Colts proprietor Jim Irsay phone calls Carson Wentz era ‘a mistake’

April 8, 2022 Bella

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay had a ton to say about his previous quarterback Carson Wentz at the owners conferences on Tuesday, and it doesn’t feel like he held again a one emotion.

“I think the worst detail you can do is have a error and attempt to retain living with it going ahead,” Irsay reported by way of the Indianapolis Star. “For us, it was a thing we had to transfer away from as a franchise. It was pretty noticeable.”

That sentiment just isn’t a surprise, due to the fact approximately absolutely everyone observed the Wentz-Colts relationship was not operating by the close of the season. But to hear Irsay say it so baldly is unforeseen. In his feedback on Tuesday, Irsay did not look to hold anything again or sugarcoat a solitary thought or sensation.

Irsay was primarily pointed when chatting about the Colts’ 7 days 18 loss to the flailing, going-nowhere Jacksonville Jaguars. That Wentz-engineered loss took Indy out of the playoffs, and it proceeds to haunt him.

“No disrespect to Jacksonville, but I indicate, they’re the worst staff in the league. You engage in effectively and really hard for the initially quarter or so, and they are seeking to go to their locker home and clean up it out. I’ve by no means observed something like that in my existence,” Irsay said. “You say, ‘My God, there’s a little something completely wrong listed here.’ It demands to be corrected. I consider that we experience like we did.”

“Your guy’s gotta decide on you up and have you as a result of Jacksonville,” Irsay mentioned. “He has to do it. Not an option. Has to. No excuses, no explanations.”

Steve Nash calls Khris Middleton’s foul on Bruce Brown ‘dangerous,’ Kevin Durant objects to ‘reckless’ play

NEW YORK — In the middle of the fourth quarter of the Milwaukee Bucks’ 120-119 overtime win over the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday, an exciting game took a frightening turn when Khris Middleton fouled Bruce Brown on a breakaway dunk. Middleton was assessed a flagrant-2 foul and ejected.

It happened after Giannis Antetokounmpo tried to drop off a pass to Jrue Holiday and Brown stole it, then took off the other way. Brown slowed down, Middleton caught up and Middleton fouled Brown in mid-air. Brown crashed to the ground in dangerous fashion, and, after a replay review, it was ruled a flagrant-2.

“I thought the Middleton play was risky,” Nets coach Steve Nash said. “A guy has left his feet and you’re coming behind; if you grab the arm, that’s a very dangerous play. Unfortunate. I don’t think Khris is a dirty player at all, but that is a dangerous play.”

Brown said he saw Middleton behind him before he took off.

“I didn’t think he was gonna grab me out the air,” Brown said,” but it’s cool. It was just a hard foul. I’m good.”

After the foul, Brown remained in the game. He said that he feels “fine” and “just bruised a bone in my wrist.” Asked if it was a basketball play, Brown said, “It’s a hard foul. He wasn’t trying to — I mean, it’s an open dunk. I mean, I wouldn’t do it, but I don’t care. It’s fine.”

Kevin Durant was less diplomatic when it came to the foul that caused his own uncomfortable landing. Late in overtime, the Bucks’ Wesley Matthews fouled Durant on a corner 3, contesting the shot from the side and falling into Durant’s leg. Durant was awarded three free throws, but he said it wasn’t called a flagrant foul
