"I think the guy, (Irsay) just wants to be famous, so he gets one little shot for somebody to know what his name is. To me, that’s just classless. I hope Peyton goes back and steps on their throat."

I agree 100%

And I'm far from a Peyton manning fanatic

But Irsays comments were ignorant misguided misinformed and just plain dumb.

No chance to gain notoriety when you own an NFL team

The Colts were the modern day Jaguars before they picked Manning with the first pick. There's a reason they had the first pick.

It came off as a complete shot at manning not winning enough Super Bowls. Even if Irsay didn't mean it to, that's the way it was taken.

He'd be better off just saying nothing

No they weren't. They were 8-8, 9-7, and 9-7 before they bottomed out in '97.

Why does anybody care what Todd Helton says? I had to google him to find out who he was.

His general point was valid but he definitely gets an F minus for articulation since nobody realizes that he actually pretty much said that Manning was better than Brady. But like someone else said, he shouldn't have said anything.

And, despite the partial revisionist history, he actually did take a mild shot at Manning with the "Star Wars numbers" comment and the constant flashing of the ring.
