Quote:Because it's not true and to think it is is RIDICULOUS. Shows you (anyone who believes this) knows nothing about the NFL. I've argued this 100 times on this board and everyone here is too blind by their hatred/jealousy for the Colts to admit they're wrong.

 

Ask these people how they're benefiting from 'tanking' for Luck:

 

Vice Chairman: Bill Polian

GM: Chris Polian

Head Coach: Jim Caldwell

Director of Player Personnel: Tom Telesco

Curtis Painter

Dan Orlovsky

Joseph Addai

Austin Collie

Pierre Garcon

Anthony Gonzalez

Dallas Clark

Ryan Diem

Jeff Saturday

Ernie Sims

Jamaal Anderson

Justin Snow

 

All of the players listed above started at some point during the 2011 season. The 4 people I listed in the front office are the most important pieces in the front office (not counting the owner, obviously).

 

Oh and if you didn't catch the trend, everyone I mentioned above are no longer with the Colts.

 

Bill Polian, Saturday, etc, were on their way out anyway...Chris Polian is a joke. No Jags fan wanted him here....

<div>Let's refresh this for everyone to understand the TMD conspiracy.
 
A. Peyton Manning faked season ending surgery.
B. Everyone on the Colts tanked the season to obtain Luck, then 75% lost their Job.
C. The NFL orchestrated the entire conspiracy because the NFL didn't want Luck to go to the Jaguars.
D. No one took a payday from any news media to spill the beans.
 
That bad part is ... I actually believe you believe your crazy conspiracy. ... And you probably Vote. :woot:

A. Judging how Peyton has played since, (i.e. picked up right where he left off) theres probable cause to have that hypothesis. 

 

B. The people that lost their job that were worth a darn like Bill Polian/ Saturday were on their way to retirement soon anyway...

 

C. If you haven't noticed, the NFL isn't exactly thrilled with the Jags being in Jacksonville and success in Jacksonville only creates more stability in Jax and less of a chance for the team to move into a market where the big money benefits more. So yeah, I don't think the NFL wanted Luck in Jax at ALL. 

 

D. Nothing spilled yet, nope. But then again,...nothing spilled in Baseball until years later for all this steroid stuff too. Lets see what spills 10-15 years from now....
