One of the guys in the group is a diehard Colts fan and he has been chiding me since last Sunday. Reminded me of our horrible defense, our known playoff collapses, and how Luck was going to eat us alive. Said the Colts defense was going to show the NFL how to stop Mahomes.....
I haven't seen a text from him since the score went to 14-0.... 
I was doing fine after the game....all excited (and anticipating your column). I went to say something to my wife and passed by the picture of my dad in the hallway.
My dad is the man who taught me all about baseball and football and stoked my love of the game. We bonded over sports, even in the years (teens and twenties) I was a bit of a rebel. I didn't make it to say anything to my wife...I walked back into my study and sat and cried....for the win and for my dad.
Great read as always George... |
Touching. My dad just passed away on Thanksgiving day. I told him on his death bed he needed to hold on a couple more months to witness a Mahomes playoff series.
