Jim Irsay doesn't own the Colts

[chrisfarley]

"The Patriots Do"   In one of the most arrogant statements/columns I've ever read, this whacko boston globe columnist has officially lost it.  "Terrorized them on terra firma".   I believe they think this is a crusade.

Well they will all be crying in their Uggs Sunday night so let them have their fun now.

[ColtsSouljah]

I don't understand that article at all. The Patriots "only" lost once to the Colts in the playoffs in the Manning era. There were only three games!! That's hardly dominating.

Also, so if we win three straight against the Pats at some point does that mean we own them?

[Derakynn]

By all means drum up some ad revenue...

[The Peytonator]

Pats fans/media sure are giving Pagano a lot of bulletin board material. 

[crazycolt1]

Sounds like this writer is putting all the pressure on the Patriots. I don't know if it's arrogance or fear?

[PrincetonTiger]

Pats fans/media sure are giving Pagano a lot of bulletin board material.

Agreed

[RockThatBlue]

 Every article I read from any publication there shows them basically thinking were a joke.

[Warhorse]

I smell an adverse reaction to the fear of the inevitable.

 

I am quite calm and ready for the future. It appears this writer is not.

[chrisfarley]

Is there just one writer in Boston that's not a total snob? Every article I read from any publication there shows them basically thinking were a joke.

indeed and its getting on every inch of my nerves.

well I need one more post... I was like huh...and then this made more sense. Hope this gets me over the hump!

 

It was a little funny, the thread name not the reason.

[sb2001]

That will be the first place I comment if we win! Man, that would be sweet.

Were you reading/watching in 03 and 04? Manning was god and could do no wrong....same thing... and your fan base was far more arrogant than ours rooting for a team and QB that had won nothing in the town of Indianapolis....just saying as a guy that was there. In 2015 we still have Tom Brady....

They're all really bad. It comes with the territory.

[Dark Superman]

Wouldn't want it any other way..

[bababooey]

It's like they don't realize that our team was 2-14 three years ago, they haven't won % in 10 years since getting caught cheating, and that Brady and Bill won't be there forever...

[04DarkShadowGT]

Well to this point they are right, the only way to change perception is for the team to win tonight.  Just like everyone talking about the Big Ten being awful in bowl games, you need to prove it on the field.  

 

If Indy wins tonight they show what they are made of.  If they get smoked we will hear this another year.

Don't get your drawers in a bunch " arrogant " maybe a lil .  In the Peyton Manning era & so far the Andrew Luck era its true .

 

Lots of 1 & dones in New England tell the story & thats exactly why our Colts don't get the respect we fans think they should to change that narrative the Colts must win & put that story to rest .

 

Respect will come once,

colts have never gone 1 & done against New England they had to win at least be game to play them each time.

On a larger note my response to this story in general is just "yawn" it's lazy sports writing at its best..

[LJpalmbeacher2]

For a team that's known for Cheating and hasn't WON a ring in like a decade their too arrogant!

[deedub75]

I think it's more of a joint ownership!

[ruksak]

Their lease is up. 

[Cynjin]

It is more of the media that is covering the Patriots that is too arrogant.

Weird...looks like my first sentence disappeared. I sure didn't remove it. Its the truth.

[Jim H.]

Win or lose - the Patriots sun is beginning to set.  Let their fans run wild with their typical New England arrogance.  There is something to be said in winning OR losing with class, dignity and humility.  Three traits the folks with the odd accent sorely lack.

Thats true IMO  The media are digging up any & everything just to have something to say ..Lots of air time & only 2 games ..

Yeah, I am getting burned out listen to some of the coverage.  Nothing new being discussed at all.

Just a lil while ago I became aware that Reggie likes to have chicken soup before the game according to the NFL  Nitwork & Coach Pagano checks in to make sure Reggie has his soup . :bored:  

[GwinnettColt]

There have been a lot of classy posts by Patriots fans throughout the years here on this board.  Those members of this board and the fans who I know and like I will exclude from the following statement:

 

This type of article is why Colts fans (and many other fans across the U.S.) do not like a lot of Patriots fans.  It's the arrogance, sense of entitlement, ridicule of other teams and their locations, snippy comments.  It's the typical East coast-"I'm better than you because I come from a city that has Harvard in it.  You are unsophisticated because you do not have any major tourist sites there and there isn't much to do."

 

The truth is that Boston, while a nice city, is very overrated.  The politics are absurd, taxes are too high, and the cost of living is detrimental to the middle class.  Since JFK, there hasn't been anything good that has come out of Boston.  John Kerry is what they've given us.  Indy is a quiet city.  Decent places to live without putting our grandchildren into debt for your home. Traffic is manageable and the people here are relatively easy to get along with.  

 

The Colts lose to the Chargers and Cowboys all the time.  There aren't articles or statements like these made.  

 

If what the Globe says is true, the Eli Manning owns the Patriots.  So it goes.  

[ColtStronger]

If the Colts win I'm thinking about calling a Boston based radio station to talk some crap.  I will definitely be on Colts forum, that's for sure!
