Bert Jones - Colts - 1981 - Weeks 1 and 16 - Receivers

The focus is on the receivers like Raymond Butler and Roger Carr (though Carr went to Seattle before the 1982 season started). Note: Retired players, please contact your representatives about making available for purchase the original broadcasts of games from this era. Or a reasonably priced boxed set of yearly highlights (example, a 1970's Colts highlight film box-set featuring every yearly highlight film from 1970 to 1979 for about $20). The same can be said for the Game of the Week films (box-set) or the weekly highlight films. For example, the complete15 episodes of the 1972 season of This Week in Pro Football in one box-set collection for about $20. These films are wasting away in vaults when they should be in every Colt fans ...
