  1. From the moment I heard what she had to say at her first press conference, calling out the Colts dismal performance in recent years as well as overtly challenging the coach and GM, I was convinced she would be a change maker. She’s not buddies with anybody, she just wants results. There is a new sheriff in town.

    1. Agree. Jim seemed too concerned with being friends and vibes. Without the winning record, I would anticipate Ballard’s long leash to be cut after this season. However, I wouldn’t give her so much credit for the team’s performance this year.
