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 so eloquently does to me.

~ ~ ~ Baltimore Colts Mania News ~ ~ ~ August 5, 2013...Art Donovan passes away at 89 years old. As the Baltimore Sun stated, “The defensive line in heaven just got a lot better.”
October 8, 2012...Johnny U’s last NFL record falls as Drew Brees throws a TD in his 48th consecutive game. It’s tough to accept seeing as how he played 32 of his 48 games indoors, the league’s rules overwhelmingly favor the QB, and well, it’s one less reason for today’s fans to recall or even learn about players from Unitas’ era. My sentiments exactly: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/oct/4/daly-johnny-unitas-record-a-victim-of-todays-nfl.
