- Colts GM Chris Ballard reached out to Taylor‘s camp last week and initiated dialogue that led to this. A massive about-face for both sides involved. -- (link) - Remlik Oct 7, 10:00 2
  - I wonder if he first reached out to Jim and asked him to keep his mouth closed. -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 10:22 1

  - 30 years ago, no one threw 100 other than Nolan Ryan. -- (edited) - Will Hunting Oct 7, 08:59 3
    - Yup. Guys are in much better condition and throw much harder but we're not built to throw a baseball let alone at 100+ mph. - Krusty Oct 7, 09:31 2

    - I just did it (screen shot included). I got what crash got. It was my last category because it did make sense. I thought of and passed on the category -- (pic) - Dano Oct 7, 07:02 [Attachment] 1
