I can talk about a lot of things, but I don't pretend to be who I'm not. So I don't hold myself out as an expert on player evaluation or on field X's and O's.

3. Yeah ok, see above.
So nothing...that's what I thought.

Keeping it simple. Building a winning team and running a business don’t really align because they have two different objectives ultimately. You build a roster to win games, but that takes investment in players. A business wants to make as much profit as possible while spending as little as possible. If the team adopted those goals we would be like one of those perennial losing baseball teams who spend no money on the roster and are just there to make as much money as possible while keeping costs low.
A joke? Really? Your comedy needs some work. And the irony of you saying I need to "understand what people are posting" while you somehow read my "run it like a business" analogy to mean that I'm saying the Colts should try to make more money...

You're fingers are to blame for your repeated incorrect use of terms, and then your arguments with me about that? ok...

Ok by me. And yes, I like Ballard a lot, but he's not above criticism. His management of team resources appeals to me, as I've set forth in countless prior posts, long before the success we had last year.

Bottom line for me is Ballard/Reich are doing a better job in rebuilding this team than I could have hoped for. Perfect? Obviously nobody is, but this is the best combination of gm/coach that this team has ever had. That's a lot to say after one year but right now I'll stick to it.

Doesn't stop you from pontificating about the cap and drawing bad analogies.

Umm what, I just told you where to find it? It's not my job to educate you. Fine, he's the most perfect FA WR signing since Ryan Grant. You nailed it.

I am so sad to hear that, I willl cancel my stand-up career now. That is true, it was silly of me to interpret your thorough description of 'run it like a business' for an organization that prioritizes profit. I mean there are all those businesses out there that don't care about profit, the majority really.

Well I was more talking about typos/mispellings which you mentioned, but I can see where you would extrapolate that large fingers are responsible for grammar issues. That happens all the time to people. Incidentally, I didn't do anything wrong. It would only be contradictory if I said Ballard was both at the same time, which I did not. Yet you seem determined to say I did even though I have explained it three times.

And here I just thought it was because of his dick lodged into your anal cavity.
