Where's part 3?

[RichardBrettSumner]

@MIKECNW The only part missing is Part 6. It was a segment that covered a dinner at Raven's Stadium. I never got around to adding it here...but it didn't have any interviews or anything, so I didn't deem it necessary to include it.

My current prediction is Ravens move in 2027. Los Angeles Ravens sounds about right.

Maybe Modell can reminisce about his trade of Paul Warfield for a mediocre quarterback.

Maybe Irsay Knew what he was doing and he knew where football had more class.

Poland was attacked and taken over by Hitler's Nazi Germany in September 1939. There was world outcry and England and France declared war on Germany. But few people remember that just a little over a year earlier Hitler was allowed to trample over Czechoslovakia and next door neighbor Poland joined in with Germany and gobbled up part of Czechoslovakia to get in on the spoils. "Colts moving bad and Brown stolen from Cleveland good" reminds me of the same hypocrisy.

Boy did you people deserve to lose the Colts. You'll lose this Raven team, too. They'll move eventually and this time it will hurt even more because you think it can't happen again. This second time, though, you'll have had it coming.

Put Irsay into the hall of fame. He deserves it more than Modell because he brought a great football team to Indianapolis. Go Irsay!!! He were football would have more class.
