Pat McAfee recounts walk-through ‘friendly fire’ incident between former Colts teammates we can now laugh about
Chalk this up to an amusing story from the prior Colts era of football that I had never heard before….
On December 21, 2014, during an NFL game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts safety LaRon Landry allegedly made an unnecessary tackle on his new teammate, future Hall of Fame wide receiver Reggie Wayne. This incident, described by former Colts punter Pat McAfee on 'The Pat McAfee Show,' occurred during an early-season walkthrough and was later confirmed by the team's former head coach, Chuck Pagano, who recounted that Landry "fucking took Reggie out," leaving Wayne's uniform stained with grass.
The incident led to a lighthearted war story for McAfee and a humorous memory for Wayne, who, despite the initial tension, shared that Landry was a great teammate. Landry, a Pro Bowl safety signed to a 4-year, $24 million contract by Colts general manager Ryan Grigson, had a short-lived career with the team, enduring a four-game suspension for PED violations before being released in early 2015.
