And the it's Morocco Brown's and not Ballard's fault statements are absolutely ridiculous. Unless Ballard doesn't have the balls to tell one of his top guys no, which I really doubt is the case.

Maybe. I'm not saying. Jim forced him. But Jim did have a lot of input IMO. Ballards reaction was probably happy that he got the guy they were after. And he was able to please the boss as well.
Look at this past season. Ballards approach to me seemed different. Even to the point of trading for Sauce.
No facts just my guy feeling
