Your 1st stop for everything about the Baltimore Colts, Johnny Unitas, Lenny Moore, Mike Curtis, Art Donovan, Jim Parker, John Mackey, Raymond Berry, the 1958 NFL Championship, video and audio files, and the Baltimore Colts Marching Band! This is the most popular Baltimore Colts site (since the summer of 1996) and will brainwash you about the greatness of the Baltimore Colts, just as my father used to so eloquently does to me.

October 8, 2012...Johnny U’s last NFL record falls as Drew Brees throws a TD in his 48th consecutive game.

My sentiments exactly: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/oct/4/daly-johnny-unitas-record-a-victim-of-todays-nfl.
