Well, the team was started in Miami, but moved to Baltimore after it went bankrupt there. Baltimore later got the then old Browns franchise after the Colts had jilted them (or they jilted the Colts first, depending on one's perspective).

I truly could care less about pro teams or pro athletes for the most part these days. Just recalling the 15 Mayflower trucks pulling out of Baltimore under the cover of darkness in 1984...which seemed particularly shifty at the time.

Indianapolis was certainly the best team this year and deserved the title. Congratulations if you're a fan of theirs.

Not nearly as shifty as the Maryland state legislature planning to seize the Colts from their owners under eminent domain.
