Lies are never necessary. Why would they be if everyone knows they're lies? Why even have a press conference, then? Why should reporters attend? And how is saying the tight end spot was a problem a competitive disadvantage? Pace should be grilled in person his BS called out. https://t.co/qgCI7IBoVu

Give me an example of an nfl coach or Gm who doesn't lie publicly

Chris Ballard spoke for nearly 75 minutes, answering 50+ questions. Was probably about as raw and honest as an NFL GM's going to be.

He admitted the Luck situation didn't truly sink in until 2 days ago, when the season was over. It was the first time he could catch his breath.

Ballard was reportedly the favorite to become #Bears GM until late in the process when Ryan Pace charmed George McCaskey and Ted Phillips (and the Bears feared Ballard's past connection to the team would not signal the fresh start they wanted to portray). https://t.co/tmuOfpAuTi
