Emotional Primer - a Recent History of Chiefs vs Colts

[Warrior5]

Indianapolis...

Yes, we hate the Raiders; it's our DNA. And no team incurs my utter loathing and contempt like the Donks. But just for Week 5 of the 2010 season, let’s talk a little Colt-hate.

Now I know it’s hard to hate on the Colts the same way Chief fans hate Oakland scum and cheatin’ Denver dirtbags, especially for some of you younger Planet n00bs. Indy is talented. Indy is respectable. The Colts’ organization is a class act. Unlike Oakland and Denver, they don’t have scumbags, wife-beaters, cross-dressers, drunk drivers, dope smokers, or cheap-shot artists on their roster.

The Chiefs will certainly be road-dogs at Indy. They should be. Just having Manning, Clark, Adai, Wayne, Freeney, Bethea, Mathis, and Sanders on one roster would be a fantasy football player’s dream. But just for a moment, try to forget the Chiefs’ current record, the numerous Player of the Week accolades, and the stats. Pull up a chair, and let me break down some recent history for you.

In the ’95 playoff game at Arrowhead, in -9 windchill conditions, the underdog Colts walked away with a 10-7 victory over the 13-3 Chiefs. Of course, they were greatly assisted by the "kicker who shall remain nameless" missing three FGs, along with 3 interceptions. That was junk punch #1.

The Colts kicked us in the crotch again the very next year, and got a two-fer. The 9-5 Chiefs hosted the 8-6 Colts at Arrowhead in week 16, and again the Colts won a squeaker, 24-19. Consequently, both teams’ records went to 9-6, and in the final week of the regular season, the Colts received the final playoff spot over the Chiefs because of the tie-breaker. Junk punches #2 and #3.

It was seven long years before the Chiefs again faced the Colts in post-season play. You’d figure with all the new players, new rules, and seven years to forget bad habits, things would be different. The again 13-3 Chiefs hosted the Colts at Arrowhead, and despite Priest Holmes and Dante Hall, Peyton ****ing Manning had a near perfect day, beating the Chiefs 38-31 in the only punt-less playoff game in history. This one hurt the most for two reasons: our crappy D couldn’t stop them ONE time, and I froze my ass off during that game. With junk punch #4, I literally began to loathe Indy.

Although the 2007 Chiefs really had no business being in the playoffs, the stars aligned, Herm Edwards threw chicken bones on the floor, and there they were. Not surprisingly, they got their asses handed to them 23-8 in that first game and went home. But it was the fact that this thumping occurred in Indy that caused my blood to boil.

Which brings us to the present. The biggest burr in the Chiefs’ saddle over the last 15 years hasn’t been the Oakland Asshats or the Denver Douchebags. Sure, they’re so much easier to hate, but they aren’t the enemy this week.

I’m tired of getting clowned by the Colts...

I’m tired of the lop-sided record...

Most of all, I’m fed up with getting kicked in the nads with a horseshoe.

So respect and admire the Colts all you want, but for this week, and at least until about 3:45 p.m. CST on Sunday, I’m a Colt-hater.

Feel free to join me. Colts
