any chance we bring the kid back for next year? I know the kid messed up, but it seems like a waste to not atleast see what the kid can do

[NewColtsFan]

Not likely at this point.....

 

He was signed by Denver on to their practice squad about 4-6 weeks ago.

 

So, while I was hoping we'd resign him for 2014,  unless Denver lets him go,  that's not going to happen........

 

Oh well......

If he is done getting in trouble with the Law then maybe.

[Balzer40]

I wouldn't mind bringing him back. I didn't see the point in cutting him anyway. Yeah, he made a dumb mistake, but many young players have done that and much worse. 

[Dark Superman]

He was very excited to be a part of the Colts organization.

[backshoulderfade]

"You cant sign me, i'm a Denver Bronco!"

[backshoulderfade]

"You cant sign me, i'm a Denver Bronco!"

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Thought the same thing wouldn't surprise me we give him a shot.

[lollygagger8]

Hmmm.....

[wordofmouth]

"You cant sign me, i'm a Denver Bronco!"

Nice!

Not really. At least not many have done worse and kept their job. 

 

The two things that really sealed his fait, in my opinion, were repeatedly bringing the Colts into it (" you can't arrest me I'm on the Colts!")

and then threatening to come back and settle the score with the officer afterwards.

We could really use his talent at that position but he will have to really repent to get another chance here.

[zibby43]

I think the fact that he said, "You can't arrest me, I'm a Colts player" sealed his fate forever in Indianapolis.  Not exactly good publicity.  Especially since I can remember that fateful line.

We can still sign him off of their PS, put him on our active roster. 

 

Then, of course we'd put him IR with the rest of our walking wounded.

 

(in case anyone thinks I'm serious - I'm not)

[Gavin]

No, Ill take a bigger healthier Safety who has not had 2 knee surgeries while still playing with reckless abandon, Glad he owned up to his mistake but no

[21isSuperman]

Nope.  It seems like the safety draft this year is deep, so I don't think we need to bring him back

[PrincetonTiger]

No

[MaoBerry]

I want no part of this alcoholic on our team or driving god forbid within our community. We had to make an example out of him, because he involved our team and name. The group madd would‘ve came down hard on us, if he wasn‘t canned. Yes, i am aware that he wasn‘t driving...this time. What about next?...

[SteelDragon]

 I didn't see the point in cutting him anyway.

 

They cut him because they gave the kid a contract knowing that he wasn't going to be able to contribute due to injury, and he goes out and make an butt out of himself.

[NewColtsFan]

I was hoping that with the Colts advice,  the kid would go to a rehab clinic,  stay 60 days...    get healthy, both with alcohol and get his knees rehabbed....    completely clean-up his act....

 

Then....

 

Shortly after our season ends -- whenever that is -- we re-sign him to a futures contract.....   let him low profile his life for a while and start all over again....

 

He said and did some incredibly stupid stuff...    but by all accounts that was the alcohol talking, not a sober kid.

 

He's got talent and passion for the game.    The Colts need that.

 

If we can find a way to bring him back,  I'm all for it....

 

If not.....    life goes on......

[Buck Showalter]

Makes me want to go to Tikki Bobs

If you think he is an alcoholic, you should come to ireland!

[Warhawk]

If you think he is an alcoholic, you should come to ireland!

 

"You can't arrest me, I'm Rovers player!"

 

So like that basically?

[backshoulderfade]

"You can't arrest me, I'm Rovers player!"

It's more like "ah jaysus, cop on trying to arrest me now, bud. I'll fight ya for your shoelaces, ya filthy geebag."

i am irish, by the way! I hope to visit the motherland soon actually.

[Warhawk]

Hang on, I gotta write that down in my travel book.

 

I'd hate to commit a faux pas when being arrested in another country.

It's important to remember there is no such thing as the police in ireland, but something called an garda %einthecorner.

Presumably I shouldn't take the Jenny Lauren route and ask them to repeat what they said in English?

O judgemental are we? Alcholic and you know this from his medical history? And I don't care if MADD, SADD, PETA or any other hypocrictical organization doesn't like someone the colts sign or resign, its not there business and if they have a suite in the stadium, they can choose to give up their seats. People are so dang tightly strung anymore that they are so worried what everyone thinks about them. Jeez, we are such politically correct wussies in this country anymore, no wonder we have fallen off the ledge.

Now the reason I wouldn't want him back would be he threatened the police officer, not because he said he was a colt. If I was a colt and got in trouble, better believe I'd mention it too
