| How Did The Colts Leave Baltimore |
A Match Made in Football Heaven (or Hell?)
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away (okay, it was Baltimore), there was a football team called the Colts. They were like the Brad Pitts of the NFL - everyone loved 'em. But then, their relationship with the city started to get a little rocky. It was like a classic case of "he said, she said," except instead of who left the toilet seat up, it was about who was gonna build a new stadium.
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
The Midnight Move: A Bold Strategy or a Sneaky Exit?
Enter Robert Irsay, the Colts' owner, a man with a penchant for dramatic exits (or so it seemed). Let's just say, he wasn't exactly winning any popularity contests with the Baltimore folks. Feeling the heat, Irsay decided to make a bold move - or, perhaps, a desperate one. In the dead of night, like a bunch of football-loving ninjas, the Colts packed up their cleats and helmets and hightailed it to Indianapolis.
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
Can you imagine the scene? One minute, Baltimore is dreaming of Super Bowl glory, and the next, their beloved team is gone, vanished into the night like a pack of midnight snacking raccoons. It was like a real-life plot twist that would make M. Night Shyamalan proud.
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.

The Aftermath: A City in Shock
Naturally, Baltimore was not amused. There were tears, there were tantrums, and there was a whole lot of "How could you?" directed at Irsay. But hey, life goes on, right? And in a surprising turn of events, Baltimore eventually got its own NFL team, the Ravens. So, it's like they traded a heartbroken ex for a hot new boyfriend.
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.
To this day, the Colts' midnight escape remains one of the most infamous moves in sports history. It’s a tale of broken promises, shattered dreams, and a whole lot of drama. But hey, at least it gave us a good story to tell, right?
