The owner spin zone

Around the divsion with owner comments on the lockout

I’m glad Irsay had a press conference. I really wish I was there, because I would have liked to ask him if he didn’t think it made him look out of touch to be doing some of his wacky tweeting about a contest Friday evening as the union was decertifying and the league was preparing to lockout. I was embarrassed for him and the timing, frankly.

I do appreciate Irsay’s stance on the potential for furloughs at Colts’ headquarters.

“I just don’t anticipate that sort of thing,” Irsay said. “I look at someone who’s making $40,000 or $50,000 a year, who has rent to pay . . . and I just can’t see it for me as an owner asking them for anything.”
