Thank you Pat McAfee

[GoColts00]

Boomstick, you were terrific. You were always good for a laugh. The canal swimming, swinging an imaginary golf club, etc. You will be missed. Thanks for the memories and have a great retirement wherever that may lead you.  

[Ja'Crispy]

Godspeed Boomstick.  Incredible punter, incredible personality, incredible Colt. 

[Buck Showalter]

[UKColt13]

Really going to miss that golf swing on Sundays. 

 

I wish you all the best for your future and hope you can leave the surgeries behind you very soon.

 

Thanks Pat!

[NannyMcafee]

I never thought one of my favorite players would be a punter. But you did really well Pat! I salute you. Little bit sad. 

[TDewar1987]

Thank you Pat! I'll still always have your signed jersey hung in my living room haha. 

 

Side note - Where the hell did Tonto go?

He was the most entertaining punter ever!  Very sad to see him go.  Gonna be tough to find a replacement as good and as reliable. 

[gacker65]

Thank you Pat for what you did for the team.

[Jackie Daytona]

Many thanks Pat!  Sad to see ya go, but hope you get every opportunity to share your passion for comedy!

[BullsColtsFan1]

Thanks Pat!  I was at the Titans game when he had one of his successful onside kicks!  He bowed to the crowd afterwards!

 

 

[HungarianColtsFan]

Thank you Patty!!

 

 

You left me in shock anyway...

[dgambill]

Thanks Pat! You started out a little rough around the edges. You often out kicked your coverage and didn't utilize the boundaries to your advantage but as the years went along you learned your craft and got better....til you reached the pinnacle the last couple years. We are going to miss you. Good luck in all your endevours.

 

Hopefully you grow in your new craft as you did with us. I'd say you got a long way to go in being as successful at comedy as you were at kicking but with the hard work and perserverance you can achieve it too! Good luck!

[SilentHill]

It's not going to be the same without him

[Malakai432]

Yeah I wish him the best going forward as shocked and ticked off as I was at first, he will still be here doing good for the community.  Good luck!

[Knuckles79]

Thanks for the memories Pat McAfee.  One of my favorite  players,such a great personality.

[masterlock]

Yes, thank you Broomstick...you crazy someb*@ch!

[King Colt]

He will lose 2.8 million and may have to give back 400,000 in his signing bonus, Now three knee surgeries is a lot and knee pain can be havoc but if he retired to be funny  he should wait and get his monies then spend the rest of his young life being funny.

[Coltsman1788]

I'm really going to miss the Boomstick also known as Patty Mac. He was one of my favorites on this team.  Loved his sense of humor and comical brand of on the field swag.  In my opinion, he was the best punter in the league.  I wish him the best as he pursues the desires of his heart. 

[TheRustonRifle#7]

Enjoy your retirement and thanks for the memories.  The Colts have been blessed with some pretty darn good punters...

[dudeski]

It never ceases to amaze me to see others who think they know what is best for someone else.

[scooter4910]

I'm heart broken....I'll wear my #1 McAfee with pride....hope to see you in the Broad Ripple Canal sometime.

[chrisfarley]

i expect him to be half-time entertainment at an upcoming game.  what a character.  multiple reasons why we'll miss him.

Yes.  Such a garbage guy.  He gave much of his time and money to the community, including our veterans, but I'm so glad that the Colts team is free of a bum like him.  (SARCASM).

[colts1993]

It was fun seeing you kick and laying people down lol 

[BlueShoe]

You will go down as a Colt, never wearing another teams uniform. A Colt for life.

 

Reading through the retirement articles, we are asked about our favorite Pat McAfee moment.

 

The first thought was the pitching wedge, because almost nothing feels better than dropping a ball a foot from the hole from fifty yards out.

 

The second thought was watching you lay out the Denver return man on the sideline. You decleated him, and stoled his man pride. Although that may have been the first time most NFL fans watched you make a great tackle, it wasn't the first for Colts fans. To us, you had made bloody noses cool long before J.J. Watt did.

 

Thank you for being our punter and changing the way we think about the position. I sure wouldn't want to be the person filling those shoes.

 

It's an awesome thought, knowing you will always be an ambassador for the Colts. I look forward to Pat McAfee chapter II.

 

Your fan,

BlueShoe

I's called an "opinion" if you look close enough you will see several of them.

[Beverly Hulsart Williams]

Pat, you will be missed so much!!!  You are one of the best, and how the heck we are going to replace you, I don't know.  I can only wish you the best in your new career.  God Bless!

As others have pointed out, he's set to earn just as much with batstool, but I'm sure a guy as successful as Pat is appreciative of your financial and career advice!

Huge difference between "opinion" & having the effrontery to hand out "unsolicited advice"...

Let me help you out, cause it is needed.

 

A much better "opinion" would have been, "man, if that was me, I would wait have played out my contract and then gone to do the funny guy thing since I would still be a young man."

Dissing the guy in a thread created to thank him for his all-pro level play on the field...

Way to keep it classy!

Glad to see your concern for Pat's financial situation extends to others on the forum, myself included...

I'll try to keep those typos to a minimum for you.
