Colts-related Books 

Post#1 » by Nasty » Tue Nov 27, 2007 7:30 pm

Can anyone suggest any good Colts-related books that deals with this current Indy Colts era?

I searched a few places, but couldn't find any.

Any help is appreciated.

A bunch of people have been raving about the Dungy book. Also check out:

Wasn't there a book about Bill Polian or written by Bill Polian? I forget.

I think that could be an interesting read.

A good Colts book yet to be written: Idiot's guide on how to move a team
First the federal government borrowed money; then gave the money to Bank of America; then I borrowed some of that money from Bank of America and gave it to the federal government; then the federal government gave the money back to Bank of America.

I highly recommend this book, very insightful. Bug your local library to get it for you. It really goes into very good detail about how the players and teams prep for the draft, and also exactly what role agents play.

I read some of Dungy's book and I wasn't moved by it. Then again I'm not much for motivational-type products.

Modell screwed Cleveland over, but at least he didn't take the name. Colts kept everything.

What about the Rams? Then of course there's that up and down thing with the Raiders.


Look I get Baltimore's dislike for the Colts of today but it just seems rather hypocritical considering you guys turned around and did the same thing to Cleveland....

Damn right the Colts kept their name, they owned it. In hindsight, I wish the Colts would have came to Nap with a different name and logo. However, the team belonged to Irsay and not the city of Baltimore. He could do whatever the **** he wanted.

I got so tired of hearing about the "curse" and all this other bs for Ravens fans so I made this youtube video that made the B-more online paper.

Ah and let's not forget the faces of Ravens fans after last years playoff game...
