"There's a new general manager and coach, and the iconic quarterback and idiosyncratic owner are patching up a snit that went public.

Strange times indeed for the Indianapolis Colts, a franchise that long has been about continuity and oneness.

So, what's next?

"I have no clue, man," veteran receiver Reggie Wayne said. "I'm leaning on you guys (the media). You're all saying it's a new regime and that's what it is.

"This is one time all of the players are outside of the loop, even 18 (quarterback Peyton Manning). Nobody has a clue."

Wayne has spent much of his time in Miami after the curtain fell on the Colts' 2-14 season. He was away from the immediate reconstruction that first brought in general manager Ryan Grigson, then coach Chuck Pagano.

It has been a dizzying few weeks that forced Wayne to spend more time indoors -- on his couch and in front of his wide-screen TV -- than normal.

"It's made me do something I never did before, and that's watch freaking ESPN every day," Wayne said, laughing. "It's like a soap opera. You're wondering, 'OK, what's next?'

"You hear something, then you see it on the ticker, that the Colts are doing this or that. At one point we were thinking Jim Tressel was going to be the coach. All of a sudden it's Chuck Pagano.""
