Maybe it was karma that caused Indianapolis to choke away an AFC title game opportunity on Sunday. After all, the Colts were up 10-7 at halftime of their contest against San Diego last week before the botch. Now, Indy fans are scuttling to find explanations for how they let another epic showdown with New England slip through their fingers, but we say look no further than the halftime entertainment. You basically begged fate to kick you in the balls by booing a little girl.
Fourteen-year-old Anny Grant was the Patriots’ representative in the annual Punt, Pass and Kick competition. And when she was introduced along with the other winners before the fourth quarter of San Diego’s playoff win over the Colts, she was the only one booed by the crowd.
Booing a 14-year-old; shame, shame. You know what they say, karma is a bitch and apparently she works double time to get revenge when a stadium of 56,950 gang up against one little girl. Of course, the New England Patriots were quick to reward Grant for sporting their colors in a hostile environment.
Grant also returned from school and heard a phone message from Andre Tippett, the Patriots’ executive director of community affairs and a former star linebacker. She called back and was ecstatic when Tippett extended the invitation to the game – plus tickets for her, her parents and two brothers.

One reply on “The karma police were on hand in Indianapolis last week”
Patriots Reaction — The Patriots reaction to this is just as bad as Florida’s reaction to the Steve Bartman issue. So the kid got booed… She’s 14!! not 5! and do the patriots believe that this kid somehow stopped the patriots. Not to mention the lack of respect that they are showing San Diego. The Patriots should watch out, San Diego has a hard hitting defense, and thats the real reason they beat Indy, they made Indy pay for every down, it causes you too slow down.
