"We have reached agreement on a new lease and a future stadium, and we'll be here until 2050, or until we win a Super Bowl, whichever comes first." -- Jim Irsay
That's all we need to hear. Or at least words to that effect. Irsay can alter the sentence structure, add his own verbal flourishes, pregnant pauses and rock allusions, but the sentiment must be the same.
Until we hear those words, the Colts go into 2003 as lame ducks.
Until we hear those words, the harsh suspicion will linger that the Colts might be going to Los Angeles.
How can anybody assume the Colts, whom Irsay hasn't committed to Indianapolis beyond this coming season, will remain through the rest of the lease?
How can anybody be inspired to invest in season tickets for a team that may not be here in 2004, or 2006 and beyond?...
