Colts’ announcer retires after using racial slur By MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer INDIANAPOLIS — An off-the-air racial slur prompted the immediate retirement of longtime Indianapolis Colts nfl radio voice Bob Lamey last weekend, team officials and Lamey’s attorney confirmed Wednesday. Local attorney James Voyles issued a statement acknowledging the 80-year-old Lamey used “inappropriate” language during a conversation with a friend at a local radio station and apologized immediately. “Bob does want to acknowledge
that while repeating a story while off-the-air last week to a friend at a local radio station, he used an inappropriate word that had been used in the story,” Voyles’ statement read. “Bob immediately apologized to the people involved for the Lamey comment and would hope that this error in judgment would not tarnish his long-held reputation
in the sports community where he has been known as an accurate and passionate reporter.” A report on a local television’s station website, WTHR.com, claimed an employee at Emmis Communications heard the comment and reported it to the radio station’s human resources department, which then contacted the Colts. It’s not the first time Lamey’s words have caused controversy. But what happened last week the Colts found intolerable. The announcement of Lamey’s retirement after 31 years with the Colts came Sunday. He was replaced on Monday
night’s radio broadcast by Matt Taylor. Initially, the Colts attempted to paint his departure as the celebration of a Hall of Fame broadcasting career that spanned five decades. But after word leaked about the conversation and Voyles issued his public statement Wednesday morning, the Colts immediately took a different tack. “In regards to Bob Lamey ... first and foremost, the Colts deplore and do not tolerate the use of any racial slur — in any context,” Colts chief operating officer Pete Ward wrote in an email. “Bob has had a long and storied history in our community, but he made a serious mistake.
The Colts are deeply disappointed the incident took place and offer our sincerest regrets to all who were impacted by Bob’s lapse in judgment.” Ward went on to say that the Colts only decided to comment after Lamey made his account. Previously, there had been praise for Lamey as his retirement was announced on the weekend. “Bob Lamey is a legend and icon,” Colts owner Jim Irsay said in Sunday’s release. “(His) name is synonymous with Indianapolis Colts football.” Former players weighed in, too, as Lamey said simply “it’s time” to retire.

impossible play for a touchdown.” But Ahrens still was able to find a bit of a silver lining in the setback: it’s better to suffer losses such as this and have an opportunity to learn early on instead of having the team unravel late because they can’t deal with shortcomings they didn’t know they had. “Showing weaknesses is better now than later,” Ahrens said. “Seeing good teams like this early forces you to recognize what didn’t
go well for you, and you have to change it.” So Ahrens has been taking the team back to basics on a level that goes beyond fundamental football mechanics — he wants his guys to readjust their minds and attitudes to the game towards a more workman-like approach as opposed to just going through the motions. Yes, there will be some minor adjustments, such as throwing earlier during possessions to keep

the defense guessing, but everything else falls into place from there. “There’s a point where you take control of the situation,” Ahrens said. “First, it takes an attitude to have success in anything. Then you have to follow the game plan. You can’t just go and do your thing, because you destroy everything else that’s going on with the team.” It goes without saying that there is a lot of respect between
the Wildcats and Raiders. And it would be a sensationalist statement to say this game will make or break either team’s season. That being said, the goals for both programs are clear when the lights come on for the game: Focus on what they’re doing, make the adjustments to clean up the execution, and play with a clear mind on the game situation and what the team needs in order to succeed. After that, let the chips fall where they may.
