Hometown Boy Addai


I really dislike the Colts, but I do wish Addai well this Sunday. I had the good fortune to take in a Klein Forest vs. Sharpstown game, 2001-2002 timeframe, where Addai, the quarterback, was in complete control. Although quarterbacking consisted of Addai runs to the left, right and up the middle. He was Mr. everything offensively for Sharpstown that night, but in the end it was a defensive play that won the game. Klein Forest had one last chance to win the game from around the fifty with less than a minute to go and trailing by less than seven. Addai was put in defensively to rush the passer for Sharpstown. He met the quarterback about ten yards deep from the line of scrimmage, and he slung him around like a rag doll for a huge game winning, morale deflating sack. I had no particular rooting interest that night, but I did walk away believing the hype about this kid.

Why do you really dislike the Colts? Topic sentences should be supported in order to acquire credibility. Such as, "A long festering grudge against the Irsay family," or "Peyton Manning's nasally voice," or "Indiana's insistence of maintaining both the Central and Eastern time zones within it's borders."

Their in our division. I am programmed to dislike them. I like Peyton as a pitchman, but he goes a little overboard at the line of scrimmage. I mainly just want to see a good game.
