"All that being said, give me Lions minus 20" 😂
I'll take that bet!! I got my live savings on it
Made a lot of money ey betting against the Colts.
Soft ass athletes now care more about people’s opinions than their pride in the job
Did you watch the podcast? They don’t care about the opinion. They said Pat should pick a side. Not criticize and call for ARs head one week and the next week AR should play because Flacco played bad. They said just stay on your side
@@TBW4412 so never change your opinion then? Great advice from some real intellectuals.
@@TBW4412 People can change their opinions. I'm sure Zaire has done the same.
@@zerorush9296It’s a little different. You don’t come out and say something for the world to hear and change it a week later because the QB you vouched for sucked
@@TBW4412 That's such an idiotic thing to say from them. What a bunch of morons. Pick side? To a journalist? That's why they are so useless as a team
Colts gotta tell them to delete the podcast atp😭😭😭 Pats killing these boys
I’m with Pat on this one. If you want to talk smack to retired Colts, try to at least win the freaking division first.
Tbf pat was absolutely Fanning the flame so he was asking for it
Retired colt? Bro was a punter. Relax.
@@nathan3859 Must be new to sports huh?
@@nathan3859 a punter whose teammates never needed to call out for lack of work ethic in press conferences. THIS colts team has teammates doing that. THIS colts team has a QB tap out because he didn't have the conditioning and needed a breather. pat is on hall of fame ballots. these guys are closer to being cut than being in the hall.
@jimai808 Ask Pat what Andrew Luck thinks of him.
You can tell pat really loves the colts. He don't get upset like this usually but they really hurt his feelings on this one. You the man pat. These youngins today got no competitive integrity
What does that even mean?
Competitive integrity is a great phrase lol
These dudes have the most alpha job ever and still act like whiney teens
Pat is going full heel!! 😂😂😂
Pulled up his college record 💀
That had to be done
what does the college record indicate?
@@FreekyeightHe is not used to winning
Not one lie was told just now. Pat shouldnt be the one holding them accountable. They should be doing that themselves
Never go against the family in public that's traitor mentality
Breaking news, player on a bad team upset at media pointing out they are a bad team 😂
just not what happened but alr
Comedy
@@fxl61nah that’s pretty much what happens. When you listen to what pats really saying he always loops around to the same points: expectations for the season, expectations for the qb, and how much this roster is being paid.
This roster costs more than the 49ers or lions or packers and are right next to the chiefs. And they stink. The players on this team are underperforming their contracts, there’s no way around that 😂
Pat shows AR support when he plays well and deserves support, Whenever AR plays badly Pat just points out the obvious. The Colts have a job to do and that is WIN football games! Pat has a job to do as well. That job is to speak about things he sees and hears around the NFL and sports. Colts locker room needs an attitude adjustment Pat is the only one in media who even acknowledges them.
You’re joking right? Pat was on national television calling for AR to be benched because Flacco gave us the best chance to win. Idiotic take considering Flacco led the team to its worst offensive games of the year. That’s real support right there
🗣️🗣️🗣️
@@huntermalee2620 You say that as if it was unexpected, Flacco prior was playing well and decent for a backup. As evident by the Browns play. At the time everything that was said was true, and then became apparent that it wasn't the right call by everyone's standards. And look at what the benching did for AR, it was absolutely necessary. AR can't be allowed to tap out of the game and have no repercussions for it, he has to rise to the leadership position he's in.
@@huntermalee2620Pat was not pointing out the obvious. He was wishing for the downfall of a 22 year old with 9 starts all because of a sideline incident and then immediately backtracked the second AR came back it’s fake fan behavior
@@ryanmitchell715ur emotional.
I love that pat ain’t skeeerd
keep pounding
Who would be scared of a kicker like pat
The most upvoted comment on this video didnt agree with pat, its been deleted.
@@pumpk35 They're censoring people over here?
@@Benw3790 he is scared that’s why he’s deflecting on other thing, bringing up Zs history, when his co host is literally a 1st round BUST 💀💀 but obviously he just has Yes Men around him
AR15 deserved the criticism rightly so, I appreciate his teammates standing up for him but nothing Pat said was out of line if you were a colts fan
He hasn’t said a peep since though.
they need to focus on winning not the media. thats their problem. Zaire was talking loads of crap this offseason on his pod
I mean Zaire does his part damn near more than anyone else, doesnt bother me. If he sucked it would be a problem.
@ they’re losing. thats the problem. they’re mouths should be shut including his
@@maxthompson9350 Allowing the 3rd most rushing yard in the league is "doing his part"?
@@zlonex6 a linebacker isnt going to win them games, hes a top end player in the NFL. Speaking his mind for his guys, nothing wrong w it imo.
@ oh nice google search, thats cute. Gus bradley has terrible schemes and walks every snap down w the same 4 front, w no stunts nothing. Buckner was out 4 games as well. Theres 11 ppl on the field not just zaire.
Pat played on a team with several HOFers and went to a Super Bowl. These Colts are one roster cut away from working at McDonald's.
Yes…but come onnnn that was him and most of those guys riding the coattails of Manning. Pat was doing sketchy and stupid things while the professionals won them games.
Now this is the Pat I love
There’s a reason the people that love Pat, love Pat. Never met the man, but have a good amount of respect for him.
Clearly some colts players using burners in these comments. Pat stood on business and the players need to stfu and play well.
Wipe your chin when you're done
Pat didn't stand on shi😂 he a goofball just like u
@@Boxingmindsetttfound the fairy colts fan, AR makes you tap out lil bro
@@Gabegabegabe593 pat can't take valid criticism
@@NatesHandlebars Neither can Colts players apparently.
Pat's upset but still says "we". He's a colt for life, but the WWE comes out in him when he flips for hot streaks or campus visits lol. Pat you are one of a kind, man
Lions by 30
Yeah I’m a Colts fan and I totally agree with Pat! Nothing he said was out of pocket. Everybody just do their job!
How are y’all turning on Pat and he is literally one of our biggest fans and reps for us so much!? 🙄
I’m with him, fix your locker room before you worry about the media
Not sure how I feel about one of our captains gossiping on a podcast in the middle of the season. Probably why we haven't won anything for years now. Just not a winning culture in that locker room under Ballard.
100% they got all time in the day to podcast and not get better. When we had winning teams. You didn't hear anybody talking about anything
Pat has been the only person supporting the colts for the past month
I was bummed oht to see Pat diss the Colts. Initially. After today’s game. He’s absolutely right. He has been very positive on the Def and Special Teams. As a passionate Colts fan and former player for the team, he SHOULD be calling out BS. But ultimately Colts fans NEED Pat and the Colts franchise to unite. We’re better that way.
Is it a requirement for professional athletes to be so sensitive?
I mean to be fair, we’re all sensitive about our jobs. The difference is that we don’t go on a podcast to talk about it.
They have been told all their lives that they are extra special. Too bad the moment they get into the NFL everybody is extra special, so for the first time in their lives they are just regular guys. Must be hard for those egos.
I'm guessing you take zero pride in your work. That's just sad
the fact he almost hit on the minus 20
Lions -7 is the craziest line I've seen this year
Yeah it’s too low, -20 sounds more like it 😂
Their defense is like a group of peewee players. They allow almost 4 touchdowns a game. Then they want to talk crap because there qb, who is the least accurate qb in history, get criticism.
I think this is the most I've seen Pat clap back and I'm here for it.
Lions won by 18 points… he was pretty dam close
“Lions -20” as a joke is crazy knowing that he would have covered the spread that game 😂😂😂
I love when Pat throws trash at people but does it like 'oh im not saying this, but I will say it '
Colts will have a full regime change in like 3 years and they’ll all come on the show
What some of you fail to understand is that Pat being a generation older than AR , i believe his criticism waz meant to be constructive. I believe he meant is more as a older fanily memeber scilding you when your making decisions that will lead to your downfall . You dont like it st the time but in the future will realize he meant it to help you. You cant coddle people and baby them when you get older you will realize that the people who will tell you what you dont want go hear are the ones that actually cared about you . And all your "friends" didn't give 2 shits about you . kids please stop being such sensitive babys .
Also you are allowed to change your opinion just because you say somthing about someone doesnt mean you're locked jnto that thought for life . That doesnt make you fake wth is wrong with people
This bodes well for Pat shaking The Lions Hahnds ❤
Pat is a colts legend at this point. He’s allowed to call out the bs that goes on with this mediocre ass team!! Get The Sheriff on the show to Pat and let him talk about how bad the colts have been since Luck retired see if the butt hurts the players too
That was a mic drop, for real. He so eloquently pointed out that he has been a consistent championship presence, and this kid hasn't won at anything. Then he dropped the bomb. I like it.
I love the way you love the Colts. You call it like you see it. Pat we are going to the superbowl 💙
Nailed it Pat!!
Maybe the colt problem is that some of their team mates are focused on doing podcast instead of watching film or working out. IDK, that their locker room not mine.
Do you work 24/7? They arent allowed to have lives?
@@Reggie717they shouldn’t do it during the season.
@@Reggie717 Can't work two jobs. Football is first and only. The podcast wannabe celebrity side hussel is off season. If they want to do it, be a returning guest on someone else's podcast.
@ your favorite player prolly be in the strip club every night. Dont get holier than thou over a 2 hr pidcast
@@FootballClubDavid_WI_USA talking on camera for two hours is not a distraction. Get off your high horse
Yea Pat you spoke the loudest and you're former Colt! Don't hide from it!😂
I love when it's everyone else's fault. Winning strategy right there. 😂😂😂
And so it begins, pms vs colts. (why would you name your team after baby horses?)
Pats got the right mentality. We miss that here in Indy. Fire Ballard.
All the colts hate Pat now 😂
Nahh just the overly sensitive ones… the mature guys probably have nothing against Pat
Why does Pat McAfee look like Brett Farve here 😂
this is hilarious
PREACH.
Pat against the Colts is bananas
I'm with Pat
Good for Pat!
As a Colts fan this is hilarious 😅 and Pats speaking facts
You know the team sucks when they’ve almost managed to turn Pat mcafee against them😂
As a lifelong colts fan I was spoiled
for years we owned the South. Now we are the reason the jags only get two wins. 😢😢
Winning solves everything boys.
Pat is the man he supports this team and gives criticism hes a former player of the franchise nothing but love
Pat rightfully called out AR when he deserved to be called out. They putting Flacco and he supported Flacco cuz the colts are his team. AR comes back and plays well and they support him. His job is to cover sports and he calls it how he sees it. Some people are way too sensitive on this, he’s doing his job
I didn’t even know who tf Zaire Franklin was until now💀
Why can't he call out the Colts owner?
The owner tries to win in my eyes, how many different coaches and QBs has he brought in 😂😂
My gif y’all still on this?
Pat is 1000000 right here
Bro was damn near spot on
Everyone commenting on this clearly never watched the pod and saw what was actually said.
Honestly no one even heard of the podcat prior to this, so...
Stfu he shouldn’t have a podcast to begin with dudes irrelevant
I watched and saw what was says… Z & EJ were tripping.
Pat never go against the family in public again
If Zaire is going to act like this then how about prove Pat wrong. If not, then Pat’s right for calling out the disfunction and lack of discipline of the team because what they’re doing is not translating to wins. 🤷♂️
Let’s gooooo Stay Hard. Cmon players.
I wish you were wrong Pat, but seems like a fair statement to me...
And pat hasn’t said a word about him since. While he constantly criticizes Kirk Cousins, Caleb Williams, Mahomes. Not one word on Anthony Richardson.
You wrong for that Pat 😂😂 -20??
Very smart Pat! Place the chip right on their shoulders.
Stay on that side when this team starts winning football games again.
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Colts owner Irsay said he was being targeted by cops for being a white billionaire, after he was arrested for driving drunk and loaded on drugs 😂 Pat never covered it
Pat knows Jim is insane. He doesn’t say anything about it just being nice to the guy that drafted and paid him.
Nah pat neeeds to own it. He went hard on ar for the tap out. And why are trashing them if thats your team?
He trashed him? Or said what everyone else in media said? They have never seen a qb, leader of the team tap out because he's tired
@@g8TR_ he can say what he wants. When things are going good its us, we. But when its bad its them, they. The players expect him to be an ally and not just jump on the pile
Dude tapped out like a little baby. I don't care if that's your team or not. Pat has won championships in the men's game and he doesn't owe a second year bum, who was the first QB in history to pull himself from a game for being winded, a single thing besides the dressing down that he needed and deserved.
@@117Chief930 he tapped out for one play, he didnt go full antonio brown smh
@Reggie717 name one other quarterback in the history of the game to do that, even for just one play.
I don't know how y'all keep making excuses for this and trying to rationalize it and diminish it. If it wasn't a big deal, it would have happened before. If it wasn't a big deal, every single ex player wouldn't have said it was.
Lmao since when tf did a middle linebacker depict the outcome of a season.
Pats needed to chill since he was talking about Johnathon Taylor getting paid
Pats comments on AR weren't even bad!! What are we talking about here??
I’m with Pat but he was part of some of those seasons when they didn’t win the AFC south also 😂
Yeah I thought Zaire was in his feelings… whining & crying. I like Zaire, EJ and the podcast but I’m team Pat for sure
Pat looks cold
Pat calls a spade a spade. He loves the Colts franchise clearly, but he's not one sugarcoat thing are going wrong
Lol you did the boyz a favor. I don't think people even knew they had a podcast
This is some professional pettiness.
You were one to 1st jump on National media about AR. But you are also local, prior player of the Colts and I think ( just my opinion ) you should have been ALL in for AR. I was and still am....js🤔
He's not a delusional fan. He called it how he sees it, which every other player or ex player in the NFL agreed with. Why do you want him to glaze this kid and tell him that he's an amazing and special young man, like he's been told every other day of his life, when he needs to get a reality check and grow up quickly and get himself sorted out. AR needed to hear that what he did was bum behavior, and unacceptable.
@@117Chief930 What do you mean not delusional. Didn't he say we were a superbowl team with Flacco? I could be wrong and he didn't say that but from what I remember isn't that what he said? If so, that is objectively delusional
@shotgunner5514 Pat's always delusional about the colts. AR was a bum last year before he got hurt, and Pat was gobbling him up. Of course he's gonna say they have a chance with Flacco. Just like he said they had a chance with AR before that.
@@117Chief930 the point of my comment was to counteract that you said he's not a delusional fan. Don't really care about the other parts lol.
@@shotgunner5514 if you can’t understand sarcasm then idk what to tell ya… he among many others believed Flacco ,made them a PLAYOFF team. He started for 2 weeks and we quickly learned that wasn’t the case, so opinions/stances changed. That’s call ADAPTING and not being pig headed
Pat can only say so much as a punter. But as a fan of the team he is spot on with his assessments.
Spent a lot of dough to see them in Foxborough (reich’s last game)two years ago. My First NFL game, looked like the colts first ever game. Comlete dogshit effort. Had to double down on the liquor to have any fun.
Highlight of the game was joining pats fans in heckling them off the field at the end. Colts players/staff absolutely saw the one heckler decked out in colts gear. Got a lot of death stares from the boys lol
Pat gets called out then gets all defensive lmfaoooo bro is a big baby😭
I mean Pat isn't wrong
As a colts fan… damn it
Perfectly petty！ Love it!
AJ looks cold AF.
i turned on the pod and took a nap..missed the whole fcking thing fck
Some of these athletes soft as hell. Work hard to get a paycheck and then turn into chumps.
Especially when you realize that this roster is the 6th most expensive in the entire league… chiefs are 5th, Texans are 7th. Besides the chiefs and ravens, every other relevant roster this year is CHEAPER than the colts are, EVEN THE 49ERS. THEYRE UNDERPERFORMING.
Ok, if Pat’s gonna be this petty and go full heel I may give this show another chance even on ESPN…
Pat knows winning football, Zaire.. 🤦🏽
In a league that is all about accuracy, colts draft Richardson a guy that cant complete half his passes.
Why did the bills draft Josh Allen then? He was 55% in college
@@b-train6362Allen started almost 30 games in college. Also, Allen was not missing basic, easy throws at the rate AR has so far in league and in college. Many of the Allen incompletions are him trying to make an insane pass, not missing a swing or quick out like AR.
So in drafting Allen, you had 3 times as much film on him, and you saw that he could complete basic throws at a high percentage even though he had a lower completion % overall. These are both things AR did not have.
AR also had a reputation of being hurt and not working hard at Florida, the opposite of Allen.
finally, even in college Allen threw with consistency, and by that I mean he had a strong, quick release that was repeatable. AR is all over the place with his mechanics. His feet and hips are rarely insync with his throwing and he flicks the ball with a low elbow. this is why he throws most incompletions high; hes under the ball, not getting over top of it. You can say these things are fixable, Id say they are not because he has had all college and 2 years in league to fix it.
Of course pat mcafee i guess? Didnt watch zaires vid? He didnt appreciate the disrespect of ar especially someone who was apart of the team and was just going with what the fans say and not forming his own opinion. He never said they were good he said they had problems and they need to get better ofc. The fact that mcafee is doing this especially to his own team just hurts but he just lit a fire under our team. Give me colts by 2
Not firming his own opinion???? There’s nothing substantial to come to that conclusion
Sales forgive sin and coffee is for closers. Franklin clearly hasn't had any coffee before.
they said the media burned AR but then praise him or say he the choice
But if the colts win a championship Pat will try his hardest to be in the parade lol my guy you were a punter 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
"Colts win a championship" Mfer we can't even win the worst division in football for what now? 10 years? LMAO
@ I know that obviously. I’m saying if we win a chip in the future Pats weird ass would be the type to try and run the parade downtown
Punter but yet a Colts legend
Players in season shouldn’t be doing pods. Focus on football.
People that glaze Pat work minimum wage jobs
Pot calling the kettle black?
Weird ass comment .
The irony coming from AR glazers that treat him like a God when he hasn't accomplished a damn thing.
@ defend the meat head.
@@censortube8662 Imagine worshipping a QB with a losing record who can't play half the games in a season.
picked the wrong fight bro 😂😂
Keep in mind Zaire is a 7th rounder
BOOOOO PAT
If you're a long time Colts fan then you know this Ballard regime is soft and mediocre
Fire everybody
