Who Will You Root For?

[jvan1973]

If Peytons new team is on the Colts schedule next year, who will you root for?

[Jaric]

I wish him well before the game.

During the game I hope Dwight Freeney lives his dream and finally gets to sack Peyton Manning. Repeatedly if neccesary.

After the game I wish him well.

[Coltswarriors]

Colts fan first.

Peyton Manning fan second.

[MSColtsFan]

Colts. Always.

[GoDeep]

Colts fan first.

Peyton Manning fan second.

This

[AtlantaColtsFan]

Colts first, Manning next.

[Coltsman1788]

It will be "Peyton, thanks for the memories and good to see you buddy before the game". It will be "get him Freeney" and "this is why I miss that guy" during the game. And it will be all love after the game and beyond. Go Colts!

[Mitch]

Colts...no question about it. I'm ready for the grieving to be over and the future to begin.

[Tark The Shark]

Colts then Manning

[Phil J]

Colts, always

[GoDeep]

then :manning:

[UndecidedFrog]

No question about it, Colts.

[Peyton and Eli fan]

Manning, but as I've said several times, I'm a Giants fan, not a Colts fan. I just love Peyton. I don't wish ill on the colts, but I would root for Peyton's team for sure.

[Andy]

The Colts...always, but I will be cheering for Peyton too. The Colts will always be by far my favourite team!

[KeyserSoza]

Judging by the votes it looks like there are a lot of badwagon fans. Pathetic. While I am very ticked about Peyton, I will ALWAYS be a Colts fan

[Phil J]

bandwagon fans too chickens****** to post about it. this should be a public poll.

although, hanging around here as much as I have over the last week, I know exactly who those 14 people are.

Ok, you two. I'd say thats about enough name calling. you want it, you got it. then hey it even rhymes a little.

[coltsgoodin]

Although Peyton visited my son in the hospital in 2005 the Colts will always be #1 and Peyton will be 2nd. Thank You Peyton Manning for all the wonderful memories in so many ways!

[luvdacolts67]

I dont agree with the premise of it being one or the other. If they were playing against each other in the SB, maybe

[Portage Coltfans]

what will be interesting if you people will still be rooting for the colts after 14 seasons of losing. Just like in the bible 7 years of plenty, 7 years of famine.

14 years of winning: 14 years of losing again...

i'm not saying we will actually be losing for 14 years, but I bet some of you won't be die hard colt/irsay fans if we don't start winning in 4-5 years.

Lol some of us have already lived through the years of famine before Peyton even got here. We know how to get through rough stretches.

here since the harbaugh days. not going anywhere.

I agree, Portage Coltsfan obviously wasn't a fan during the lean years with the likes of Pagel and Hoggeboom!! I learned to live on moldy bread crust for 15 years. That oughta just about get me through the drought he predicted LOL! GO COLTS!

[Jaric]

I wonder if the numbers would be less even a few weeks from now once it kinda sinks in and more and more people stop "grieving."

[UndecidedFrog]

IMO, no, I think it will still be raw for about 2 months until the draft.

[Susie Q]

I for one think it was really too soon to put up a poll like this and maybe OP need time to come to grips with this. JMO of course.

LOL Mike Pagel and Gary Hogeboom. Yeah things were so lean, I remember actually being excited when Gary Hogeboom became our quarterback. We have definitely come a long way as a franchise.

[Jaric]

Probably right. Some people are definitely going to need some time.

[Colts420]

Ill be rooting for the colts during the game and hoping our defense eats him alive

[Colts20593]

How about both?

[hawkeyes]

Thread needs at least a few more options ....

Colts

Manning

Both

Neither

[colts89]

The amount of bandwagoners just hurts. No matter how good he was, even if he lead to all the victories by himself the COLTS come first and if you are not of that opinion , come speak your mind as to why you are still a colts fan... if you are one. being hurt and betrayal for your team are two things on the different side of the spectrum

[18Manning]

I have said in previous posts, I don't think we'll be in contention for a couple/few years. Assuming that, I will root for Peyton as I would like to see him put up more record numbers/wins. By the time the new Colts are in contention, Peyton will probably be a year or so from retiring.

Said another way, if the Colts aren't so good for a while, I would rather Peyton get the benefit of a win instead of the Colts as it wouldn't do much good for the Colts.

Honestly, I'm not sure how I would feel if the new Colts were a good team right out of the gate.

[dudeman]

Terrible poll is terrible.

I will root for both.

[BProland85]

Colts fan first, Individual Player fan second. Even if its Peyton. Thats the way it should be for true loyal Colts fans.

[geinsteder]

I'm a Manning fan. I just dont like how this all ended to support this organization anymore to be a Colts fan. How does one guy put your city on the map for football and have probably the most successful Super Bowl week and go out like this? It's one thing to retire its another to be shafted. You all are kidding yourself if you think Manning would put his helmet back on if he wasnt sure he could play.

He has won game after game for this team, city and fans... Let him leave this team when he is ready and ride out of your fair city with hero's farewell..What a sad day it's been. It should not have been this way. He deserved more.

Well we are on a Colts board so adding neither really never crossed my mind. Also rooting for both never crossed my mind. I have never watched a game and rooted for both teams.

Cool. At least you admitted what the other people who voted the same couldn't say. If you do leave, hope you like your new team..

I didn't realize there were rules fans are supposed to follow...

I agree, the way it went down sucks. ButI will still root for the Colts if they ever play against him.
