David Ross said all the right things when he addressed the Winter Meetings media Tuesday in San Diego, which was an improvement over his predecessor in and of itself. That’s not the only area in which Ross hopes to promote change, something he made very clear during his introductory press conference. “Accountability” was the word of the day that first time around, to the point that each repetition caused listeners’ eyes to roll back just a little further in their sockets.
It appears that some of his more egregiously obvious talking points have been sanded smooth by the last few weeks of managerial boot camp, though it could just be a matter of Ross feeling more comfortable in his position.
