt we will ever see anyone like him again. With me, I just happen to live in Indy so I have been a fan since 1984 when they moved here. I went to games when we had Dickerson and then Harbaugh. Having said that in the Manning years I really followed them even more closely. They were just awesome! Some people became Colts fans because of Luck too. Some people just love Luck. We have been LUCKY to have the franchise we have had while in Indy with some of the players we have had like Dickerson, Hinton, Harbaugh, Peyton, Marvin, Reggie, Freeney, Mathis, Sanders, Saturday, and now Luck and Vinny.

I consider bandwagon fans those who were only here during the Manning era
