Maybe it's just me. It seems mighty hush-hush from Colts Owner Jim Irsay. I believe that could be due to a phenomenon that, going forward, will be attributed to the "Steichen Effect." Any thoughts on this apparent change in the weather?
That’s “popularity” as well. Develop “Pro-bowl metrics” for each position group. Use only empirical data to make selections. Take the “buddy” factor away.
Both the Raiders and the Steelers have a massive national following. Their fans will pay a premium for tickets and will travel anywhere to see them play. That said, I watched the game on my laptop - and thought the Colts' faithful did pretty well - as they did when the towel crowd was here.
BTW, I was at the Panthers game...there were a LOT of Colts' fans there. JMO.
The GM “needs to be confronted?” How/why? These are grownups who knowingly risked all for short-term fun, a physical edge, or due to the inability to have/maintain a healthy interpersonal relationship.
Yes, Ballard needs to own up to it all.
