Absolution.
Baltimore has redeemed itself before Unitas at long last. In response to our removal of Indianapolis from the playoffs, the Unitan Council of High Priests has declared the Grudge against our former team and its city officially over. No longer must we Baltimoreans refer to that team by such epithets as "the Betrayers" and "the Mayflower Compact" if we wish to remain pure in the Golden Arm's sight. We may now call that team by its name--the Colts--if we so choose.
I have mixed feelings. After so many years of indoctrination in bitterness and hatred toward the Colts, I don't think I can set aside the Grudge easily. Nevertheless, in a League that seems more and more fractured by the minute, I take this development as a beacon of hope. If even Ravens fans and Colts fans can unite, perhaps we can forge a brighter future for the League after all.
Next week, we play Peyton Manning. In Denver. I don't expect to win, but hopefully, we can make a game of it.
