If you didn't hate Mitch King before, I suggest you do now

sorry aint happening. Im a big mitch king fan and I hope he proves them all wrong. just because he plays for the titans doesnt mean Im going to instantly hate him. in fact this is just stupid that you have this write up because the fact he narrowed it down to indy and tenn…which is now his best fit (and the fact that he could care less who paid him more…he just wants to play football) says more about the guy and speaks volumes about his work ethic and his will to win.

I LOVE MITCH KING…go get em mitch

the fact that the titans still cant score and mitch plays d really is another reason not to go into hate mode about a tough hardworking guy. sorry but this is lame

Im laughing more at your guy percy harvin. swine flu? or was it a great party. dehydration problems. who is surprised about this??

the colts fans wanted to draft this idiot….Come on everyone, let’s all laugh at him. Hahahafhahfhasidfhaoighaoihoaihah. Dumbass

and I forgot to add that OBVIOUSLY mitch king was not oblivious to the fact the colts wanted to goand WERE going bigger. Im pretty sure he saw who the colts picked and knew picking a team HE COULD ACTUALLY PLAY for and fit would be just a little bit wiser on his part. the fact that indy was second on his list was more on his thought on the great organizition and wanted to play for a winner but come on here…it all goes back to which team is the better fit and why I find this ripping inappropriate

who would have guessed………………..insecurity. lol, i’m just screwin with you

King would have gotten alot of playing time since we didn’t have much depth at DT to begin with.

Hate to be “that guy,” but you had the caplocked word in the wrong tense.

Foster = BEAST. Plus he knows the Colts system

But, his loss. Oh well.

He thinks he can make it at DE with the Titans, he chose to take himself out of any opportunity to get significant playing time on the field. I commented on draft day to my dad multiple times that if this guy has any brain in his head, he and his agent will realize that the opportunity to play football in the NFL starts and ends with the Colts for a guy his size.

He’ll have to be so good that the Titans are forced to drastically change their approach somewhere on their defense if he’s going to be a regular contributor for the Titans. If he can do that, way to go. I’m guessing he won’t be able to. Maybe we’ll snag him when he becomes a free agent?

after reading the headline i really thought there would be some “inside” info with Mitch talking smack about the Colts or saying something disrespectful or uncalled for. you cant fault a guy for choosing to work for one company or the other. what you know about the guy probably ends with football stats. maybe he has family in TN? Maybe its been a desire for him to play for the Titans. I only root for the Colts in the NFL, that means i dislike the other 31 teams but I dont turn any sort of dislike for players unless they actually deserve it. The link to the article in your post doesnt make me think any less of Mitch King at all. It makes me think that all of us who wanted to see him play for the Colts were right on the money. I agree with bamock. If he becomes a free agent i’d love to see him come to Indy.

why dont you come up with better suggestions for the readers in your next post bro.

Your link to the Mitch King story is in fact a link to the front page of Paul K’s AFC South blog. That article won’t be on the front page forever, and then it would be a giant pain for anybody reading your story later to find Paul K’s story. I would suggest replacing the link you have there with the story link:

this is a pretty sad post … KR, after a great write up in “Believe in Blue”, this is a step backwards … you can’t call a guy a dumbass just cause he chooses a team besides the Colts, you may not like it, but as a contributing writer you have to present your thoughts with a little more class than this …

and to diss the guy… because its the titans our now biggest rival in the division…and the fact that THEY did win our division which was hard for any of us to take and we all would love to believe they will just freefall from top to bottom but I dont … so calling mitch a dumbass for chosing the team who did win the divison, thats as questionable as the rest of the article … also… do you think dallas clark and bob sanders are going to have special priviledges to help mitch make this team just because they both went to the same college as he did?

Im not a jets fan but I love shonn greene and yes they are not our division rivals but I am going to cheer for his success like I will cheer for mitch’s because I LOVE both of these underdogs with class.

Im sure mitch king wanted to play for the colts and thinks nothing less of this team other than great and if this would have been a dungy coached team, Im guessing we would all be praising the pick of mitch king because he is exactly the size and player dungy preferred. but he just happened to be in the wrong year of us going bigger

He is a Titan now.

I was a colts fan LONG before any of my hawks were every drafted by them

I became a colts fan because of #7 when I was in elementary school. because of bert jones! while everybody around me loved the bears, vikings, packers and chiefs I chose the colts.

I was one of those dreaded…eeeks….baltimore colts fans. once a fan always a fan. they packed the mayflower , drove off into the snow and I was beside myself. I refused to call them indianapolis colts, but just colts for the first year but I never wavered as a fan. then I realized this is the same team! my team. I watched them suck for 20 some odd years with idiot draft choice after idiot draft choice so I guess Im the dumbass for cheering for them when I could have easily have chosen the team the resembled MY team the iowa hawkeyes and been a steelers fan…YIKES!

calling somebody a dumbass for picking a team thats a loser….

the only team I HATE is the team that plays where I live.

pretty sure none of us would call edgerrin james a dumbass because he left the colts and then we went on to win the superbowl. the fact that many colts fans still adore him only proves why mitch king and the dumbass calling article should have been avoided

We don’t even know if he’d have made the team. I personally don’t know anything about the guy because I now live in the south and don’t get to see Big 10 football anymore. Is he even built for our kind of defense? Is he fast enough? Can he fill in on special teams like Derrell Reid did? Maybe he has more in common with the player the Titans are looking for and thought he had a better chance. This article takes homerism to a new extreme.

“I love the way guys bounce off of him,” the Jets head coach said at his just concluded news conference between today’s early and late rookie minicamp practices. “He goes rolling in there and guys are going flying. It doesn’t matter who it is. An offensive teammate went flying today. He hits that hole, and this is a big man coming through there. He runs low. He’s just a big old rascal. But they do, they bounce off him.”

Shonn Greene"Unfortunately," Rex added, “some of the passes bounce off him.”

Ryan provided an exchange between QB Mark Sanchez and Greene after one dropped pass.

Sanchez: “Sorry, I should’ve put that on the other shoulder.”

Greene: “I just don’t catch very well.”

If Polian and Caldwell thought Mitch King was “all that and a bag of chips”, they would have drafted him or at least been a little more aggressive about signing him as a UFA.

Now to something more important…. Donal Brown Nicknames!

Sing with me to the tune of Bad, Bad Leroy Brown by Jim Croce………………………………

“Bad….Bad….Donald Brown”
   “Fastest Man in the whole darn Town”
“Badder than old King Kong”
    “Meaner than a Junk Yard DOG!”

Yes, can you hear it in 70,000 voices at LOS after every long run or TD!!

Welcome to the Colts Bad, Bad Donald Brown! Can’t wait to see your stiff arm in action!!

The Mitch King issue is DEAD, let’s not beat on it!

How about a comment on the NICKNAME? I work 3rd shift as an Aircraft Mechanic Crew Chief and I Don’t get to Post when other people are reading and posting…at least most of the time.

I added it to the FanPost for D. Brown nicknames, but I was a little late to get comments.

Just sounds like something fun for the fans to do as we wait patiently thru all the camps, injury reports, cut days, pre-season, etc.

fred taylor cant catch the ball one lick and he turned out pretty good. lets face it shonn greene is not the colts style of player and I truely dont think anybody or himself ever invisioned playing for the colts. he is a RUNNING BACK!

as for donald brown, what can brown do for you is too used. we want something more flashy that is his colts calling. I want to see him run in a colts uniform and then I think it will be clearer on what we call him. I like the idea of something not with the name brown in it. sanders is the hitman. something to that effect. hate the initials nickname. dont do that

I know you’re bored and all, but come on. It’s not like he’s Luke Recker or Sean May or something…he made a smart move.

The Colts are hellified deep, and are even pretty deep at DT right now. There are between 5-7 guys on the squad right now who could easily make this team ahead of King at DT. He knew it, and he figured he’d be smarter to go play for a LESSER team that he could actually get some burn for. More power to him. Have fun trying to stop the run without Albert “The Stomper” Haynesworth on the other side of you.

and one last thing…I wish when somebody is trying to prove they are dumbasses and or the wrong choice in a teams draft pick they would actually include the entire articles of quotes.

like shonn greene

05/02 — Rex Ryan gave a great scouting report of Shonn Greene, the Jets’ third-round draft pick, as both a runner AND a receiver.

“I love the way guys bounce off of him,” the Jets head coach said at his just concluded news conference between today’s early and late rookie minicamp practices. “He goes rolling in there and guys are going flying. It doesn’t matter who it is. An offensive teammate went flying today. He hits that hole, and this is a big man coming through there. He runs low. He’s just a big old rascal. But they do, they bounce off him.”

“Unfortunately,” Rex added, “some of the passes bounce off him.”

Ryan provided an exchange between QB Mark Sanchez and Greene after one dropped pass.

Sanchez: “Sorry, I should’ve put that on the other shoulder.”

Greene: “I just don’t catch very well.”

“At least the kid’s honest,” said Rex, who isn’t worried about that part of the Iowa product’s game. He said RBs coach Anthony Lynn is staying on Greene and working with him after practice.

they know what they got and why they traded 3 picks to get him. it wasnt for pass catching.

 Dan Pastorini, when the titans were the oilers, once had this to say about earl campbell’s receiving: “He couldn’t catch a cold”. Campbell did ok for himself running as well. In the nfl, offenses like to get the ball to running backs in space, and a well executed screen pass can be a big play also. But ryan has planned on pounding the ball, and playing defense, and greene will excel. If he starts and plays the whole season, i believe he has a chnce to be rookie of the year imo said Pastorini.

not everybody is laughing at shonn greene dropping a screen pass. infact some dont really care
