So there was a little football game in town last night. But don't say that around here... here in Indy, it was the game of the century. It was being called "The War of 1812" because it was Peyton Manning (#18) versus Andrew Luck (#12).
Did the hype expand out of this City? Can anyone tell me?
Can we say "Over Hyped", regardless if it did or not??
You would of have thought it was the coming of Jesus the way people were acting around here. It was stupid insane. And so not warranted. There was even controversy during the week leading up to it when Jim Irsay made some comments that basically was the equivalent of saying, 'he was happy that they let Peyton go since he wasn't needed at his level of play anymore.' Of course, Peyton being the classy guy he is, just let it go. At least publicly.
Over. Hyped.
Don't get me wrong. It actually turned out to be a good game. Any one of normalcy expected a pretty lopsided game in Denver's favor. But apparently, the hype seeped into the Colts players' blood and they came out pretty amped up. And won, surprisingly. Granted, the Broncos kind of beat themselves with some of the stupid mistakes. But regardless, it made for a better game that I thought it would be.
And I'm sure the greedy NFL ate it all up. I'm sure all the hype left them foaming at the mouth for more. Maybe they'll make everyone buy a cheap windbreaker next year, and not let you wear your own jacket to the stadium. I'm sure they'll figure out another way to make fans spend more money.
