@The Wayward O - Yeah exactly. Some accountability would be nice. Yet somehow Bucknor is still getting a paycheck calling major league games. Why? There's seriously no one better for the job? Really?

originally posted byAndrewAnybody here watch the Baltimore Colts doc last night? It's weird because I was born in 1985 after the move and I've been living in upstate New York for my entire adult life so far, so my connections to the Colts are flimsy at best. But it all feels so mythological, like watching Noah built his ark, or George Washington at Valley Forge, it's hard not to be absolutely fascinated and stunned and emotionally scarred and awed by the whole thing. Plus can you see some city like Los Angeles doing something so weird as keeping the Baltimore Colts Marching Band? It feels like just another piece to the puzzle for me in figuring out what exactly makes Baltimore the great town it is in my head.

I saw it, though tit was very well done. I'm always drawn to anything about the Colts and Baltimore. I was born when they left, but was only a few years old, so I have no memories of them in Baltimore. Talking to my brother about the documentary this past weekend, he remembers watching the trucks pull out on the news and how mad he was, even being as young (8-10). I was thinking while watching, the whole band and keeping it together is a very "Baltimore thing" to do. I don't know if anyone else would have done that. I have the book William Gildea wrote about Baltimore and the Colts, but have yet to read it. I really need to get on that.
