Been posted a few times.

 

He unliked it quickly.

 

Another bad impulsive move by him.

Knew I’d be late lol. This is why I don’t buy current players jerseys (not even Luck when he was playing)

Chap stated colts believe he is healthy and not rule out a suspension. 

 

The character picks keep paying dividends.  

 

[Mikemccoy84]

Sounds a lot like checkmate unless he is really willing to end his career.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Says colts weren’t even offered a 2nd either.

Go read that article I just posted from chap. A source says they believe Taylor is healthy and not rule out a suspension.

Wow so they like many of us think Taylor is lying. Which means they could toss him on the exempt list from what I’m seeing, which also would suspend his contract with no pay this year, no accrual of service year And still retain his rights next season.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This is gonna turn into a Leveon Bell situation.

Likely cause he won’t take a physical. He even refused one until a trade was complete for a report I saw Sunday

Worse. Way worse

What is proper compensation for a player faking injury?

For the record Irsay is probably chaps source.

[TaylorStillTruckedYou]

I am a Colt first, and if we have to hold JT “hostage” then so be it.  Not giving away good players for a bag of chips, and if he does not want to be here then I guess tough luck.  I can’t look back and see anything the organization have done to JT to warrant these actions.   If suspension is on the table, then let him decide the fate of his career.  I’m over it

It’s defintely approaching the stupidity of Leveon Bell.

Not exactly. He will be fined next season for any sitting out

Good. He should be. I’m done with him. 

[Mikemccoy84]

If suspended he gonna give up money this year as well. His career earnings at that point is pretty low after taxes. Hope he has a good backup plan

Yeah at some point the Colts are going to stop playing nice and this will get really ugly.  Frankly Taylor’s time in Indy is probably over but the Colts aren’t just going to give him what he wants.  They are going to play hard ball on this.

And they should.

He will serve as an unpaid intern with "First Round Money."

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

National media sure likes to blame Irsay for everything.

 

[Mikemccoy84]

It’s sad to see fans of all other teams ripping Irsay for this but to be honest I think almost all other teams would have handled it this way. I bet most owners are ecstatic seeing Jim stick to his guns

I don't even have Twitter, yet I have seen bad take after bad take on there.

 

 

Most people are clueless.

[Dingus McGirt]

Initial dialogue between Taylor and his "genius" - aka agent.

 

Agent:  Yo, JT,they gotta pay you, man.  They have a rookie QB who need you back there taking the pressure off'n him.  You got them right where you want them.  

 

JT:  Yeah.  That's what's up.

 

Agent: Cha-ching!  I'm finna make it rain for you, bruh.

 

JT:  Word

I have a friend who is a journalist and they told me in their industry nothing is as lazy as a sports journalist.  They just go for low hanging fruit and easy stories.  Like any profession there are good ones and that’s why when I find one I pay attention to them and not others

A lot of these are just random people I am seeing.

 

 

It's just whatever populates I'm the Twitter section after searching "colts news".

 

Craziness.

The writer didn't even mention how everything seemed pretty OK until Taylor hired the new umm...."agent."

Yeah Twitter has made a whole new monster, anyone can just claim they are an insider or journalist now.  What I’ve learned is a lot of those people who aren’t but like to pretend they are paid for the blue checkmark so my rule of thumb is if I see a blue check mark ignore it.

I really miss zak keefer on the colts beat.  I think James Boyd is growing and I really am starting to enjoy him. But most of them are bad.

I hate how people talk now. 

[Indianapolis-Colts-Fan]

Can we consider not posting one tweet after another regarding the colts simply because it’s talking about the Colts without it being a credible source or account? We’re on the verge of spam here. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Now the big question is how will this drama effect the team this year.

I don't even care so much about the rumors that float around. I consider those fun to look at.  Can't really take anyone of them as speaking the truth.

 

Even the "trustworthy reporters" seem to be way off. Schefter said it was close, numerous others...

 

Nothing is official till it's official.

[Mikemccoy84]

Hopefully the team can maintain the level of energy seen in preseason. It was refreshing to see them having fun on the field.

Probably not much other than being asked about it.  Beyond that it’s a contract issue between and player and management.  Most players are pretty good at tuning that out because it doesn’t impact them day-to-day unless you are someone like Jackson or moss who will get a huge opportunity from it.
