Pat is a FA again...

He’s been doing work for the WWE.  I wouldn’t be shocked to see him end up there.  One of the NFL TV shows of ESPN would be smart to snag him up though.

Well Bob Lamey just retired... Pat McAfee for the Voice of the Colts? I'd mute the TV and tune in to the radio on gameday lol

I doubt it.  Pat is more silly or a commentator.  He’s not really a play-by-play guy.

Sorry, I just don't see Patty Mac taking over for Bob.  Pat couldn't get through a game without getting thrown off the air for his language.   haha

Well that didn't last long. I'll equate Pat's time at Barstool to when Tom Haverford and Jean-Ralphio started their own entertainment company on 'Parks and Rec'.

Heroes. One of the main reasons I support the colts is because of that show.

The Colts don't put up with much at all concerning their radio/PA/etc. people.  Chick McGee tells a famous story when he used to work for the Colts after they first came to Indy.  Chick was one of the PA announcers and a ref made a questionable call.  Chick did not say anything but cleared his throat, making that uh hum sound after the call.  After that moment Chick no longer worked for the Colts.  I would love to have been there to see the response from the ref......

I just don’t find Pat funny. Colts fans love him, and laughed at all of his jokes, just to be polite. Pat honestly thought he had what it takes to be a comedian. Granted, I have high standards for comedians. Rodney Dangerfield and John Candy were funny. Pat doesn’t have 0.01 percent of the talent of those guys

Pat has a natural comedic sense and is a great story teller.  I can't remember where I saw the interview but Tom Griswold recently was asked about the most talented person/comedian (cant remember the wording) and he said within minutes of Pats first time int he studio he knew he had "it".  He is a natural behind the mich....  

I thought the same thing when he wanted to pursue comedy.  A lot of his draw was the NFL stories he told and hearing behind the scenes stuff.  Once he was no longer hanging out in an NFL locker room every day he lost a lot of his audience.

John candy was a terrible stand up.   He was a great comedic actor.   Pat isn't a good stand up.   He is a great story teller

I was at that game.  The camera was fixed on a couple who was kissing, and Chick simply did what everybody else was thinking.  Opened the mic and cleared his throat.  Letting the couple know they were on camera.

 

He also did a great job as the PA man the entire game.  His firing was a way over the top reaction.  

 

Edit:  oops, misread your post.  I thought he got fired over clearing his throat over a couple getting caught kissing on screen.  Not a questionable call.  Maybe he got fired for that one and not the kissing episode.

Yea but Candy and Dangerfield’s coffin-corner kicks were pretty terrible.

You could be right now that you say it.  I have heard him tell the story on his podcast and on air.  I remember it was the through clearing that lead to his firing, could have been the couple kissing not the ref. Either way, shows they don't have much of a sense of humor and Pat could not operate under those rules......

    • Kool-Aid McKinstry(41), Kamari Lassiter(no.42), Max Melton(43) all have their 3d year completely guaranteed too.    In general it seems like MItchell's contract is middle of the road type of contract. Some got more guaranteed, some less... 
    • Enjoy I'm making an 11 hour trip myself  in November  to get to a colts game.
    • Details from OTC: https://overthecap.com/player/adonai-mitchell/11660   Four years, $7,386,086 total value, $4,817,431 fully guaranteed at signing (65.2%, no info about offsets) Signing bonus, $2,191,700 (prorated to $547,925/year) Salaries for 2024 ($795,000) and 2025 ($1,130,731) are fully guaranteed at signing Salary for 2026 ($1,466,462) partially guaranteed ($700,000) at signing (47.7%)   The #46 pick this year was Jonathon Brooks (coincidentally, the Colts original draft spot), to the Panthers. His contract is only guaranteed for the first two years, total of $4,914,107 guaranteed, which is 58.4% of the total value. At first, I thought this meant AD Mitchell's contract is pretty good, but apparently Brooks' contract is kind of bad. The next pick was Tyler Nubin (Giants), who has nearly all of his third year guaranteed. And last year, the #46 pick was Keion White (Patriots), and almost half of his third year was guaranteed. So Brooks seems to have undercut his guarantees. Some teams hold the line really well, so I was thinking maybe Carolina doesn't want guarantees in the third year, but they drafted Jonathan Mingo at #39 last year, and guaranteed almost half of his third year. Brooks probably could have done better if he had waited a few weeks.   The second round is kind of all over the place this year. There are still 11 guys unsigned, and a good number at the top and in the middle of the round. But all the way up at #40, Cooper DeJean (Eagles) only has $247k guaranteed in 2026, and his total percentage of guarantee is only 62.8%, so his contract isn't as favorable as Mitchell's. And then you have a few guys in the middle of the round -- like Jackson Powers-Johnson (Raiders, #44) and Edgerrin Cooper (Packers, #45) -- who have 2026 fully guaranteed (Cooper's is all but $76k).   But it's all going up. AD Mitchell has more favorable guarantees than Jonathan Taylor did when he was the #41 pick in 2020 (53.9%). Each draft class pushes it a little further than the previous class.
    • Let’s face it that third down catch against Baltimore in 2006 saved the game for us and loudest move on to play give me AFC championship game. He caught it in his elbow for a first down and we kick the subacute field goal which sealed the game. That is my favorite Dallas Clark moment, but watching him, catch the ball and run down the scene for chunk yards. It was amazing.
