Hope you're right and that this is the coaching staff seeing that the rails have left the tracks and they're trying to slow things down for AR before he goes crashing off a cliff. But in all likelihood this means he's probably done at least w/ the Colts.

Agree on all counts. Something changed because of Sunday.

I wonder if AR told Steichen and/or Kelly to go fuck themselves when they tried to talk to him about tapping out of the game.

Also, I'm tired of hearing all of these former players and analysts saying that in all of their years in football that they have never seen this in an NFL game.

Harbaugh did it in the 1st game of the '97 season in loss to the Dolphins. The difference is that Harbaugh pulled himself from the game and never went back in. This was a big deal then and I believe led to the fight Harbaugh had with Jim Kelly after Kelly questioned his toughness.

Think someone posted that Harbaugh had to take fluids at the half. If so then there's probably more to him pulling himself than just being tired. Like he had the flu or something along those lines.
