John Fox has criticized Colts owner Jim Irsay over recent comments about Peyton Manning.

"I saw the comments, and to be honest with you I thought it was a bit of a cheap shot," Fox said Tuesday on SiriusXM NFL Radio (via DenverBroncos.com). "To me, in my opinion, they were disappointing and inappropriate. Peyton would never say anything, he's too classy to do that, but they sounded a little ungrateful and unappreciative to me, for a guy that's set a standard, won a Super Bowl, won division titles, won four MVP awards.

"I'd be thankful of that one Super Bowl ring, because a lot of people don't have one."

Irsay told USA Today that the Colts "changed (their) model a little bit" because they wanted more than the one ring the franchise won during Manning's 14-year run in Indy.
