8/6 Star

[Mr. Session]

The dude is an edge lord and I can't say I feel like I'm missing anything by not hearing about his stuff more often, as I imagine I would if I still lived up there. What's a little odd to me, personally, is his overly antagonistic attitude. Perhaps that's just my perception.

I get not wanting to be a mouthpiece for the organization and instead opting for objective and unbiased reporting, but the personal digs at players is kind of cringy. Especially with how he frames Richardson; That just seems like he's setting the kid up. I don't see why any of this is necessary unless the customer base actually eats it up, which may be the case. It's hard for me to believe they couldn't find someone better, but I haven't read a newspaper for years, so IDK.

I'll concede that I have heard similar sentiments regarding the team's competency level from other corners of the fanbase, but I've ignored those given this is a whole new regime.

I don’t hate him, but just the ignorance of the team moves and makeup and general lack of football knowledge is glaring. Doyle is annoying, but the worst are the radio guys. Dakich is a full on hater for Ballard and a Grigson stan. Grigson is such a horrible evaluator of talent.

I watched some of his podcasts and it’s straight up bullshit. He contradicts himself all the time “Colts don’t have any wide receivers and Ballard ignored the position” then five minutes later “I think Pierce is going to be a good receiver.” Well which is it? Then on Pittman “I was talking to Grigson after the ‘20 draft and he said he (MPj) won’t be a good receiver, too slow.” Pittman has been better than every receiver taken below him and a few taken above him.

But the other radio guys have some axe to grind. KBB is smart but manipulative. AR has an ok practice and other Colt reporters tweet his comp %, throws an INT, has a nice red zone TD to a TE. They say he had a pretty good day in camp. KBB tweets “Anthony Richardson has awful interception at practice today”. Then nothing else, doesn’t talk about the good or positives. And of course all the haters fill up the thread with anti Richardson and Ballard comments. When you hate the GM so bad you want the new franchise QB to fail.

It’s bad when I have to go to the podcasters and other minor sites for Colts news and analysis. A lot of those guys are also much more knowledgeable when it comes to football.

Agree with this. He definitely decides he doesn't like some people and bitches about them nonstop and well after the fact. He's still bitching about Wentz not getting his COVID vaccine. We get it Doyel. Wentz is a douche, but it's been 2 years. Let it go.
