Chris Ballard deserves respect in the NFL draft too where the Colts won’t be picking in the first round for the next two seasons.
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.
Another reason I can’t stand @JeffRatcliffe show on @SiriusXMFantasy: listener asks whether to start Allgeier or D. Pierce. Valid question given byes and injuries. Instead of answering with the disclaimer that injury status isn’t final, Jeff blows it off citing unknown status. 🙄
If Dwight Schrute was an NFL QB…
Fernando Mendoza prepares for the NFL draft by building an unreleased set of Lego: Lord of the Rings Minas Tirith
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Image is AI. You can see at the sides that it is not the actual set.

Checking in on @krystenpeek who recently turned her replies back on after 1.5 years of having them off. I guess this is her way of “taking the L”

What code is that? Spending money in the transfer portal?
Replying to @MattNorlander @CBSSports
This is a great stat from Evan that backs up with data the point of the column: Dusty May cracked the portal code and changed the calculus on how to build a title-winning roster in the most chaotic era ever in college sports.

Purdue was the team that represented everything that used to be right about college hoops…loyalty, work ethic, a bunch of under-recruited guys whose sum was greater than the parts, etc. and Barstool and Texas fans made them a villain anyway because of a false narrative. Sad
The #FinalFour should definitely move to “warm” cities permanently. This is an atrocity
This quoted post is unavailable.
Purdue at least held it together for a half against a better team. This Tennessee performance is embarrassing. Still no final fours for those rednecks
iu fans (predictably) victory lapping an elite 8 loss like they didn’t just get run off the court by northwestern (twice) only weeks ago is funny. They’ll never change
From the team that brought you Braden Smith, I present to you:
Left-handed Braden Smith.
Sorry haters.

#Purdue signee Luke Ertel is a state champion. He finishes with 26 points, 10 rebounds and six assists in My. Vernon’s 52-50 win over Crown Point. More coming on @GoldandBlackcom
End of an era in college basketball. Loyalty and retention are no longer valued and guys who have played for 3 different schools making millions of dollars are romanticized. Purdue did it the right way and they’ll always be in the conversation as long as Painter is still there.
22 free throws for Arizona compared to Purdue’s 13. If it was the other way around Twitter would be losing its mind.
Houston had only 26 points with 12 minutes left to play in the SECOND HALF. I don’t want to hear another thing about Purdue being “unwatchable” or their “brand of basketball” ever again.
Alabama is trying to find a way to clear this scumbag to play who was literally charged with a felony not two weeks ago but sports twitter is mad about Purdue. What a world we live in
