But an owner sending that message via a social network seem extremely unprofessional.

    And I don't disagree, but why is the owner of a professional franchise tweeting that.

    Isray inherited his dads fortune and immediately turned into 'the Mouth Isray' before then his dad told himto keep his mouth shut. Classic case of 'inherited money creating an expert' ---

    Didn't Luck throw a pick last week? Where is Luck supposed to throw? He has a rookie TE and second year WR who is fast but lacks size and another WR who has hot potato hands.

    Back off. Irsay is a good owner.

    The Colts are going to win the division. No doubt about it.

    yeah he was in the grasp and tried to still make a throw to a standing TE and the defender just easily cut in front and picked it off... granted the TE didn't come forward to fight for it. still a learning curve week by week for Luck... especially w/out his go to man

    funny description of his weapons tho. other TE is out for year too. they keep trying different people to play the 3 and 4th wrs lol

    Yeah Isray sounds like like a spoiled teen writing this stuff. The owner is always throwing his teams under the bus.

    i agree with Irsay. Atleast he is passionate about his team.

    The worst owner in the NFL is Panthers owner Jerry richardson.

    That guy doesnt give a fukk about his fans.

    That is hardly the point though. What he tweeted for the whole world to see should have been said face to face behind closed doors

    Compared to most owners (say Jerry Jones or Dan Snyder) he's a dream owner.

    Problem with owners is that they are fans first and technically inept on the nuts and bolts of the NFL.

    I have no problem with Irsay's passion, as long as he doesn't step on the team in this capacity.

    right but look at an owner like Jerry Richardson. he is a greedy little bitch all the players hate him all the fans hate him. He is the reason Andrew Luck went back to college another year b/c his dad didnt want him playing for richardson. Richardson was a dikk to all the players during the lockout including peyton manning.

    Richardson never gives an interview. EVER. Raises ticket prices every year. Threatened to take the Panthers to LA if tax payers didnt pay for a 200 million dollar stadium renovation.

    He fired his own son even.

    He could have asked the NFL for help on the stadium renovations but he didnt. Those of you who don't know,
    the Redskins received 2 million bucks for free from the NFL for their stadium renovation.

    Richardson is just an overall scumbag.

    I would love to have an owner like Irsay who interacted with the fans and acted like a real person.
