INDIANAPOLIS - Jim Irsay wants to be a better team owner. Air Max 90 Leather Iron Bronze .Six days after his six-game suspension ended, the 55-year-old Colts owner broke his silence by telling a small group of reporters that hes excited about the season, feeling well and is ready to move on.Ive always said Ive felt the role of a steward here and that you learn from your mistakes, Irsay said during a 30-minute news conference Wednesday. You move on, think you can be a better person and be better at everything you do.For Irsay, it was a tough, painful lesson.Just days before Indianapolis season opener in Denver, Irsay pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour count of driving while intoxicated and acknowledged he was under the influence of the painkillers oxycodone and hydrocodone when he was arrested March 16 near his home in suburban Carmel. Within hours of his court appearance, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell handed down the suspension, which prevented Irsay from having any contact on football matters with the team or media.Some players contended Irsay got off light as his three daughters helped oversee the day-to-day football operations. He didnt address those concerns, saying only that he accepted the restrictions and followed them to the letter.But for a man who had never missed a Colts game after his father moved the team from Baltimore to Indy in 1984, there was nothing easy about the punishment.He watched intently as Indianapolis (4-2) lost its first two games, the longest losing streak of the Andrew Luck era, then watched gleefully as the Colts won four straight to move back into the AFC South lead after Thursdays win at Houston, just in time for his return to the office.All the while, Irsay watched the games nervously with family and friends, pacing anxiously as he waited to return to owners office hes had since 1997.I missed being there. It was tough not being with the guys before the game and praying with the guys before games. That was tough, he said, laughing as he acknowledged he talked with his daughters and relied on some of his favourite music to help him get through the tough times. A Jerry Garcia guitar was encased on the wall behind him.I really made up my mind to be positive about it, he added.The absence taught Irsay something else: He has to continue his recovery.In 2002, before the leagues personal conduct policy applied to team executives, Irsay acknowledged he had become dependent on painkillers after several years of orthopedic operations. He later claimed that after entering rehab, he had stayed clean and sober for years.So less than 48 hours after his March arrest, team officials said Irsay had voluntarily re-entered a treatment centre. He returned to the team in time for NFL draft weekend in May, then showed up several times at training camp. Players and coaches continually offered to support the man who signed their paychecks, even as details — various prescription drugs and more than $29,000 in cash were found in his vehicle — trickled out.Irsay didnt address the details of the arrest, but noted that being away did give him a different perspective on life in the NFL.When youre away from the team for something like that, you grow to appreciate it even more when youre back, Irsay said.Irsay was so eager to get back, he returned to the team complex within the first hour he could. And he was welcomed warmly.I couldnt even imagine how hard that was, punter Pat McAfee said. Youre talking about a guy whos been around the Colts his entire life, who personifies the Horseshoe. I was suspended one game years back and it was the worst, so I cant even imagine what six games must have been like for him.So after six excruciating weeks away from his team, Irsay plans to watch Sundays game, against the AFC North-leading Bengals (3-1-1), from the owners suite at Lucas Oil Stadium.And hes determined not to let anything force him to miss another game as long as he owns the Colts.I really am motivated to show up and do well every day, said Irsay, who still recounts his early days with the team as a ball boy for John Unitas. Theres no question great things are to be grabbed from the difficulties you go through.__Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Off White Air Max 90 .

Just about everything did. Brady threw two touchdown passes and the Cleveland Browns committed two critical penalties in the final 61 seconds as the Patriots stormed to a 27-26 victory on Sunday. "That was awesome," Brady said, "pretty sweet." The improbable rally salvaged a potentially costly day for the Patriots (10-3), who lost star tight end Rob Gronkowski to a suspected torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in the third quarter. He is expected to undergo an MRI on Monday. New England fell behind 19-3 when Jason Campbell connected with Josh Gordon for an 80-yard touchdown late in the third. Campbells third scoring pass of the day, a 4-yarder to Jordan Cameron with 2:39 left in the game, made it 26-14. Thats when Brady engineered the impressive comeback that kept the Patriots in front in the race for the No. 2 playoff seed in the AFC. Had New England lost, Cincinnati would have moved into the second position. "How many times has he done that in his career?" Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said after his teams seventh loss in eight games. "We had our opportunity and we werent able to close the game out how we wanted to." Brady threw a 2-yard scoring pass to Julian Edelman with 1:01 left and a 1-yarder to Danny Amendola with 31 seconds remaining. The Browns (4-9) had one last chance, but Billy Cundiff missed a 58-yard field goal attempt on the final play. "We had to make just about every play that we made at the end today," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said, "and, fortunately, we did." The Patriots trailed at intermission for the fourth consecutive game and have won three of them. But this one may have been the toughest. They cut the deficit to 26-21 on Edelmans touchdown. A 15-yard penalty against the Browns for unnecessary roughness on Edelman allowed the Patriots to kick off from the 50-yard line, rather than their 35. Those 15 yards became very significant when Kyle Arrington recovered the onside kick at the Cleveland 40. It was the first time since Jan. 1, 1995, in an AFC playoff game that the Patriots had recovered an onside kick. That also came against the Browns, who were coaached by Belichick.

"The balls cold, so (its) a little slippery for a guy," Arrington said. "Fortunately, it hit one of their guys first and I was just able to jump on it." Brady began the winning drive with a 10-yard pass to Amendola. Then Leon McFadden was penalized for defensive pass interference against Josh Boyce in the end zone, putting the ball at the 1. McFadden and Chudzinski disagreed with the call. "I felt like those two were both jostling for the ball," Chudzinski said. "It really doesnt matter what I think." After Amendolas touchdown, the Browns moved to the Patriots 40 with 1 second left, but Cundiffs kick came up short. "I have never been a part of a game like this," Browns cornerback Joe Haden said. "This one hurts for real." The late comeback ruined another brilliant game by Gordon, who had seven catches for 151 yards. It was the third time in four weeks that he scored on pass plays of more than 70 yards. Gordon set an NFL record of 774 yards receiving in four consecutive games. Calvin Johnson set the previous mark of 746 this season. Gordon also set a single-season team record for yards receiving with 1,400. Braylon Edwards established the previous mark of 1,289 in 2007. Gronkowski was hurt when hit by Cleveland safety T.J. Ward after a 21-yard completion. He missed the first six games of the season recovering from off-season surgeries on his left forearm and back. In his six full games after returning, he led NFL tight ends with 37 catches and 560 yards receiving. "If I would have hit him up high, theres a chance I would get fined and all that other stuff. So, Im just being safe," Ward said. "Its kind of being caught between a rock and a hard place." NOTES: The Patriots trailed 6-0 at halftime on field goals of 43 and 37 yards by Cundiff. ... Brady completed 32 of 52 passes for 418 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. ... Campbell, who missed Clevelands previous game with a concussion, was 29 for 44 for 391 yards. ... Patriots running back Shane Vereen caught 12 passes for 153 yards. He also scored on a 6-yard run. ' ' '
