Is that Neil Schon? Yes, he does look a little like Springsteen. Neil has been around for a while. He was actually the other guitar player with Santana at the original Woodstock in 69.

Glad you enjoyed the show. Posting pics is a royal pita. I would post more pics if I didn't have to go through photobucket.

They are not clear because I had to re-size them to fit here. The original pics look better.

Hello NFLfan thanks for inquiring.  We dodged a bullet here in the Rochester area.  Only a few inches so far.  Not expecting too much more.  An hour and a half towards Buffalo and it’s really bad.  Orchard Park is buried.  It looks like they are off to a big lead in the snowfall race between Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse.  Here’s hoping it stays that way.  Lol.  Take care and stay safe as well.

@coltsfansince65  Je suis d'accord, mon ami.

I agree with you (he is very lucky).

"Bonne Chance" tomorrow.   Hope the weather cooperates. It is beautiful today. Enjoy it!

Merci ma chere.

I take it you speak French too Colts Fan since 1965!

i wondered the same, did a search and found this post.  looks like he last logged in on Tuesday.  hoping everything is alright 

@aaron11 Thanks. I noticed that while he last logged in on Oct. 23rd, the last time that he posted a comment was 2 weeks before that on Oct. 9th. Hopefully he is just taking a break. 

@oldunclemark Glad to see you logged in. Many here were concerned about you. We missed you. How are you doing? Hope you're well. 

Yep, that was quite an accomplishment indeed.

Now, I wanna see women break the glass ceiling as CEO's in business as well as the American Presidency--It's long overdue. I'm getting sick & tired of sexism let me tell ya. 

Well done ladies; Well done. Bravo! 

@2006Coltsbestever

Your relative must be surprised. I wonder what he is thinking. I think I told you and someone else here that I thought you guys could beat us. QBs like Luck, Stafford, and Brady (good QBs) give us trouble.

I also wrote in a thread that I did not think AP would do much. He is one of the most overrated players today (not his career -- just since last year). I was not excited about getting him back.

Anyway, hopefully the forum will be more positive this week.

Too bad they didn't show up in games that mattered....No different than the Saints right now. Lose the important games, win the meaningless ones. Both of our teams are screwing us out of better draft positions. 

I really respect that about you NFLfan. You are loyal to your franchise, hanging with them despite a challenging yr, [Denny Green & Prince passing, Bridgewater down, AP only recently reactivated, Zimmer's eye situation, Norv Turner leaving the team unexpectedly, FG kicker Blair Walsh being let go permanently in November. This too shall pass my friend.] & just your overall positive outlook on things in general. 

You're a valuable asset around here & I appreciate your fondness for top tier musicians & bands close to your heart too. 

I took no pleasure in Minnesota's loss because I respect that football program under Zim's leadership. Was I relieved INDY won that game? Sure, but I don't gloat because I know how talented that roster really is & that the Colts just got lucky or the football gods smiled on us that Sunday that's all. 

Have a Happy New Year & an even better 2017 socially, financially, & franchise based moving forward. 

Coltsfansince65, what do you think of picking up JJ Nelson. He is playing against your Colts but the Cards are thin at WR. John Brown is out. Nelson may be a good pick up. 

NFLfan,  Sorry I didn't see this any earlier. I don't think that's a terrible idea. If you didn't pull the trigger & hope you grabbed someone else who can help you.

@coltsfansince65

I was making the recommendation for you. I took Cooper Kupp earlier in the week. 

The Vikings had a very impressive game! Defense looked good and the offense took over. Dalvin Cook was on my fantasy team, and he helped me do quite well. 

Colts very close to pulling off a win but no cigar. Could meet later in the playoffs. So far so good on Jacoby B!

@NFLfan, Wow! You're Vikings were lethal against the Falcons in Week 1. Talk about taking the dirty birds to the woodshed & clipping their wings. Amazing!

Gary Kubiack was a tremendous new hire by Mike Zimmer too. Overjoyed for your club my friend. 

Thanks for the kind words regarding the Colts as well. You Rock!!!

Still living the same except practicing social distancing and washing my hands more. I shower daily too  . In Indiana a lot of places are closed and traffic has died way down from the norm. Grocery stores and gas stations are still open. Fast food places are open too. Where I work at is a food plant so we are consider essential, we aren't closing. Business is slow so I just sit in my office and chime in here a lot  . Anything that has to do with food or medicine will stay open. Hospitals are of course open too. I have no problems going to work and back regarding the police. I haven't seen many out actually. How is it in NY as of today?

It is similar in NY but there is a some fear and anxiety. We have so many cases of COVID-19. @Nadine had posted something on the Coronavirus thread in Misc Section. It says NYS is expected to lose over 14,000 people (deaths) by Aug 4th. Indiana was much lower but still large. 

I'm ok, working from home. I leave my home just to shop for food and other needed items. I'm thankful that I am still working. So many people are not so fortunate. They are all in my thoughts and prayers. So are those in hospitals, supermarkets, and pharmacies who still have to leave home to work. I hope this ends soon.

I have some life long friends who have moved to the area and I haven't been able to see them yet.  Been trying to find a housewarming gift online but most things I thought of were closed because of covid-19.  I talked to them yesterday and found out that they are struggling to find cleaning supplies and paper products.  Then I had a genius moment.  The perfect gift is toilet paper and disinfectant! Scored some this am and am dropping them by their house today!

@stitches What about McCall from Coastal Carolina?

https://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/sports/college/sun-belt/coastal-carolina-university/article265240606.html

Have not watched him. No idea

started a thread about 2023 prospects. I'm watching mainly QBs so far:

Hey I hope all is well with yours as well.  My internet is down....on my phone now...going to try to post some Steely Dan in memory of Walter...

Still trying....ughhhh.

No worries. 

I'm still cleaning upi after hurrican Irma here, so don't spend much time in research these days.  So I can't give you a link until I have time later.  but in the meantime, think of these things.  Injured players must be paid. period.  If you want to waive them, there must first be an injury settlement. IOW, they must be paid for the amount of time it would take them to be fully rehabbed.

Money (especially elite players) - not only is their contracts high, so is guaranteed money.  That money is paid to the player up front at signing (unless a contractual alteration is agreed to). So the team 'Cap Hit' is spread out and manageable.  The owners 'Cash Hit' , however, is immediate and much larger.  A team cannot recoup any of that cash, and I'm pretty sure the cap hit stays with the team as dead money, since it is on their books as already paid.  Superman would be better to consult on these items. So any team would absolutely want to trade for injured elite players, but it appears there is no incentive for a team to trade that commodity away, considering the enormous resources already put into them that cannot be recouped.  So whether their is a rule about trading a n injured players rights or not, looking at some of the details of the deal seem to prevent it from ever happening.

Oh, and there is a trade deadline too, I think it is Halloween this year.  Try Superman, I'll be the could explain more and better.

Back to cleanup and helping out the neighborhood however I can.

Thanks. Sorry to hear that. About a third of my extended family lives in South Florida, east and west. So, I have heard about the current conditions. Glad all are safe. All the best with the recovery and clean-up.

The more I read, the more I am assuming that there is no rule against trading players on IR or PUP. I read an article that recommended that the Jets trade for A. Robinson, WR, Jags. I believe he is on IR. The writer also thought the Jets should trade for Teddy. Ugh. I would hate that. Giants maybe, not the dysfunctional Jets. 

Take it easy, if you can.

Such a senseless act, hopefully the people that were injured recover. To the people that lost their lives, RIP and my condolences goes out to their families. Not sure how we can put a stop to the violence but this is the USA so we aren't backing down from any terrorists.  

"...this is the USA so we aren't backing down from any terrorists."

Amen! 

A former NYC policeman said in an interview that he thinks this kind of thing is the "new normal." I tend to agree with him, as scary as it is. These kind of attacks are happening too often, and it's just become a part of our lives now. Depressing to think of it that way, but how else could we consider it? Dangerous world we live in.

My power goes out every hour and is 17 degrees currently thanks for checking up 

Stay safe. Keep your phones and/or computers charged when you do have power.

No.  Ours was hazy cloudy.  The total darkness was cool though.

I don't believe I have ever been awestruck before.  It was an experience I'll never forget.  Just AMAZING

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. @Nadine

Were many tickets available to the general public who don't are not season ticket holders? What were the ticket prices reasonable? 

Happy Holidays! Hope the job is going well.

I made a typo there. Lol. You get what I mean... Are there many tickets for those who are not season ticket holders? 

Yes, you can buy single game tickets. Last time around there were still tickets for the games right up to the event itself.

If anybody can make it back & play again it will be Teddy B. We are all pulling for him & hope to see him back under center, healthy & competing again real soon. The league needs more Teddy Bridgewaters. To all his fans & you especially, we as more than fans of football but fans of humanity want this man back ASAP.

@coltsfansince65 Thank you so much for that. I appreciate it.

Enjoy the good weather while it lasts. I heard our area will have bad weather on Sunday.

All the best to the Colts!

Sorry Lady...I feel for you!

Every win is a must win. The Mets should be a much improved team this season.

I hope. I have been following the Mets SB Nation site called AmazinAvenue. The folks there are excited about the upcoming season... The Vikings have taught me not to get too excited. 

Although the Cubs didn't make any big splashes this offseason, they are still very talented. Bryant is 100% healthy and I have been hearing Yu will be ready when the season starts. Lester and Hamels both are older but still are considered #1's on some teams and #2's on most teams. The Cubs will attempt to make their 5th straight playoff appearance in 2019. They have made the playoffs = 2015-2018, winning the WS in 2016, great run. I am excited for Baseball to begin.

Merry Christmas to you as well!!!!!! 

Merry Christmas 

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you & your family as well.

A Colts/Vikes Super Bowl would be a dream come true.

Yes I would like to participate.  Thank you for the invitation.

Okay, we will discuss this further after the Super Bowl.

Enjoy the upcoming games.
