Colts: Jim Irsay tweets hilarious photoshop of Peyton Manning, Edgerrin James and Marvin Harrison
By Jerry Trotta
The Indianapolis Colts are currently entrenched in their most important offseason in recent memory and it goes without saying fans could use a break from the continual rumors hinting at their supposed plans to upgrade the roster.
After all, the start of the new league year is just over two weeks away and you have to think general manager Chris Ballard will be as busy as any executive in the league when it comes to analyzing the star-studded free agent market.
With that chaos looming, now seems like as good of a time as any to highlight an absolute masterpiece of a photoshop from Colts owner Jim Irsay.
In light of the critically-acclaimed 1991 film “Boyz n the Hood” returning to theaters to celebrate its 30th anniversary, Irsay thought it’d be a great idea to take hilarious photos of Colts legends Peyton Manning, Edgerrin James and Marvin Harrison and crop them into a snapshot of the movie’s renowned drive-by scene.

Colts owner Jim Irsay tweeted a hilarious photoshop of team legends Peyton Manning, Edgerrin James and Marvin Harrison.
This might be a reactionary take, but this could be the greatest thing we’ve ever seen … next to watching Manning, James and Harrison play for the Colts back in the day, of course. We’re not entirely sure what prompted Irsay to create such a photo other than the film being back in theaters, but you won’t find us complaining about it.
Credit to the 61-year-old owner for finding the perfect headshots of the three Hall of famers to include in this photo. Manning was often showed without a smile on the sidelines until a win was confirmed, but we’re not so sure we’ve ever seen him mean mugging to this extreme. This pic had to come during a loss, no?
As for Harrison and James, well, Colts fans will remember that they were prone to the occasional meme-worthy facial expression.

Again, we may never know Irsay’s intention behind unearthing this piece of art — we seriously hope a Colts reporter asks him about it during his next scheduled press conference — but we couldn’t be more grateful that he did.
If Irsay really wanted to take this photoshop to the next level, he would turn it into a framable poster and start selling it in the Colts’ apparel store at Lucas Oil Stadium and on the team’s official website.
We obviously can’t speak for everyone, but we like to think it’d be a huge hit among fans, especially ones struggling to let go of the golden era of Colts football.
