Good for him. Still i find it odd a former coach is doing a weekly analysis. He seemed very well liked and he is the king of coach speak so should go over well. 


Former Coach Rick Venturi also does weekly analysis, does he not?    Or am I misunderstanding you?

Well a former coach who won all of one game is the color analyst and Grandpa Ted called games on the radio for years so it’s not really unprecedented.

Never mentioned Rick Venturi and what he does and had to look him up.  I understand it’s happened before but I hope you understand that in my opinion I find it odd. Just like if Doug Pederson would have started doing a weekly analysis of the Eagles after they fired him. 
 

Chuck seems to be well loved in Indy so it should go over well and probably why he was chosen. He has been coming back to Indy for his charity and was at camp this year.  Glad he and the team are on good terms.  Its not common but I welcome it.

Oh great.  Now, along with the Rick Venturi "basically" counter, we have to listen to the Chuck Pagano rapid fire "you know, you know, you know, you know, you know".  I like both guys, but listening to them makes my ears bleed.

We'll see. He may be more polished and scripted this time around. As opposed to coach speak during a press conference where everything was mostly improvised.

I really like Chuck a lot... now that he's not the coach

I have been a Colts fan since 1984 and one thing I have noticed is, hardly nobody is ever happy with the coaches we have had. Some in here can't stand Frank. I remember when I chatted over at ESPN that some Colts fans couldn't stand Dungy. One of my best friends thought Dungy was overrated and average and was the reason why we always lost in the playoffs. I thought Dungy was great but wasn't Belichick great if that makes sense. We just ran into the Patriots in his era. Same thing with Chuck, in 2013 and 2014, it was Belichick and Brady again.

 Chuck is a great man, and he has a fun personality. I saw him on McAffees show. He got down with them, pretty raw, and i really enjoyed his perspective. He surely has the Irsay families respect. Irsay "mentored" Grigson and Chuck when Irsay had some deep issues. IMO, Irsay manned up to how his leadership affected our success then by giving them new contracts.

 Chuck AND Venturi!  We have a Seniors program. Chuck-le.

To the bolded, you don't have to listen to either of them.

 

I listened to a lot of Venturi a few years back. I stopped doing that. I doubt that I'll be checking for Chuck at all. But good for him. Seems like an easy gig that keeps him somewhat connected to the Colts, which isn't a bad thing.

This never goes well when I say it but dumb dumb me keeps saying. Dungy was a very good coach.  He wasn’t great and not HOF material. Some of that was the Patriots era and the rest was skill. At no time did I ever think we should replace Dungy, I just thought he was a super high floor but low ceiling type of coach. Like the Russel Wilson of coaches.  Couldnt ask for a better human being tho. I love Dungy

      2024 NBA, Pacers and all NBA talk

      Regarding the other Game 7, I think Denver shows Minnesota who the Champ is, I like Denver in that one. Good luck @Yoshinator.

      me after Game 6! Yeah I have never seen such bias from the media in my life regarding any 1 series. At halftime, espn was playing GO NY GO NY, GO chants. It just isn't them, every single host on CBS radio are pulling for NY. What the hell did the Pacers do to deserve this kind of hate? I am puzzled. We aren't a dirty team, play beautiful basketball on offense. Usually people root for the underdog. Knicks are still favored to win the series. They are a 2 point favorite in Game 7. I hope we win big, as a fan, the media and NY fans made it personal with me after Game 5. I have sent our FO an e-mail saying make it personal, block out their crowd, block out the media, and bring it home.

      YouTube TV 2024 Sunday Ticket $199 Special ends May 16th

      It's apparent that the NFL is becoming what the NBA has already become.  It's not that far down the road that most all major sports games will be pay per view.

      By Happy2BeHere · Posted

      I don’t want to pay for the TV package monthly…nor will I pay their ridiculous prices. I used to get the Student NFL ticket from DirecTV and it was only $100 for the whole season and I could watch wherever on my mobile devices….that was a great deal and I did it for many years in a row.   I can confirm that last year I did pay for NFL+ and I just watched the games sometimes after it was over…and with that subscription you can watch local live broadcasts…so I would use BitDefender VPN and I’d login to a server location that made it appear I was in a particular city within the broadcast map. However, BitDefender doesn’t have a location for Indiana so often times I’d set the location to the away teams location when possible.   I just need to find a VPN service that has locations in Indiana so that I can use the NFL+ again this year. If anyone knows of one offering servers in Indiana please do let me know….much more fun to watch live and interact on the forum during the game than to have to wait until it’s all over to rewatch it.
