i think there is value by staying on the active roster for now. unless the soreness just doesn't go away

He was asked whether they considered putting him on IR to free up a roster spot and he said absolutely not.

Of course, it affects ticket sales.

That may be but I hope he returns even if it's just for the last couple of games because I think it's an important part of his process to get some real game reps under his belt so he can come back next year with a new head coach and really be back in game form vs still be in a recovery process.

i don't think that has anything to do with it at this point

Yeah, most Tickets are already paid for.

It can drastically affect the secondary ticket market. If ticket scalpers/agencies/etc can't sell their tickets, or if some people stop going, it affects the team's pocket books with concessions, apparel, and other game day sales. I saw one figure for 2013 where the Colts got $5.2 million from concessions.

It also may affect how much the advertisers pay during the game for commercials.

you are wrong

Shocked, just absolutely shocked...

Jim Irsay is a con-artist...

I don't mind a lost year in which this team accrues draft capital while blooding its young players.

I do mind a lost year in which this team has Pagano as a lame duck coach, teaching players a system that won't be in place a year from now and not blooding young players in the process.
