OT More Football, Help Patriots

What seems like yesterday, but was actually 20+ years ago, I was a big fan
of the Baltimore Colts, the Team of Johnny Unitas, Bert Jones, Lydell
Mitchell, and briefly Joe Washington. Then Irsay made out like a bandit and
crept out in the middle of the night for the then new dome in Indianapolis
taking a historic franchise with him.

Fast forward to now, I move to Indy, the colts are threatening again to
move, the team points to early home games where the local blackout was
instituted because they could not sell out as proof Indianapolis could or
would no longer support a football team. This time it was old man Irsay's
son crying.

Lo and behold the Colts win some games and find themselves in the AFC
championship game this weekend. This whole town is now Colts crazy when
three short months ago, no one really gave a crap.

Please New England wipe that silly smirk off of Manning's face and kick some
ass this weekend.

I knew when the Ravens won the Super Bowl that any hope of Baltimore
reclaiming (or wishing to reclaim) the "Colts" name was gone forever. Until
then, I had hope. I wouldn't root *for* the Colts because I wanted Irsay to
burn in Hell, including financially in this world if possible. OTOH, I
couldn't root *against* them, because they were still, after all, the Colts,
my team.

Back here in Charm City, however, it is, undeniably, the Ravens now. The
Colts and their legacy are ancient history. Whoever that team playing in
Indiana might be, it ain't the Colts; not *my* Colts anyway. So f*ck 'em.
Go Pats.

I liked what the NFL did when the Browns moved out, the franchise formally
know as the browns may be in Baltimore (do I have that right or did they go
somewhere else?) but Cleveland got to keep their franchise identity and well
Baltimore has one more super bowl championship than does Indy.

Whoever that team playing in
Indiana might be, it ain't the Colts; not *my* Colts anyway.

As they say around Baltimo They should have renamed them the "Pilgrims"
after they left Batlimore in the mid of night aboard the Mayflower (Van Lines).

As a Pats fan forever ( razor blade boy can kiss my a** after what he did to us
here in Ct.) I thank all you Baltimore Colts for your support...............
