  1. Joe has always worn #5. AR is #5. Wonder what number Joe’ll have here?????
  2. Yeah, I am- but I’m weeks from turning 70, and doctor told me this morning that I need a shoulder replacement….. Thanks for the thought, tho!!!!!!!
  3. He wanted out of Indy under Frank. Frank’s gone. Shane has proven to be exciting and inventive. Hines appears to be a great fit for Shane as a reliable set of receiving skills.
  4. Does the list show the complete list of Colts HOF 1953-2024? I’d love to see how it shows Unitas, Berry, Moore, Curtis, and Parker.
  5. I’ve never heard of Mahomes called Kermit. How’d they come up with that one????
  6. Nope. I’ve read too many Indy Star Articles. Can’t get by subscribing. It’s ok. I’ll hear him on Kevin Bowen’s show….
  7. That’s my first thought! For a while I almost expected Jim to take the Commanders Job- only because his Brother is 30 miles away- and it appears that Family means everything to those Brothers.
  8. Eagles lost their OC and their DC. Now they’re struggling
  9. My condolences. I lost my Mother in Law in Feb 2019 and my Mom 11 days later. I used to haul caskets. More people DO die in Winter than Summer. The Flu, car wrecks, Depression/Suicide, and the Eldery just aren’t strong enough to fight the cold.
  10. I see it as the Refs blew it in the Cleveland game, but also blew it , giving us the win in the Ravens game on Speed’s probable interference. So we’re 8 wins either way. In the end, we are what we are. Bad enough to struggle to beat Carolina and New England- but good enough to have gone toe to toe the NFL’s best teams.
  11. In Open Wheel Racing, wrecks can kill people. But in NASCAR, whenever certain drivers are in the top 3-6 for the last lap, every NASCAR fan knows a 15 car pileup is about to happen. And that those certain drivers will do whatever it takes to get the win. I don’t like it. But almost every NASCAR fan I know loves ‘Rubbin is Racin!’
  12. Born there in 1954. Raised 40 miles north in Pa, listening to Chuck Thompson do play by play on WSBA and WBAL. The night I got engaged, we went to Memorial Stadium and watched Jim Palmer beat the Rangers. Moved to Indiana in 1980. (My Wife is a Hoosier!) My Mom sent me the Sports Pages from Balt Sun, Balt News American, York Gazette, and York Daily Record. Colts followed me to Indiana in 1984.
  13. That was my Orioles last year. Basically, a Truple A team playing in the Majors. This year, best record in the American League. Look out next year! Now I’m hopeful for my Colts to duplicate what the Os have done!
  14. I really did think we might beat the (I thought lowly) Texans at home, and struggle to win a second game the entire season. Man am I glad to admit being WRONG!!!!!!
  15. I definitely wanted Levis here! (But I’m a Penn St fan and watched him there before he transferred). I believe that, in five years, he and AR will be the same good NFL QB, but for now- I see Levis as 2-3 yrs ahead of AR in development. Had the Colts drafted Levis, I believe we’d be challenging for the AFC South Title. As to the Titans- our home is divided. I’ve been a Colts fan for more than 65 yrs! My Youngest and his Children are a Titans family. Lots of discussion when we play each other!
  16. I also believe he realizes he survives because of Steichen’s playmaking. Gardner, left to his own, eventually gets figured out by NFL Defenses. He followed Steichen here, and I think he stays and realizes his niche is a really good Back-Up.
  17. Quite the advancement since I played H.S. In 69-71. Then the helmet was a piece of plastic with a rubber strip snapped in the front, back, and top. Passed down from year to year. As the Center, I pushed a fat kid onto the Guard next to me, and the Guard’s helmet broke in half.
  18. One is in Indiana, as well. 15 miles SE of Lafayette. The joke is- how do you pronounce the Capitol of Ky- Lewisville, Louieville , or Luaville? Frankfort…..
  19. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldstadion_(Frankfurt) Frankfort is about the same Latitude as Calgary, Canada. Apparently their stadium does have a retractable roof. Will be interesting to see if it’s open or closed, since the forecast is 45 degrees and rain.
  20. Patriots are #2 Defense against the run- our only strength. Weather supposed to be a high of 45 and showers. And Colts Passing Game is lacking….. I Hate NE! But I don’t exactly have high hopes for my Colts this weekend….
  21. The reason deflategate was important, was it happened between NE and Baltimore, not the Colts. NE used easier to catch “softer” balls in the Ravens game. The Ravens couldn’t catch balls in that weather, but somehow NE could? So the Ravens warned the Colts to watch for it. Here’s the important part- had Baltimore hung on and beaten NE- (the Ravens were ahead until some ‘miracle catches’) the Championship game would have been the Ravens coming to Indy! The Colts would have been the Home Team.
  22. I have to go beyond 20 yrs: Bert Jones- backed up Marty Domres. Until he started. Unless we count Johnny Unitas backing up Earl Morral who was backing up Johnny Unitas. Or Tom Matte- Emergency QB backing up Gary Cuozo who backed up Unitas. Matte became first to use the wristband, and QBed almost to the Championship Game
  23. I don’t see the games, I hear them while I’m working. Are we keeping TE in to help Freeland block?
