If you can no longer bully them, join them.

Former Colts Vice Chairman Bill Polian is a full-fledged member of the media after getting hired by SiriusXM to host Late Hits three times next week. (Here’s a preview: He predicts the Patriots will lose the Super Bowl.)

SportsBusiness Journal reported earlier in the week that Polian hired representation to handle his media career. While Polian hasn’t officially retired from the NFL, that’s a strong sign Polian is transitioning to a media-only phase. Polian was not mentioned as a possible candidate for any of the vacant G.M. openings this offseason.

We’re going to assume that Polian will allow SiriusXM to continue to provide links to the show over the Internet. And if someone wants to transcribe your show, Bill, that’s actually a good thing.
