The Colts had 5 or 6 shit years between 1984 and 1993, but they had nothing to do with their eventual landing of Manning.

Haha! Five or six shit years before Peyton Manning? Good lord! That's your Baltimore talking. Try eleven shit years to start. The Colts were awful! They were a national laughing stock. I grew up with it. My family were Bears fans because the Colts were a joke. Non competitive. Then, when I was in the Navy, they had the Harbaugh year. I was still a Bears fan and took some heat from the guys who knew I was from Indy. I remember "no trim til the Colts win" and people's dad's walking around looking like Grisley Adams. "Lord help our Colts" was a weekly staple. I remember one year when Subway offered a promotion on the last game of the season, that if the Colts beat the Jets, you can get a 6 inch sub for the price of the point difference. The Colts won by a field goal, and by the time I got to the Subway, they were out of bread. Three cent subs sell out fast. And after that, at least half of the damn fans wanted to draft Ryan Leaf.
I know you're old as hell and I have nothing against you or anything, but that post was asinine. Absolutely clueless about Colts life in Indianapolis before Peyton Manning.
Five or six shit years...jeezus
