None of them even know I exist, it is a storm in a tea pot and I am fully aware of that. Still think Ballard is way to passive in free agency and am pleased I can bitch about it here.

Because there is no criticizing Ballard, who is easily the best GM in the league and a sure fire Hall of Famer despite the fact that he can't assemble a team that can beat that joke of a team the Jagoffs, ignores team needs every offseason, can't draft a decent pass rusher, has added exactly 1 good receiver in 5 years, hasn't found a replacement at LT despite knowing that 4 years ago the longtime LT would be retiring soon, and has decided to have a throw away year in year 6 of his tenure b/c he couldn't figure out how to add a decent QB with $70M of cap space.

Man, without free agent signing news, this place seems to be descending into Lord of the Flies chaos.

Here's a bit of news I came across - this guy, apparently a new reporter for the Athletic, is reporting that Tyrann Mathieu has narrowed his choices down to the Colts or the Cowboys, and will be deciding this week:

Twitter is a screaming hot mess of “fire Ballard” chants. This place is tame in comparison.

Saw the honey Badger rumor last week.

Nothing smart happens on twitter.

You can say THAT again!

I have not seen this level of whining since the last time my kids had a birthday party when they were 4 years old!!

Although, to be fair, nothing we say on here will make one single lick of difference to what the Colts organization does so it is all in good fun.

Some folks might have mental breakdowns over it but those can be good fun if your an outside observer!

Continue Ballard’s plan (and the results) for two more years and all the “whining” will stop. It worked wonders for the Pacers.

I don’t think Ballard is perfect. Far from it.

I do think he’s one of the better GM’s in the league though, if for no other reason than his draft prowess.

I don’t want him fired for that reason. But ultimately, how much does it matter if he doesn’t win? He’s great at drafting but so far he sucks at constructing a roster.

Zach Pascal to the Eagles on a 1 year deal per Schefter.

Eagles reached agreement on a one-year agreement with former Colts’ WR Zach Pascal, per source. Pascal now reunites with Eagles’ HC Nick Sirianni.

That would be a huge get.
