Well Bosco you need to get over it. They haven't been the Baltimore Colts for 22 years and the last time I looked Baltimore had a pretty good Cleveland Brown's team in residence at their stadium. Geez you guys won a SB with your transplanted Browns team and you still can't get over the fact that your fans weren't supporting the Colts in 1984 when they left.

I think you're overplaying it a bit and assuming a lot. All I said was that in my mind, they are still the Baltimore Colts. I'm 46, and for a long, long time in my life, they were from Baltimore. Name association, that's all. I'm not a Colts fan, but I do want the Colts to win the Big Game because I like Peyton Manning.

Yep... in my mind, the Colts are still from Baltimore, and the Cardinals are still from St. Louis. Thank God the Raiders went back to Oakland.

Fair enough, but please understand that many of us in Indianapolis get real touchy about people calling us the Balt. Colts. It happened twice on CBS during the Colts-Ravens game. You would think we were the only team to ever change towns. And of course anyone who knows anything about Baltimore knows they have someone else's team, but can't let go of the past. I'm 55 so I also remember the B Colts and the LA Rams, StL. Cardinals, Houston Oilers/Titans, Boston Patriots, the Cleveland Browns turned Ravens, Oakland/La/Anaheim/Oakland Raiders and the two NY teams that now play in NJ.
