Bob, I remember him well.

On the other end of the competency spectrum, I think it was Bill Parcells who commented that the fastest road to mediocrity in football was listening to your fan base.

I had no idea the Colts listened to their fan base so closely

The Colts don't listen to their fan-base ...... at all ...... not even in the slightest.

Kray was not insinuating that the Colts listened to their fan-base ....... he was pointing out the fact that if the Colts did listen to their fan-base, they would make the Jets and the Browns look like model franchises.

It was sarcasm. Parcells stated that you better not listen to your fan base otherwise you will become mediocre. We have been the defiition of mediocre the last decade, hence I was being sarcastic by insinuating we must be listening to the fan base because we are so mediocre.

As long as we are quoting Parcells I think his most famous and often repeated quote of his is "You are what your record says you are".

I would absolutely prefer to be either the Browns or the Jets right fucking now. They both have looked at the status quo and said fuck this- this isn't acceptable. At least they are positioned to try to do something different to change the trajectory of the team. But hey, hopeium is also a fucking great alternative!

CW, 1969. That's the last time the Jets were in a Super Bowl. And the Browns? They're envious of that. They've been trying to change the trajectory of the team for 57 fucking years in one case and eternity in the other. You can start rooting for them right now. They're used to unhappy fans. You'll fit right in.

I said right now, nothing to do with the past. Right now, absolutely give me the position of either the Jets or the Browns. Jets are going to get a chance to draft a potential super star at QB and they have a stockpile of high picks to help him with.

The Browns have the best defensive end in the game, possibly history, and could look to complement him with another demon edge rusher in Bane to create a duo that would terrorize QB's or they could go get a stud WR like Lemon, or even get Love at RB. All pieces that could be massive pieces for their future.

We, we on the other hand will be watching day 1, and we're most likely not going to be able to get "the best defensive player in the draft (cocky chortle, cocky chortle, flat bill flip)". No, instead, in the mid 2nd round, we'll probably go kicker since our kicking group is questionable going into next year- great chance to shore that up with a 2nd round pick.

Hylerbole! Other than Mendoza (and I'm lukewarm on him), I don't see a superstar QB.

The Jets are going to spend the next 6 days holding their breath, fingers crossed. If Dante Moore doesn’t declare for the draft, the Raiders take Mendoza 1st, and the Jets are left dumpster diving behind Safeway, looking for a Quarterback among the wilted lettuce and moldy bread.

Ordinarily, Moore would come out, but Oregon is offering him more than $10 Million to stay, which gives him a nice payday and the chance to avoid going to the Jets, which define the word shitshow.

As far as the Colts are concerned, not having a 1st, what they have is one of the best cover Corners in the game, an upper echelon Quarterback, and are fishing in a draft deep in fast, athletic linebackers.

If Ballard reaches deep into the Irsay piggy bank and pulls out enough coin to sign (insert name of a DE you like), the team should be well positioned to excel.
