OK, this is now getting officially ridiculous.
In response to the perception that Colts G.M. Bill Polian pulled the plug with 10 minutes remaining on his Monday night radio show, the Colts actually have issued a statement explaining the situation.
“When programming becomes really compelling, the host’s obligation is to continue despite the need to play commercials, and Bob Lamey and Bill Polian did that admirably,” said 93 WIBC and 1070 The Fan programming director Kent Sterling in a release issued by the Colts. “The result was that there were six minutes of commercials to play during the final seven minutes of the show. Bill remained in the studio until the show went off the air, and Bob used the final minute to wrap up the show. What happened last night is business as usual in radio.”
The fact that the Colts were forced to acknowledge the situation and provide an explanation demonstrates the depths of the hostility that the fans currently are feeling, both for not trying to win on Sunday and for brushing off the complaints raised by folks who realize that, while the Colts will be in the hunt for a Super Bowl title as long as Peyton Manning is still playing for the team, chances at perfection are rare, and as such should be embraced.
If the Colts don’t make it to the Super Bowl this year, it likely will get worse. In fact, the only guy who might be able to get the situation under control is Manning. Thus, this might be a very good time for him to finalize that contract extension that owner Jim Irsay has been mentioning.
