what are you talking about? How did Indy “not sell out playoff games” before Peyton…they didnt even have any!!!!! Get a freakin clue before you post. Every game is sold out now and has been for quite some time

He has to be loving all the furor he created with just a couple tweets.
He’s toying with the media, something I bet most people in the public eye would like to do at one time or the other.

Hell – Favre would fit right in seamlessly! Sign him up!

Peyton could still be hurt and come back. The refs will make sure nobody even looks at him with a mean expression…

———————-

It still begs the question as to how Peyton hurt his neck? I mean the refs wouldn’t let anyone touch him last year either.

His second rehab is 2003ish. Does not matter if it is alcohol or drugs or both, same rehab. He has 2 brothers who ‘work’ for him to keep in out of trouble. They also get to work for the Colts (helps the front), for fun.

Polian is flipping: Bill you gotta get a new blackmail thing on him to keep your owner quiet.

No other owner ‘acts’ this way. He is just a spoiled rich kid.

Love to see Casey and her sisters to own the Colts, and for her to be the Polians’ boss. Bill does not believe in girls/woman in the NFL.

Drunken fool of an old man sent his son to Indy in a stupor, then called him the next day and asked what the hell he was doing in Indy, that he told him to go to Phoenix.

“No you didn’t Daddy — you told me to go to Indy.”

“Oh,” said Daddy.

And the NFL allowed it. Shame on them all. Indy couldn’t even sell out playoff games. It took one of the greatest QBs to ever play (Peyton) to save the franchise from having to move out of Indy.

Imagine the thunderous silent vacancy at Lucas Oil stadium when Peyton retires and Indy starts putting up 2-14 records like Irsay teams normally do.

He went through rehab for painkiller addiction in the 90s, and by all accounts is clean. He’s out there, yes, but not a drunk like his father. He’s only run one of the best NFL franchises of this generation (Pats and Steelers in that group), 10 straight playoff appearances, 7 12+ win seasons, two SBs in the past 5 years winning one, and he’s HANDS OFF, unlike his father, who used to come into the locker room and yell at players. Eccentric, yes, a drunk, no. Stop smearing a man you know nothing about

Brett Favre looked good much of the time he was in Minnesota because of the talent around him. Also, the Vikings’ defense was pretty good 2-3 years ago. I just don’t think Favre can make the people around him better anymore.

With Favre at 90%, Colts are 6-10.

With Manning at 70%, Colts are 9-7.

Peter King was last reported to be in the fetal position spanking his monkey over the mere mention of Brett Farve’s name in an NFL story not written by King…

I think he was referring to brad childress in the tweet, not favre’s first name. chilly did go down and get favre after all…

yes he did go down and beg him to come back…in 2009. In 2010 it was Jared Allen and Hutch ‘n the rest of the boys that went down and spent the weekend talking him out of retirement…all in all where did Favre get Brad Childress? Into a higher tax bracket after a 2009 contract extension and fired as coach of the Minnesota Vikings in 2010…just like he got Mangini fired as the Jets coach.
Be afraid Indy…be very afraid!

Brad isn’t a misspelling of Brett which is an epic reach from a site known for epic reaches in drawing its own conclusions on subject but is a reference to BRAD CHILDRESS. The guy who went down and recruited Farve or sent people to recruit Farve the last two years with the football media cataloging every moment of it.

How anyone could miss that is beyond me.
