When you diss my town you incur my wrath—–Never to be forgiven are the following
1–The Indianapolis Colts—for those of you who say let bygones be bygones–go to the Hall Of Fame and look at Unitas throwing to Berry in the Indy wing–sorry Peyton…..Jimmy Irsay–I ain’t buyin this good guy crap
2- The Boston Red Sox—the fans make me wanna puke–Nothin but Yankee wannabees
3-The Steelers–no explanation necessary
4- The Hershey Bears–you have to be over 50 to understand why
5-Paul Tagliabue–Build a museum
6-Jim Grey –for his insipid interview of Jeffrey Maier
7–Announcer Bob Trumpy who once said “I despise the whole concept of the Baltimore Ravens. . . . This team will be hated everywhere outside of Baltimore. . . . Art Modell’s actions were criminal. . . . I see nothing but gloom and doom for this franchise. . . . I wish the Ravens high winds and muddy fields; I wish them empty roads to and from the ballpark; I wish them cold hot dogs. I wish them nothing but bad.”
8-Jim Rome—his comments on Bmore cannot be forgiven
9–John Elway–refusing to come to the Colts–maybe the reason the Colts escaped

jimmy irsay had nothing to do with the colts leaving balto. he was 24 when the team left. trumpy was correct about modell. and don’t use the escuse that cleve wouldn’t build a ne stadium for modell because bal refused to build a new stadium for irsay. let’s face it, memorial stadium was filthy..the worst bathrooms, terrible concessions, no parking, obstructed seats. what modell did to cleveland was as bad if not worse to what irsay did to balt. cleve was drawing 80,000 a game. when irsay left town teh colts were drawing 25,000-30,000 a game. i’d make the same choice elway did. why would anyone want to play for bob irsay. i’m sure you were never critical of steve francis when he refused to play for vancouver. red sox fans had to endure 90 yrs of frustration plus the curse of the bambino. the rest is fine. jim rome and jim grey are both putz’s. there was a real dislike with the hershey bears. gene ubriaco. didn’t noted sports writer jimmy cannon take cheap shots at balt during the 66 world series. if you’re from balt you hate irsay, you hate mayflower, you hate the yankees..you can hate edward b williams. he destroyed the orioles farm system and the whole orioles culture…though his cryptic threats to take the team to washington got balt camden yards. thank goodness the city didn’t hire the same guy who designed the jones falls and the civic center to design the ballpark
