He's the best.

Agreed, Reggie is a great Colt.

Come to think of it, the Colts don't have a lot of disgruntled former players that I can think of. I don't know if it comes from picking players with the right attitude, or just providing a good environment. I lean towards the latter. Whatever his personal demons, Irsay just seems to know how to play the role of an owner. He's loyal to his employees, and lets them do their job, and doesn't get in the way. I'm sure he provides his input, but I've never heard any former employee say that he meddled too much. If anything, he's too loyal - I remember Pagano saying something to the effect that he probably got more time as head coach than he deserved.
