No, Xen, no. The Colts stay.
*LOL* sorry but the Colts should never have left Baltimore, they had good fans there, even when they were waning in the early 80s it was more than alot of teams (like the Buccaneers and Cardinals) had. The owner got greedy and skipped town in the middle of the night for a new stadium.
Thats why I hate it when people say Modell was greedy, at least he had the decency to let Clevelanders know they were losing their team. People in Baltimore went to bed with a football team and woke up without one. They were then promised the next expansion team if one doesnt relocate there first. 10 years later several teams threaten to move there but dont, and the NFL expands to Charlotte and Jacksonville, both places are now struggling NFL cities (well Charlotte rebounded this year).
Another intresting what ifs,
What if after 1995 the Colts team got to stay in Indianapolis, but the name Colts and the history up to 1983 had to go back to Baltimore, or at least the teams history? You still have your NFL franchise and Baltimore has its football history back. (Who thinks of Johnny Unitis and thinks of Indianapolis anyway?)
or
The Bills owner sells the team to an Indianapolis business man (or just flat out moves the team) to Indianapolis in 1982 (this nearly happened, the owner looked at the Hooser dome with intrest)
Another one yet, What if the NFL allowed the Eagles to move to Phoenix in 1984/85? Would the Cardinals stay in St Louis? Would Phoenix have more intrest in football? Who would move to Philadelphia?
