@riotusa1 Georgia Frontiere man, she was bad news. Carroll Rosenbloom fell in love with what was a pretty face and she got him to swap his beloved Colts for the Rams, then Rosenbloom mysteriously drowns and she took over, fired his son and moved the team to Anaheim and later St. Louis...bad bad news

i give respect to Baltimore as a city when they embraced Canadian football for 2 years..... they obvious just love the sport of football.

The Baltimore Colts were once a proud team with a tradition of winning and a very loyal fan base. Sellout after sellout. Winning season after winning season and always a contender for the championship.

And then two worthless drunks showed and destroyed this proud franchise. Lied about moving and tried to sneak out of town under the cover of night and a snowstorm. The Irsay's just sicken me. Sorry-assed lying drunks.

What would Baltimore residents do if they saw a Mayflower Moving Truck in the city?

@centuryrox You are so right centuryfox. Everything you said is true. The only thing that isn't mentioned enough is how the Maryland State Legislature played politics with the Colts while they were here in Baltimore.

@drcadam Baltimore waited year after year while the NFL kept on by-passing Baltimore for an expansion team. The NFL is controlled by a bunch of lying Ba$terd$. Baltimore played by the rules and got shit on on constantly by the NFL. They or should I say we finally did what we had to do to get another team. Cleveland got their stupids Browns name and records back. What the hell would Baltimore want with that name and records?

@PBKittyfriend Baltimore is fanatic about the Indy Colts now, especially after 12-11-11.

You just gotta love the way the Colts management completely depended on Peyton Manning to be the teams savior. I'm from Baltimore and still like the Colts. It's just a shame that the Colt's name could not have stayed here and Indy could have picked a new and original name for their stolen team. I think Peyton is washed up and Indy will be waiting for a long time for a Super Bowl appearance.

@DoctorDelaware That's right. The least that the NFL and the city of Indianapolis could have done was to give the Colts name and records back to Baltimore where it belonged. They got no class!
