Colts Thump Saints In Season Opener!

I'm an Indiana native, have lived here all my life, so needless to say I'm a big Colts fan. It was very satisfying to see them win the Super Bowl last year, the first real professional sports championship Indiana has ever seen. I don't care about or even count the ABA titles the Pacers won years ago and I sure as heck don't include the Baltimore Colts' Super Bowl 5 title. I don't include the Baltimore Colts history with the Indianapolis Colts' history at all, consider them to be two totally different teams. Just like Johnny Unitas disavowed the Ravens, I disavow the entire Colts Baltimore history. I understand why the Irsay family wanted to continue the Colts tradition but to an Indiana fan, who really cares what they did in Baltimore? I wish the Colts would have done like the Houston Oilers did when they moved to Tennessee, just changed the entire franchise name and begin an entirely new INDIANA FOOTBALL HISTORY. Do you know why? Because I don't care about Baltimore, that's why! Hahahahahahaa! It's been over 20 years now since the move and I've finally accepted that they are the "Colts" but I just want to forget about all that stuff in Baltimore.

It was nice seeing the Colts lower the Championship banner and even nicer to watch them give the Saints a good butt-pounding, putting the rest of the NFL on notice that the Colts fully intend to win it all again this year. Sure, the New Orleans Saints did go to the NFC Championship last year and they were a nice story with Katrina (their emotional win against the Falcons on MNF last year was good theater), but let's keep in mind that the Saints were only 10-6 last year. They LOST SIX GAMES and there aren't many teams that have gotten to the Super Bowl with just 10 wins. I think the Bills made it to the Super Bowl at 9-7 one year. All I'm saying is that, sure, the Saints were good last year but they weren't that good. They only made it to the NFC Championship because the NFC was weak. In the AFC they more than likely would have been a wild card team and gotten put out of the first round of the play-offs. So while the Colts' victory against them was sweet and convincing, especially on defense, I want to see them lay the wood to some championship caliber teams like the Chargers and Patriots. Hey, it's a long season but the Colts are off to good start!
