Sumo63 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I listened to the interview. It was trash. DD taking cheap shots, treating unnamed sources as fact, asking the same tired questions I've heard Ballard answer multiple times. Heck, Ballard answered them all in a much more civil discourse with JMV the day before (which Dan claims not to have listened to). Just garbage.....Colts have said officially, over and over, that they expected andrew to play early this year, no timeline for his return, not going to put him out at less than 100%.....and to Irsay, news flash guys and gals, he's not the most eloulquent human on the planet....parse his words, take them with a grain of salt, say it however you want.....Dude didn't lie, he was just wrong in his estimation and probably spoke too soon.........NBD.

Bravo Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Not always a Dan Dakitch fan, However I liked the interview. It put a little pressure on Ballard. Yeah DD interrupted Ballard a little bit but it was to get Ballard on point so he couldn't keep shying away at questions and just using his planned answers. Pressure needs to be put on the FO by someone. In my opinion they don't care too much how the fans feel and sure as heck do not care if we try to put pressure on them, so it's nice to see someone actually have a backbone and ask what the fans want and be a little aggressive. Indy fans and especially the media have been pretty tame besides the making up false stories or "mis quoting" Tony Dungy to create a fake story. DD brought a Philly or New York reporter vibe and it wasn't terrible. Defiantly got more out of ballard than JMV did, although I liked that interview as well.

I thought Ballard answered all his objections: the “50” lb weight loss, Vonte’s demotion issue, Chuck and Irsay’s optimism. Some of the questions I am glad were put out there. Him and JMV both went straight at him because all the perceived secrecy and bull* conspiracies. JMV is just tactful with it while Dakich tries to always appear as the expert who should be heard. Ballard still hit him with the truth and would play off some of the comments as well. Trying to give your time to someone and just hear them yelling over you for 15 minutes though, pure classless and disrespectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone that people can trust to put out a message or information that is accurate and meaningful. JMV had a great interview. Dakich?, not-so-much. It was conducted to make himself look good (as usual) and when it was over he could say to us.... "see... I told you I am a BA... I am the only one willing to challenge them" when it was already accomplished yesterday by JMV in a much more tactful, respectful manor. I am okay with it I guess, but I feel all it did was show how much of a Richard Dan Dakich is. The answers were predictable and what were you (us) expecting really? Chris to break down and say... oh hell you got me.. here is what is really going on.................. The thing with Peyton is that he would be forced to then change that. Your job first and foremost is to protect the organization and serve the business. You may be forced to give opinions or share information that you don't actually believe 100% or support but that is what the business needs/wants you to do. I think a lot of people thought the same about Larry Bird with the Pacers. Oh he is a straight shooter, he is knowledgable, he was successful...but it doesn't always work that way. As far as the interview goes I'm going to stay out of it. I don't care for Dakich despite what he has done for the Hoosiers many years ago. I think he tries to be a little too much of a shock jock. I also think he watched Coach Knight bully reporters and people and takes some cues from him. While I respected Coach Knights knowledge of the game and even to a big degree how he ran his team he definitely was harsh...a hard butt to the media. Many times he swiped away questions etc because he could tell that the person asking it just didn't know what they were talking about. He definitely dominated the discussion and would throw his weight around. That might work for someone in position of authority and someone who's knowledge of the game was almost unquestioned and's reputation in the sports world was largely unrivaled.....but for someone like Dan to act that way? Yeah not so much. To preach from the bully pulpit and treat guests in such a manner I just don't know who he thinks he is. His opinions don't hold that much weight with me and I'm even surprised CB agreed to go on his show. I know people didn't like his answers because they didn't learn a lot of new information but that is what I expect. CB represented the organization well and did his job. Sure I think the team has been a little slow to get information out on this situation and Irsay's bumbled some things but I don't expect the team to release anything that would be damaging to their image. It sucks. The Luck situation certainly hasn't worked out like ANYONE would have wanted or expected. Everyone wanted and expected him to play including himself but he didn't heal as expected. Its frustrating but stuff happens. I think the Colts could have got out in front of this better but I think they were hoping for Andrew to come back mid season and hoped we still be in the hunt. It didn't happen and now it looks like people are lying....when the truth is probably in the middle some where. This season has been a nightmare. All we can hope is for a clean slate next year and a fresh start for Ballard and whomever is coaching the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
