MIKE MAYOCK - SHAME on YOU!!!

[AustexColt]

I live in Austin Texas, and what I just witnessed from Mike Mayock was not only UNPROFESSIONAL but insulting to the Colts Nation.  Professionalism means showing good manners, and that does not include insulting the Zoo nor the Colts Management decision to using the Zoo or its orangatan in making their selection. Most insulting was how he disrespected the Irsay Family, who is paying part of his salary on the NFL Network and allowing him to cover the Combine.  I hope the NFL Network execs addresses this swiftly and makes sure this does not happen again. Football is a sport but it is also entertainment business, and what Mayock did was sheer arrogance with his demand.

[Indyfan4life]

I didn't see it. What happened now?

[twfish]

Agreed I just wanted him to shut the bleep up. Like get on with talking about the players.

He was bashing the zoo.

[Wyldhorsefan]

Yes and because of this not one metion of the Colts last two pick. NFL Network put talks on during both picks. Nfl network does this to the colts year after year always taking commercial breaks or talking to players or coaches during the colts picks.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I didn't see it either but nothing surprises me regarding any of these analysts on the NFL Network or ESPN. Every chance they get they bash our organization. It's been like that since Deflategate.

[braveheartcolt]

Rude, but come on, the whole zoo thing was lamer than an arthritic flamingo with gout.

[jvan1973]

He hates zoos I guess.  

[antipatriot]

He said that the orangutan making the pick was disrespectful to the player......and I couldnt agree more the NFL needs to stop with this ridiculousness.  Grover Stewart deserves a little more respect than a gimmick like that...If that was your son getting picked using an ape I think you would be a little upset.  This is just more of garbage that the NFL continues to do its football not the circus.

[Wyldhorsefan]

If I hear the Eagles chant one more time I'm going to puke!

[2006Coltsbestever]

By the way I thought we had an outstanding Draft. Love todays picks, Mack looks scary good and Banner is a freakin giant that we can plug in on the O.Line. Guy is 6'9 360 pounds!

[tvturner]

He wasn't a fan of the Zoo.

Not really anything to get upset about

[JColts72]

They suck nfl network. Spent 15 minutes on steeler qb pick.

[antipatriot]

Oh and welcome to INDY Grover cant wait to see you play for the horseshoe

He was dissing the Zoo, he didn't seem to like the Orangutang making the picks.  It wasn't that big of a deal imo, Mayock and Eisen were just having fun at the Zoo's expense.

I agree with mayock. He wasn't bashing the zoo..he was bashing the idea of announcing the pick from the zoo because it was taking focus off the players.

[Surge89]

What a big eye roll.  Get over your self and your everyone is against Indy mentality.  I actually completely agree with Mayock that the use of the Zoo is a big ol fat middle finger to the kid being drafted.  Biggest day of this young mans life and people are paying more attention to damn zoo than the prospect.  The air time should be for the players and their special moment of entering the NFL something they have been working on for a large portion of their lives.

[BrentMc11]

I really think he was trying to be funny, but came off as an ***. 

 

This is is a huge orangutan conservatory that is well respected throughout the US and beyond. 

 

He was insensitive. Riesen egged it on. Not a really good idea for Mayock. He talks enough.

100% with this. 

[ztboiler]

Mayock feels the significance of the life moment that it is for these mid to late round kids getting drafted.  I don't think he liked a monkey making the picks rather than a human announcing their name during one of the biggest events of their lives.  

 

In that respect, I can't say I blame him.  It was poorly thought out by the Colts.

[PrincetonTiger]

This is why I rarely watch NFLN 

 

 The statement bashing the zoo was the last straw

It was better than the Walking Dead spoof the Rams did

Agreed

[aReggie7]

I don't get NFL Network so I didn't actually hear what Mayock said but did read the text.

 

I can't say I disagree. I have come to dislike day three of the draft. Between the gimmicky announcing of picks (whether it be at the zoo or spaceship) to the announcers being three picks behind it just is not good tv.

You are being a total ***%#+*!!!!!  Mayock was too!!!!

And?  Somehow both of these are acceptable?  Dumb arguement for a disgraceful act.  These kids have literally poured their lives into this.  They may not be first round picks but they are joining the NFL a feat not many people can achieve in their lifetime.

Yep lol it was meant for humor , wasn't a slap or degradation of anyone from the Zoo

 I'm the offender here huh?  The one supporting the actual event and not the people enjoying the circus that has nothing to do with the NFL. Yea it's totally these young kids fault for a couple of organizations making their most important day a sideshow for their own publicity.  Lol always trying to blame the victims in this society is ridiculous. 

[Mr.Debonair]

Y'all love to cry about Colts treatment. It's very simple as much as I like the team, they clearly are a boring, a small market, and middle of pack team. This is why there isn't much coverage

Disgraceful act? Good God. Nobody can do anything anymore without getting criticized for it. Who cares about this? Mayock needs to stick to analyzing the Draft and talking about the players instead of going all PC and playing Mr Politician.

[1959Colts]

I thought the monkey was great!

Did we say the organization purposely attack these players? No we didn't but it is a disgraceful not very well thought act that takes away from a moment for these kids.

 

Inagine yourself as a parent waiting to see your child's name called and instead of any coverage on your sons amazing 2-4 years of play it's just a camera fixed on a monkey and someone making fun of it.  I'd be irate.
