The Colts have been cursed ever since they left Baltimore on the Mayflower in the dead of night

Sort of the way the Browns did?

"Sort of the way the Browns did?"

At least Baltimore originally tried to play by the rules, but when Tagliaboob told us to "build a museum", they then went in to plan B - and that is to "take what you can, when you can". That's the sorry state of the NFL today. You can thank Irsay and Al Davis for that.

Al least Baltimore had the decency to give Cleveland back the name, colors and uniform unlike other cities.

Did Cleveland get to keep the team name, its records, its legacy? Yes to all of the above. We Baltimorons did not. Raymond Berry license plates in Indianapolis is an absolute travesty.
