Well, he roots for a team that's like 2-50 against the Colts in their history.

Actually, I rather revere the Colts overall due to their rivalry with New England and don't harbor anywhere near the hatred for them as I do the Titans and Jaguars. I LOVED Peyton/Edge/Harrison/Wayne. I've probably outwardly cheered for the Colts due to their games against NE more than any other non-Texans team.

I like Luck quite a bit despite a couple instances of flopping on his part and some favorable calls he's received, particularly on Sunday Night Football last year against the Texans. Every Texans/Colts game seems to have referee shenanigans. This stretches back YEARS but it seems to be getting worse and worse, with the 2011 game on TNF and again, the SNF game last season.

But I think the rest of the team is quite overrated. I don't think they deserve anywhere near the adulation they get and I'm not that impressed with them overall. Highly beatable and it's a shame my ****ty *** team couldn't take advantage of that fact. I also don't care much for Hilton who reminds me a bit of Jason Terry in basketball with his demeanor (best comparison I could come up with) and I can't *stand* *that* guy. Don't like Trent Richardson. I like Vontae Davis though.

Oh yeah, Vinatieri. Oh yeah.

But hey, it doesn't matter. They're not out to impress me. They're out there to win and so far they've done that. They're in the AFC Championship Game and they need to beat New England and it's really as simple as that. Certainly less lucky than the Jets' two AFC Championship runs a couple years back, that's for sure. I like the presumption that it has to do with the Texans inability to beat them though. Very cute. Very cliche. Very trite. Impressive. The Texans do better against the Raiders (6-3) and I hate the Raiders and are 0-4 against the Eagles and I don't really hate the Eagles anymore now that Vick's gone so clearly I don't decide who I love and hate based on my team's record against them.

I love Matrix, but his list of "unlikable" teams is longer than Dirk Diggler.

And the vast majority have plenty good reason to be on my list, lol. Not shallow bull**** like "it's cuz his team doesn't beat them." I don't base who I hate on whether my teams beat them or not. If I did, I'd be the Lakers' biggest fan now over the last few years.

Oh, I know…I just don't think anyone should be surprised if you don't like a team.

I don't really see the "adulation" the Colts get. They barely seem to get any press IMO and the only times they do are when they're playing Peyton. And everyone seems to pick against them, rightfully so though because they aren't that great.

The weather forecast here in the New England area for game time is 90% rain. Should favor the run game.

I love weather games! Hopefully it'll be a driving rain storm.
