Why I love Adam

Today has been a day of mourning. Losing to Denver was hard. I was feeling a bit lost today, trying to figure who I could cheer for next. (As if anyone could replace the Patriots). While Carolina is my obvious choice, I tuned into the Steelers/Colts despite my dislike for both. Then, something strange happened. I don't know if it was just the intensity of the anti-Steelers feelings, or if the blue and white just looked incredibly bright next to the yellow and black, but suddenly I found myself wanting the Colts to win. Feeling unsteady about this sudden change of heart, I wondered how my life had gotten to the point where I was actually cheering for Indianopolis. It didn't seem to matter though, with the 17 point lead for the Steelers. Errands were run. I returned to the house to discover only a 3 point lead! Could it really be?! Alas, the Steelers made it back down to the 2 yard line. But wait! The Colts have it! They run it back! 46 yard field goal attempt! Going for the tie! Going for overtime! They're still alive!

Vanderjagt misses. I can't imagine how horrible he feels right now.

And yet, all I can think is, no way Adam would've missed that.

And that's why I love Adam.

for everything that is good and holy, you CANNOT cheer for Carolina
