Twitter Q&A’s are rarely good ideas, but apparently no one told Chuck Pagano that.
The Indianapolis Colts coach has a radio show on Mondays during the regular season and takes fan questions every week. The producers apparently went ahead with their usual formula this week despite the Colts’ disastrous fake punt Sunday night that led to a 34-27 loss to the New England Patriots — and the replies were exactly what you’d expect.
Most people wanted to talk about the play.
@PaganoShow @Colts @1070thefan Coach, can you tell us what child won the "you get to call a play" contest on that fake punt?

@PaganoShow @PFTCommenter @Colts @1070thefan did you intentionally run the worst play in history or was that by accident?

@PaganoShow @Colts @1070thefan do you consider the fake punt a success because no one died (that we know of)?

@PaganoShow @Colts @1070thefan would you consider that fake punt a bad football play or good performance art?

@PaganoShow @Colts @1070thefan what did you seriously think was going to happen on the fake punt.

There also was some deep speculation about Pagano’s future in Indy.
@PaganoShow @Colts @1070thefan Have you started packing yet or are you waiting until you're officially fired?

Others just wanted to get to know the guy or see what his other options were on the play.
@PaganoShow hey do you like bread pudding?

@PaganoShow @Colts @1070thefan If you were a Walmart greeter, would you stand right by the front door, or would stand in the pharmacy?

@PaganoShow @Colts @1070thefan Coach Pagano, at any point did you consider handing the ball off to Marshawn Lynch?

Better luck next time, coach.
