Revloves around Elway not skipping out on the colts, leads to Isray not moving the team, Modell then moving the browns to Indy. And eventually Elway running the baltimore colts today, and signing Manning.

What do you guys think?

On a side note, elway, marino, kelly all came from the same class, woah?

And finally to some older fans, what the hell was Isray and the GM thinking drafting a player who said before the draft he didnt want to play for them?

Why not take Marino or Kelly? What did the get for Elway when they traded him to Denver?

I am a fan of the N IF L even though I don't like Dave Dameshek and some of the ones I have seen don't make sense but this one doesn't make any sense. Even if Elway would have stayed in Baltimore, considering it was stadium issues of wanting a new stadium, the Colts would have moved regardless of Elway or not.

Interesting...but..Irsay wanted a new stadium...Elway was not going to play in the east....To sum it up..Irsays and Colts are gone and the Ravens are here with one Lombardi in the case and more to come and all is good in Charm City once again.

Well maybe if Elway stayed and helped us, well the colts, get a championship or two, the City of Baltimore may have gave him a new stadium.

No...You had to be around when Bob Irsay was in Baltimore...He said he was not moving the [email="D@#%"]D@#%[/email] team....the rest is history.

I asked my dad the same thing. He simply said "He wasn't"

I like to see an N IF L where they talk if Peyton Manning didn't get cut from the Colts and the Colts kept Peyton Manning and where Luck would have ended up.

[i][font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]And Jim Irsay is just like his daddy Bob... "Oh, I had nothing to do with moving the team." Riiight. Yo' daddy openly told reporters your were the one that scheduled the Mayflower trucks. By the way, Jimmy, LA is building a new stadium... (hint hint)...[/font][/i]

Not really. If the team is doing great with a young QB, I think even Bob Irsay would not be stupid enough to mess that up!
The N if L is actually pretty funny. Dave Dameshek did about 7 or 8 and all but 2 are completely awesome.
I especially like this one: [url="http://www.nfl.com/videos/auto/09000d5d82690713/N-if-L-What-if-Tyree-didn-t-make-his-helmet-catch"]http://www.nfl.com/v...is-helmet-catch[/url]
In the one about what if the USFL didn't fold in 1987, Modell never moves to Bmore. Also, Dave's a Squeeler fan.

Good article on [url="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1065650/index.htm"]Bourbon Bob[/url] Its long but a good read if your are interested in history

Then the newly formed Cleveland Cuyahogas (formerly the Baltimore Colts, who would be back with a new franchise, same name, after 3 years) would've drafted Ray Ray?
