During the fall of 1983, I was asked to go out and write a feature on Baltimore Colts rookie linebacker Vernon Maxwell. Little did I know that I would not cover another pro team in Baltimore for the next 13 years. On March 28-29, 1984, there was professional anger because the Colts left their training facility in Owings Mills for Indianapolis on a cold, windy and snowy night. The personal pain was even greater because, like all Baltimoreans, I had grown up with Colts legends such as Johnny Unitas, Lenny Moore, John Mackey, Mike Curtis, Artie Donovan and Bobby Boyd.
