The calendar year is divided into two halves for me: football season and the offseason. Try as I might to have other hobbies between the months of September and January, football is an all-consuming pastime. I may be a girly girl who loves shopping, talking, and watching chick flicks, but there are some confessions I have about my love of the NFL that only a true fan would understand.

I once missed a wedding for a playoff game.

I get annoyed when things are scheduled during football games. I know this is an unrealistic expectation, but I can’t help it. The worst thing I have ever done is to miss a friend’s entire wedding. I would have been on time, but a crazy 2001 Colts wild-card playoff game went into overtime. The Colts then lost, adding further insult to injury. I rushed to the church and tried to sneak into the back before anyone noticed, but it was locked. Awful, right? I have since learned my lesson to set my DVR to record the big games, but everyone knows that is not as fun as watching the game live.

Deepi was born and raised in Indianapolis. She still remembers the awesome
feeling of waking up one morning at the age of 9 and discovering the Colts had
moved to her hometown. She has been a die-hard Colts fan since that very first
day, braving the awful first years, the blacked out home games, and the revolving door of quarterbacks and head coaches. Deepi is proud to say she has been a true fan watching her team transform from their nicknamed Dolt days to a nationally respected team. Deepi moved to Houston, Texas in 1996 and continues to follow her hometown team. It is a blessing and a curse as she gets to see the Colts each year but is definitely in the minority in Texans’ country. Deepi has been in radio broadcasting as the host of her own weekly Indian music program but has been working to expand into sports radio. She has just finished an internship with CBS Radio and SportsRadio 610 and loves that she is able to write about her passion now for Her Game Life!
