Jim is a much better owner than his father ever was, both in Baltimore, and in Indianapolis.

That said, the Colts' move out of Maryland was much more the fault of the city of Baltimore's than it was Irsay's ...... there have been numerous bad NFL owners over the last 50 or 60 years, but Robert Irsay was the ONLY ONE of those bad owners who was threatened with having his team taken away through eminent domain. If Irsay hadn't packed up and left Baltimore that very night in March of 1984, the city of Baltimore would have taken possession of his team.
