I'd love it. Irsay is probably the only owner crazy enough to understand Ed.

[Derf]

Ed Reed has better hands than Dickson.

"What are you all doing here? I don't know what in the hell this is all about. I have no intention of signing Ed Reed to the goddamn team!"

"What the hell are you talking about? Ed Reed wasn't in Arizona!"

[CptJesus]

I'm glad I wasn't a football fan in the time where a lot of posters here seem to be...I can enjoy the Ravens without the incredible bitterness towards the Colts. Jim Irsay seems to tweet just for the purpose of being funny...I can definitely appreciate it.

Good one from his quote: Theyre my ___ ____ team. They're the Irsays.



When Steadman covered Indy's first game, Irsay burst into the press room slobbering and drooling at the mouth as usual and shocked the Indy media saying how does it feel to lose your team now. John replied something like how does it feel to be a dick.

Irsay blamed the media and specifically held Steadman and Phil Jackman
as culpable.

Ah, the young ones have no idea what we went thru.

I travel to Jacksonville for work frequently and one of my customers has a Jacksonville Colts t-shirt in his office. We cut up about it every time I see him. I need to get a pic of it and post it here.

Irsay landing in a helicopter on the field at the Gator Bowl while 50,000+ chanted, "we want the Colts!". That was late summer 1979 when the Orioles were in a pennant race. Irsay figured he could sneak down there and not be noticed. LOL!

Man, who doesn't remember that 2-3 year stretch where he dangled the team to Jacksonville, Memphis, Phoenix and finally Indy. And denied he had any intentions of moving the entire time.

Al Davis would have done it. I miss him.

[DaStevez]

He isn't fast enough for Al Davis to have considered him.

Ed doesn't have the same open field elusiveness that would have allowed him to line up as a slot or 4th WR back in the day (which we never did). He only got so many touches as the return specialist because he had such sure hands. I can only recall one, maybe two, muffed punt returns.

[steelerhater]

Al Davis would have done it. I miss him.

Jerry Jones might still do it. With Sean Lee and DeMarcus Ware injured, Ed Reed would be the best tackler on that team.

Yeah, it's gonna have to be an owner with deep pockets and a smaller than usual brain. lol
