Around SBN: Indy 500: Coverage of the 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing'

Since Marc Ross is a candidate for the Colts vacant G.M. position, it makes sense to dig up this old article I wrote at Arrowhead Pride back in 2008. Basically, the article outlines what the Chiefs needed to do to rebuild their front office. I recommended they hire Marc Ross. Clark Hunt opted instead to get Scout Pioli. Check out the article and let us know what you think.

Geez Brad,

Back before you decided to go all tabloid-style on us, you were a hell of a writer. That was a better analysis than most so-called “experts” or “insiders” write for analogous situations.

I could do without any backhanded compliments. If you feel the site is ‘tabloid’ now, then I suggest reading another site. Getting a little sick of reading you bitching about how this site isn’t what you specifically want it to be.

I read all the sites.

I don’t recall ever bitching about anything other than misuse of facts or obvious bias. I don’t know what I’d specifically want it to be, so I’m quite sure I never defined that or asked for anything.

I don’t think it’s tabloid-y anymore anyway. But you can’t deny that you very deliberately trended towards stirring the pot.

Ross looks to be the best on paper

There is surely a reason, though, that he has remained in the same position for several years since you pegged him as the best option for KC. Perhaps it has been difficult for other teams to flesh out just how much of the moves like JPP etc were his doing and how much were Reese’s.

Of course, you run into that same problem with EVERY guy that’s a candidate for this kind of promotion from another organization. How much of the Eagles drafting was Reid, not Grigson? Cowboys, Jones, Ciskowski? Steelers, Colbert, Whaley, etc?

Maybe it’s just that Princeton people have a habit of telling you how much smarter they are. That was one of Polian’s worst traits. It’d suck to be subjected to that in a new regime too.

(I’m only mostly joking about that.)

Well Done ...clap....clap......clap

There’re very few well thought out articles that delve as deep as you have with this one. As a football fan that lives in Kansas City area and truly a Colts fan since Unitas era I can relate to the info. Im no writer or reporter so my two cents isnt worth much but thanks for a great read.

Pick Ross

I hope they pick Ross. My buddy at work is a huge Giants fan and is pissed they he might be leaving. Ross has been a huge reason why their drafts have been so successful.
