AFC Title Game 5 Years ago Karma: 5  
I have loved hating Peyton Manning since he came into the NFL.&nbsp; He immediately became the easiest guy to hate when you could not watch a game without &quot;he studies film&quot; being hammered into your head by the color guy.&nbsp; Every NFL QB studies film for hours upon end or they are not an NFL QB.&nbsp; Yet Peyton gets the &quot;student of the game&quot; title.&nbsp; So, I have really enjoyed cheering against him for years.&nbsp; This includes the playoff loses to the Patriots in years past and most recently, pulling for Kansas City over them.&nbsp; <br /><br />But something hit me during the Baltimore game, and my idea of the Colts changed completely.&nbsp; This is a complete 180 degree change in heart.<br /><br />I have tried to get an FCA chapter off the ground here this year, and you don&#039;t have to browse the FCA website for very long to see which prominent sports figures support FCA and what it stands for.&nbsp; There is one person you will see moreso than anyone else:&nbsp; Tony Dungy.<br /><br />There is a DVD with a testimony from Dungy and other Colts that I have given to a couple of our kids that are having a hard time.&nbsp; Dungy was also a spokesperson for FCA recently, and has a little section in a special FCA Bible that I have given to some kids.<br /><br />I was watching the Ravens play the Colts and wondering, am I really going to pull for a coach who is known for his non-stop f-bombs (Billick) over the most prominent FCA sports figure just because Peyton Manning is a media darling?<br /><br />So I watched the game in neutral, which kind of takes the fun out of it, and every time they showed Dungy I tried reading his lips.&nbsp; Never saw a cuss word.&nbsp; Billick...well...<br /><br />So now, the Colts take on the Patriots, and to me this is pretty clear cut.&nbsp; <br /><br />You can cheer for this coach: <br />http://thetrack.bostonherald.com/moreTra....bg?articleid=149076<br />Or this one:<br />www.fcagear.com/catalog/catalog_subcat.a...id=25&amp;mode=r<br /><br />I know there are good guys and bad guys on both teams, but the head coach is the face of the franchise, and has more impact on if his players will be a good guy or a bad guy than anyone else.&nbsp; So, I hope the Colts win.&nbsp; If you know me well at all, you know how big of a turnaround this is, but I have to cheer for Dungy.<br /><br />By the way, which player still playing is the biggest into FCA?&nbsp; Drew Brees.<br /><br />Here&#039;s hoping for a Saints vs. Colts Super Bowl.
