Interesting note, the Ravens scoreboard normally lists the nickname of the both the home team and the visitors, except whenever Indianapolis plays in Baltimore.  Then the scoreboard reads Ravens vs. Indy.  The fans of the Baltimore Colts will never forgive the Irsay family.  The horseshoes, the colors, the memorabilia belongs in Baltimore.  At least Modell left the Browns legacy intact when he moved.

*In 1983, the Colts drafted John Elway with the #1 pick.   Irsay traded Elway to Denver without consulting the Colts GM, who had already reached an agreement in principle with John Elway.  To my dying day I will believe the Colts would have never left Baltimore if Elway had never been traded.  A lot of guys agree with me: Unitas, Mackey, Matte, Marchetti, Curtis, Moore, Smith, Berry, Orr, Jones, Mitchell, Carr, Chester, I could go on and on.

Random question. Did you serve in the Navy by chance?
