Yes, Eminent Domain involves compensation to the victim. Irsay would have walked away with cash that the Baltimore/MD taxpayers would have recouped by selling the team to someone they liked better. And, IMO, that's really what it was all about. The city and the fans hated the guy for various reason and they wanted their storied franchise in the city but him out of the picture. It was a power play but its tough to control somebody who actually owns the team. And, IIRC, other football teams in the NFL already had much better stadiums, where BALT Memorial Stadium may have been the worst in the NFL. Superdome, Silverdome, even Pitt and Cincy's multi use stadiums were newer. The national media portrayed Irsay as some evil selfish capitalist oppressing the hard working righteous people of BALT, who stole their team in the middle of the night. That was the national media narrative that sold the most copy, go figure. When in fact, although he was an unlikeable guy, there were legitimate business reason for his decisions, number one being that the city of Baltimore failed to compete with other cities on stadiums, and also demanding Irsay separate from the team. Overreach, IMO.

I know Kiper has a job there...but there's no way the Colts are drafting anybody at #21. That pick is headed somewhere. 1st round mock drafts this year will be largely irrelevant to Colts fans as it relates to non-QBs.

Kind of explains why he broke the new of his retirement thru the San Diego press too.

I don't think it's based on Stafford...as much as Ballard needs a long-term-ish plan for QB. I suppose if Eason was crushing it...that might have changed things. But I always thought that Ballard was going to get aggressive and creative this offseason. Running it back with Rivers wasn't the move. That said...I want to trade for a QB...but it appears that Stafford is very likely now. I am fine with that...IF Ballard brings in at least one top tier pass catcher. Ideally, the Colts sign ARob and then draft a TE on Day Two.

I had not heard of it. Thanks for the information.
