1. I believe that the Ravens will win that game
2nd in defense in the 2006 NFL season and the RAVENS have a quarterback.

Go Ravens. M & T Bank Stadium will definitely be loud, I wish I could be there!!

Went to the AFC playoff game when the Ravens whipped Denver's ass in 2000, cold, sleet, snow and was up in the nosebleed 530 section. Way better than FedEx field, great Jumbo screens and a loud crowd, total fun.

Hopefully, it will be like the Baltimore-Denver game in 2000.

Ravens - 21, Broncos - 3

2. Balmer's Entire Identity Was Wrapped Up In The Colts
That was truly a time of innocence in sports. The old Balt. Colts and their fans were literally one big community. When that team left, it was the end of the innocence in sports.

3. It was a CRIME. Stealing the Browns was almost as bad. And making taxpayers subsidize it. nt

6. Modell was up front about it!!

How would you like to see your team go in a tractor trailer on a dark, snowy night?

Kind of how like Angelos treats the Orioles

Basically Modell ponered it for a few years until he left Cleveland because Cleveland didn't want to pay for upgrades.

Now MD Stadium Authority takes a percentage of the ticket sales from MD lottery funds, just like any other city.

That's How DC got screwed by MLB, the exact same way.

Those owners don't put up a DIME, Except for the former deceased owner of the Redskins - Jack Kent Cooke, the age when that man paid for ALL of that Stadium with his funds!!!!!

He was a bastard, but at least FedEx field was built on his dime, not the taxpayers.

But it was NEVER RalJohn, MD, it WAS LANDOVER, MD, I know I grew up in the pits of hell there.

The now defunct Capital Centre was about 3 miles from the FedEx Field.

7. Yes, JKC and Joe Robbie paid for their own stadiums. NOT taxpayers.
Modell has such a sweetheart deal, he gets to keep parking and concession receipts also I believe.

4. You mean, those Ravens who used to be the Cleveland Browns?
Yeah, I used to feel really bad for Colts fans until Baltimore stole the Cleveland Browns. Screw them.

5. Let the Colts come!!!
Edited on Tue Jan-09-07 09:01 PM by smtpgirl
I for one, watched Johnny Unitas at Memorial Stadium, being a MD native & all. I watched "lean years" games in the early '70's with my dad.


That was so pitiful watching the Mayflower tractor trailer leaving the state.

I hope the Ravens CRUSH the COLTS!!

The Ravens have a dark side, I hope the Ravens CRUSH the Colts!!
