  1. Feels like a good time to issue a reminder. Two years ago, J’Ville spent a fortune in FA. That was the year they surprised the NFL giving the little WR, Kirk 4/72 which had incentives into the $80’s. And J’Ville went on to have a good season. Many here showered the Jaguars with applause and wondered why can’t the Colts do that?! But here’s what they forget…. In the 10 years BEFORE that one, no team spent more in FA than the Jaguars. $1.4 BILLION dollars. That’s billion with a B. And I think they had one post season appearance to show for it. So most years Jacksonville “won” free agency and they had almost nothing to show for it. So when @GoColts8818 says the “winner” of FA typically doesn’t have a very good season, he is correct. It was his comment that triggered my memory about Jacksonville’s lost decade. Thanks, GC!
  2. “Proven false every year.” I’m completely unaware of that. And I’m here every day. Plus…. I wouldn’t be so sure that Irsay doesn’t have cash flow trouble from time to time. Your post is stated as fact. Feels very much like opinion to me. You might be right, but I don’t think anyone knows.
  3. Collusion? Ugh. Could it maybe possibly be that Simmons priced himself out of the week one market? It might just be the player and his agent flubbed this and there simply was no collusion.
  4. Others have said it, but as a big Ballard supporter I should join them. If Richardson doesn’t work out, Ballard will be fired, and he should be. Period. Now he likely will be replaced with either Dodds or Brown, but that’s another topic for another day.
  5. I like using Sir as well. But only for people much older than me. And I’m 67.
  6. I remain hopeful the Colts will draft pass rush either R1 or R2. WR would be the other pick. I know more pass rush is needed. I think Ballard does too. That’s why he hired Charlie Partridge. Hopefully he makes every DL better.
  7. You're entitled to any view you like. I’m fine if we disagree. But, please feel free to call me NCF, or Mike or Michael, whichever you prefer. But “sir” is too polite, too formal. Hope that helps.
  8. That terrible pass rush also finished 4th or 5th in the NFL with 51 sacks. And you make it sound like it’s only the Colts whose outside rushers get help from the inside push. That happens on many teams.
  9. Wish I did. But it’s easy. Go to YouTube. Key in Mike Bluem, Colts Should be the first thing that pops up. It’s about 7-8 minutes long.
  10. In the immortal words of The Godfather…. “It’s not personal, it’s business.”
  11. For what it’s worth…. Ballard doesn’t have these conversations. The Colts cap specialist Mike Bluem talks directly to the players agent. Ballard and the player are typically kept out until there’s a deal.
  12. From the outside. Yes it looks that way from the outside. But I’m sure it’s very different from the inside. There’s a plan, and a series of backup plans.
  13. The point is none of us knows what’s going on inside. None of us. I’m not picking on you. But we don’t know the inner workings. We may opinions about what appears to be happening. But we don’t know, and I’m including myself.
  14. Since you know zero about journalism, you should not throw stones at Holder or any other journalist. To quote you…. You need to stop.
  15. Why do you think you know the internal workings of an NFL team to write: “No point in waiting…”. ???? The Colts have waited before. Today starts week two of FA. There is so much time left. Things don’t have to happen simply because the fan base wants it to happen NOW.
