As a house hold of huge Colts fans the last few weeks have been rough. We have said all year that we were on the "Suck for Luck" campaign. Meaning that we wanted the Colts to get the number one pick in the draft so that they could pick up Andrew Luck. We knew that picking up Luck would mean that the Colts would let Peyton Manning go. Even when we knew it was coming it was still heart breaking to hear the official word. I'm not going to lie, there were even a few tears shed in our house. We had become emotionally attached to a player. We watched him win a Super Bowl for our team. We went to Indy to see him take them to a second Super Bowl. He was the reason that I started liking football so much in the first place. Now he's no longer a part of the team. It's hard to see such a great player let go and knowing that you will be cheering for a team who has a tough road of rebuilding ahead of them. It was just the Colts time. Their team was getting old and in the end everyone has to rebuild and start over. Players don't last forever. So the fate of the Colts is now in the hands of this man. If you can't have Manning, I'd take Luck!
On the plus side... Manning is headed to Denver and since we live in Utah and are pretty much forced to see the Broncos every Sunday, this means we will still be watching a lot of Peyton in our house. And, you can bet that we will all still be sporting our now "throw back" Peyton Manning Colts jerseys.
