I miss the Baltimore Colts.
But I don't miss the Charlotte Hornets.

1. I miss the St. Louis Cardinals. The football ones.
I was a HUGH Jim Hart, Conrad Dobler and Terry Metcalf fan. x(

3. I was a Cards fan before I was an Oilers fan. I miss them, too.
My dad's from E. St. Louis, so I'm St. Louis first. Interestingly though, I'm not a big fan of the Rams, which I view as being LA's team, despite the fact that they started in Cleveland.

4. They should move the Cards out of Phoenix and to LA
and just switch the team histories back around so we have the LA Rams and StL Cardinals again.

:D

5. Bob, that's fucking brilliant!

Too bad the nice people in Arizona got strong-armed into a new stadium for the Cards. x(

7. Keep the stadium in the desert, keep the team in Az
and just let the magic of Hollywood convince people that they are in LA

Problem solved.

8. OK, we get these big trailers, see? We hop on I-10, see?
We drop the new stadium in LA. :D

The new joint opens next year. It's almost complete.

9. Oh - I didn't know it was almost done - I thought they just had it
"approved" recently.

Oh well. Give it 10 years. Then my plan will work!

:D

10. Hey, Bob - we'll send 'em back to you...
a case of beer and a couple of hunky male strippers. Tired for them choking every year in the play-offs. Idiots have already announced they're raising season ticket prices AGAIN.
Does Baltimore still want them? I've got moving boxes at the ready...

15. Whatever happened to that guy, anyway?
He was so good at UT. Everyone thought he'd be a sure bet for NFL stardom. Now his little brother's starting for the Giants, and I hear he's playing semipro ball in Indiana somehwere :-)

16. Yep, but it's been a long time since I've seen Diner.
I do remember the part about the original colors of the Colts being gray and green as part of the quiz.
