Yep, no kidding.

Being a proud fan of the Indianapolis Colts for the past several years (& well before they won it all a few months back), I can't help but think of one thing: will the Colts do it again next season? It's way too early to say but I've never held out hopes for repeats. I mean, the Cowboys did it during the early 90s, when their dynasty was still formidable with Aikman, Emmitt Smith & Michael Irvin running the show. Then, the Denver Broncos came along later on & proved that there are indeed second acts in the history of NFL football. Then New England stepped onto the scene (also, the Pats have always been one of the Colts' longtime playoff bugbears) to get their point across along the same lines as Denver & Dallas: no one said that it couldn't be done, right?

In NFL history, the doubters who felt Denver, Dallas, or the Pats couldn't pull off repeats were proven wrong & that to me is what makes pro football so exciting, not only to watch but to be a part of the excitement up in the stands, on the field...no kidding..

Back to my first question: can the Colts win another Super Bowl? Again, it's too soon to say. As is the case with many teams like Indy, the offseason is a time to rebuild, put new players into the mix, even worse trade your favorite stars. So who knows for sure? Positively, only the regular season will provide the answers to this question & it's a few months down the line. Until then, I'm patiently waiting (as who knows how many Colts fans were when they wanted Indy to finally win the Super Bowl).
