  • Irsay v Manning

    Gotta believe that after the remarks Irsay made about Peyton, Manning is gonna go into that game with a chip on his shoulder and look to dump a shitload of points on the Colts. My book has the over @55'. No way this is gonna stay under the number. In fact I believe all of Denver's games have gone over the number this year.

    almost looks to damn easy doesn't it Raven........I used statistics from both teams, simulated games 4 different ways (came out with 4 entirely different) TOTALS.

    They Range from 58 to 72 points a game.........show Denver winning by , 8, 10, and 7, and then INDY winning by 4............


    I too like the OVER..........probably gonna lay off this one myself........something strange to me......weird feeling.......

    good luck to you though

      Mark Twain said "America is a place where you don't have to be very smart to become very wealthy."

      Irsay is the latest proof that he was correct.

      Waaaaay over in this one! Hell, Peyton may go over 55 by himself.

        I think Jimmy is a lot like his old man in that both had an addiction problem. I know this from when his father owned the Baltimore Colts. He was a falling down drunk who made a fool of himself every time he opened his mouth. Looks like the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree.

          I know his father is the guy that brought Baltimore way down after the Unitas years. Where did Art Modell fit into the picture? Was he an Irsay partner?

            Modell relocates to Baltimore (1996)[edit]

            Main article: Cleveland Browns relocation controversy

            While the City of Cleveland, Ohio agreed to improve Municipal Stadium, Modell issued a public moratorium on discussions relating to the stadium issue or the future of his franchise. It was during this time that Modell entered into secret discussions with the State of Maryland to move the franchise to Baltimore for the 1996 season. The announcement of the move occurred several days before the public referendum on the extension of the sin tax that would fund the improvements on Municipal Stadium as Modell had originally requested. Modell wrote a letter to Cleveland's mayor Michael R. White and Ohio's governor George Voinovich saying that the passing of the referendum may not be enough to keep the Browns. Modell had lost $21 million in the previous two seasons.[1] Modell also wanted that information to be made public. Commentators have speculated that the timing of the announcement was to cause the referendum to go down in defeat and thus allow Modell to make the case that he was not receiving the public support he needed to remain viable in Cleveland. Nonetheless, the referendum was passed by a wide margin. Modell was assisted in the move by Alfred Lerner, who would go on to become the new owner of the reactivated Cleveland Browns franchise in 1998. Modell's move returned the NFL to Baltimore for the first time since the Colts left for Indianapolis after the 1983 season. The reaction in Cleveland was hostile. Modell had promised never to move the team. He had publicly criticized the Baltimore Colts' move to Indianapolis, and had testified in favor of the NFL in court cases where the league unsuccessfully tried to stop Al Davis from moving the Oakland Raiders from Oakland to Los Angeles. Numerous reports of quotes from Modell circulated stating that he would not visit Cleveland during games between the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns because he feared for his life and physical being.
