The Bucs with Brady is probably the only team that actually can beat KC just because of Brady and their high flying offense. Their D is also playing much better now than it did in week 12. Both tackles being out for KC is also huge.

Lol. This belongs in the Favorite Gifs thread. Losing the Colts is a sentimental issue for Baltimore Colts fans, many of whom later became Ravens fans. The Ravens have won two Super Bowls and for many, it is not still enough to erase the scar from the Colts' leaving. The irony is that many of them do not feel bad that the Browns moved their team to Baltimore. They will tell you that at least the Browns kept the team name and history in Cleveland. Having said that, I recall when Red McCombs of Texas wanted to move the Vikings to San Antonio. I'm not from MN and don't live anywhere near there, but I would have been upset had they moved. I am not sure why, but I would.

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, Kingdome; 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, where he steals 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.
