    I don’t know what is sad?  Peyton is living the good life.   You should be happy for him.   I don’t think he wants any part of the life of a GM.   That life is grueling.   It’s 24/7/365.   You’ve got to be wired differently to want that life.   It’s not for everyone.  


    Peyton can be with his wife and kids and do the Mannjng-cast on ESPN and funny commercials.   Peyton has the best of everything in the life he now has.    

     

    Again, be happy for him.  

    I’m happy for him. Sad for us.  And trust I know that not many people moving from Colorado to Indiana. :thmup:  But Peyton wouldn’t be the GM. He’d be the President or head of football operations in my scenario.

    Jim Irsay's Interview - "Real Sports w/ Bryant Gumbel"

    Irsay needs to stop with the interviews & twitter exchanges. Just a terrible look.  He can try to spin it all he wants but him being a white billionaire most likely played a role in him getting the more serious charges dropped.

     

    Then when Andrea brought up the girlfriend that OD’d he factually stated that people who use drugs are at a major risk of dying.  Yes they are and  I’m sure he said that because he didn’t want to discuss that incident at great length or in any detail. But it just came across as callous and non-empathetic. 
     

    Just a cluster-f of an interview. Really makes it look like the timing of Leonard’s release was to take some of the attention off of the interview. I’m sure the Colts PR team knew it was coming and couldn’t stop it so you cut a respected team leader the day before he’s handing out turkeys to families in need for Thanksgiving in an attempt to lessen the blow of the interview. 

     

    They really need to get their ish together over on 56th street. The only good thing that came from that interview was we Colts fans got to see that Irsay still regularly reaches out to Peyton.  So maybe it’s time to bring #18 home and give him a small % of the team and let him be team president or something?
     

    This franchise is too iconic to be doing self destructive, dysfunctional stuff like this 2 years in a row.  Jeff Saturday hire last year now this.  I’m afraid to think of what could be in store next year.  Hopefully, the 3rd time is the charm & Peyton comes back.
