Colts hang 'AFC Finalist' banner at Lucas Oil Stadium, get ridiculed by Internet

The Indianapolis Colts decided to commemorate their 45-7 AFC title game loss to the Patriots by hanging an "2014 AFC Finalist" banner at Lucas Oil Stadium this week.

And, if hanging up a banner that will remind you of a 38-point beat-down every time your team plays at home wasn't bad enough, the Twitter trolls had a field day.

The Colts hanging a "2014 AFC Finalist" banner at Lucas Oil is the funniest thing anyone's ever done in the history of sports

In the Colts' defense, this isn't the first time they've hung up an "AFC Finalist" banner, it's just the first time they've done it in the social media era when people could make fun of it. Here's a look at the banners from 1995 and 2003.

Colts have been doing that "finalist" banner thing for a long time now, for what it's worth. pic.twitter.com/MUAhIlzVy1
