Sorry, I again equate the chaos of the team to Ballard. It is indisputable that we have been in state of chaos since he has been here. I just don't think he is good as a team leader and it lends itself to the organization having to play a game of slight of hand in order to try to convince the fan base we aren't a mess and thus not worthy of investing in. He just has to be sent packing for this franchise to stabilize and get back to being a good football operation.

The support was also great in 1987, 1988, and 1989 when the Colts had 3 straight winning/non-losing seasons, except when a few Colts fans taunted Eric Dickerson with a black doll with big red lips that was holding watermelon and eating chicken.
