So managed to capture his visit in the broadcast booth a few min ago and this was what he had to say:



So for those who missed this momentous announcement from Jimmy let me summarize for you......um, um, you know we have a plan, um um, you know gonna require patience and persistence, um, um, and I can't tell you how excited I am about the future, um, um, you know so very excited.....andrew is going to come back better than he was before, um, um, no timetable, um, um, you know, There's a process.....couldn't be in better hands....um, um, you know. Ballard loves competition and accountability.....has a real vision for the future, um, um, you know. Chuck is a man of integrity, real character, have invested in his growth, for 6 years, um, um, you know.....really value our fans and we have an exciting season for them......oh by the Way I really miss Prince. He was a great guitarist.

um, almost verbatim :cool:

Actually I think I was way more succinct. That man can take a lot of time to say a whole lot of nothing.

Irsay is a dumb ass. Invested in his growth? Just what growth is Irsay referring too? I hope Irsay doesn't handicap Ballard by making him keep Pags.

Pags is growing him a fresh stash.

He's already done that!

I watched every play of last night's game and I have to say I have never been so impressed with a team that could get dominated in every aspect but still come out on top. There is no other way to explain it except attributing it to great coaching from top to bottom - well it was either that or someone told Cincinnati that it was a playoff game.

Just listened to Pagano's victory speech in the locker room.....congratulated them on a "great victory", he's really, really proud and launched a new Paganoism: The Process knows no Fear!!
