APMaybe Colts owner Jim Irsay simply wants to upstage the preseason games.
Roughly 24 hours after Irsay drew plenty of attention by tweeting repeatedly about a mystery trade during Thursday night’s exhibition games, Irsay is at it again during Friday night’s phony contests.
Here’s the latest: “I can bring u NFL Manos to the edge of the water,but I can’t throw you n,that’s called tampering..but FOE REEL…the sh*t is HOT,STAY TUNED!”
It’s accurate that Irsay can’t disclose the target of his team’s affections without running afoul of the league’s tampering rules, a rare exercise of discretion in a somewhat indiscreet Twitter account.
Irsay said Thursday that the Colts would be giving up a high draft pick for a “serious vet/starter” and that the owner had his check book ready, which implies that the vet/starter wants a new contract.
If we had to guess, we’d say that the Colts are talking to the Steelers about a trade for receiver Mike Wallace.
We otherwise will continue to stay tuned, especially since Irsay’s latest contest is based on whether or not a trade is finalized by Monday. Abby’s dart board!

Does any other owner act this retarded, er, “mentally challenged”????
Is Irsay an old multimillionaire or a 16 year old girl?
I wonder how does his family understand what he says
It will be interesting to see if the Brown or Eagles are involved. Reason – Ryan Grigson and Tom Heckart are products of the Eagles Front Office and Andy Reid.
No one that old should ever use “foe reel”.
stop tweeting you queer face
Does the NFL drug testing policy include owners?
This buffoon is the turd that just won’t flush. He is the Chad Johnson of owners. Constantly seeking attention from anyone and everyone. Born on third base and thinks he hit a triple.
Would we even be able to tell if his Twitter account had been hacked?
I suppose a complete sentence might raise eyebrows.
mojo in indy?
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Ah, Jim Irsay…the James Dolan of the NFL…(at least Irsay has a championship, though)

wow…a grown-ass man just said that…what’s the world coming to?

Classic case of using too much dope in prep school
i like irsay, hes fun to listen to.
I bet the blockbuster trade could involve a DB named Revis… just saying.
Like father like son..
I love it when rich white guys tweet like a rapper….
Nothing screams “knucklehead” quite as well….
i hope it’s for real too. i can’t believe they are bringing peyton manning back.
Patriots fan here maybe Wes welker is a possibilty hate to say it
I be panicking as well if I had spent a fortune a team that drafted 1st.
The joke’s on Irsay…the Seahawks were going to cut T.O.
It’s bad when a owner uses twitter more than his players…
My bets on Welker not Wallace.
Love the born on 3rd base thought he hit a triple comment.
You couldn’t explain Irsay any better then that.
I love all the Irsay bashing…the man owns an NFL football team and you own Madden 2009….One day that created player with your name but looks absolutely nothing like you will be somebody…until then PFT….
it’s not Wallace!
I bet Irsay will be glad when the “ganksta” that stole his phone gives it back. It’s been a while now…
I’m not near as embarrassed for Jerry Jones after reading this.
Stay classy irsay
Rumor coming out of Indy is the trade is for Vontae Davis…no word on what round pick they would be giving up. Guess Irsay is a huge fan of Hard Knocks.
I love this guy!
Irsay is awesome. keeps are ticket prices NFL low with no contracts or licensing agreement and has not raised them in 3 years. Willing to pay his players and always trying to make a winner.
What the hell is wrong with this guy? Does he not realize that he’s an owner, and not a player? The employers shouldn’t act as ignorant and classless as the employees.
Good lord, what an embarrassment this guy is.
It seems hes just like his daddy with either a drinking or substance problem. Colts fans must cringe every time the guy speaks or tweets.
“I can bring u NFL Manos to the edge of the water,but I can’t throw you n,that’s called tampering..but FOE REEL…the sh*t is HOT,STAY TUNED!”
Admins…. Can we start a PFT readers Poll?
So what is worse?
Al Davis and his overhead projector (RIP)
Bud Adams and his use of sign language
or
Jimmy Irsay and his Twitter account?
Drunkard…..just like Daddy was
C’mon, he’s not that old! Look at his hair color! There’s not even any grey! *sarcasm font*
I have yet to here any talk about Wallace and the Colts in Pittsburgh.
I just wish Rob Lowe would break this story already.
Irsay must think his sh*t don’t stink.
my guess, C williams cb Ravens( Pagano ex Raven d coordinator)
He gives vikes 2 first rounders for AP!
Cromartie and Greene to Jags for MJD then Colts give first round pick to Jags for Cromartie and Greene
Indy fans better hope he’s not trying to trade for Wallace. The Rooneys and Colbert would take a buffoon like that to the cleaner’s.
This just in Irsay has been referring to his FANTASY FOOTBALL team this entire time…

Obviously you didn’t get the, “Born on third base and thought he hit a triple analogy”.
So far his only discernible talent seem to be his ability to build the worst team in the NFL when once in a generation QBs are available with the first pick.
As a diehard Colt’s fan, I say this with as loud and clear as possible.
SHUT UP AND QUIT TWEETING!

Awwwwwwww is da widdle Colt fan upthet?
He said “Foe REEL” foe as in jacksonville jaguars… Anyone know a disgruntled runningback that they might have available?
Correct me if I am wrong…. but didn’t Welker sign his franchise tag?
If so, doesn’t that mean he specifically can’t be traded?
Even if he was ‘allowed’ to be traded…. can the Colts actually trade for him given they do not have enough cap room to absorb him and his franchise tag (roughly 10 million)?
For Bowe, same issue.
On the other hand…. Mike Wallace is what… roughly 3 million this year? He can get his future contract later on as the Colts are gaining a TON of cap space after this season (Freeney, Clark, Manning deals coming totally off).
Seriously, how good do the Kraft and Mara families look when you read this crap?
This guy rules… who wants the typical boring business man owner…. This dude is basically how my dude would be if the “Owner” feature were still in madden.
Settle down people. You guys cry like 12 year olds cause an owner Tweets.
He’s my hero….knows talent and how to engage the fan base…tweet on brother

You forgot Rooney and Mara family was preeminent until he went after his competitors for not practicing collusion. He ruined his family legacy of greatness then.
With most owners being random elderly windbags who quietly sit in their Ivory Tower… I find it interesting to have a “colorful” owner who talks and acts like one of the players sometimes.
While it is big business… IT’S JUST A GAME after all. Irsay is a very entertaining owner to follow. Call him names or a “16 year old girl” or whatever you want, but owners like Irsay and Cuban are very unique in pro sports.
It’s either Welker, Wallace, or MJD. No way Irsay is hyping this up over Cary Williams and Mike Jenkins, two average CB’s.
I think his account may have been hacked by a mentally challenged rapper. Nicki Minaj, did you hack Irsay’s account?
It OBV cannot be Wallace because Irsay already said that the deal could happen this weekend, and Pittsburgh already said that Wallace won’t be signing until Sun night or Monday
I swear they need to ban people from Twitter.
I think all those years of being a junkie really messed up his head
Gotta laugh at the comparisons of Irsay to a teen girl because of his tweets. You sound like 14 year old girls who are jealous of another girls curly locks.
Just because irsay owns a football team, and I dont own madden (sucks) doesnt make him any less of a dbag
I think he’s worse than Rex Ryan.
As a fantastic writer, you, I would expect you to take a closer look at the wording of Irsay’s message. FOE REEL. FOE. >>>>In my opinion FOE would mean rival. Like a close rival, such as the Jaguars. And they have only one disgruntled player with a contract issue, MJD.
I hope it is Wallace! First Plex, then Santionio. When will the stupid receivers learn. Well, maybe it is the team trading for them??? The players got their Super Bowl ring with the Steelers now I will go get paid by somebody else. Look how the teams have done with them once they have joined them. Don’t forget Randal El went to Washington for big money to.
Please take Wallace!!
He’s such a jack”’
Ironclad lock of the year – irsay is back in rehab within two years
I know that plenty of sources have said that Wallace isn’t the guy that the Colts are after, but he would make sense. Wallace wouldn’t be the teams number one WR, because that role already belongs to Reggie Wayne. From his years in Baltimore, Chuck Pogano knows what Wallace is capable of, and so does Bruce Ariens, which is why Irsay may be willing to give up a higher pick for Wallace.
Sorry Jim… Ace Ventura pet detective is retired.
