"Due to multiple degenerative injuries / disabilities that affect my neurological , muscular and other bodily syetems as well as heavy medication I have difficulty typing and using a computer in general This may affect my Fan Posts and comments, but don't let that distract you from my love of the Colts and there fans and all mankind."
Currently its all I could do caring for myself and my soon to be 92 year old mother who unfortunately has a brain tumor, but still can carry on a heavy political / current event discussion . God bless her cause he sure blessed me with her and her insipration on me.
However the time involved is quite consuming and the one tiny fanpost I did write generated much unexpected feedback & while not many as post go it was all I could do to just follow that. Therefore I may or may not comment or post another fanpost unless I find somethinmg of real value that hasn't been presented yet.
I am a disabled ankle surgeon since 1988 after having a short 6 year , but most gratifying career helping those with ankle traiuma and childhood birth defects. The latter is especially missed.
I"m 57 Years old ,
Born in Brooklyn, NY, Lived in Southeast Mich over 1/2 my life since 1980 ,but Brooklyn will always be home
+ How I became a Colt Fan
In the 50's the first pack of football cards I ever bought had a Johnny Unitas Card Rookie Card .My brother and his friends couldn't believe it, explained the significance of it and I have been a Colt fan ever since..
I know I have seen every Colt game once Satellite TV offered the football package and what a never ending delight it has been to see Peyton do his mastery all these years . To think of living through your favorite team with a Unitas to Berry combination besides all the old great Colts and then a Peyton To Harrison, Wayne , Clark, and the newbies as well as our other greats like the DE bookends and all core players is more than the average fan can expect his team to produce. Also lets not forget the players between those 2 generations, Bert Jones who some say had the greatest single QB season ever, think in 76, but there were no stats then like the current ones, Marshal Faulk, The Edge ( miss hiim , had to note him ), Gutsy Jim Harbaugh and all the rest to name a few who delighted all able to see and appreciate them. What a team throughout history
Thanks for reading my story, Barry
