Muda69 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 We'll start with the biggest story regarding the Colts so far in early 2024, the owner: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2024/01/18/jim-irsays-ongoing-addiction-fight-means-giving-up-control-of-colts/72270415007/ Quote Jim Irsay is believed to have overdosed again, which would be the second time for the owner of the Indianapolis Colts. It’s too soon to say what comes next, but if he’s headed to rehab, this would be at least his 16th time. ,,,,, I’m saying it: Jim Irsay should never again run the Indianapolis Colts. ...... Thoughts?

Very sad for any individual to be 64 years of age and can't handle this demon. In this case, a 64 year old billionaire. While I feel for him and his battle with addiction, I would hope the NFL would demand that he hand over the keys until he can demonstrate he is healthy and on the right track.

Muda69 Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 Colts sign Pittman and Franklin to 3-year extensions: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2024/03/11/colts-michael-pittman-jr-signs-a-3-year-extension/72931370007/ Quote Michael Pittman Jr. will be sticking around Indianapolis for a few more years. The Colts have reached an agreement on a new deal with their star wide receiver, which Pittman confirmed with an Instagram post captained "HOME." The deal is for three years and $70 million with $46 million guaranteed, a source confirmed to IndyStar. The $23.3 million average annual salary ranks eighth at the wide receiver position, sandwiched between the 49ers' Deebo Samuel and the Commanders' Terry McLaurin. ... https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2024/03/11/colts-sign-zaire-franklin-to-three-year-extension/72928921007/ Quote The first move the Colts made in free agency this offseason was one they did not have to make. But it was a chance to reward a player who has outplayed the last deal he signed by leaps and bounds. Indianapolis signed middle linebacker Zaire Franklin to a three-year extension, a source confirmed to IndyStar on Monday morning, that is worth up to $31.3 million, although full details of the contract have not been reported yet. ....

Muda69 Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Colts sign Comeback Player of the Year Joe Flacco as backup quarterback https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2024/03/13/colts-sign-comeback-player-of-the-year-joe-flacco-as-backup-quarterback/72964500007/ Quote The Colts have found a quarterback to replace Gardner Minshew as Anthony Richardson’s backup. Another quarterback who ended up surprising everybody when he was thrown into the lineup in place of an injured starter last season. Indianapolis has signed Joe Flacco, the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year, to a one-year deal worth $4.5 million in guaranteed money and up to $8.2 million in incentives, a league source told Indy Star on Wednesday night, handing head coach Shane Steichen a backup quarterback he already knows he can trust. Flacco spent half a season with Steichen in Philadelphia in 2021, serving as the backup to Jalen Hurts until the Eagles traded Flacco to the New York Jets halfway through the season. A starter In Baltimore for a decade and a Super Bowl MVP for the Ravens in 2012, Flacco has spent the past six seasons as a sometime starter and a mentor in a backup role for the Broncos, Jets, Eagles and Browns. Interesting signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishman Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Colts schedule is out. Interesting things: 1. Of the 15 games that are set for time, they have 13 games starting at 1 pm. 2. Just one prime time game against the Jets on Sunday Night Football in week 11. 3. The bye is not until week 14...wow....that seems really late.

Sounds like perhaps NFL brass has low expectations for the Colts. I can live without Thurs night games, so not having any of those are fine by me. That is a late bye week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is probably because they only have one game that isn't in the Eastern or Central time zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Colts were the first to start tagging games as premium games. Years ago, when they were still in the dome, we bought tickets for the Packers game, but they did not just sell single game tickets. You had to buy a preseason ticket as well. So for the Colts-Bills preseason game that year, there was a LOT of green and yellow in the crowd. 😂 I also recall a number of people getting warning letters from the Colts stating that the team was aware that fans of the visiting team were in their seats and that happened again, they could lose the rights to those seats for season tickets. I think they were one of the first organizations to do that as well. Yes they do have a system in place where every seat can be seen by a camera. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
