I hope he doesn't share that with others.

Doyel is an idiot. Patriot-bashing idiot who in the past accused Patriot fans of slashing his tires when in actuality was a psycho ex girlfriend.

Maybe.

The only thing about Doyel that I respect is how open he is about his battle with depression.

Everything else he is a 1st class jerk.

I remember that. Doyel never mentioned any evidence, even an anonymous comment on one of his articles to support his claim, but he had no problem accusing Patriots fans of the crime. If Gregg is 1/2 the jerk in real life that he is is while at work, there's a list of suspects a mile long (mail carriers, landscapers, neighbors, co-workers, family, delivery people, retail employees, restaurant staff, passersby, and so on.) But, yeah, it was a Patriots fans. Who live in Indiana. Who know where Gregg lives. And who left no indication that they rooted for the Patriots at the crime scene.

This mindset probably isn't a coincidence, but when the Wickersham story was getting attention a couple of weeks ago, I saw a post on twitter that Seth once said in a radio interview that he thought noises in his house were due to something sinister by the Pats or their fans. This guy really believed that an NFL team was sending people to his house to scare him.

It's funny, when these guys, especially Wickersham, write something negative about the Patriots, other media members defend their character and objectivity. In the meantime, their behavior reveals a bias against the team.

Doyel's just mad because he thinks that Josh slashed his tire a couple years ago

Yea, I live here and know several other Patriot fans here too - but for him to make a claim like this - it had to be the product of one wild, runaway, imagination. I have no idea where the guy lives.

Regarding previous comments, there is a ton of resentment in the Indy area regarding the Pats and what they have accomplished. One TV anchor 2 nights ago made the snarky comment "Well, the Colts will have to wait until the Patriots are eliminated from the playoffs before they can talk to Josh". She got an email from me on that one.

I do hope Josh doesn't come here - he deserves better.

I think josh is making a mistake by passing on Tennessee. He’ll need to turn the Indy program around fast or the natives are going to get restless.

Indy reminds me of when Pitino took the Celtics job thinking he could build around Tim Duncan, only to end up with Ron Mercer instead. If Luck’s arm is shot, that team could be in for a tough rebuild.

That's a tough rebuild even if Luck comes back 100% healthy. Seriously, Frank Gore has been their leading rusher for the past three seasons, and three of their best players on defense this past season were Sheard, Mingo and Bostic.

Thanks for the warning!

How about intentionally losing/throwing games in order to get a #1 pick?

The worst crime in sports is throwing the game, match, etc..., the Colts threw a season.

It’s a shame he chose Indy, now I have to root for him to fail completely.

This will be a funny article to look at down the road when McDaniels and Luck are lighting it up.

I still think that was greatly exaggerated. Why didn’t they start Painter all along and why did he end up getting benched?

I would not classify the Mcdaniels hire as a great one or a no brainer...it is a risky suspect hire until Mcdaniels proves himself as a HC. Mcdaniels has only earned a reputation being the OC for Tom Brady ... otherwise he has been a JAG coach.

One of my sons went to grad school at IU during the early 2000's and he had some interesting stories about his encounters with Indiots there.

It's pronounced Greg-guh.

Bah. It was more likely than not some pity ploy and not anything real. I wouldn’t believe a word of it unless the doctor under oath released the medical records to the public.

Doyel would say anything.

If he would stoop to that level.....

What a pathetic excuse for a human being.

Nothing like getting news and opinions from the mentally disturbed?
Rather than reading the link, I'll just ask the schizophrenic homeless guy digging through the garbage what he thinks of McDaniels taking the Colts HC gig.

Well, he’s certainly given us plenty of evidence that’s exactly what he is.
