Name the 5 players. 9. Last year when Payton Manning made his 11th Pro Bowl appearance (or was selected to appear), he tied another player for the most Pro Bowls by a Colts player. Who was the player he tied? (Hint, it was NOT John Unitas). 10. When Robert Irsay decided to move his team from Baltimore, he narrowed it down to 2 cities to move to. Besides Indy, what was the other city that lost out in getting the Colts? 11. The Colts lost their very first postseason game as the "Indianapolis Colts". Who did they lose to? 12.

The Gipper Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Bob got questions 2, 3, 5, and 11 correct and was close on Qs 1 and 7 By the way, here is something that you may not know. In Baltimore, at Ravens games, they refuse to refer to the Colts by their name, either on their PA announcements or on their scoreboard or anywhere else in that stadium. They will only refer to them as the "team from Indianapolis". The Colts have gone back to play in Baltimore a few times and have always been referred to that way, never as the Colts. That included on their scoreboard where they are just referred to as "Indy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
