Not only is she a great shooter but she has of some of the best court awareness and is passer if have seen in women's BB or even men's BB. Her passing game impresses every bit as much as her shooting or even more.

The Fever have Bigs and Shooters, but those were triple teamed last year. Covering Caitlin will leave them to get open. She’s perfect for the Fever.

Lenny Moore = over 5000 yards rushing, 6000 yards receiving, 113 totals TDs, was on the 1958 and 1959 Championship teams. You are just talking to the wrong people that don't know how to do lists when you say INDY fans don't even put him on the list of best Colts Running Backs. He is the best Baltimore Colts RB of all-time, most people just do lists regarding players that have played for the Indianapolis Colts so naturally they are going to say Edge, Dickerson, and Faulk with a sprinkle of Taylor now. The 2 lists are different though. 

The Colts Franchise covers both. The NFL list of Colts Runnning Backs has to have Lenny Moore at the Top. His record for Consecutive Games with a TD stood since the early 1960s until a year or two ago.

I know ..I remember seeing that small plane that crashed into the upper deck at War Memorial Stadium after the Steelers playoff loss.

War Memorial Stadium was in Buffalo. You probably got the name wrong because of where you live?

 Baltimore had Memorial Stadium. I still have a brick from Memorial Stadium after it was torn down. The Colts moved to Baltimore in 1953. The Orioles moved to Baltimore in 1954 (the Original Baltimore Orioles are now the NY Yankees). I was born in Baltimore in 1954. Moved to Indiana in 1980, but got the Baltimore and York, Pa sports pages sent to me by my Mom.

Thanks!  I’m not sure I fully appreciated just how popular Clark has become so quickly.    Ahead of Halliburton?   Ahead of all Colts players?!?   I confess I didn’t realize that.   WOW, that is impressive.  
 

Appreciate the good 411.   🏆 

The Fever had 3 of their games televised last year.  Tonite is their first game this year, and  I’ve read they are scheduled to be on 36 times. (Edit- I had read that. I just checked WTHR, and they are covering 17 games, and The WNBA App says it will carry tonite for free, and every WNBA game on their League Pass. I read that Hulu will carry some games. I have no idea what other outlets will carry the Fever.) Ticket sales have skyrocketed nationwide for Fever Games- several nationwide arenas where the Fever will play away are sold out for her game. All before she has played a game. If she produces as advertised, she can and will write her ticket to riches. (And already has!)

He and Unitas redefined their positions.

Lenny Moore as well- yet Indy Fans don’t even put him on the list of Best Colts Running Backs. Some of his NFL TD Records were just broken in the past few years, after standing since the 1960s.

I don’t know why, but for some reason every year this post is always entertaining. What number will each player wear? I personally hope that Mitchell wears 17 my favorite number. I have a blank jersey with 17 on it. I would love to put Mitchell on the back of it.

not for 87 and it would be cool if reggie asked him to.  i don't want anyone in 88 again.  

I didn’t want anyone wearing 88 after John Mackey wore it, but we can’t retire them all….

[For fun something to think about]

Maybe we’ll take the best Corner available at 15, and grab Roman Wilson in the 2nd.He runs a 4.39 40, and caught 19 TDS for Michigan.  Playing for Harbaugh, we know he can block for the running game.

I had John Mackey #88.

[Bills Plan to release Hines]

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.

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.

It’s no surprise that they're going with someone from Baltimore, whom John Harbaugh can vouch for, and Jim probably already knows.

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.

I hate this time of year…weather sucks, and seems like people close to me die in Dec/Jan/Feb….just lost a great friend unexpectedly to a heart attack, and lost one of my best friend to suicide last year around this time.

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.

Don’t forget we should actually be at 9 wins if not for the refs against Cleveland.  I think this roster is actually better than we thought.  I sum it up to coaching.  We look much closer to the team from 2 years ago than last years team with largely the same roster all 3 seasons. 

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.

My question to the other poster was specifically about watching racing for the wrecks. 

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!’
