He should not be faulted for reaping whatever profits his business makes and obtaining the best contract negotiated with the City and State. He is in business to make money; not make the City of Indianapolis profitable. (I do fault him for going to Minnesota and telling those team owners they can use the leverage of leaving Minneapolis unless Minneapolis agrees to build a new stadium there). Indy capitulated under the same threat. Now we have a giant red brick barn that cannot be justified, despite sold out games.  &lt;BR/&gt;Back to the point: it is our City&#39;s amateurs who fumbled the ball but I don&#39;t see any heads rolling. Where is the accountability, and why isn&#39;t there a press conference to address this debacle? Irsay completed a touchdown; the City fumbled the ball. We lost.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/5085385793311025384/comments/default/1638428907766996996'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/5085385793311025384/comments/default/1638428907766996996'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2009/02/ballard-ignores-public-working-on.html?showComment=1234357440000#c1638428907766996996' title=''/><author><name>Patriot Paul</name><uri>https://www.blogger.com/profile/03986604576219564749</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ETemBknAUdw/SbUfOIiI22I/AAAAAAAAAAM/HeLTd4llpFI/S220/n1543022610_6353.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2009/02/ballard-ignores-public-working-on.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-5085385793311025384' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/posts/default/5085385793311025384' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-1918845076"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="8:04 AM GMT-5"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1537269330828925115</id><published>2009-02-10T20:55:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-10T20:55:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Flipper, Why are you more concerned about what Cra...</title><content type='html'>Flipper, Why are you more concerned about what Crawford is doing than your buddy Ballard?</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/5085385793311025384/comments/default/1537269330828925115'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/5085385793311025384/comments/default/1537269330828925115'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2009/02/ballard-ignores-public-working-on.html?showComment=1234317300000#c1537269330828925115' title=''/><author><name>Gary R.
