But according to the Colts owner, the Rams were a cautionary tale and were paying for it for mortgaging their future to win a SB. Yet they were still a playoff team last year.
In a conference that had a division end in tiebreaker at 9 wins. They had 10 wins. They still have a very good qb (in a year where qbs were hurt) and one of the best defensive players of all time. But those guys will soon be irrelevant. Sean Mcvay is no safe bet to coach longterm either. They did find a diamond in the rough in Puka. He’s very good and he’s in a great system.
So it can have weight and also not impact their direct future. They will be in a rebuild at some point soon, and they used a lot of capital to win that championship, which was no sure thing. It is just a cautionary tale. A lot of teams try, only a few pull it off.
and also- the team on the receiving end of a great deal of that mortgage could win the Super Bowl this year and has an excellent future…

He is going #1, I just have my doubts if he is going to be the next Brady, Montana, Peyton, Mahomes, Elway, or Rodgers like the entire media hyped this guy up to be. A guy named Shep on CBS Radio was saying that Caleb was the greatest QB ever in college football back in October, that did not age well. After Notre Dame put a spanking on them, Shep disappeared. I have yet to see any rookie drafted #1 since 2012 that has even been better than Luck was as a #1 pick. Joe Burrow maybe? I look at Stroud's rookie season this season and by my eye test he wasn't better than Luck either, he went #2.
i don’t know why anyone would claim someone was the best until their career was over… It’s similar to putting Pat Mahomes in the Tom Brady discussion. Yes, he’s had a hell of a start, and it’s fair to parallel at this point in their respective careers, but will he continue winning championships, and will he play until he’s 45? To assume that he will is disregarding the probability of it actually happening. -

I believe I said no way back when, and my answer is still no. And I happen to like Fields and think with the right coaching he still has promise.Not to keep receipts like you, because I don't, and the only reason I was scrolling back was to see what I said (doesn't look like I commented.) But what you actually said was...

I get what you are saying but for how long? Let's say Cooter goes to Philly and they start 0-2 or 1-4, I can see Sirianni stepping in and saying he is going to start calling plays. Then Cooter is stuck doing the same thing on a team, IMO that is going nowhere. Philly should make the playoffs next season only because they play in the NFC. With the way their team is constructed right now, I would give them about a 10% of making the SB. SF and Detroit are way better and aren't going anywhere, Dallas will win that division again despite laying an egg in the playoffs - they are just better. I give the Colts a better chance at winning their division than I do Philly winning theirs.
I agree with this. Much more comfort in Indy as far as job security than in Philly. Next year for the Colts, expectations may be higher with AR, but I don’t see them firing a non-playcalling OC if there is a regression, even with a healthy AR. However, with Philly, as you pointed out, the playcalling responsibility could end abruptly for a coach that is already desperate. The only one I see taking that job is one that is arrogant enough to think they can get them back to a title contender discussion, or one that can look past the obvious hot seat that Sirianni is sitting on. -

I would be surprised if Irsay’s ownership wasn't technically in a trust with him as trustee. Wealthy people use trusts to pass along assets without incurring inheritance taxes.
of course it is.
Lamar hunt laid that foundation.
it’s called a GRAT. -

and set things up for his daughters. I caught that too and put it in my first post because I had the same thought and this pretty much shuts that down. Jim has made plans to insure his daughters are setup to be successful owners
Do you think they have $2 billion cash?
they might have made them owners just for the ability to have a smooth transition when he dies… until the tax bill comes in which may require significant funding and/or selling some/all of the organization to pay.
its like family farms and small family corporations on a larger scale. They keep disappearing because once grandpa dies, it’s just a lot easier to sell to the private equity firms or large corporations that are lurking in the shadows, than to deal with the nightmare that is death taxes.
you can plan all you want; but it’s hard to plan for a business that keeps growing in value 15-20% annually. It isn’t going to stop.

If I'm remembering correctly, what was pulled from the police report was just that Irsay was found unresponsive and narcan was administered, which local media jumped to the conclusion of a possible OD and ran with
nope. Carmel police specifically listed the call as overdose…media would not rush to that conclusion with such little information. They literally reported what the Carmel police report said. With quotes from the officers on scene, one saying “At this time, it is unknown what Mr. Irsay had ingested prior to our arrival.”
the officer that administered narcan said he responded “slightly” to it. Which means nothing, only what he is interpreting as a slight response.
seems like a bogus report of an overdose to me, and more like an actual health emergency.

Something Mike Chappell said was comforting. They made plans in 2012 and put his girls as owners. So all the speculating they wouldn’t be able to afford the inheritance tax and would have to sell was all nonsense.
its not nonsense. If his girls weren’t transferred a significant ownership stake and he handled (or is in the process of handling) that portion of estate tax, then they are going to be faced with a massive tax bill. Massive. Colts are valued by Forbes at over $4 billion. He was offered a billion for his museum alone, reportedly.

I miss the old days when reporters had facts before reporting things.
well that was back when news wasn’t meant for clicks and engagement. The majority of crap that gets the most engagement on the web would be buried in an old newspaper, if it even made it (like you referred to).-

I can’t even put any blame on a news agency for reporting the news, and the news was from the Carmel police department. They reported something that could legitimately be incorrect, and it was undoubtedly damaging to both Mr. Irsay and the Indianapolis Colts reputation.

Saying the Carmel police need to be sued is out of line. They did the right thing when on the scene.
“out of line.”
lol. Hardly.
33 minutes ago, Restinpeacesweetchloe said:His addiction issues are well known. For pears sake he got arrested for a DUI years back. The police did the right thing when they arrived on the scene.
So they can assume he overdosed without any mention of medication, and the caller specifically stating they thought he was having congestive heart failure… you know from years of drug abuse. I’m not the one that reported a medical emergency being “suspected drug overdose” leading to every news organization in America putting that on their headlines.
all I said was that I hope drugs weren’t involved, and if so…
and it would be able to substantiated as he no doubt had a blood draw through whoever ended up caring for him.
unfortunately after researching some, police are pretty well protected on reporting and defamation claims. No surprise there.

We need to stop. The Carmel police did the right thing. They had a man with a history of addiction and was showing signs of a drug overdose and administered narcan. That was the correct thing because it won’t hurt him if it’s something else. If they hadn’t done that then they would have been neglectful.
Speak for yourself Chloe.How did they know he had a history of addiction? For the same reason they should have known that filing their report that way would be a media's dream for clicks/engagement? If they speculated it was a drug overdose because of who he was and for no other reason, then their report is a bigger issue than I am making it... especially when the 911 call mentioned a different health cause (maybe he has congestive heart failure and has been recently under a doctor's supervision for it, did you think that might be a real possibility?)

Sounds like it was called into 911 as a heart failure. O2 was in the 70s so it's possible. Would explain his bluish color as well. No definite answers here, but we know one of two things for sure. Either his blood wasn't circulating well enough to provide oxygen to the body, or there wasn't enough oxygen entering the lungs.
Yeah. I really hope that there were no drugs involved, and that he sues the ever-living % out of the Carmel police for a false report suspecting drug overdose. If this made national news for a health issue that wasn't reported correctly, there needs to be accountability.

I was mostly joking. I’d rather think that money could be better spent distributing it across the roster for improvement.-

There’s plenty of other types of insurance to sell. They would do just fine.
Who would do just fine? Insurance companies? lol…I’m sure you’re right… it’s just $1.6 trillion annually.
I guess they could sell property insurance in Florida to make up the difference… oh wait.

No source for this. Just my own musings.
DL coach Nate Ollie's release coinciding with Jim Harbaugh's hiring by the Chargers could result in freeing up OLB coach and interim head coach Giff Smith. Giff was Gus Bradley's DL coach on the 2017 Chargers when they where 3rd in the league in scoring defense, and both Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram had double-digits in sacks.
Can he bring Joey with him? -

I didn't make any predictions, but I thought he should have been let go at the time.
And the bolded got a small chuckle out of me.
I don’t know why a coach would feel compelled to be on twitter… Nothing good comes from posting on stuff like that.
“ I don’t even know what to tell my safeties.”
That’s a problem to admit publicly. How about “don’t lower your shoulder into the helmet of a diving player, like the one that about knocked our best receiver out of the season.” Is that hard to say? Apparently so for Mike, now he’s unemployed. And I would go as far to say no longer employable in the national football league. He broke several unwritten rules there.

Can someone refresh what Mike Mitchell said towards the end of season. Wasn’t there some controversy there?
Nevermind found it.
pretty sure this forum said he wouldn’t be here in 2024 after this…
it’s ironic, because that’s indeed what his safeties did this year

Why are some teams always in playoff contention
in Colts Football
Posted
Yeah. My primarily point is they spent big on a 35 year old qb (36 in a few weeks)- they have a defensive tackle that’s got one foot out the door and coach that many don’t see staying past Stafford’s exit (and that may not be in the near future, but he isn’t getting younger when the rest of the league is.)
What many like to conveniently ignore is that the Rams had already made the Super Bowl 3 years prior- and had major pieces in place to pull the trigger for an upgrade at qb and load up the roster for their championship. LA is pretty attractive for free agents, especially that want to win a championship. Is was no secret that Matt Staffords wife wanted to be there and they had even bought a house years prior to the trade.
that trade and the money they spent was because they felt they were in a position to win a Super Bowl with it (and they were). Not everyone has that success. It’s usually reflective of the qb play, which the rams figured out, but most teams that spend big do not.
