1 inquiry & 1 comment buccolts: Colts=Indianapolis Colts Buc=Tampa Bay Bucs or Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA? I'm assuming the NFL Bucs in Florida correct?

1 comment: I like your avatar/profile picture. Where is it from? What was your inspiration? Not enough people where sophisticated hats in photographs anymore. Nice selection IMO. :hat:

 

Colts, yes (obviously), but Buc is for the Pirates.

And though it was always team first, Unitas & Clemente were my heros when I was a kid.

 

My avatar? It's a young Tom Waits. I've always been a fan. Especially of his low-life lounge singer bit in the 70's and early 80's.

I scoped out quite a few musical photos, and though this would be a good one for the forum.

I also thought no one would ever guess who it was, but IndyTrav did a while back.

Yep, it's not me, but I'm glad you like it.

I just took the things i'm most passionate about in life and combined them. Colts and family. I used to be Colt%man21 and I was paying homage Bob Sanders but when we had to sign up with the new forum I chose this one. It's also my psn tag and email

2 very nice things to be passionate about family & Colts. Bob Sanders was a fantastic safety too. It's a crying shame his body physically broke down as soon as it did. Sanders was a difference maker on the field & a fine, upstanding young man IMHO. It's neat to see the variety of crucial insights into so many of the people that I call friends, not to mention greet new Blue Horseshoe fans on an almost weekly basis too. Very Cool! :thmup:

I like your signature quotes too: "Be yourself, everyone else is taken (Oscar Wilde)

We need to replace random acts of violence with random acts of Kindness (Me)" Great advice too by the way!

SW1, are you from the Northeast?

haha no 100GFB, but my family usually wants to send me to exile on Saint Helena near the West Coast of Africa every New Year's with a 1 way plane ticket for some reason. Napoleon Bonaparte was banished there in 1815. Hey, if it's a cozy  Mediterranean spot for isolated emperors in the South Atlantic Ocean, the waiters there must make a margarita there to die for right?  :funny:

Hey Andy, Is your middle name longwinded? I'm just wondering.  :clap:  haha Just Kidding man! 

You were just ironically alluding to the shortness of his "story", right SW :D  It sounded a little mean - which could be why 100GFB asked you if you were from the Northeast. Reasonable assumption. For example all NJ school children have to get at least a "B" in "hand gestures" before they are even allowed to enter high school.

Lots of nice contributions to this epic thread MAC, but no explanation to the origins of your name?

 

1. You are Scottish

2. You are a big tennis fan

3. You like fast foods

4 It's an acronym for Manning and Clark

5. Somthing else

My parents gave me a one way ticket to "Krakatoa East of Java"! I didn't consider that negative but positive compliment as I was hot stuff! Think you're wrong as Magaritaville as it's the next stop past Clarksville!

The bad thing about my old username and email is that people would break the name down the wrong way, instead of colts hitman they would often say colt  hitman(but they would add the s in front of hitman) so needless to say that got old very quickly!

 

The first quote I actually saw on a car commercial, it was either Chrysler or Lincoln?

 

The second quote came after I had watch a bunch of coverage of the Sandy Hook Tragedy.

 

Thanks for the compliments SW!

Sorry to take this thread off topic; but as I was reading through it, I noticed that several of the males here have told us that their username is also their nickname. 

 

I only know two women who have nicknames.  But, my husband knows several males who have nicknames  . . . a few of which include Slick, Bones, Shorty, Crusty, Smoke, Odie, Bodeen, Sugar Bear, Noodle, Brown, Skinny, Lofty, Doc, and Darrel. 

 

I have often asked guys why they have such an affinity for nicknames, but have never received an answer other than "That's just the way it is with guys".  So, I'm wondering if any of you can give me a clue.

;) Yes, I was alluding to the briefness of the story that is true MAC. I wouldn't call it mean or a "reasonable assumption." Direct perhaps, but not mean, especially with "Just Kidding man!" written after it. It's how I was raised. I meant no disrespect to Andy. There is a difference between cruelty & sarcasm. My apologies Andy if what I said was not well received by you or if it personally offended you.

Thank you BHC. I appreciate your kind words on my behalf. Thank you. :hat: I have gotten into a little bit of trouble with my directness in the past on this site & I want to ensure that everyone's perspective or point of view is welcome even if the team or athlete they may idolize is not held in high regard by yours truly.

I enjoy reading your take on things & your Scotland background as well. I am intrigued by other countries, traditions, & cultures BHC & if I ever say something that does not sit well with you please don't hesitate to tell me my friend. Thank you. :thmup:

Pleasure.....but I will call you on the small market bias that upsets you so.......I know what you are saying, but it is no different to life itself. Many are more priviliaged than others - and we don't like communisim, now do we?. It's the cycle of life. In sport, it is easier to resolve though, and less important. We are very lucky with the NFL, and the design to reach parity. I live in a socer world, where all the fat cats just get fatter, and it's ruining the game....but it is that, just a game.....

And while the guys are answering this question, I'd also like to know how come guys don't have 'friends'............they have 'buddies'

 

Women never have buddies, they always have just regular friends :)

      Update: Charges against Drew Ogletree dismissed with prejudice (merge). **Ogletree reinstated pg4 updated**

      By Smonroe · Posted

      I couldn't agree more with the bolded statement.  Once a player is on the team, the only thing his draft position does for him (aside from the money) is maybe give him a little more time to develop.  Mainly because teams are reluctant to admit that their research didn't pan out and they want to see their guy succeed.   As far as defense, I feel the number one responsibility of the GM and the coach is to help the franchise QB be the franchise QB, if you get what I mean.  And until that's proven, if it means sacrificing a need on defense in order to enhance the QB's arsenal, so be it.  But that's just me...

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By Solid84 · Posted

      Yeah I didn’t get the impression he felt a huge need to draft a CB.    He was asked about mentioning YAC guys and he said every team wants them. The Colts have had meetings with the two top YAC guys in the draft - Brock Bowers and Malachi Corley. I absolutely think we’re taking Bowers if he falls to us and I even think we may jump up a couple of picks to land him.    If Bowers gets taken ahead of us I feel pretty certain we’re trading back hoping to land another 3rd rounder.    I didn’t catch if they were talking about draft targets or players already on the roster when they talked about on dimensional guys? My initial thought was Pierce.    I think it’s a given we’re taking at least one Olineman this draft, but that’s not really anything new.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By stitches · Posted

      My guesses based on this presser:   - Ballard will NOT draft a CB in the 1st... maybe at all? Everything he's saying seems to suggest he likes the group we have and he wants to see them play and have a chance to develop. I'm almost certain if Mitchell for example is there at 15... we pass on him... either for trade back or for an offensive weapon... or DE? - Ballard WILL trade back. If not in the 1st... then later in the draft... but most probably in the 1st. IMO he pretty much advertised to his potential customers by telling them how many 1st round grades he has. Teams 19-21 are welcome to call and will receive warm greetings from Ballard. Rams, Steelers, Dolphins?  - He seemed to be talking about a specific someone one dimensional offensive weapon when he was talking about them just having had a meeting about a certain player... about whether them and the coaching staff see the way he can be used the same way... and if they agree on this, IMO this is a potential target for the Colts. The names that come to mind - Brian Thomas Jr and Xavier Worthy... A lot of the other WRs are more well rounded...  - The Colts LOVE the OL class both at the top and in depth. I have seen some OL experts suggest there might be 10 starting centers in this draft... and the OTs class in the 1st is like nothing I've ever seen. Can we draft an OL in the 1st? Doubt it... but absolutely expect a few shots on day 2 and 3.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Solid84 · Posted

      We have TWO top 10 tackles in Raimann and Smith though? We need depth, sure, but I hope we’re not looking for depth in the 1st round…

      True, but where they were drafted has no relevance to how they play now which is what would keep a team from drafting Bowers.    I’d like if we got another weapon for AR, but I feel we have a lot of needs - especially on defense. OL is probably the only choice I’d be really disappointed with.
