Jim Irsay comments

Jim Irsay: "We've changed our model a little bit (meaning after Peyton).... We made the playoffs 11 times, but 7 out of 11, we're one and done."

Insult to Manning?

Dungy says, "He (Irsay) is making this personal."

I have no doubt Manning will respond with class, meaning he won't say much.  He'll do his talking on the field. 

Looking forward to watching the game. 

Pats/Jets at 1:00.  Colts/Broncos at 8:30.

Irsay's an idiot. The only thing that keeps him from being known as the biggest joke of an NFL owner is that he's actually pretty good at what he does. I think the Broncos have it in their power, if they choose to, to really, REALLY throw a beating on the Colts. And this pinhead wants to go and piss off PM.  I de-twittered him, or whatever you call it, a while ago because the good stuff he might come out with every once in a while was overshadowed by the mountain of nonsense.
Peyton won't say a word about it, but Fox ripped Irsay pretty good on the radio. For Fox, anyway.

Holy shit.  You do Twitter?  I've never touched it.

If it wasn't already, this is now a MUST WATCH game.

He sees himself as a true wildman.  A rich wildman.  Maybe if I ask, he'll loan me a few bucks.

Oh yes.

Oh yea. I've never posted anything myself, my life isn't that compelling, but you follow people involved in things you like, sports or politics or whatever, and it's great for breaking news.

I'm afraid I'd get buried in it, and won't come up for air.  Maybe I'll try it at some point.

Stuff like that. Follow someone who covers what you're interested in and you get steered to stuff you might not have come across otherwise.


Good point.

How so?

After a series of tweets defending himself Tuesday night, Irsay took to Twitter on Wednesday to say he meant that if the Colts had given Manning better special teams and defense, they could have won more than one Super Bowl, instead of asking the quarterback to do too much.


This is a shot at Brady? 

Polian maybe.  But Polian said Irsay was wrong in his facts and in his opinion.

This is from his original comments;

"We've changed our model a little bit, because we wanted more than one of these," Irsay says, flicking up his right hand to show his [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] XLI championship ring. "(Tom) Brady never had consistent numbers, but he has three of these," Irsay adds. "Pittsburgh had two, the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] had two, Baltimore had two and we had one. That leaves you frustrated.


Well, how about this interpretation as well.  Its just as plausable and makes perfect sense.  His comments were a shot at Dungy, and a compliment to Belichick.  After all, Belichick only had this average QB to work with who "never had consistent numbers", but yet he has three of these [rings]. 

So if Irsay wants to take Dungy down a few notches because he should have accomplished more than he did, while at the same time elevating Belichick's accomplishments which were accomplished with an inconsistent, average QB, then I'm with you, I'm good with his comments too.   LOL.
