Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt apologized Thursday to coach Tony Dungy, quarterback Peyton Manning and the rest of his teammates for criticisms he said came from his frustration with losing.

In a Canadian cable TV interview earlier this week, Vanderjagt said Manning should show more emotion, Dungy is too nice to be effective and many other Colts players lack a passion for the game.

"Basically, I spoke before I thought,'' Vanderjagt said in a statement sent to the media by his agent, Gil Scott. "I am extremely frustrated by losing and expressed it in the wrong manner and in the wrong forum.''

In the interview with The Score, a Toronto-based cable sports network, Vanderjagt said, "I'm not a real big Colts fan right now, unfortunately. I just don't see us getting better.
