The Peyton Manning Will Choke in Super Bowl XLI Countdown is Now 4 Days, 9 Hours Away
I did consider the idea that it would be nice for the good people of Indianapolis to win a Super Bowl, seeing how people there are Midwesterners and probably extremely friendly and polite to the point where if you were to get into a car accident with one of them, being from the Midwest they would not only exchange insurance information with you but also a creamed casserole dish or jell-o mold, which they normally carry extra of in their trunk for just such an emergency. But I decided against rooting for the Colts because: A) when the moving trucks filled with Colts equipment was pulling out of Baltimore, I was living in Phoenix and for a brief moment (regular programming was interrupted to show the moving trucks) we thought the trucks were heading our way. Instead, several years later Arizona got the Cardinals. Thanks a lot. B) Chicago is also filled with Midwesterners and, presumably, nice, jell-o eating people. C) Chicago never stole a professional team from another city that my hometown wanted to steal first. D) Chicago's quarterback, while not as talented as the Indianapolis quarterback, has one intangible going for him: he is not Peyton "The Endorser" Manning.
