08:01 AM ET 05.04 | Bill Polian, the Colts' vice chairman, and son Chris sat close enough in a recent press conference to pass a hot potato -- namely, who was in charge of the team's draft. A member of the media asked: "Did the draft-room dynamic change, Bill taking a step back, Chris taking a step forward? Would it be wrong to say, 'Chris, this is your first draft?'" "That's not wrong," Bill Polian said. Chris Polian, smiling, respectfully disagreed. "That's not right," he said. "That's where I would disagree with you. It's everybody's draft. Everybody worked on it." But, who led the Colts draft? "We all do," insisted Chris Polian. "It's hokey, but it's a collaborative process." But, someone persisted, "is it safe to say the dynamic has changed?" "The dynamic has changed, there is no two ways about that," said Bill Polian.

Change is sometimes good, even for Indy.

I'm sure Chris would get this job even if his daddy didn't work there.

You said it. Why don't they tell us what kind of snack food they ate during the draft while they're at it?

Yeah, but the actually used the nightie one for a thread once. Kind of nice, because they made her look innocent and hot at the same time. Most of the pictures of her have "gold digger" written all over them.
