Pssst... no one here has probably gathered this yet, but we really like the Colts. We also like the Cardinals, to a lesser degree, but still - fan. Despite the Cardinals' awful start to this season, the last 12 months or so have been exceedingly rewarding. So are we upset that Indianapolis missed out on an opportunity to host a Super Bowl (albeit four years from now)? Nope. Never thought it was remotely possible in the first place. Honestly, why would the NFL pick a cold-weather city in the middle of the country over one of the league's most powerful owners and his looming megastadiadome? The Colts' new stadium (named after an oil company) cost $675 million. The Cowboys' new stadium (fostered by a man who made his name selling oil) cost $1 billion. One billion dollars. Go ahead and soak that in. It also seats nearly 30,000 more people. Why did Indianapolis ever think it stood a chance? None of the league's owners want to freeze their asses off in Indy during the last week of January, no matter how many enclosed walkways lead to the soon-to-open Lucas Oil.
But hey, they still get the rings, right?
