At first glance, his email read like any other. He was a diehard Colts fan, desperate for Colts news. This was eight months back – a few days before the NFL Draft – and he wanted to know who his favorite team was taking sixth overall. I like this GM already, he wrote. We need to build Luck a line, he added. Nothing out of the norm.

He was a lifer, this fan, casually tossing out names I had to look up in the back of the Colts’ media guide – Glenn Doughty, Nesby Glasgow, Lydell Mitchell.
