Irsay haven't tweeted anything since yesterday... He must be working hard on Manning's contract.

SW...my left thigh still remembers that long needle...has not been the same since.

The sting of that long needle never really goes away unfortunately does it? It still hurts like h*** even years after the fact. Just like #18's departure, it is gonna kill me man because we all know what's comin'up next & we are just waiting for the other shoe to drop with an enormous ...This won't feel good at all. Don't we at least get a sucker for our pain? More like a stiff drink.

LOL, Texans are proud of their heritage and it would be more like: "Just sent another yankee home air mail!"

I'ts a whole different world I guess.

When I hear my brother - who spent the first 40 years of his life living in NJ, then Philly, then Long Island - talking with a southern drawl, my mouth just hangs open in astonishment with probably spit pooling up on my shirt. Not saying it's a good thing or a bad thing, but I just can't wrap my head around it. At LEAST he isn't a Cowboys fan. That would be just too much.

That is a problem because the accent is real easy to pick up, the odd thing is when I visit with friends or family from there, which happens often, the drawl creeps back into my speech and it stays for days after getting home again.

I don't think I saw that one, subvet. Perhaps I should check it out.

I haven't seen "Starman" either. From what I remember, Gene Siskel & Rodger Ebert gave this film an enthusiastic "Thumbs Up" review when it was initially released. Just like Gramz, I will have to borrow it from my local library too I guess. Thanks for the recommendation subvet.

SW1, be prepared to "get something in your eye" at the end. I still heartily recommend it.

I am with you shecolt. We cannot just give an open check....or we will drain our savings. I have known people who have spent 100K on a wedding....craziness in it's utmost form.

Yeah but you should have seen the glares I got from my wife AND daughter when I (jokingly) suggested to have it in a country church we all know and have a pot luck in the basement.....

I could feel the stares even though I wasn't looking their way. Evidently wedding days are nothing to joke about.

Yup, for the bride to be it is their opportunity to play the role of princess. Everything is for her: the cake, the gown, the photographer, the presents, & the shiny diamond ring...Meanwhile, no one came to see rental tuxedo boy & all he gets is a thin silver band on his finger that looks like a washer that fell off a major appliance. Wedding are no laughing matter from the female perspective...EVER!!!

Subvet, if you get anymore stars Colts Forum may need footprints.

I just looked and you have 4 stars....someone get subvet another star. I tried...

I just read this so I went and think I got him his 5th star.

we had a lot of wind, just a few snow flurries so far.

Ditto here in Wisconsin too Gramz. High winds & just a few flakes. No real accumulation yet. I never understand why people spend good money to go downhill skiing when I do that everytime it snows on my metallic forearm crutches. Not fun at all in my humble opinion.

SW....one thing I will never be is a skier....wanted to at one point...I'm feelin it thinking about it buddy!

And Peyton will get to play the Pats twice each year!!

AZ with WR Larry Fitzgerald & Head Coach Ken Whisenhunt would be very appealing pieces to Manning no question. Seattle with RB Marshawn Lynch is a great piece too.

" Everybody wants Peyton except the Colts." Excellent point subvet. Why is that anyway? I know the Irsay answer: "We are in full re-building mode starting now." Never underestimate Yoda AKA Peyton Manning...He will make you pay heavily every single solitary time.

Future son in law is a great guy.....and has section 128 season tickets!

happy birthday!

Enjoy the game at the end of December birthday boy! Congratulations Subvet.

SW1 ~~ I load my grandkids up on fruits and veggies (well maybe a few M&M's)

Yes, I know nutrition should come 1st I suppose...Emphasis on should...but I do try to get my nephews to eat a least 1 healthy item while I watch over them. Perhaps, I should take some pointers from you Gramz. But, I was glad to see you splurge & give Kyndall a few M & M's under the table...LOL Gramz.

No kids....I live vicariously through others...You guys are awesome!!!

Lol, yeah I don't know what they are for but know I have them. Thanks to anyone who gave them to me! Your welcome subvet, I read your post about it earlier.

went from zero to five since 11:58 this morning... still not sure what they are or how that happened, but I feel special now. Thanks to whoever for that. How do I help make others feel special?

13 here....excellent subvet...IF you wanted to lose it. I hope that is the case. Regardless...a great accomplishment.

70 pounds really? If my memory is correct, don't you work in a bakery with hot ovens? That explains you extensive weight loss subvet. Stay hydrated & cool my friend. I don't want you passing out from exhaustion okay.

It's all good, the heat at work helped me lose the weight so I will look my best on 14Sept when I walk my daughter down the aisle and give her away to my new son in law. And there is a bonus to her happiness--he has field level end zone season tickets, don't get me wrong, he will be a wonderful husband as well!

I had never been a baseball watcher, but in the recent years it has been growing on me.. the nuiances of the pitch, the head games with the skippers, and I really like baseball pants.

"I really like baseball pants. " Wearing them or watching other athletes moving around in them? Just Kidding MCF! I couldn't resist asking you that. Inquiring minds want to know...HA! HA! Only Teasing!

Not knowing if MIColtsFan is male or female I chose to delay any reply to the comment....lol

I do not think I have it...need to check. Thanks!

thanks for the tip! I never heard of this and it sounds right up my alley

If you really want to watch it, find the first season and try it. These are the last episodes before cancellation and really aren't as good as the early ones were.

Thank you MIColtsFan. What did the red marks mean

Popularity is fleeting, never got to set at the "cool" table in school.....

That is hilarious subvet!!! I was an athlete that was not in a clique....I can relate.

I mean it in Celsius grades...

It is 35 here today and going to be 72....for example.

low 25 high 58 today... just like spring should be.. the heat wave last week was solar flare fluke, nice while it lasted other than the potential for the crops to be messed up, especially the apples and cherries!!!!!!

I knew you had to take in that water!! Probably even worse when there is a lot of humidity.

Really tough... I hate hot weather.

I get that, not a big fan of the heat. My office is air conditioned, but I frequently have to go out on the shop floor and we have ovens, it can get upwards of 120*F.. going to be a long summer, if 80*F days are starting already. The fog here was fanstastic this morning though 0.3m visibility, was really cool rolling off the lake

Band wagon fans are fun. I'll be here when they return!

well, I admit, I became a fan because of Peyton, watched him at UT and followed him to Indy, but now I am a Colts fan.

What's not to love about the Colts? <3 Lions are my number 2 team, so.. you take the good years with the bad and support your team!

Ditto! Hydrate! I remember an old NIKE commercial and it said if you're thirsty you're already a quart low!

Methinks that Nike might have a vested interest.

My understanding is that thirst is an accurate reflection of need, but that doesn't change the fact that 6 pounds in 8 hours is unhealthy - unless perhaps you are an elephant following a Richard Simmons video.

It wasn't that hot (93 indoors, 102 near the ovens)but it was humid and we were short handed so there wasn't much down time. I always take 4 or 5 liter size bottles of sparkling water to work with me and drink them all but rarely need to "pause for the cause."

Nope, I'll never get sunstroke, my water processing equipment works overtime.....but thank you for the good advise!

my thoughts, exactly.

Why is it necessary to completely destroy a team? Other NFL teams fonts seem to go that route when trying to improve or even rebuild.

There was a time when I didn't think anything could be worse than this past season....

While some people may question the quality & validity of the Duke QB throwing video, it does look like Peyton's throwing motion in my opinion. The fact the new CBA prohibits & prevents videotaping workouts makes me wonder who the person who filmed this video really is...Has anyone contacted Tom Condon, Peyton's agent, about this? What better way to jack up your free agency market price & bidding war...

With all the interest already shown, I don't think he needs to leak a throwing video. He'll show them up close and personal.

I am not implying, inferring, or implicating Tom Condon released this tape in any way, shape, or form...But, I will say that for NFL franchise GM's around the league Peyton's overall arm strength is a legitimate concern yet...This tape goes a long way toward alleviating those unfounded concerns & GM reservations in my opinion.

agreed!!!!!!

couldn't agree more...

I am very glad to have lived in the same lifetime as Peyton and been a fan of his.

Yoda [Peyton Manning] must remain in INDY. Andrew Luck is his apprentice now. Brilliance like Yoda's cannot simply be picked & plucked off any old NFL tree. Remember that please Jim Irsay.

Just had to show them who was in charge.....

I live in turkey vulture heaven....no eggs....just lots of strafing a la stealth bombers.

it's like they look for the clean cars, I swear...animal conspiracy. Last week I drove through a bug hatch of some kind, the guts just smeared around on my windshield with the cleaner solution and I could hardly see for a minute. GROSS!

Yeah, it's gonna be miserable and we don't have AC, even the break room just has a fan.

Taking my standard "hot day" supplies, 6 or 7 liters of sparkling water and gatorade.....

Try not to melt today subvet.

Good luck subvet....like I have said before...I do not miss my job on days like these....or 20 below for that matter. Good job on the fluids.

Every year they screw me out of one game, and it had to be this one.

Nope, even though South Bend is the only city between Chicago and Fort Wayne with stations we can't get the INDIANA team on Sunday. There has to be a way to change this stupid bleepin' rule when the game is sold out.

Northern Indiana was not showing game either, un freakin believable. They missed out on a great game that would have had a lot of viewers.

Happy birthday Jeff Bridges. I mean subvet. Just Kidding!!! I hope that you get a present that you actually want & enjoy. No boring ties or aftershave please. Thank you.

Happy early 60th...may your favorite Colts gear show up on your doorstep!

Thanks for the greetings, some of my family members are making a day trip from Indy it should be a fun day!
