I tried, briefly, to get interested in the Broncos when Peyton returned to football after his neck surgery. I didn't last through the agonizing end to that debacle. Peyton should have walked out when he was up and had the perfect reason to hang up his helmet and cleats.
I also briefly tried to follow the Colts but that didn't take either. Actually the end of the Peyton Manning era was pretty much the end of football watching for me. There was a lot of team switching all across both leagues and guys retiring and I just didn't find the chemistry I enjoyed anywhere.
Husband is a Steelers fan but Big Ben is too iffy for me to care about though I did watch now and then just to see Troy Polamalu come flying in from who knows where to make awesome plays. That's a guy who knew when it was time to walk away.
With the Brady/Belichick thing done and over I only have one team to hate...the Cowboys...but that's mostly because of Jerry Jones.
Didn't Manning retire at the end of the 2015 season after winning the Super Bowl? i.e. hung up his cleats on a high note and didn't have an agonizing end to his career.
