No excuse.

Believe me. I sympathize. I was a fan of the Hartford Whalers NHL team that was stolen and moved the Charlotte, NC by Peter Crap-monos, a team that was financially viable and profitable.

Hence, I will never root for a team that was stolen from another city unless the move was necessitated by the threat of bankruptcy due to lack of fan support.

In the case of the Colts, Browns, and Whalers that was not the case.

You know ? I am not even upset or angry towards the Indy fans, they deserved a team, same goes for the Panther fans and the Titians.
I am even a Steelers fan, but, how would you feel if you did everything possible to please the powers to be in the NFL and jump through hoops for them, and still get over looked in the NFL expansion ?
The owner of the original COLTS should have never sold the COLTS or traded it to Irsay.

Actually it was Raleigh, NC. Leftwing dump capital of NC(along with Chapel Hill).. Didn't the Whalers actually play in a mall skating rink at one time?
