I Don't Get It

I just don't. I don't understand all the vitriol and hatred towards the Colts, and Peyton Manning in particular. What have they, and he, ever done to deserve getting bashed? No, seriously, what have they done? This is their first time going to the Super Bowl since they were the Baltimore Colts and Johnny Unitas was handling QB duties. Peyton Manning's future Hall of Fame status, and really, his entire career is in question because he's never won the big game (despite Dan Marino being in the Hall of Fame and never having won the big one, either). And yet it seems like folks are lining up to bash Manning and the rest of the Colts.

This question may seem odd, since I have a lot of animosity towards Brady and the Patriots, as well as other teams like the 49ers, and the Cowboys, to name a few. But I have a good reason: they've all won the big game. Multiple times. They get slurped by the national media constantly, and years after the fact, even if their current status is sitting at home (which they all are right now). It's only natural to dislike the big winners. The ones that are always in the spotlight, the ones that always get all the attention and accolades.

But where are the Colts? They haven't been in the spotlight, they haven't gotten the accolades. They don't get any fucking respect. Sure, Manning's been the NFL MVP twice, and holds numerous passing records (including shattering the aforementioned Marino's TD passing record), and is the highest rated active QB, and second all-time only to Steve Young. Sure, the Colts have had 5 consecutive seasons with at least 10 victories, and won 9 games in a row to start the last two seasons. But they've never won the big game. If they get any attention at all, it's because the media is casting doubt on their defense, or highlighting Peyton's mistakes, or talking about their postseason failures, or wondering about their seeming roadblock when it comes to the Patriots (which is no more, haha!).

So why all the anger? Is it just Patriot fans being sore losers? Is it just that they can't handle the fact that they got beat by the better team? They can't come up with enough excuses to justify their favorite team's poor performance (like that they had the flu, or the refs made some bad calls, or that their players were hurt or got hurt during the game, or Tom Brady made a bad throw because he was too busy getting his cock sucked by the sportscasters), so they have to bash the other team? Well, you know what I say to all that.

Fuck you, Patriot fans. Fuck you all in your stupid asses. Enjoy watching the Super Bowl in two weeks, because Peyton Manning and the rest of the Colts are finally going to justify your anger. Enjoy all of it, and make sure you take notes. Because the Patriots and your beloved Brady are never going to get another shot at that ring. Not as long as Peyton Manning is taking snaps in Indianapolis. Suck on that, bitches.
