Bill Swerski Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) This is so ghey. Irsay looks like a complete idiot... Colts.com Combining this with their mascot (Blue), I'd say that the Colts need to hire new advertising and public relations firms.

MonkeyOne Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 This is so ghey. Irsay looks like a complete idiot... While I can't fault the idea of giving a ring (or five) away to a fan for charity, yes, he really really does. Kids must love Blue though?

Bill Swerski Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 While I can't fault the idea of giving a ring (or five) away to a fan for charity Oh, I completely agree. But can't they do it in a way that that doesn't look embarrassingly stupid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyr0802 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Irsay may look ghey, but what he's doing is actually pretty cool. Tuesday, October 30RELEASE: QUEST FOR THE RING By Colts Press Release Quest for the Ring will benefit Indiana charities INDIANAPOLIS – Just as the Indianapolis Colts reaped the rewards of their victorious quest for the trophy in Super Bowl XLI, now Colts fans will have their chance to begin a quest for a one-of-a-kind prize—all to benefit Indiana charities. A first in NFL history, the Colts will provide five authentic Super Bowl XLI rings, an opportunity never before made available to the public, to fans during the Quest for the Ring contest. All proceeds will be donated to Indiana charities through the Indianapolis Colts Foundation, Inc. (ICF), a nonprofit organization. “We would not be truly victorious without the support of our fans and our community, and we have created the Quest for the Ring in recognition of this support,” said Colts Owner and CEO Jim Irsay. “It will enable us to raise significant dollars for Indiana charities while giving our fans the chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime prize.” Irsay announced the program during a special Colts Blue Tuesday rally on Monument Circle in Downtown Indianapolis at noon today. “We’re making history in the NFL today by showing how much we value our fans, fans that we know are the best in the world,” Irsay said. As suggested by the name and the prizes at stake, this is not an ordinary contest. Entrants will have to prevail through all three stages, culminating in the final challenge during halftime of the Indianapolis Colts home game on Dec. 2, 2007. To enter Stage One, fans must purchase one or more $5 tickets. Up to 200,000 tickets will be sold from noon (EDT) on Oct. 30, 2007 to noon (EST) on Nov. 20, 2007. Fans can purchase tickets at the RCA Dome in the box office during normal business hours and in the guest relations kiosks during the Nov. 4 and Nov. 18 Colts home games; at participating Indiana Ticketmaster Ticket Centers; and through the local Ticketmaster Charge-by-Phone service. The numbers for Indiana are: Anderson/Muncie (765) 644-3131; Bloomington (812) 333-9955; Evansville (812) 423-7222; Ft. Wayne (260) 424-1811; Indianapolis (317) 239-5151; Lafayette (765) 743-5151; South Bend (574) 272-7979; and Terre Haute (812) 234-2424. Tickets cannot be purchased over the Internet. On Nov. 21, 2007, 25 winning numbers and 20 alternates will be randomly selected. Those numbers will be posted on the Colts Web site (www.colts.com) that evening. Winners who provide proper notification by 5 p.m. (EST) on Nov. 27, 2007 will be deemed Stage One winners and will advance to Stage Two. In the event that proper notification is not received by winning ticket holders, alternate ticket holders will be contacted. In Stage Two, the 25 Stage One winners—and up to three “helpers” of their choice—will participate in a treasure hunt for Colts-related items around the city of Indianapolis from Nov. 30 – Dec. 1, 2007. The top 10 performers, as determined by the sole discretion of the Ravenchase Adventures LLC judges, will advance to the third and final stage. During halftime of the Colts home game on Dec. 2, 2007, the 10 Stage Two winners will gather on the field and select one locked box and key to open upon command. Five of the finalists will find an authentic Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl XLI ring inside. For a complete list of contest details and rules, visit colts.com/ring.
