My final project is a based on an ESPN show entitled "The Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame...". It was a sports show designed to analyze sports decisions made over the previous century in sports. It was also designed to analyze sports stars and owners who were ridiculed and scorned by fans for their sports decisions or playing blunders. This format seemed appropriate for Colts owner Robert Irsay considering the facts of the Colts' moving to Indianapolis. It is a great series that aired from 2005-2007. It can still be seen on the ESPN Classic network. To get an idea of the premise of the show episodes for the show included:
The Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame....
Art Modell for moving the Browns to Baltimore
Bill Buckner for the Red Sox losing the 1986 World Series
Major League Baseball for keeping Pete Rose out of the Hall of Fame
The Edmonton Oilers for trading Wayne Gretzky
The sports fans in the class know how significant these issues continue to be in the sports landscape of the communities involved. I had no choice but to demonstrate that Robert Irsay should not be viewed as a villian in Baltimore. He made the best decision possible for his BUSINESS, the Baltimore Colts.
