Dodds
Zach Keefer at the Athletic (subscription but i think worth it-only one I have) wrote an article on Ed Dodds, our assistant general manager. Left a job in Seattle he loved to come here with an old friend (Ballard) because he felt that if the choice was a comfy job in a winning organization or to compete and put himself in a position where he could fail, well he wanted to compete. Two quotes
First is about the accolades the Colts were getting after winning a playoff game:
“We ain’t done shit yet,” the Colts assistant general manager told them. “We won a fucking wild-card game.”
I really love the second one:
“I just felt like everyone was jacked, we’re on this win streak, and I’m kinda like, what the fuck does it matter?” Dodds said a few months later. “If we don’t go to a Super Bowl, so what? A couple of injuries, bomb a couple of draft picks, no one in the pipeline to replace the players you lost? You gotta be relentless. You can’t stop. I don’t.”
I'm loving this team
