Dear Indianapolis Colts,

Why must you continue to mess with my heart? First, you play terrible until the last minutes of the game, during which you decide to come back for the win. Then, during the Ravens game, you make this loyal fan believe that you are going to start playing like a super bowl team again.

Why must you tease me like this? Last week I could barely stand to keep the TV on. In fact, you played as if every one of you was a rookie. What happened? Was it just a joke to you? No, that was harsh. I know that you didn't mean to suck. But seriously? What happened?

Now, I know I should understand that all teams have their off seasons. I mean, I have been following the Colts since Harbaugh was the quarterback and our biggest rival was the Dolphiins (I distinctly remember being at a Colts v. Dolphins game as a child, chanting "squish the fish") so I've seen my share of tough seasons, but I didn't see this one coming.

So please, my dear football team. For your loyal fans, get it together. I know you're trying, but I'm sure there's more you can do. In fact, I know there is! I saw that Ravens game! I know you can play like you did two years ago! I believe in you my dear Colts. And I always will, regardless of how bad you suck this season, or in seasons to come. Thanks for listening, and I hope to see improvements in the next game.

Your loyal fan,

Kelly
