Colts fans irate at team and GM; call into radio show

The Colts, who have been a very respected and successful organization over the last decade pulled a big no-no with the fans on Sunday.

In the 3rd quarter, coach Jim Caldwell pulled his starters and the Colts went on to lose the game and blow a potentially perfect season.

To say the least, Colts fans who have followed the team and pay good money to go see games weren’t happy. So when Bill Polian went to do his weekly radio show on Monday, things got heated.

A brief summary from a Indianapolis Colts blog

* One caller claimed Polian and the Colts had run from the win.

* Another caller, a polite but obviously agitated lady, brought up the point that it was unfair to charge fans high ticket prices during a recession only to see the team pull starters.

* Another fan, which happened to be the last caller of the show, challenged Polian by stating the obviously: The Colts did not put forth a maximum effort to win because they pulled their starters at a critical time in the game.

After a heated exchange with another fan, the broadcast went dead. You can bet that if the Colts somehow fail prior to the Super Bowl this year, many will call for Polian’s head. It may be one thing to rest a guy who has an injury but its quite another to bench your starters in a winnable game at home.

Coming from someone who’s a Lions fan, even I find that despicable. And I lived through the Millen years.
