• Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano on Monday gave a strange rambling answer to a question about his team's struggles.
• Pagano jumped on a reporter's reference to the movie "Groundhog Day" and began talking about specific scenes.
• Pagano then compared the struggles to a hurricane, diving into the science of storms.

The Indianapolis Colts are 3-8, playing out the last string of games to end a lost season plagued by the absence of Andrew Luck.

Asked about his team's struggles and if it affects the players' mentality, Colts coach Chuck Pagano instead seized on a reporter's "Groundhog Day" reference, and launched into a confusing ramble that seemed to fly over the heads of the press.

"Yeah, that song played, woke up to that this morning," Pagano said after a reporter asked him if the repeated losing is like the film "Groundhog Day."

"That Sonny and Cher?" Pagano said. "'I got you, babe. I got you, babe.' Went down and got my coffee, said hello to what's her name, little gal in the coffee shop, stole the money out of the back of the truck, drove my truck off the, into the tar pit, or whatever, off the landfill. Jumped off a building, lived through it."

When reporters seemed confused, Pagano asked if they had seen the movie, adding, "You spend so much time on Twitter, you're not enjoying the better things in life."

Pagano then shifted to comparing the Colts' struggles to an oncoming hurricane, diving deep into the science of storms.

"There's a storm in the Atlantic," Pagano said. "Hurricane whatever you want to call it. Winds are gonna hit landfall. It's coming. It's third quarter, middle of the third, it's getting late third, they're up 10. It's gotta happen some time. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy right now."

Pagano continued: "What's gotta happen, being in Miami six years, them storms start coming off the coast of Africa and it's coming through the Atlantic, and they start coming up, what happens is, if you get a Nor'easter, right? You get a storm on top ... When it comes down, that pressure hits, right, and it pushes the storm, where? Back out to sea. And it goes up the coast and there's very little damage. Those rings that spins this way and those bands up top are the most egregious bands, they're far enough out where nobody gets hurt."

The entire rant seemed to be lost on reporters, with one reporter speaking up midway through the answer, saying, "That's a good answer."
