The first dvd is fantastic. It covers the history of the BALTIMORE Colts (1953-1983) and should be seen by every football fan. This dvd really shows what the Colts meant to that city, and what a great team they were. By the way, dont miss the extras: they alone are worth the cost of the dvds. In these extras there are excellent bios of the great Colts: Unitas, Berry, Curtis, Mackey, etc., plus a very well done story of the 1967 Colts, who were one of the greatest teams not to make the playoffs, and the 1958 NFL Championship in its entirety, which I think is the best NFL Films presentation of all time, and that's saying something.

The second dvd is very good too, covering the history of the INDIANAPOLIS Colts. Its extras are good too: including the Monday Night Miracle comeback and bios of Manning, Mora and others. I liked it very much, but Baltimore fans can be forgiven for using this second dvd as a drink coaster.

Being Baltimore Born and Baltimore Bred, I can not claim any positive feelings toward the Indianapolis Colts. But my love for the Baltimore Colts continues. I was a little gunshy getting this DVD because I was afraid it would be too Indy based. But NFL Films did a wonderful job of separating the Colt eras. The 65 minute profile of the Baltimore Colts is fantastic. But what makes it even better are the special features, including the OUTSTANDING NFL Films profile on the '58 Championship Game. I will cherish the Baltimore DVD for the rest of my life. The Indy DVD is in the hands of a co-worker who likes the Irsay Colts (that still hurts), so we are both winners.

Disk #1 is great! Worth the price even though the second disk comes as a bonus. If you were ever a true Baltimore Colts fan, you really need to own this DVD Set. It took 15 years to become a Colts fan again as I really enjoy watching Manning. Reminds me of the the days I spent biting my nails over what Johnny U was going to do next. The second disk was OK until they gave a hero's recognition to Irsay, honoring that fat drunken lush in their ring of fame. The best thing that man ever did was die and to honor him as some sort of savior was ludicrous. Disk #2 is a true bike reflector!

this dvd is super great even tho i thought they should have shown more highlights in the manning era and more special features on disc2. but other than that this dvd is great. if they had waited one more year to release this dvd would have had our 06 superbowl highlights but its all good. i luv the highlights of johnny unitas raymond berry lenny moore and other greats. GO COLTS BABY

The Colts are not my team, but as a fan of NFL history in general, I really enjoyed this. The 1958 game, the 1995 season led by Jim "Comeback Kid" Harbaugh, and so much more span both of these discs. For a Colts fan it is a must have, but even for a fan of the NFL one will find a lot of great footage, and a lot of stories that bring back memories of past games no matter what your age is. The only downer to this set is that it was produced right before they won the Superbowl, so it is kind of bittersweet in the final few minutes of the 2nd disc how they speak of "trying to get back there" when in fact, they were just months away from reaching that very pinnacle. Excellently produced, this is one of the better NFL team documentaries I have seen.

I really enojoyed the history DVD, it was brief in some era's but still gave a pretty good draft of important events throughout the franchise.

Having Maddog throttling that fan that ran on to the field during the game, priceless!

I wish it had more content, hint....hint..

This was for my brother who is a huge colts fan. He loves it and actually brought it with him when he was recently deployed. I would definetely purchase more producys from them.

this is a great item for the colts lover collection. it very well produced
and brings back alot of great memories. i got to see footage i haven't seen since the game itself. they didn't have vcr's back then. so thanks for the memories. it is extra special now that they have won superbowl 41.
go colt's. world champions always. god bless.

This is an NFL films DVD. It is excellent. It is a wonderful source of history for those of us that loved the Baltimore Colts. Thanks to NFL films for making this a 2 DVD set. The Baltimore Colts DVD is cherished. The Indianapolis Irsay DVD was buried in the landfill where it belongs. Go Ravens.

This item arrived quickly and in good condition. I bought this for the Baltimore section of the collection. A lot of great action and historical film. I have no interest in the Indy part.
