I adopted Denver as my second team (after the 49rs) solely because of John Elway. Since Elway retired, I have paid no attention to Denver. Somehow having him as an administrator does not emotionally count for me.Â
I imagine I will go through the same phenomena with Luck and the Colts. After all, as a small kid I was a Johnny Unitas fan. On the other hand, I have passionately hated the Colts franchise ever since the infamous 1984 middle-of-the-night move by Bob Irsay. (Actually, I think I started hating them a year earlier, when they had Frank Kush as coach. I remember being absolutely gleeful when Elway turned them down.) Sort of like my wife's life long hatred for the Giants after they traded away her hero Willie Mays. Hmmmm, Luck has put me in a dilemma...but I think I know which way my heartstrings will pull.
