Indianapolis Colts
The Indianapolis Colts is a professional football team in America that comes out of Indianapolis, Indiana. They are members of the National Football League. The Indianapolis Colts hold the titles to two different Super Bowl Championships, the most recent was two years ago when the Indianapolis Colts defeated the Chicago Bears in the Super Bowl XLI. The Indianapolis Colts have also to date won five championships in the National Football League.
The Colts were originally based in Baltimore, Maryland. They relocated to Indianapolis, Indiana in the mid-eighties. For the next thirteen years after their relocation, they took home wins in ninety out of the two hundred twenty-eight games that they played. These wins included winning five games in the playoffs.
After the death of the team’s owner, Robert Irsay, ten years ago, control of the team fell to his son Jim Irsay. Since then, the team has made history in the league by winning twelve games in over five consecutive seasons.
One of the first moves made by Jim Irsay when he assumed control of the team was to fire the coach Lindy Infante and hire Bill Polian to run things. Bill Polian hired Coach Jim Mora. Perhaps one of the best decisions made for this team was the drafting of NFL legend Archie Manning’s son Peyton Manning from the University of Tennessee in 1998.
Last year in 2007, the Indianapolis Colts finished the regular season of the NFL with thirteen victories and only three losses. They won the title of the AFC South.
