wdm1219inpenna Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Courtesy of wikipedia.org, here is the reason why the Colts' currently have 0 Super Bowl Trophies...The Colts' Lombardi Trophy from Super Bowl V is reportedly in the possession of Georgia Frontiere, owner of the St. Louis Rams. Frontiere's late husband, former Colts' owner Carroll Rosenbloom, swapped franchises in 1972 with Rams' owner Robert Irsay but managed to keep possession of the Super Bowl trophy by "borrowing" it and simply neglecting to return it. NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle authorized a replacement trophy for the Colts; ironically, the Colts lost possession of this trophy in 1986 when, as part of the legal settlement following the Colts' move to Indianapolis, the replacement trophy was awarded to the city of Baltimore.Just thought this was interesting as I came across it yesterday when doing my annual odd Super Bowl fact researching tour...Enjoy the game fellas & ladies (if there are any who post on here, seems there are none)Bill McD.

But, you are not,I repeat ARE NOT,going to take the Lombardi Trophy from Baltimore.Yes...but now that your have both your own team and trophy, wouldn't it be nice to give the one from Super Bowl V back to the Colts? (Or the Colts could chat with the showgirl to get it back).Or was the Ravens' trophy FedExed to Cleveland as part of the Cleveland Plan?

Luigi74 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Does the trophy normally stay with the owner or team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smith03 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Does the trophy normally stay with the owner or team?I guess the owner unless it is included in the sale of the team. Funny that the Rams just don't give the Colts the trophy. Unless if part of the court deal that if the Rams give back the trophy the city of Balt would get it. Of course what would stop the Colts from just creating a 3rd Super Bowl V trophy? Just say NO to gray facemasks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it kinda was her team but not really... Georgia is one crazy lady...Georgia doesn't have it, either. Rumor is that it was lost when Carroll was still alive and hasn't been found since... my guess is someday it'll be discovered in the home of someone who "found" it...

IceCap Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Regardless of where the original is, the city of Baltimore should give the replacement representing the Colts' win in Super Bowl V back. Baltimore needs to move on. They have a new team, and new Lombardi Trophy of their own. Let the Colts have what is rightfully theirs.
