Sweet Lew, sneaky quick and sneaky smart, and great to have “back” has correctly identified my loyalty to the BALTIMORE Colts, who, alas, are no more. And yes, Luther Starnes took to the airways on WBAL, blasting the City of Indianapolis and the now rotting Robert Irsay for raping the Charm City of its beloved Colts. You are also correct in asserting that any excuse to serve Crabcakes, Soft-shells and Natty-Bo, would be utilized by the Comfort Brothers as this is a superior cuisine. As a Baltimore Colt fan for rooting for the Jets, I have a take on the Colts-Jets situation that I believe is probably shared by other old Baltimorons. Taking you back to January of 1969, in a peculiar way for many Colt fans the Jets did not defeat the REAL Colts! These were not Johnny U’s Colts. Earl Morrall was the Colt QB for the entire season, winning the league (NFL) MVP and taking the Colts to the Super Bowl. Unitas tore a muscle in his arm in the last preseason game and by the time he came back Morrall and the Colts were on a roll and Shula refused to jinx the dice, although the fans wanted his head because of it. Come Super Bowl, Morrall wasn’t getting it done and Shula put Unitas in just before the beginning of the 4th Quarter, too late. He got us our only touchdown, but too late. So, it’s kind of like this year’s Longhorn team, which probably doesn’t have the same hatred of Alabama they would have if Colt McWhat’shisname would’ve played. Plus, I was also a Namath fan and felt like he beat Morrall, God’s own Backup, and Shula, who quit Baltimore himself by following the money to Miami. In fact, I think he stayed in his Miami hotel room immediately following the game and came out only to coach the Dolphins. I can’t wait to hear all the dumbassed comparisons of this year’s matchup being compared to that one–Unitas vs. Namath = Manning vs. Sanchez–which is stretching reality in every way possible. That said, Go Jets.

C’mon Jimmy!. While I agree with your Jets pick you must have full disclosure and let everyone know about your deep dark and repressed memories of the day your beloved Baltimore Colts smuggled their belongings out of Balitmore in multiple Mayflower trucks utilizing several different highways and left for Indianapolis. I would like to hear about how Luther took to the air and ripped every politician for this debacle. I expected you to regale us with memories of old One-Nine Johnny Unitas your idol and the greatest QB ever! I thought I might even get an argument that you would be serving Maryland Cuisine if the Colts win because they are really a Bmore team. Alas, I guess it is all too painful to remember. Please note the Jets play in NEW JERSEY so you may want to add some Princeton mucas free veggie crudite to the menu.
