2) he has no leverage. he is under contract. his only good option is to play.

3) he has no leverage. he may be injured. we aren't signing him injured. no reason to

4) he said 4 months ago he would play out his contract. he is going against his word. nobody is on his side. his agent gave him horrible advice. he looks like an asshole. he can't even win public opinion.

5) nobody is going to trade him and pay him the contract he wants. nobody. his only hope is the colts just say fuck this guy and send him away because he is a dick. but still, he won't get paid a lot of money. he created this problem. i think other gm's will see this

Well said!

However, if he changes his tune, I will go back to being a JT fan.

same

but i will just think he is kind of a dipshit. i don't begrudge him at all for trying to get paid. but asking for a trade is stupid. he got some bad advice and took it

Dipshit is the perfect word, something I have been more times than I want to remember. From what everyone says he is a smart likable young man. Like most of us he will learn from his mistakes. Shit, I would have hated to have 24 year old me be held accountable for myself on national media. Problem for us Colts fans is most of us take years to learn, we don't have years, JT needs to get his shit together quickly.

Obviously JT didn't major in economics at Wisconsin.
