He is becoming an internet legend, and a fan favorite icon amongst NFL fans, not just Colts fans. I really hope he gets re-signed. Hes not only a very good punter (under rated position imo), but hes a fantastic personality. Would love to see him in a horseshoe for years to come.

I could easily see him tagged again. Tags for punters are cheap by NFL standards and I don't think we have another free agent worth the tag at his poistion other than maybe Adam.

He could be franchised again but I hope not. We will not have a first rounder to sign next year so maybe that's an upside to the Trent trade that can free some money for Pat?

I could be wrong about this (I'm relying on my memory and not looking it up).. but I think it's gets really expensive to use the franchise tag on players in consecutive years because you have to pay 120% of the previous year or an average of the top 5.  Since he signed the 1-year franchise last year he already makes the average of the top 5.. next year would be 120% of that.

 

I seem to remember this being an issue with Edge.   I wouldn't be surprised if it was used on Davis unless they extend before the deadline.

vontae will get an extension

Mcafee is a punter. Don't care either way. Especially don't care about his internet persona

Don't have to care about anything other than the fact that he is one of the best punters in the league.

The other stuff is a bonus.

You cannot doubt his on the field contributions though.

I believe you are correct on this, didn't it cause the Cowboys some financial pain to FT Spencer twice in a row?

Pat needs to concentrate on his football career and less on his comedy act.  He's a talented guy for sure, but he's had some real bone-head kicks this year (like the out of bounds blunder against TN).

Dude his show or whatever he does has zero effect on his training and practice for games. It was just a bad kick. 

Players have lives too..

I think he was the reason the Colts won the Houston game. The tackle he made on the long kick return saved a TD. He has made some really good saving tackles on returns(not that the returner should be getting to him), but he's not scared to get in there and hit some one.

One question though. Why has Allen been doing Facebook Friday the last 2 weeks and not McAfee?

still for a punter it's cheap. He'd still make less than our backup QB just to give you an idea.

if you watch chuck pagano's press conference hes says they were trying to pin them deep in the corner and did not put that kick on McAfee

Can you tell me how you know one is affecting the other?

If I'm honest the canal incident for some reason endears him to me even more... players have done far worse under the influence (influences?).

I always just assumed it was a Broadripple right of passage. Im from further south in B-town, but thats what my dad told me lol.

Yes, others have done much, much worse, but that move still deserves a good :facepalm:

He wouldn't have gotten into trouble if he hadn't tried to climb into to some random woman's car. :P

Ha I don't follow the NBA, that's a Pacers reference right?

 

Nah, Vanderjagt when he called Peyton and Tony soft during playoff losses.

 

Are you talking about Vandejagt? He was sober when he talked that nonsense. At least Mac had the good decency to be inebriated when he acted like an *.

 

I know he was. I was just combining that incident with him being our liquored up kicker.

Pat rocks.

 

I've met him several times and he's been nothing but a very cool, easy to talk to guy. And to top it off, he's a fantastic punter and happens to be a great athlete that enjoys tackling and does some great things off the field.

 

Can't ask for anything more. Keep him around at any reasonable cost.

      Colts vs Steelers post game

      By crazycolt1 · Posted

      The Refs gave them a head start on the very first drive. Calling roughing the passer was bogus. Then there were no calls too.

      2024 MLB Baseball

      Atlanta is very beat up, and missing several of their stars. With Chris Sale not even on the Wild Card roster, Manager Brian Snitker was forced to trot out a guy who was making only his 2nd MLB start he lasted 1 & 1/3rd, giving up 4 hits & 3 runs, to include a homerun. Padres starter Michael King, a converted relief pitcher who was also making his 1st postseason start, was masterful. He pitched 7 shutout innings, scattering 5 hits but not walking a batter, while striking out 12, one shy of his career high for a game. Oddly enough, King's only other postseason appearance was for the Yankees during the shortened Covid season, in San Diego wirth cardboard cutouts in the stands. The atmosphere at Petco Park was raucous, and the team fed off it. Two of the biggest pieces that the Padres acquired from the Yankees in the Juan Soto trade, King & catcher Kyle Higashioka came up big today, King with his performance on the mound and Higashioka accounted for half of the the Padres runs with a solo homerun and a sacrifice fly.

      Actually you went 10-6, your wins were: Cowboys Vikings  Bengals Texans  Colts 49ers  Commanders  Chiefs  Raiders Lions   That would put you 10-6 and 34-30 overall.
