The Colts were established in 1953 as Baltimore's NFL franchise. The quickly established themselves as contenders after signed quarterback Johnny Unitas, one of the greatest in the history of the game. With Johnny U, they won the NFL championship in back to back years in 1958-59 and lost in the title game in 1964. The Colts continued their dominance in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In 1968, they headed to the Super Bowl and were heavy favorites to win the title. However, they choked under pressure and lost to the Jets in stunning fashion. The Colts made up for their shortcomings in Super Bowl V. In Unitas's last year as a starter, the Colts beat Dallas for the title on a last second Jim O'Brien field goal. Up and down throughout the next decade, the Colts moved to Indianapolis in 1984, to the shock of players and fans alike. Owner Robert Irsay secretly made the relocation deal, and information of the move didn't leak to the media until the day after the franchise had moved. Playoff berths were sparse in Indianapolis until quarterback Peyton Manning and receiver Marvin Harrison joined forces in the late 1990s, becoming an amazing duo and leading a high powered offense. While offense has led the team into the playoffs 6 times in the last 7 years, defense has consistantly been a problem. Also, Manning's performance seems to slip in the postseason, and this proficient passer has yet to reach football's title game. In 2005, after having the best record in football, the Colts were bounced in the division round in an odd game against the champion Steelers.
"Vanderjagt for the tie. That kick is up, it has the distance, but it's no good. And it is over. The Pittsburgh Steelers are moving on, and the Indianapolis Colts see their season come to an end. Mike Vanderjagt, the game's most accurte kicker, chokes on the big stage."

Can take place in a variety of situations - but usually at a party, gala, event, etc. It is when a man is receiving any sort of sexual pleasuring to his penis and right as he is going to blow his load, someone behind him opens the door and startles him, causing him to turn around quickly and shoot his hot cream onto the face of the person who opened the door, aka the "interruptor."
Drew: "Hey man get me a beer from that back room."
Steve: "Ok."
As door opens - Steve gets a hot cream to his face.

Get the Indianapolis Colts mug.Another name for Interstate 465, the beltway (ring freeway) surrounding the city of Indianapolis, Indiana. Approximately 50 miles long, it passes through four cities (Indianapolis, Lawrence, Beech Grove, and Carmel). Most of its length is in Indianapolis.
The freeway is also known for motorists' general ignorance of the speed limit (55 MPH). A majority of traffic moves at 70 MPH or faster, garnering this freeway this nickname.
I-465's north and east legs are also characterized by severe traffic jams rivaling those of much larger cities. This is exacerbated by the high number of semitrucks/tractor-trailers that traverse the freeway at all hours of the day.

I love fooling out-of-towners into thinking that the Indy 500 consists of 10 laps around the Indianapolis Motor Beltway.

Get the Indianapolis Motor Beltway mug.regardless what other people who call the city "IndiaNoPlace" say, the capital of Indiana is still great. It can't be that bad, as its population has grown steadily, meaning people aren't leaving. The city currently has a population of over 780,000. That's bigger than St. Louis, Omaha, Milwaukee, Louisville, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and EVEN Boston, folks. It has a great skyline in my opinion, and it is growing in the "clean" industry area. For example, they now have several pharmaceutical and software companies. In addition, the city can be reached throught a day's drive by over half of the United States population. The Indianapolis Colts are great football team (They beat the Packers before), the Pacers rock, and IndyCar is way better than that stupid NASCAR. Oh yeah, Indianapolis is not full of a bunch of stupid Midwestern hicks, there are thousands and thousands of successful people within the city with various careers ranging from medicine, industrial and technological, education, etc.
