The Colts came to basketball country in 1984. For more than 30 years, the team has laid claim to the hearts of sports fans all over the Hoosier state. With controversial stars like Dickerson and George and Hall of Famers like Faulk and Harrison, the Indianapolis Colts have built a fan base that bleeds blue. From Bob Irsay to Jim Irsay, from Jason Belser to Bob Sanders, from Bill Brooks to T.Y. Hilton, this is the story of the love affair between Indianapolis Colts and their fans. Perfect for the die-hard tailgater and the casual fan alike, Blue Blood covers the history of the Colts from the Midnight Move to Super Bowl glory. With more than 50 pages of new content, Blue Blood has been updated to provide context and commentary on both the end of the Peyton Manning era and the beginning of Andrew Luck's career.
