I wasn’t following football yet when the Texans joined the league and realignment happened, but it really bothered me when I was young that we were in the South despite being further north than some teams in the North. Always thought the Dolphins should’ve went to the South, Ravens to the East, and us to the North. Were colts fans upset when it happened? How did they even make that decision?

Obviously enough time has passed where it doesn’t really matter at this point, but it’s fun to think of all the butterfly effect scenarios if realignment goes different. Colts stay in the East and we get Manning/Luck and Brady playing twice a year? Colts move to the North and develop a big time rivalry with Cincinnati? No Manning in the South and Steve McNair dominates the division?
