INDIANAPOLIS – Colts punter Pat McAfee tweeted in support of Jim Irsay’s firing of General Manager Ryan Grigson Saturday afternoon.

Once news spread that Grigson had been relieved of his duties, McAfee took to Twitter tweeting phrases like, “Thank God,” and “Unwanted Arrogance.”

Irsay said it was a tough decision to let go of Grigson.

“Ryan is an outstanding man,” said Irsay. “This decision was reached with a heavy heart because Ryan is a good man, a father of six, all under the age of 13. His wife has her hands full to say the least. As part of this organization, he worked tirelessly to make us better. He has a record to be proud of.”
