The Frat Boys Who Moved The Colts Out Of Baltimore

[Adonai]

I thought this was a great story.

 

Brother Bill Kynast says he immediately snuck off to an office inside the compound in hopes of alerting the world outside that Irsay's plan was being carried out. He tried to phone up George Michael, a D.C. sportscaster whose kitschy Sports Machine show was just then getting underway. How cool would it have been to break the news to him? Hey, I'm in Owings Mills right now, and I'm moving the Colts!

This has to be an ESPN's 30 for 30 special.

I stopped reading after the first line

Gotta love the best line in the article, which still holds true today:

 

"Indianapolis didn't steal the Colts," says Hudnut. "Baltimore lost the Colts."

Now we know. A decent read.
I had forgotten the Kush aspect of the Elway deal.

And Cleveland lost the Browns, Baltimore didn`t steal them either.

Same author, I guess the new one is just an updated version.

I DO think it could be a pretty cool movie.

 

Comment if you see fit....

 

P.S. For some reason, links rarely, if ever work for me on this forum. I can click all night and nothing ever happens.
