LOL. Then Baltimore steals the Browns. Pot, meet kettle.

BTW, where will the Chargers be playing in 5-10 years?

Re: GO FREAKIN' GET IT!!!!
 

FWIW, back in 2005 ESPN did a piece on Drew Brees on their Sunday Morning Countdown pre-game show. They identified Brees as the only other quarterback other than Peyton Manning (at that time) who had the level of experience and competence to call the offense from under center. For Marty Schottenheimer to have that level of confidence in any player speaks volumes about Drew's ability as a field general.

The perceived knock on Drew has always been his size and his arm strength, but I've seen Drew make pinpoint passes and arc some deep bullets with both the Chargers and the Saints, so all of that is just talk. And even if it was true, a strong arm and prototypical size has not saved the careers of Jamarcus Russell, Jeff George, or Ryan (oh, the pain) Leaf to name a few. There has to be an added correlation of grey matter and toughness to go along with rocket arm and laser passing.

True but Cleveland got EVERYTHING back.
name
colors
heritage
Jim Brown's records are still in Cleveland
They went for a whole 4 years without football as opposed to 14.


Indianapolis took all of that and Johnny Unitas's records are not in Baltimore.
Had they changed their name and let Baltimore have everything back having to do with the Colts, I'd respect that but that's not what happened.
I don't know why Houston didn't do the same thing with the Oilers but that's their decision.


As for the Chargers, they got the green light to move forward on a new stadium in Downtown San Diego. Hopefully, that works out.

Re: GO FREAKIN' GET IT!!!!
 

I agree. If the Saints were facing the Jets, Ravens, Patsies, or any of the other AFC teams besides the Chargers... I'd still be rooting for them.

Though my hate for the Ponies adds to it!!! :mrgreen:

Re: GO FREAKIN' GET IT!!!!
 

We will be glad to add our negative Karma to yours, directed at the ponies. The accumulation of it all should prove to be their undoing.

Re: GO FREAKIN' GET IT!!!!
 

I think that Houston couldn't use the same color scheme because Tenn stole it from them. Then after that they put the team name to a vote in Houston. The people spoke that it should be "Texans". Which doesn't speak highly of Houstonians since that is the worst team name in the entire World and Mars.

Re: GO FREAKIN' GET IT!!!!
 

LOL. I see what you're saying about the name but I think it worked for Houston. I was a huge Earl Campbell fan as a kid. He's got a restaurant in Houston. Warren Moon had some great seasons with the Oilers as well.

Though you're probably right. Bud Adams probably wouldn't let them have the colors, name and heritage back even if they wanted it. That's sh*tty!!!
Same goes for Jim "The Drunk" Irsay. He didn't care where he was as long as he had a bottle in his hand!!!
A Beautiful thing... he used May Flower moving vans to move the Colts out of Baltimore at 2:00 am in a blizzard. A local rock station called "98 Rock" in Baltimore sent May Flower moving vans to his funeral.

Re: GO FREAKIN' GET IT!!!!
 

Wrong. Indianapolis did not take any of it. The Colts organization, the rightful owners of all of it, took it with them when they escaped a city that was seeking to steal control of the franchise. None of the Colts fans in Indianapolis care about the Baltimore teams, Baltimore players, or Baltimore records.

For the life of me, I can't understand how someone wouldn't be over to get over that in 25 years. Must be a pretty sad life to stay that bitter.

Re: GO FREAKIN' GET IT!!!!
 

Correct... Indianapolis didn't take it, The Irsays did!

I don't expect anybody in Indianapolis to care about any of this but you will ALWAYS be seen by everybody else as a fake franchise with Britney Spears type of fans.

As for the 25 year thing... it wouldn't be any different in a REAL football city if the same thing happened. Though if the Ponies ever leave Indianapolis, it won't matter. Their fake fans will just jump another band wagon.

You are the Backstreet Boys of NFL!!!

Johnny Unitas was a REAL quarterback and his monument is in Baltimore.


But most important of all... My Chargers own the ponies!!!
