Sundays with Sacco: Shared legacy

For many of us who have followed pro football for several decades, it is impossible to think of the Indianapolis Colts without focusing on the travels of the franchise and its quarterbacks.

Just about every football fan knows that the Colts began in Baltimore before moving to Indy, but many are not aware of their history before those days.
