INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – A high-ranking member of the Indianapolis Colts’ front office was quick to dismiss a Sunday report the team pursued New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton.

“It’s totally fictitious,’’ Pete Ward, the team’s chief operating office said. “This is the age of false information. It’s unbelievable.’’

CBSSports.com’s Jason La Canfora posted a story late Sunday afternoon detailing how the Colts, with Ward serving as their intermediary, recently had discussions with the Saints about arranging a trade for Payton. Negotiations stalled, he reported, when draft-pick compensation couldn’t be reached.

Ward contacted La Canfora and summarily denied the report.

“I told him it was BS. And you can quote me on that,’’ Ward said, admitting an individual associated with Payton reached out to the Colts a couple of weeks ago.

“I got a call from someone who said he was an associate of Sean Payton. He asked if we were interested in talking and I said ‘No.’ That was it.’’

So, it was a brief phone call?

“That it was,’’ Ward said. “I hate when something like this comes up because it’s not true and no matter how untrue it is, there are people out there who are going to wonder.’’

Saturday, Irsay fired general manager Ryan Grigson and cleared any uncertainty regarding the immediate status of coach Chuck Pagano.

“He’s our coach for 2017,’’ Irsay said.

Thanks for proving me right. I never said the Colts were pursuing SP. I said the Colts said an associate of SP reached out and they wouldn't lie about that. So basically you just wrote exactly what I wrote.

Do you not have a clue? Ward said he didn't know who called claiming he was an associate of Payton's. That could have been anyone. But one thing for sure, it wasn't anyone that he knew would be associated with Payton. These people know everyone in their circles. He knew the call was bogus from what he is saying. You are so hyped upon bringing down Payton that you will believe total bullcrap even when everyone supposedly involved confirms it is bullcrap.

What is your hate based upon? You are always so negative. Get a life, dude.

Bringing SP down? I am on here continuously stating that SP can still coach but that I think he needs a fresh start and how I hope next year we win the SB with him. That's just foolishness.

He said an associate of SP called them but that they were not interested in him. I supplied facts. Facts aren't negative or positive, they just are. Well now you're speculating and you're welcome to do that, but maybe you should keep from degrading other board members when they do the same. You have a habit, when someone offers an opinion that differs from yours, of telling people they couldn't possibly know the things they're saying because they're not on the in. Now you're doing the same thing, again, and trying to pretend that your speculations are facts.

Have a nice day AG

'They will win the war'?

Have you served in the military? Because I don't think you know what war is by a comment like that. Dude relax. The problem with your theory is that we have to build some type of D because since winning the SB our office could score 40 or anyone but our D gave up 41. That isn't how you spell success or 'winning a war'.

You have to have some type of balance to win SBs.

If they win the SB, they accomplish the goal they sought way back since we won the sb. And they're wanting this SB has a lot to do with rubbing it in our face.

We never, in any way shape or form, took our eyes off of the division.

F'ing crazy talk from people trolling for attention or amateurs who don't know what the **** they're talking about.

Has this site really become that dumb?

Our offseason decisions says otherwise. When you see division rivals trying to seriously contend and you just sit there and come up with "alternatives" to fix the team instead of letting go what many have said was the problem here(Vitt, McMahon) and continually act like the oline can survive. SP has made unpopular decisions from his best friends to Greenbriar and so on. The offense has been less than desirable and the defense tells the story for itself. The 2014 offseason is why we have seen division rivals make back to back SBs.
