I was a kid. I loved a team. I made a friend. We grew up. He made them great. We win. The end.

Had Carlie Irsay-Gordon seen the situation more clearly a year ago, she could have fired Chris Ballard after the 2025 season and initiated the rebuilding process under a new GM. Instead, it's a fire sale, and guys in the Colts' locker room are checking their phones to see if they'll be the next to be set free... Good stuff, Colts. My @TheAthletic column from last October:

@JTT45 That's a whole other story 😱

[Michael Silver @MikeSilver]

@JTT45 It's not a hit piece. It's a tweet. I'm simply saying in retrospect it would have been better to start this process in February.

[Michael Silver @MikeSilver]

@TonyTheColtsFan I actually meant two years ago... I was off a year!!! The column I linked to was two years old... But I think I was trying to say, she could have fired Ballard at the end of the 2025 season and initiated the rebuild/new era

This is the type of thing that gives sports reporters a bad name... wait

Trump: Arnold Palmer was all man. This man was strong and tough. And I refuse to say it, but when he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there and said, 'Oh my god. That's unbelievable.'

If you are a Colts player who has not yet been traded and are in need of urgent assistance, please stay patient. We will set up a hotline to address this growing crisis.

@brandonmbender Go check Grigson's record. He should have kept him longer.

TWO Octobers ago is when I wrote that column. Man. It's all a blur.

@StovetopPorter4 @Michael_RA You're right--a GM should have unlimited opportunities. Old guys. Former starters. High first-rounder... just keep taking swings and missing...

[Jeff Zrebiec @jeffzrebiec]

Lamar Jackson is a full participant.

[Jeff Zrebiec @jeffzrebiec]

So much for that.
