Whenever I hear Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay speak, one of several things always comes to mind: This man wants the glory days of Peyton Manning & Co. back more than anything.
If you watch or read any press conference or interview that Irsay gives, he almost always references Manning, his former teammates or the era of Colts football when they played.
While those days are long gone, that doesn’t mean that the franchise can’t return to that level of success. Being the winningest regular season team of any singular decade is great, but I guarantee you that the Colts would have been just as happy going 10-6 every year in the 2000’s as long as it resulted in more than one Super Bowl victory.
