With roots that go back to 1953, the Indianapolis Colts are one of the
most storied franchises in the NFL. But the modern legacy of achievement
began in 1984 when the Colts arrived in Indianapolis after a midnight
escape from Baltimore. More than thirty years later, the Colts have
forged an identity as one of the most dynamic, power-driven teams in
football today.
Now diehard Colts fans can relive all the struggles, all the passion,
and all the glory of Indianapolis football in this newly revised edition
of Tales from the Indianapolis Colts Sideline. Indiana sportswriters
Mike Chappell and Phil Richards take readers inside the Colts' Indiana
Farm Bureau Football Center; onto the Lucas Oil Stadium sidelines; into
the huddle; and inside the decisions, the strategies, the players, and
the personalities that have made the Colts one of the NFL's most
exciting teams. They pay homage to Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison,
Dwight Freeney, and all the players who propelled the team to its Super
Bowl victory following the 2006 season. And they look ahead as Andrew
Luck and company attempt to bring home another title.
This is the book for football fans that bleed Colts blue
