INDIANAPOLIS – The human nature in us likes to avoid confronting difficult truths.
When our waistlines expand, it’s not that we’re getting fatter. We’ve just put on a few.
Even as we age, we refuse to admit we’re getting old. We instead claim 40 is the new 30 (is it, really?).
Now, we’re learning these realities apply to football, too. Take, for example, the Indianapolis Colts. For a team that was 4-12 last season and has gone too many years without a dramatic reshaping, many fans have found it easier to proceed as if the team is just a couple players away from returning to glory.
