It asked:<br /><br />Which statement better reflects how you feel about Super Bowl XLIX?<br /><br />Patriots won it<br /> <br />Seahawks lost it<br /><br />The poll has a map showing each state&#39;s votes. The New England states voted most heavily for the Patriots being the winners, and the State of Washington voted most heavily for the Seahawks losing the game.<br /><br />These results are to be expected as the sentiments of each home team&#39;s fans. <br /><br />Nationally, the results were<br /><br />39% Patriots won it<br /> <br />61% Seahawks lost it<br /><br />The State of Washington voted 21% Pats, 79% Seahawks.<br /><br />Do you know which state was second in voting for the Seahawks losing the game? 43 states to choose from, plus the rest of the world. <br /><br />Drum roll..... Indiana, at 30% Pats, 70% Seahawks. Indianapolis is 940 miles from Boston, but Hoosiers hold such a grudge against that city and its team? It&#39;s irrational. Indy is embarrassing and pathetic, and they went after Grigson&#39;s Framegate like a dog on a bone.<br /><br />For the betterment of everyone living in Indianapolis, this city needs to change its mentality and embrace and accept more worldly attitudes and respect true success and accomplishment. Indy takes every sporting event so personally that it&#39;s creepy and embarrassing, as if the city, itself, is at risk of humiliation because of the performance of a sports team. This is the city that killed a Bears fan during the 2006/7 Super Bowl and gave a Jets fan brain damage during a playoff game.<br /><br />This Framegate is a perfect moment to force Indianapolis to realize that it needs to change. Indianapolis is sick. Indy is frail. Indy is weak. Indy is bitter. Indy is so terrified and angry that it&#39;s dangerous. Such hyper hostility is irrational and unhealthy. Instead of hating Boston, be more like Boston. Don&#39;t hate the winner; be the winner, a real winner. When people visit America, they want to see Boston. Indianapolis? Not so much.<br /><br />The best thing Indianapolis could do for itself would be to throw a vistory parade for the Patriots and force the entire town to attend.<br /><br />http://www.silive.com/news/index.ssf/2010/01/jets_fan_beaten_bloody_in_indy.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-29453055451483597102015-02-05T08:00:50.803-05:002015-02-05T08:00:50.803-05:00Get over the deflategate. It was nothing but a concocted scandal from the get-go to drive ratings for the Super Bowl--as if the billionaire NFL team owners needed to find a way to earn even more money. Gary R.

The Star should do the right thing and show Kravitz the door, right away. The Star is supposed to be a newspaper, not the Colts&#39; fan club and press agency.<br /><br />On the blogs, Ogden isn&#39;t looking too good.<br /><br />A good suggestion is that the draft picks the Colts should lose for Framegate should go to the Patriots.<br /><br />http://www.hngn.com/articles/66772/20150204/new-england-patriots-rumors-tom-brady-deflategate-created-by-baltimore-ravens-indianapolis-colts-to-embarrass-qb.htm<br /><br />http://boston.cbslocal.com/2015/02/04/esiason-on-deflategate-coordinated-effort-by-ravens-colts-to-embarrass-tom-brady/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-28729720374515179542015-02-04T21:18:38.817-05:002015-02-04T21:18:38.817-05:00Gary, it&#39;s D&#39;Qwell Jackson.Jeff Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896694141148386531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-24399028795969220022015-02-04T16:03:57.646-05:002015-02-04T16:03:57.646-05:00I&#39;m curious what the percentage of Colts players/management that have been to jail is? <br /><br />-What an embarrassment to the city!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-53550220795048320312015-02-04T11:13:03.604-05:002015-02-04T11:13:03.604-05:00What a class act- from Jim Irsay on down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
