How many years ago was it that Daddy Irsay pulled the Colts out of Baltimore? Let's see...Payton was 8 years old. It's time to let it go and get over it.

Even now the Ravens never allow the word Colts to be used on the scoreboard when Indy vists. Yeah, Baltimore will never forget.

Some folks find it hard to imagine the emotional bond that the fans of Balitmore had with the Colts of those days. Irsay, under the cover of darkness, took a piece of the city's soul that night.

I'd feel the same way if they left Indy. How long would that last ? Not sure...

Totally true about the Baltimore Colts. I remember when I was in college in the '80s how many structures/buildings were designed around the Colts logo. Not too many Baltimore fans still care about them. Oh well, I've been waiting for this for 10 years, ever since moving to Indy. I moved out of state this year, and they go to the Big One. Finally Peyton has a shot.
