Colts owner Irsay takes cheap shot at Peyton Manning...

[MIB41]

...and how! Talk about the very definition of a dumb arse. This clown talks to USA Today and says he replaced Manning because they were not winning enough championships! Manning owns about every record in the book, put the Colts back on the map, and is arguably one of the greatest QB's to ever play the game and this guy is unsatisfied?! Wow... Sucks to be Luck this morning, eh? Talk about locker room material for this weekend's match up. What a moron. And here I thought Jerry Jones owned the crown for the most idiotic statements.

Yeah, I was flabbergasted when I read that. Nothing you can do but shake your head.

Irsay needs to learn to shut up just a bit. The Colts won 1 championship with Manning. Without him, they win zero and are a mediocre team in this era. Then, Manning gets hurt and they luck into the 1st pick in a year with the best QB prospect in a decade. My Browns could only be so lucky.

Manning and the Broncos wil be schooling the heck out of the Colts this weekend. And I agree Goblin if only My Browns could be so lucky :-)

I honstly don't think Irsay was being malicious in his comments, at least not intentionally. He always had the higest respect for him and often had the Manning family over to his house as guests. He did state some facts tht are accurate. Seven out of eleven playoffs they are out in the first round. You can't exactly ignore that. You also can't blame Manning for that either. He might be my favorite QB, but you gotta have a better postseason record. He had the entire weight, hopes and dreams of Indiana on his shoulders, no wonder he needed neck surgeries.

Irsay is a bit of a "weird" guy. Though what he said may be inflammatory, a person should not regard much of anything that he ever says, much less this in particular. However, after saying all of that, I think he does like Peyton Manning, but clearly has "sour apples", at this point, due to the fact that Peyton is having so much success post-Colts.

^ exactly, when in the spotlight many times it's better to just keep your mouth shut or else it'll come back to bite you in the ***.

He just likes to hear himself talk. The thing is, if Manning didn't get hurt, the Colts would have never landed Luck and had back to back franchise QB's. It works out good for everyone.
