I’m back in downtown Indianapolis for the weekend and it’s weird being here outside of the NFL scouting combine. Normally my trips to Indy revolve around the massive NFL event every winter, and being back within walking distance of the massive Indiana Convention Center and impressive Lucas Oil Field refreshes the memory of the visit here a few months ago.
Back in late February, Lions GM Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell did their media sessions in front of a throng of reporters. Because they’re still fairly new on the job, we always wonder just how revealing and truthful they are being with us when they speak.
Okay, we don’t wonder that about Campbell. He doesn’t have a disingenuous bone in his body. But Holmes doesn’t have the frequency or breadth of a track record. So I decided to look back at what Holmes said at his podium, the spot where now a horde of 11-to-15-year-old girls prepare to play a volleyball tournament.
