In a surprising turn of events just minutes ago, former Wisconsin Badgers General Manager Ryan Grigson—who has recently re-emerged into the spotlight via high-profile media appearances and the launch of his unexpected but fast-rising hockey podcast “Power Play Perspectives”—has made headlines again with a sharp, unfiltered message directed at current Indianapolis Colts GM Marcus Sedberry and the entire organization.
Grigson, who once held the reins of the Colts front office from 2012 to 2016, took to a live segment on ESPN’s The Blitzline, where he was initially booked to discuss the NHL pre-season. But the conversation took a dramatic turn.
“I’m watching what’s happening in Indianapolis right now, and I’ll say this—there’s no vision, no accountability, and frankly, no excuse,” Grigson said. “Sedberry’s trying to build a Ferrari with duct tape and ego. That locker room deserves leadership, not theatrics.”
The remarks come just after the Colts suffered a frustrating home loss to a struggling AFC rival, and amid growing rumors of locker room discontent and questionable personnel decisions.
Sources close to Grigson say the comments were not pre-scripted but stemmed from “genuine concern” over what he called the “eroding culture” of a team he once helped build around quarterback Andrew Luck.
The Colts organization has yet to respond publicly, though insiders suggest that Sedberry was “stunned” by the intensity of the criticism.
Social media has exploded in the past half hour with reactions from fans, former players, and even a few current NFL personalities. Some praised Grigson’s candor, while others called it a “desperate grab for attention” as his podcast gains traction in the sports media world.
