Colts Owner Jim Irsay Takes Game Ball To Chuck Pagano In Hospital

Found October 07, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jim Irsay,  Cory Redding
TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts,  Green Bay Packers
After the Colts 30-27 win over the Green Bay Packers, an emotional Jim Irsay gave a heartfelt speech to his team. He then took the game ball and drove straight to the hospital. Colts coach Chuck Pagano was admitted last week after being diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia

"Just a special thing to do today, especially for Chuck and this team," Colts defensive end Cory Redding said. "It was exciting. Guys in here high-fiving, hugging, tears. Because it was emotional. Our owner stepped in there and said some powerful words. Couldn't be more happier for him to get that ball, pick it up as fast as he can and go down the street and give it to Chuck in his room."

The Indianapolis Colts played the Green Bay Packers, if you got to see it you’re lucky as FOX here in Indiana did not have the Colts’ game on television but instead was playing Soccer.
