Dear Pat Robertson,
I know that you know that all press is good press, so I appreciate the shout-out. And you make God look like a big mean bully who kicks people when they are down, so I’m all over that action.
But when you say that Haiti has made a pact with me, it is totally humiliating. I may be evil incarnate, but I’m no welcher. The way you put it, making a deal with me leaves folks desperate and impoverished.
Sure, in the afterlife, but when I strike bargains with people, they first get something here on earth — glamour, beauty, talent, wealth, fame, glory, a golden fiddle. Those Haitians have nothing, and I mean nothing. And that was before the earthquake. Haven’t you seen “Crossroads”? Or “Damn Yankees”?
If I had a thing going with Haiti, there’d be lots of banks, skyscrapers, SUVs, exclusive night clubs, Botox — that kind of thing. An 80 percent poverty rate is so not my style. Nothing against it — I’m just saying: Not how I roll.
You’re doing great work, Pat, and I don’t want to clip your wings — just, come on, you’re making me look bad. And not the good kind of bad. Keep blaming God. That’s working. But leave me out of it, please. Or we may need to renegotiate your own contract.
Best, Satan

so, I honestly can not claim to being a lifetime colts fan, as they really didn’t matter to me until the late 80’s when they slinked out of Baltimore.  I used to like the Bears a lot back in those days (bears fan from Gayle Sayers to the Fridge)..  That said, I do know that our team has been pretty close to a dynasty as you can become in the salary cap era of the NFL.   I just hope that we can get another superbowl victory to erase all of the doubt around these guys, especially peyton, who seems like the kinda guy that i wished would have been putting his hands on my ass when i played center..
