Perhaps Irsay uses a scrambler on his tweets…in his case, it’s called Thai Stick.

“It’s good to see that regardless of background, education or income, most tweets are an illegible mess.”

Either you can’t read or you have a poor comprehension of what illegible means. Maybe the word you were going for is quite applicable to yourself..

This is what happens when your team is built around one player and Father Time comes calling for him.

Odds are good that Peyton Manning had produced his last sequence of high level play at the NFL level. Colts will be a much different team without him and much worse.

Irsay:

-1 for inheriting a team

+1 for communicating directly w/ the fans, and not just hiding behind your wall of money

Though I’m confused as to why he’s trying to reassure the Seahawks fan base about the Manning situation.

Leave Daddy’s little man alone. His entitled simpleton schtick is endearing to Colts fans.

I have a feeling that Peyton Manning might be out for a while. and by a while I mean at least half the season.

Where are all the rabidly pro-owner commenters from the lockout days now? You know, the ones who described the owners as heroes of free trade and good business sense, fighting the good fight against the marxist player’s union.

I’ll answer the question: they’re back at their desks at nfl.com.

This post really pisses he off! Not because I’m from Baltimore and he’s an Irsay, but because I LOVE Steak n’ Shake!

Don’t f— with Steak n’ Shake, Rosenthal!

The phrase ‘our finest hour’ goes back 70 years to the British evacuation of Dunkirk in the darkest hours of WWII.

For Irsay to attempt to appropriate the phrase to describe the plight of his silly football team is beyond pathetic.

But not really surprising

This is funny…because it’s the Colts owner and the subject is Manning’s health…or lackthereof. I’ve been saying it…let the Painter Era begin!!!

Polian has done a pretty good job of getting guys around Manning that play well for them…but having to bring in Kerry Collins at the last minute does not speak well for developing a contingency plan…and at the least, trade bait for other teams.

As far as Irsay goes…well, he’s from that era regarding the song lyrics. I find it kind of funny that he’s embraced twitter and like the fact that he interacts with the schmoes of the world wide interweb.

Porp’s line about believing the quote more from Ed Harris was great.

To all of you saying Irsay is a disgrace, a moron, etc., you are all buffoons who just need to shut the hell up. To those of you thinking he is posting cryptic messages, you have to remember that a couple weeks ago he was posting lyrics about being down in Mississippi which started ridiculous Fayre rumors. Most of the lyrics he posts are just random, some are to answer peoples questions(which are blatantly obvious), and some are for his trivia. So many of his posts are just a part of a game in which you can win tickets, hats, jersey, and other memorabilia. I post random lyrics all the time myself, they’re just not from 60 year old songs. Lol.

This man is a fool. Any high profile guy like Irsay shouldn’t go anywhere near a twitter account. It’s never been so easy to say stupid thing to the world, and it’s never been harder to take them back. Idiot.

The lesson is: Never drink and tweet. Have a designated tweeter.

The “finest hour” thing actually originates with Winston Churchhill in World War II regarding the Royal Air Force givin’ their lives to save your people, Rosenthal. Have some respect and some sense of history, huh?

Skins, tweeting has a character limit so most people abbreviate. When you listen to Irsay talk he isn’t Chris Johnson or anything. He’s normal sounding.
