Pat McAfee show which has been posted in the thread

No she’s too busy carrying Destin’s water for him because he can’t be wrong despite as someone else pointed out this is now the third time he has been wrong. I believe she needs to follow her own advice and just stop but she won’t and that’s her right.

That’s why I’ve said wrong or used. I don’t believe he lied. There is a difference between those IMO.

We probably won’t which is why I’ve pushed be very careful about believing something just because people on twitter are saying it.

I was going to say Destin isn’t even defending himself this hard.

Because for Schefter he was asked about it by McAfee. For Holder it’s because he was getting bombarded by people on twitter asking him if it was true because of Destin’s tweet. They didn’t just bring this up out of nowhere.

Yeah just to drive home this point last night I had the following things showing up as trending twitter for me, Indiana State, Colts, Sneed, and King Charles. Out of curiosity I clicked on the King Charles one because I was like that’s odd. It was full of a bunch of people saying King Charles was dead because they head it on twitter. Yet he still looks to be alive and kicking. Again, seeing something solely on twitter should be taken with a huge grain of salt until proven by a legit news source.

Again let me see who do I believe Schefter or random person on twitter?

Hope that’s not the case he seems like a good kid who I think just got used. With that said these are the things that can break a career if you want to be a reporter. Poor Pat lol

As I’ve said all along this is who Ballard is. He’s spent his life building his philosophy to team building. He was never going to just change that on a whim. It doesn’t make it right or wrong, that’s an opinion that’s up to people, it’s just who he is rather people like it or not.

I mean someone said Holder might need to delete his twitter after this maybe since Holders looks to be right someone else might might need to delete theirs? in all seriousness the lesson here is very careful taking what someone on twitter reports as unquestionable fact because it’s what you want to be true. Wait for the real media to report it, they have standards that wanna bes on twitter don’t and it’s to prevent from having egg on their fact because they get a major story wrong by reporting things premature. My view on Destin remains unchanged, he’s an upcoming journalist who I think is going to learn an extremely valuable lesson from all this, you have to make sure who you have the whole story confirmed, not just part of it, before you report it. Him admitting he didn’t have the contract confirmed should have been a major red flag because no team is going to agree to the trade for Sneed until the contract is worked out. Yes they may have one done in principle but it’s not going to be framed as done until the contract is done, even if they are just ironing out some details regarding the contract. Again think Buckner, non of that came out until it was ALL done. Also, again it’s lying season. People all over the place are putting out false stories to push their side. Those people look to take advantage of someone like Destin who is trying to make a name for himself by breaking a huge story like this. I have a feeling that’s what happened here. Bummer for the Colts as I would like Sneed but there is a reason I’ve been so skeptical about this. I’ve seen too many stories like this that we later find out was never on the table. Remember Andrew Luck and his meeting with Jimmy from the Colts a few years ago that a bunch of would be Colts insiders on twitter jumped that the person who put out there later admitted they made up as a joke?

So per Schefter and Holder then Destin got it wrong. I’ll let people decide on their own who they trust more, the guy who broke the Andrew Luck story or the guy who works for AtoZ sports.

No, the most anyone has suggested is Destin got it wrong, which could very well be because he was being used by someone. Even the most skeptical people of Destin have taken the hey he could be right approach but the longer things go it looks like he wasn’t but we shall see. people have accused others, like pretty Rickey (who deleted his twitter account) of making things up but no one I have seen has taken that approach to Destin. Personally I can’t stand Holder but nothing has happened to back up the claim he is being used by Ballard in this case beyond the fact it contradicts Destin and the news people want to be true.

this thread soon. Let’s just let it playout and see what happens.

It certainly explains why he remains unsigned.

This is just making a story out of Destin’s report. Nothing new that wasn’t reported yesterday morning.

They tried it when they first got him but quickly realized he’s frankly not that good at it.

And if he gets it done some will complain about what was given up for him or what his new contract costs. Some fans wants a team of 53 all pros playing on vet minimum contracts and if that’s not delivered the GM doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Not really they do it in situations like when he took Ridley in the Jags game last year but the Colts almost always have three corners on the field as they really only play two linebackers the vast majority of the time.

Thank you

It’s the Colts version of Anderson for you guys. I always think of the How I meet your mother episode when robin goes to the Minnesota bar and anytime someone brings up the 98 NFCCG all the people in the bar say “damn”. That’s what Colts fans do about the 95 AFCCG.

Moore doesn’t have an impact on the starting outside corner though, he’s the slot guy. That would be like saying well they extended Downs so need to draft an outside WR.

Yeah, I am not saying the Colts wouldn’t do a physical. I am saying they would, they just can’t because of the CBA until the trade is announced. There would be no reason for KC to do one.

No NFL team is going to just trust another team with that. That’s not how it works. It’s like buying a used car you are going to take it to your mechanic to look it over not just take the sellers word it’s fine. It’s standard operating procedure to complete the trade pending the physical. That’s how these things work in the NFL. Ballard also isn’t going go take a short cut on a major investment.

Depends on whose there and how much they believe in Pierce.
