Pat McAfee has some things to get off his chest.
The former Indianapolis Colts punter and current ESPN and WWE personality unloaded on the team Sunday night after its 45-33 loss to the New York Giants ended its playoff hopes.
His long post on social media noted, “In the biggest moments everybody with a brain knew they’d crack.. and they did.”
He was just warming up.
“A blind person could see the red flags on this team.. Work ethic questions, NEVER happens on good teams.. Preparation commitment questions, NEVER happens on good teams.. Late to meetings, NEVER happens on good teams.. Late to/skipping treatment, NEVER happens on good teams.. The franchise QB tapped out of a game.. on 3rd down.. in the red zone.. because he was tired… NEVER HAPPENED in the history of the NFL.”
Doyel: Frustratingly consistent Colts put joke on us. Playoffs?!
McAfee took aim at fans who he says tried to vilify him earlier this season after he pointed out these issues. Also, he’s unsure how the Colts should move forward.
“I have no idea how they fix it.. I don’t think it’s like a light switch. “Alright, we’re gonna become Pros now” but… maybe it is, but what do I know?”
McAfee said he feels terribly for team support personnel, isn’t renewing his season tickets, and believes that players and coaches “deserve whatever happens to them,” calling some of them “bums.”
He concludes: “I’ve never seen a group waste opportunities/talent/money more than this group.”
I’ve said what I believed to be the truth about the team.. & a bunch of “Colts fans” on the internet were trying to get me booed out of the city..
Current players, who have won nothing during their entire tenures, started using me and my face to try and paint me as the enemy in… https://t.co/qCWb7SL1l8
