The only way I'd be excited again

I know it's easy to dance on someone's grave after they're fired. Carlie had more than enough justification to make this call. But it doesn't change the good Chris Ballard and his family did off the field here, and the 100s of foster children they helped nytimes.com/athletic/1311425…

Breaking: The #Colts announce they have fired GM Chris Ballard. MORE: My understanding is that Ballard told owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon that she should make the change for the good and needs of the organization, per league source. Additionally, I’m told Ballard understands that 10 years is a long time to be general manager on any one team & that he recently came to peace with the blessing of staying with the organization in that role, for that long. Ballard is one of the more humble General Managers in the NFL and a good stand-up person with a empathetic heart who deserves respect in his departure.

Chris Ballard is one of the genuinely good people in football. But as strange as it may sound, I think his loyalty, belief in people and kindness sometimes worked against him. The #Colts went all-in last year after starting 8-2 by trading two 1st-round picks for Sauce Gardner, then gave a massive deal to Daniel Jones off a torn Achilles. It has not worked so far.

Colts DT DeForest Buckner very clearly biting his tongue after today’s loss to the Titans. Oddly, I don’t see this kind of anger from other guys, which is notable.
