You hear that, Colts fans? Wayne is in Foxboro because he wants to win, which is something he knew he wouldn’t be able to do in Indianapolis. Now, I’m not saying the Colts will got 4-12, because obviously that is not true. In fact, they could very well end up a 12-4 team by the end of the 2015 season. But when Wayne says he wants to win, he means he wants to add another Super Bowl ring to his collection, and as long as the Colts’ defense can’t stop the run (and Tom Brady is in uniform), they will continuously lose to the Patriots, and fail to reach the big game.
Here are some other Wayne quotes from today: (via the terrific Mike Reiss, who was on the scene)
