You’d think he’d be rather bitter if he did Irsays bidding and ended up getting fired anyway.
He hasn’t said a word as far as I know.
They sucked but they were trying NOT to suck. They just weren’t any good at it.
But Polian was old and was on his umpteenth team - I remember him from those Bills teams in the 90s, then he was the GM for the expansion Panthers...THEN he went to Indy, right?
Yeah, I think he made his bones and was just riding Manning-tirement, until they actually needed to build an actual team and draft a new QB, and he bowed out - and yeah, he never said a word as far as I know.
I mean, I don't think he was consciously "sucking for Luck", just enjoying having Manning at QB in the twilight of his years, but when Manning was gone and they were terrible...well, why not? [Reply]
I'm just gonna say this - man, if any of you are gonna say this shit publicly, you'd better have receipts.
I mean Flores lawyer managed to misstate the holding of one of the most well known cases in the history of American jurisprudence (Plessey). And the stuff they're saying here, this is defamation per se kinda stuff and when you're throwing darts a billion dollar entity, the damages they can claim will be staggering.
I mean damn, if this isn't documented and OBVIOUS, these guys should probably keep their mouths shut because they can absolutely get sued into the hinterlands. [Reply]

And the NFL has deep enough pockets to make it happen for an indefinite amount of time. [Reply]

Agree with you in terms of needing evidence to backup the claims. Would be hilarious if a coach recorded audio of an owner trying to bribe him to lose games. [Reply]
