Actually, I do understand getting worked up over the Colts ...... if they are in a close game, I will sometimes write a tongue-in-cheek post that if Matt Gay misses a kick I'm going to blow up his fucking car in the parking lot.
And there are plenty of posters who get pissed off and say so when the Colts shit the bed and lose a crucial game to a team like the Giants with their playoff hopes on the line ...... and I understand that, too.
But what I perceive as peculiarly excessive from Chopped Wood is that in about 80 to 90 percent of his posts, he lashes out vehemently at somebody in the front office, some coach on the team's sidelines, and/or one of the team's players ...... it's almost as though he does so as if he's remembering to sign his name at the end of a written letter ...... and if he really is as upset as he is saying that he is (and as often as he expresses it), it makes me wonder if his fandom of the Colts is even worth it. The whole point of being a fan is to get some type of enjoyment out of it, even if your team has a record of 2-15 and you are showing others that you are a loyal fan through thick and thin by wearing the team colors (which is what I do, regardless of how good or bad my teams are ...... I wore the Baltimore Orioles' colors every day when they were losing more than 100 games 3 times in 4 seasons between 2018 and 2021, just as much as when they had 5 straight winning seasons between 2012 and 2016.) If he is OK with being that way like he says he is, that's his business, but I almost feel a little bad for him if he really is that upset over it all.
