CHAMPIONS’ PODIUM: They stood shoulder to shoulder, and as they stood, cheers poured from the stands.
Came the announcement:
From the Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts . . .
Before each Pro Bowl, players are introduced in groups of players from each team. The players ascend a podium, pose for a picture, and their names are introduced to the crowd.
The final players introduced each season?
The representatives of the Super Bowl champions.
On Sunday, for the first time in 36 seasons, that team was the Colts. For the five players representing the Colts, the week in Hawaii was a constant curtain call of sorts, with every day bringing a pleasant reminder of their 29-17 Super Bowl victory over the Chicago Bears last Sunday.
The pre-game announcement was one final such moment, Glenn said.
Glenn, making his third Pro Bowl appearance, said the announcement never gets old.
“Especially when they announce you as the Super Bowl Champions, man,” Glenn said. “It was an honor. It’s nice. That’s what it’s all about man.
“It’s been a great week, playing with all the guys.”
