chrisfarley Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Was just listening to Mike and Mike, they said that Irsay was tweeting up as late as 5am. They read them and I agree, he just needs to go to bed. They said he was classless again, misspelling words, using profanity, etc. Mike Greeberg finally said, "Money can buy you a lot of things, make no mistake, but one thing it cannot buy is class". WOW, they were slamming him outright. What is Irsay's deal????? Getting tired of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittywerb Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I think after the wrongful hate he got all this week, I think it's ok for him to shove the pie in people's faces.

Gavin Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Yeah he was tweeting all night, 3 tweets directed at the media and nay sayers that were talking all within the last 4 hours. I personally would not feel the need to respond to them over Twitter but thats just me and my choice, At the same time he did not say anything off the wall or outrageous just condemning the media for spinning things up, The hate that put on Irsay the last few days was nasty from some, He had a right to vent some, Good for him.

I reckon that part could really hit home considering the tweets from last week! Then again I do not think he was being mean spirited toward Manning - I think he was just out of his mind - not thinking clearly - and being unprofessional - accompanied by a dose of arrogant denial. This club does not need a loud mouthed owner drawing more attention than its star players!

The Old Crow Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I thought the Colts had a good chance to win at home , and they did. Luck is a great young quarterback , and played great. However, the contrast between how Manning carried himself before and after the game , and how Irsay did, couldn't be more stark. One was classy all through an emotional week, while the other was making controversial comments, and then continuing to depict himself as a victim. It was a great win, combined with good wins over SF and Seattle, but it is only a regular season win. The hard part is winning in the playoffs. It's not the smartest thing to start a war with the media, but that's apparently what he wants. I've seen this happen before in the late 70's and early 80's, and it never ends up pretty. He is telling others they are unhappy and jealous, yet he was the one that brought up frustration , and perhaps jealousy , in only winning one Super Bowl while other teams had won two. Keep going down the Jerry Jones Highway , you're halfway there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smittywerb Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I've been a Colts fan since '03. Pretty young compared to some guys on here. For the time I have been a fan of this team, he has done nothing but go all out for his team, whether with his money or mouth. He put up with Polian's "Pay our own" agenda and gave people contracts that ended up biting us in the ***, when he felt the team was heading in the wrong direction, he cut off the old flesh and replaced it with Pags and Luck, and when the media was attacking him and dooming our team this weak, he was right with us and the players taking things head-on. Put it this way, if I was going to war and needed a general who would make the tough decisions for the better of the TEAM and do whatever it takes to win, and I had to pick from the NFL owners, Irsay would be my first pick #nobias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Crow Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Got away with what? The whole he is just another rich guy argument is a joke... and no one seemed to be distracted on the field.It was a regular season game at home. The Colts and Luck weren't distracted, because Irsay had all the attention and pressure placed on Manning . He had the tribute and interviews that put the focus on Manning. Teams react certain ways to owner comments. Sometimes they do better , and sometimes it takes them off their game focus. Manning had everything to lose last night, and Luck and the Colts had little. In the playoffs, if Irsay tweets comments as we know he will, next time it could fire up the other team, especially if you're on the road in the playoffs. I don't care that he's a billionaire. I'm just saying he's not the average Joe Shmoe with a twitter account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
