You can be a Colts fan and still appreciate the talent you see from other teams/players.

I don't disagree that a lot of our dislike of Belicheat and Brady come from their success against the Colts. But you fail to mention the fact that all of that success came during the Spygate heydays, which obviously takes our dislike to the next level. If they weren't illegally video taping all of their opponents playcalls then we probably win more than 1 SB during the Manning era, or at the very least they win fewer.
It doesn't help that the league only gave them a slap on wrist when they were caught and did even less when they were caught a second time around.
