So I treated myself and bought a custom authentic Unitas Ravens jersey via NFL Shop (in Baltimore Purple, not white so people wont think it was a Dolts jersey).

I wore it out last night to do some shopping and other errands around here in Houston. I was in the grocery and I heard a little old lady behind me state in a shaking voice "It's a shame about Johnny". This lady went on to say she used to live in Hampden for 45 years, but had to move to Texas be closer to her kids. She cannot take care of herself anymore and needs her kids help.

She went on with a story about how she met Johnny right before he died and it was a thrill she had been waiting for ever since he was Baltimore's QB.

Before I walked away, she said the two things she wants to see before she dies are the records returned to Baltimore and another Ravens Super Bowl win. :)

Not really a debacle until her son made some shitty comment about how he loves the "true Colts" in Indy and blah blah blah. I feel bad for that old lady she has raised such a retard!

How is that a debacle?

Sounds like a nice encounter.

Read the edit. Guess debacle wasnt the right word. My thesaurus didnt make the move here to Texas.

Well adding the idiot son does change the whole take.

Next time just tell him the "True Colts" wore the colors in the town that named them.

No...inform that twerp that the "true Colts" all ceremoniously took off their old blue jersey's (signifying an end to the real Colts) and put on Ravens purple jersey's for all to see. :patriot:

inform him a real Colt Hall OF Famer (#88) chose NOT to get his HOF ring awarded to him during a regular season game in indy but rather at halftime of a pre-season game in the city where "real Colts" used to play in front of the "real Colts" fans!

A neat thing I've occasionally experienced when I wear my "back in black" #19 Unitas jersey around town is that I'll run into a fan who doesn't go to any games and can't see all of us wearing Ravens/Unitas jersey's at the game sooooo that fan (seeing my jersey for the first time obviously)will come up and offer up a nice comment of appreciation...the last one even thanked me.

You could have asked her quite politely "if it was okay to bitch slap her idiot son?" If she say yes = slap him, if she's not sure = slap him anyway !

One of my prized NFL possessions is the blue cap with 19 on the front.

When people ask if I am an Indy fan.I say check out the back where "Baltimore" is written.

P.S. The Johnny U wristband Ben gave me is my 2nd prized possession.
I just wished I got a Johhny U jersey when I was out there.But money was tight.
