I couldn’t believe this season as a teenager. Although the Colts lost in the playoffs in 1975, it was a season for us in Baltimore that brought back the feelings of the days of Unitas.

Not forgetting The CFL Years Memorial Stadium led The CFL in attendance Both seasons and there was talk that Baltimore was picked to host a Grey Cup if they had stayed in The CFL but The Ravens came.

Grew up in the Carolinas and my older cousins got me addicted to this team during this time period as I was in elementary school. Bert Jones was my first idol that I worshipped dearly as a 6,7,8 year old! I am waiting patiently for my Colts to move back to Baltimore. Indy Ravens -Baltimore Colts switcharro!!! What , what’s wrong w that?!?

Had he stayed healthy, there's no doubt in my mind Bert Jones would have been among the top 10 greatest quarterbacks of all time. He was that good. Sadly, a lot of the younger fans in Baltimore today have no idea who he even was.

For cripe sake he took down Csonka like he weight 170lbs. The dude was a beast and considered one of the best MLBs in the game and that was when Butkus and Nobis played as well. Its a crime that he's not in the HOF. Offenses and players feared him. Cripe , his own teammates were afraid of the dude.

The Baltimore Colts and the Baltimore Orioles were the reason that I moved to Baltimore from Norfolk, Va. I have many memories of the city and the people in it. I made a lot of friends with the players from both teams. 😊 I miss the city and the many friends that I made while I was there. Go Baltimore! 😊

John Unitas was simply the greatest of all time and anyone who ever saw him play knows it. Yes, he was a Field General as some have described him but he was more like a Surgeon precisely dissecting defenses like nobody before or after him. Before his retirement, his understudy, Dan Fouts, asked John for the best tip he had. John replied, "Aim for your receivers' nose. That way, they have to catch it." Remember, it was in the days when the skill players only had one bar on their facemasks.

I was a big Johnny Unitas fan!!! I consider him to be the greatest QB ever!!! QB’s were not protected in any way back then. He took a lot of abuse!!! I met him on three different occasions at shows and he would remember me. My wife told him that I took down the kids pictures and put his up! He laughed!!! He was one of the nicest people ever!!! God Bless him!!!

It is appropriate that John Facenda' s last commentary was in my opinion one of the best Super Bowls ever 1983 Raiders vs Redskins. It was the first time a wildcard team had made it to the Super Bowl that was t he Raiders they were the underdogs the Redskins were the polished favorites led by Joe Thiesman the Raiders had Jim Plunket a veteran who's time had come and gone but came back for one last curtain call . As the game proceeded it looked like the odds makers maybe were right and the momentum seemed to be going for Washington but late in the third something happened the Raiders reached deep inside and found pride and the play that demoralized the Redskins was the Raiders had the ball the snap the handoff to running back he came around right and maybe would've gained a few but he reversed hes field deep way to deep to run the other side, i couldn't believe it are you kidding your gonna get creamed but the sea parted and he ran forever i had a hart attack the whole Raider team woke up and this fairy tale had a good ending the Raiders did , as always, what the weren't supposed to do that season with there season record make it to the playoffs then actually win .
