Thank God. That primadonna is solely responsible for the Colts leaving Baltimore in the dark of night. He's a selfish punk in an entirely different way. Brought down a whole franchise out of ignorance.
Hold your palominos! ELWAY is "solely responsible?" Did Elway load up the Mayflower vans in a blizzard and lead a convoy to Indiana?
WADR, you're full of it. Robert Irsay, following the lead of Al Davis, took a thriving franchise from its loyal fans for greener pa$ture$. He should saddle the blame alone. But what Irsay did couldn't have been so awful, because when Art Modell pulled an Irsay and moved the Browns from the largest NFL venue to Baltimore, the city shamelessly licked his toes and coughed up public cash for a new palace.
No municipality should be extorted for taxpayer cash, and I say that as a diehard fan of the San Francisco Giants, who were given up for dead and gone after Bay Area voters denied them publicly-funded stadiums three times. The Giants ownership finally built their own jewel of a ballpark, and now draw 3 million in attendance annually; it used to be headline news if they broke 1 million.
Quit whining. At least Baltimore got a Super Bowl victory out of it (with a QB that couldn't shine Elway's shoes). That's more than Indianapolis has gotten.
