HELP WANTED: Please Post on Indy Star Board

**TL24x7** · 03-24-2007, 09:28 AM

I have signed on the Indy Star Colts' board as TraditionalColt, trying to appeal to the reasonability of the posters there as it relates to our efforts on coltsheritage.com. To my surprise (perhaps I'm being naive) there was a significantly more amount of push back from the posters than support. After 19 posts (I had to stop at that number) I don't think that I got very far. I ask that you sign on there and try to keep the true spirit of the site and petition alive. Do as you see fit but I would suggest that you keep in mind that you are representing Baltimore and our collective desire to restore our city's NFL Heritage.

Here's the thread: BALTIMORE COLTS

Just got finished reading the replies to the post.Wow,what a bunch of ignorant hayseeds they are.

You think thats bad your should see Scouts Colt site, they are a delusional bunch for sure.

TL, I'm not inclined to go to that hornet's nest.

I'm skeptical there's anything to be gained there besides an exercise in skin-thickening.

Festivus, I hear you! THAT was a lesson learned. I was VERY surprised by the animosity considering they just won the Super Bowl.

I'm inclined to agree with Festivus. Although there are a few posters over there that seem to understand our point of view, they are clearly a minority. I don't think we're going to get anywhere with the rest of those people. They simply don't get it, and I don't think there is anything we can do about it.

I hope that didn't sound too defeatist, but I really think that's just the way it is. They don't understand and don't want to understand.

Well, how would you feel if someone from Cleveland did the same thing to us as it pertains to their former team? You'd tell them to "scram" just as I would. With respect to what you are doing (and it seems to have generated some interest) just let it go and be proud of the team we have today. These constant efforts of living in the past-distant past- are a slap in the face to the current franchise.

I can assure you that I will not let it go!

I can also tell you that when Art Modell moved his team here, I didn't think it was right but the NFL forced us to play dirty and steal a team if you will. But if the fans from Cleveland wanted to restore their city's football heritage by properly classifiying NFL greats like Jim Brown and Otto Graham as Cleveland Browns, I would understand.

We are asking the HOF to do the same. Restore our city's football heritage. Present the Baltimore Colts properly. It's what they owe to the players who desire such a change! It's what we owe to future generations of Baltimore football fans!

The purpose of a museum is to present history accurately!

Well they're not.

I love the Ravens as much as anyone. And I love my home town too.

I will not "just let it go."

And with all due respect, I hope there are more who feel as I do than those like you who don't want to fight the good fight.

Good Tony-

And thank you!
I dig Prulz, but he is just one of the minority who thinks we should 'get over it'. I love his football posts, but on this we disagree.

Give us back our stuff, and we will then get over it.

If I divorce my wife and she takes my Ricky Martin CD, I'm gonna bitch until I get it back.

Most Indy fans dont really get football anyway.

Its not a football town, most people found out they beat NE in the paper Monday morning.

What do you expect from a bunch of hog-sloppers?

I see the petition is over 27,000 signatures now & # 27032 is Bernie Mikasz, formerly of Baltimore & The Baltimore News American who I believe is now in St. Louis at The St. Louis Post-Dispatch. I love his comment "33rd Street still the boulevard of dreams"
