No, itsn't.

As I previously stated, there would be no Indianapolis Colts had there not been a Baltimore Colts in the first place. You can thank the city of Baltimore for being stupid enough to threaten Robert Irsay with eminent domain, but the team that you now know and love would not exist in its current form had things not played out the way that they did.

The city and the residents, not the team.

It seems that you are the only bright spot in that place.

I'll add this

Fuck Unitas, Fuck Jones, Fuck Morral and anyone else who played for the Colts before 1984. They had nothing to do with the team coming to Indy.... If I ever buy the Colts all those fuckers names are coming out of the ring of honor.

I'd say fuck Bob Irsay but he did outsmart the city of Baltimore. The only person from before 1984 that I am OK with is Jim Irsay....

I'm sorry, but I don't share your sentiment.

It's a free world.... I wish they would have just renamed the team when they came here. Then we wouldnt have to hear about the Browns

And Jim Irsay's favorite Colts team ever was ........ the 1975 Baltimore Colts.

In 2009, Irsay held a reunion at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis in which 39 of the 53 surviving members of that 1975 Colts team showed up at Lucas Oil Stadium for that reunion, including Bert Jones, Lydell Mitchell, Mike Curtis, John Dutton, and Fred Cook.


You can read all about it in this book.








Here are 2 of Irsay's guests at said reunion (Bert Jones and Lydell Mitchell.)

Easier for you to say. I was a Baltimore Colts fan that needed a team to follow. I never jumped ship when the team moved, so I have lived through all of the lean years just like you. I like Irsay just believe in the shoe, and everything it represents from 1953 and on.

Unitas, Berry, Ameche, Moore, Donovan, Marchetti, Parker, Jones, Mitchell, Carr, Dutton...why would you not want to accept legends like this?

I have never been a Baltimore fan..... I was a Steeler fan before the colts moved. Hated the Baltimorons
