Picking the Steelers

A true story.

Betsy's brother Marco, my boys and I had a pool going early in the 2000's. It was the playoffs, and the Colts had demolished a good Denver team by something like 45-7. The Patriots had squeaked by the Steelers 14-10. They were meeting at Foxborough and of course the boys and I picked the Pats. But Marcus, althouth professing to be a strong Patriots fan, was worried about the potent Colts offense, and he picked the Colts. The Pats won 14-3.

To this day, whenever Marco makes a comment on sports, on politics or on life, one of us will respond derisively with "Colts lover"!
