Frankly, I wasn’t sure the Colts were capable of any community outreach more tone-deaf than this summer’s prescription drug trade-in, which was an open door for every smart aleck who remembered their owner had a bit of a prescription drug issue.
But they may have just topped themselves.
Colts coach Chuck Pagano didn’t really have a good explanation for last night’s fake punt, but he does have his weekly radio call-in show tonight, and they want you to know he’s looking forward to hearing from you.
The poor interns in charge of the Twitter account have since been bombarded with suggestions, most of which include some variation of “What the (thing that rhymes with Chuck)?”
@PaganoShow @Colts @1070thefan do you consider the fake punt a success because no one died (that we know of)?

@PaganoShow @Colts @1070thefan was the name of that play "bag of hammers"?

It’s probably going to get worse before it gets better. But that’s possibly true of the Colts season as well.
