Go Colts!

The Indianapolis Colts are the World Champions!

How sweet it is! I honestly believe that it could not have happened to a classier organization or a better guy than Peyton Manning.

As I saw him hoist that trophy up into the air tonight I started to remember the first time I ever saw him play. It was his first game as a Colt in 1998. I was fourteen years old and I am ashamed to say that I was one of the few people in the crowd not yelling for him.

I was wearing my Dan Marino jersey and rooting for the Miami Dolphins. Shame on me! Marino has since retired and as I have said numerous times to many of my out-of-state friends, "It is impossible to live in the state of Indiana and not be a fan of the Colts and Peyton Manning."

Even now, I am still having trouble coming down to earth. I highly doubt that I will sleep tonight. I also do not think that much work will get done in Indiana for the next few weeks.

Words cannot even describe how great it is to see our Colts win the big game although I think my bill from the NFL Shop certainly will cause me to use some choice adjectives in the coming days.

Congratulations go out to the boys in blue. Go Colts!
