<P> A fierce competitor, Rosenbloom had a profound interest in his team succeeding . Describing his commitment to the Colts and his experience running a franchise, Rosenbloom told Sports Illustrated magazine: </P> <P> "After the first year in football, I found that of all the things I've ever done, this is the thing . There is nothing more rewarding . You have everything wrapped up in one bundle . You meet much nicer people than you do in business . You meet the public, and you must learn to look out for them . There's no place where your word is more your bond than in sports . You'd never find 14 men who deal as fairly with one another as the 14 owners in the National Football League, particularly after some of the things that have gone on in business or on Wall Street . You play a part in the lives of young men, and you help them grow . And then every Sunday you have the great pleasure of dying ." </P> <P> However, while Rosenbloom loved the Colts, due to issues with the Baltimore Memorial Stadium and the city's officials, Rosenbloom wanted to leave Baltimore . In the next offseason in 1972, Rosenbloom completed a historic tax - free swapping of teams with new Los Angeles Rams owner Robert Irsay . When Rosenbloom left, he received recognition from his players . Colts linebacker Mike Curtis said, "I hate to see Carroll go . He was a damn good owner . It wasn't the coaches who made Baltimore a winner for 14 years ." </P> <P> By the 1972 season, Rosenbloom assumed control as the majority owner of the Rams . </P>
