I don't care; simultaneously, I love it.

@MyColtsAccount OR this is a GM who spent years trying to punt the long-term QB decision until he was finally forced to make it, and figures making a playoff appearance while delaying any proof that his QB choice is a bust will save his job for another year

[Eric Hawkins @CaptSnakearms]

@JayVeeThree This feels more like a move by Ballard and Steichen to protect their jobs from Irsay, rather than anything that would come from him.

[Eric Hawkins @CaptSnakearms]

@HolderStephen The only way I can support this move is if it comes with a "we either make the playoffs or you're both fired" directive from Irsay

[Eric Hawkins @CaptSnakearms]

@JayVeeThree You'll know you're in the home stretch when you hit the epilogue

@brettsperminute @Gabrus @Jessica_StClair @lennonparham @LilyYily @ComedyBangBang Now I get to keep all the reasons I was subscribed to Stitcher Premium, and it actually costs me less!

@sepinwall He only knows what the character in the third video's job is. For the other two he establishes that he knows it's the same actress but isn't sure it's the same character.

Two @danlippertcool podcast episodes in two days, two references to the In-N-Out Burger on Ray Rd in Phoenix, AZ. What are the odds?

[Eric Hawkins @CaptSnakearms]

@HolderStephen It's crazy to hear @pschrags name-drop you and talk about your reporting on this on GMFB, and then just continue to reinforce the same tired national narrative about crazy Jim Irsay alienating players anyway

[Eric Hawkins @CaptSnakearms]

@sepinwall I liked the show well enough, but in my opinion they wasted time trying to keep Hoult on the show past the point where the story and the main character needed to be done with him. What should've been a story about her never really got past him.

[Eric Hawkins @CaptSnakearms]

@sepinwall Elle is great, but I feel like the big change in episode 6 was handled in maybe the worst possible way in terms of her characterization. And the last conversation between Catherine and Mariel in the finale felt like a veiled statement directly to the audience.

[Eric Hawkins @CaptSnakearms]

@gmfb Irsay's tweet was a pretty obvious joke, and every other Colts fan I know took it that way. And Steichen basically said the same thing in his presser about Richardson needing to play to develop.

[Eric Hawkins @CaptSnakearms]

@HolderStephen It's a bad situation, but it honestly kind of sucks that they always throw Luck and Tolzien on there. Luck was a franchise guy for years, and Tolzien was just a spot-starter for injury while Luck was still on the roster

[Eric Hawkins @CaptSnakearms]

@HolderStephen That kicker contract was a little too spicy for Ballard, he needs to cool the cap situation down a bit

[Eric Hawkins @CaptSnakearms]

Colts beat writers: "The team needs to wake up and realize they have a lot more holes than they thought."

Also Colts beat writers: "The team should absolutely give up 2 1st-rounders to sign Lamar Jackson to a huge deal."

TRIVIA, to win $100 MULTIPLIED BY the NUMBER OF SEASONS the Colts will have been in Indianapolis this year---INCLUDING the upcoming season. HOW MANY SEASONS?? One winner, Sir Edward Hayes will do the hatpick. Must retweet with answer.😎🏈

@ScottAukerman @ComedyBangBang @nickkroll @ikebarinholtz @hotwonhulu @mitrajouhari @gilozeri Between this and the Valimony Showny, Mitra is really making a run at PFT's "most delightful laughter in the background of a podcast" crown

@RomeovilleKid @zkeefer "Letting Nothing Slide"

Bonus, it also works as an Andrew Luck reference

[Eric Hawkins @CaptSnakearms]

@Colts #Madden23 PS5

[Eric Hawkins @CaptSnakearms]

@HolderStephen I think it's more just to prevent the scenario where your QB has to switch OCs and systems as his coordinators get poached (like we saw with Luck). If the HC is the guy with the system, that adds guaranteed stability

[Eric Hawkins @CaptSnakearms]

@MyColtsAccount What are your thoughts on possibly firing him and promoting Ed Dodds or Morocco Brown into the top spot? Seems like we have a good scouting department in place, I'd hate to lose it completely.
