For some reason….. Dear God…. Did you just try to wipe the Grigson slate clean, or what? For some reason…. Wowza.

Like I said yesterday…. Anyone with this view has an agenda. They’re selling something. Appreciate you making my point for me like that.

Sincere question: What makes you think we’ve made any offer at all to Landry. I’ve never seen that anywhere. Have you read something that claims that? Ive seen us connected to Mathieu and Bradberry (via trade) but not Landry at all. What can you tell us?

For whatever it’s worth, a few weeks back I saw a headline that said last year the Colts spent the 5th most money in the NFL. I didn’t see any details.

If this goes well, I will not be surprised to see this get extended by a year. I’m talking it happening after next season.

I believe Matt is signed for two more years, not three. I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong.

Ok…. At least you’re on the record. Props for that. Lucky to win 5 games. That’s your call. I hope you have the courage of your convictions, because I don’t think your prediction is going to age well. At all. For the record, this past season, when we started off 1-4, this website was melting down. Fans here predicted our first round pick, which was going to Philly, might be top-5, and probably top-10. I said then — that week — that not only wouldn’t our pick be top-5 OR top-10, it would be no worse than pick 15-18. I predicted no worse than a 9-8 record. And what happened? A 9-8 record and our pick turned out to be 16. Just what I predicted. But what do I know? According to you, I’m just a know it all. But keep being you. It’s working out so well for you!

Fair enough. I don’t know that I fully embrace your definition of elite, but you made a good and fair argument and that’s all I ever ask. Good post.

I'm actually confident our friend CDGA is talking about me.... he's been using the "know it all" insult on me in several recent posts. But, to copy a very good comment from you, I've been wrong plenty of times as well, and also have zero problems admitting it. I try to own as much of my poop as possible. We're all fans on a message board. Being wrong from time to time just kinda comes with the territory. Know way of getting around it.....

Perhaps the funniest post you’ve ever made! I believe agents have voted Ballard the fairest GM two years in a row. Best to work with. It’s been posted here and talked about. That former GM sounds bitter and jealous.

Seriously? Predicted to be the worst team in the NFL in his rookie season, Luck carried the Colts to three straight 11-5 seasons. Plus they went a round further in the playoffs his first three years and reached the AFC championship game in his third year. That’s not elite?

Would you please translate this into football English? He got fried? It doesn’t even make sense if you meant to write fired. Im not happy with Ballard’s decision and I still don’t understand whatever point you were trying to make? In short…. Huh?

As best as I can tell, this tweet comes from a fan with a Twitter account. He has no sources except what is out there from other media. He’s just a guy. All I’m saying is don’t read too much into this. At least, not yet.

The pick wasn’t the problem. His salary of $16 mill per was one and coming off major knee surgery was the other. I love Woods…. But still….

I get it. You don’t like Ballard. I get it, you don’t like me as I defend Ballard. Enjoy being a fan though you rarely seem happy with anything. Good luck with that.

^^^^^^^^ THIS!! THE ABOVE!! ^^^^^^^^ And thank you!!

Not that you’d notice, but there are still lots of players available. Not that you’d notice, but very few players signed with anyone today. It was a very quiet day in free agency today. But, by all means, carry on…. Keep complaining over nonsense and making it seem like the sky is falling.

He wouldn’t take LTs last year becayse they were short arms…. Less than 34+ inches. And now you’re wondering about Braden and his 32 1/2 inch arms.

I think we are well past the accusation stage. I don’t think Watson denies that the women touched him. The issue is was this consensual or were the women coerced? It’s been reported that Watson offered the women $100,000 each. 18 agreed, but 4 wanted it to go to trial. So there was no deal. How the grand jury outcome impacts the outcome is not known.

Most big free agent contracts don’t play out for the life of the deal. The player gets cut before the contract is finished. That happens more times than not.

My sincere apologies. Did not mean to misquote you. My bad. As to Ballard, we may have already fixed our DE situation. That was the whole Paye and Dayo thing. And I expect more from Granson. And I expect more from Strachan and Fries. And others whose time has come. Where we struck out was with Wentz and a Fisher. Those are unfortunate. Very. I thought they were the right moves at the time. Football can be hard and unfair and we got screwed twice. Could they ultimately cost CB and Frank their jobs? Possibly. Eventually. Who knows how patient and understanding Irsay will be? Anyone’s guess. Im not posting on my vacation to be a jerk. I’m posting to urge people to calm down, Let’s see what Ballard actually does and doesn’t do before we pronounce him guilty. One day is meaningless, Again.., Sorry about the misquote. Glad you nailed me. And you keep doing that if I do it again. Honestly.

Not me. I’d be shark bait! And I don’t lay by a pool drinking funny beverages with little umbrella’s. I’d burn to a crisp! When my wife and I come here it’s to go out on the water and see the whales up close! It’s peak whale season now. Yesterday was Day 1 and it was AWESOME! We go out every day, can’t get enough. Then we wander around going in and out of shops and restaurants and relax. Maui is a great place to decompress! When I’m posting, my wife is typically sleeping or relaxing. We’re good. You don’t have to like me or agree with me, but I hope some day you and your significant other will come to Maui. Don’t come in the summer, too hot, too crowded, too expensive. Come in the winter, right after the Super Bowl. Get out of the cold and come to Maui and just relax…. You’ll thank me. Honestly.

I never said Ballard follows Spotrac. I mentioned Spotrac to show what people who analyze contract value think of MAC. Many here don’t seem to like him. And by the way, not to defend them, but I think in balance, Spotrac does a nice job with contract projections. But they didn’t project Kirk at $18-21 mill per year. That’s insane money. But I don’t think Ballard follows Spotrac at all. Because he either doesn’t sign guys they like, or he doesn’t agree with the valuations. I think you and others are getting way too bent, way too soon. He can still do plenty in the next few weeks to help this team. But patience would be helpful.

I have to pick and choose my moments. So far, so good.

Your concern for me is touching. But you should go back to posting your outrage over what Ballard isn’t doing. Those are so important. It’s why I’m awake! I can’t wait to read your next genius insight!
