I remember very clearly the news showing the Mayflower trucks hauling ass out of Baltimore, taking all of the equipment and belongings of the former Bmore Colts and heading to Indiannapolis. It was a very somber day indeed. We lost a football team because the owner wasn't satisfied with the city's refusal to kiss his ass. In the end, he left for a city who met his demands and we had no team untill 1994, when Baltimore acquired the Baltimore CFL's for one season. That's the Canadian Football League, for those that don't know. We finally got a new NFL team in 1995, but the team wasn't necessarily "new". We inherited the former Browns, aptly named the Baltimore Ravens.
I honestly do not know of any rivalry between Pittsburgh and Washington. It has always been either the Baltimore Colts and the Washington Redskins or, for the last 20 years, the Ravens vs. the Steelers.
At any rate, despite my teams horrible record this year, I will not be a fair weather fan. I will support my team during all games - both good and bad.
Last night's game was exciting and an excellent 4th quarter left me cussing and then happy lol. It was a bi-polar game, for sure!
I remember that, that was a dick move by the owner. But still relevant today. If the fans make them rich, and especially when they get tax payer money to build the stadiums, they have no fucking right to hold a city hostage and threaten to move them if they dont get free money. I don't hate any business, I simply wish any big business would stop shitting on the societies they get rich off of.
