Stand by your man?

Apparently I'm not the only one who had
this thought.

Adam's going to the Colts?! Leaving the Patriots? For the Colts?

When one's love for a team is tightly linked, or moreover, partially rooted in, one's love for a player, what does one do when that player leaves that team? The situation is further complicated when one's love decides to move to a team one really doesn't like (not that one has ever been able to discern why one so strongly dislikes the team - except it's Indiannapolis. And they're called the Colts. I mean, really.) Cheer for and support the man, yes. Yet it results in a completely counterintuitive and foreign feeling of cheering for and supporting the team. Confusion of mind and heart runs rampant.

It's a good thing the season is so far away. I think I'm going to need that time.

Perhaps these are the times to which Tammy Wynette was referring?
