Colts Universe 49

Professional football is far off topic for this blog, but this is an emergency: The universe is broken and only I can fix it.

Right now, I am watching the Colts play the 49ers.  The Colts are supposed to be winning because I am rooting for them, which involves sort of tensing my entire body and channeling all my energy at the TV screen.  However, something is going wrong because Peyton Manning just got sacked for the third time. What is wrong with the universe?  When I root this hard, it always works, obviously, since the Colts are undefeated this season.

There is a simple explanation for why the Colts aren't winning.  You see, when I was a kid I was a 49ers fan (we moved from northern CA to Indiana when I was eleven).  So even though I'm channeling all of my energy at the Colts on the TV, the universe is a little bit confused by the fact that a long time ago I used to channel my energy at the 49ers. 

It is easy to see where this confusion comes from.  You see, the 49ers of my youth were the Colts of now.  Think of the Joe Montana/Jerry Rice combo.  Now, think of the Peyton Manning/Marvin Harrison combo.  That Marvin Harrison is no longer a Colt is part of the universe's confusion.  However, the core of the problem is that as a child I rooted for a team with a charismatic, dynamic quarterback and graceful receivers, and now I root for a team with those same qualities.  When these two teams play each other, the universe sometimes goes bananas and crosses energy streams.

Dear universe, I see why you are confused, but please consider this blog post an explanation and directive. Set yourself back on course: I am rooting for the Colts.  Please stop channeling my energy to the wrong team.

Update: Universe, that play in which Manning handed it to Addai who threw it (!) to Wayne for a touchdown?  That's what I'm talking about! Excellent use of the energy I'm channeling at the TV with my body tension!  Thank you for reading and understanding.  Also, I'm happy to see you following my blog.
