Ok Joes, you all said that the 3 3/4 Joes will pull me in their direction and I will collect them more then the 12" ones I played with in the 60's. I have been reading The Ultimate Guide to G.I. Joe 1982-1994 and I must say I am now interested in collecting the little guys too. I will continue to collect the 12" Joes as well. Yehaaaaa more fun for me.

Saw that CB, funny the Ravens fans were thinking the Browns were/are a joke and not worth being called a rival. Yet they forget the rivalry they have with the Colts is built on the same thing, the team moved and hurt a lot of fans. At least the NFL said the team's name and history would stay in Cleveland, unlike both Baltimore and Indianapolis claiming the Baltimore Colts history as their own.

That's true, was pretty much the same deal that happened to Baltimore when the Colts came here. I don't get why they are still so upset about it now when they have a great Ravens team there.

When the Colts fled Baltimore in the middle of the night, they took every aspect of that franchise with them, not just the players and the name - they took the history of the team with them. It has become a major issue between the two franchises(and fan bases), old Baltimore Colts players are in the Ravens ring of honor as well as the Colts, in the Ravens museum they have Baltimore Colts stuff. Hell when the Colts are the visiting them, they don't even respect them enough to call them Colts, where every other team is identified by their name - in Baltimore they're simply called "Indy". Even though Cleveland got to keep the Browns, the fans feel all the success the Ravens have enjoyed should have rightfully been theirs. For a fan base they was so enraged by losing their team and feeling nothing but disdain for that franchise afterwards to belittle another fan base for feeling betrayed is hypocritical. They are rivals, whether the Ravens want to acknowledge or not.

That makes sense, maybe would have been better had the Colts become a different team altogether and left the history behind in Baltimore. Though, it wouldn't be quite the same without the horseshoe on the helmets.

They can even blame themselves for the Steelers dominance in the '70s since they begged Pittsburgh to join them in the AFC (feeling their rivalry was a key to success) and the Steelers were paid well to change conferences. Money they spent on draft picks with names like Bradshaw, Greene, Lambert, Ham, Swann, Greenwood, etc.
