I don't know what's even going on  my heads spinning. Go irsay

How about that, I was wrong after all. Irsay stepped up and fired a shot heard around the world. I guess missing the Playoffs 2 years in a row was enough to make a move. It is definitely the right move.

It took irsay long enough, but finally made the necessary move.

What's next? We had Peyton go out a Champion as an underdog vs the Pats and Panthers, Cavs came back from 3-1 in the Finals to beat the 73-9 Warriors as an underdog for that cities 1st Title in 52 years, Cubs came back from 3-1 in the WS and won the WS for the 1st time in 108 years, now Clemson comes back being down 14-0 to beat an undefeated Bama team and win their 1st Title in 35 years! Could a team like the Chiefs or Falcons actually win the SB?

That was great! So happy for Swinney and Watson. What a way to end a tremendous college career!

I'm a huge fan of Dabo Swinney. He seems like such a great guy, very happy for him. 

Yeah he is.

I agree RTB & M-432. Get the ball to our playmakers & Jack is definitely flowing better than Allen at the moment. 

In College he is, I agree. I know some people want him to Coach the Colts but I am not sure about him in the Pro's if he decided to come back to the NFL. His stint with the Dolphins was Average.

Hes pretty much the Bill Belichick of college coaches. Its pretty amazing what he does.

Completely different era of college football where big money helps more than anything, and he was an absolute failure in the NFL. He's an OK coach, but I doubt he would have the same success with an NFL team or a college team that didn't spend 32X more on football than the rest of the country. 

I would take Bear Bryant over him, easily. Bryant's players went into the NFL and many of them became hall of famers, including a number of QB's. Nick Saban has only one QB going into the NFL that has won a regular season game. 

I hope Santa was good to ya RTB & you received  much more than a lump of coal in your stocking. 

Last night on TV, I watched "The Santa Clause" starring Tim Allen. Despite being a PG Disney flick, that movie has some good next level jokes in it. Case in point: 

"Johnny, naughty. Gary, nice. Veronica, very nice." "In your dreams, sleigh boy."

"You know, you look pretty good for your age." Thanks, but I'm seeing someone in wrapping."

If you have never seen the film, a materialistic salesman living in Chicago startles Santa on his roof. The guy in the red suit disappears, his son Charlie encourages his father Scott Calvin [S.C. initials] to put on the suit & deliver presents with the help of Rudolf, & to make a long story short Scott becomes the next Saint Nick via a business card clause in the old Chris Cringle suit. The clause reads as follows: 

"The Santa Clause: In putting on this suit and entering the sleigh, the wearer waives any and all rights to any previous identity, real or implied, and fully accepts the duties and responsibilities of Santa Claus, in perpetuity until such time that the wearer becomes unable to do so, by either accident or design." 

Legal jargon like the word perpetuity in a children's picture just strikes me as funny. Not to mention the passive aggressive attitude that Tim Allen's character over the notion of becoming Santa Claus himself & his early resistance to the new gig. 

In addition, I liked seeing Santa & company get his groove on to ZZ Top's 'Sharp Dressed Man' as he fully embraces his new role & additional weight gain too. 

Oh, I don't think that people who don't dismiss the incident necessarily hate him or don't root for him.  None of us knows what really went on so, anything we think we know may or may not be close to reality. I think the Bill Cosby reference was only in relation to an issue that started small and meaningless and ended up being pretty serious.  I suppose that's a possibility, albeit highly unlikely.  It's all very unfortunate but, I don't care about any of it nearly as much as I care about the issues at UT which do appear extremely serious.  Honestly, I was surprised to see people so invested in taking sides in an issue that will have no resolution one way or the other.  The issue at hand is UT handing (or mishandling) of charges against athletes. The Manning thing is over and was cited only by way of illustrating a long history of this 'type' of thing.  No doubt the timing and including his name was to gain publicity.  And it worked, people are fighting about it here.

Anyway, I think it's very clear that the vast majority of Colts fans are also fans of Peyton Manning.  Pretty impossible not to be.  There is a lot of love for him here

Peyton will rise above the negativity. This is more about the University.  As was stated, the woman was trying to get something on the University for 6 years prior to the incident in question. She had filed 33 previous claims against other athletes and coaches. The university settled with her, also stating that she shared responsibility in the harrassment taking place,  which makes me question was she part of a sting operation or what.  I mean if she really felt traumatized or harrassed, would she continue on in that situation for 6 years waiting for the right payday?

@Mrs. Misunderstood that's entirely possible.  If this thing keeps going maybe we'll find out.  Allegedly both agreed to not talk about this and yet neither seems be be able to keep that agreement. For sure all we really know is that they really don't like one another.  Time will tell I suppose but, it doesn't much matter to me nearly as much as University culture that allows far worse than this.

Hah you got that right!

Thanks RTB. Same to you. Remember to take a moment & pay respect to all veterans past & present who protect our liberties both stateside & abroad. 

Especially the fallen ones who made the ultimate sacrifice as well as the soldiers, sailors, air men, coast guard, & marines doing tours in remote corners of the globe right now. 

Thank you to all the spouses & children of military men & women serving as well. 

Not a moment too soon.

Here is something for Colts fans if it has not already been posted.

Can't wait!...plus the end of these south Florida summers begins to wane...............

Glad I couldn't view that whooping...ooops sorry for the double post.

In other news, I hope Michigan Football keeps losing.....

Interim Philbin, then bring in my man Jim Harbaugh. We need to quit messing around.

Guess it's time to watch myself around you more often now. ;) 

Dang, don't get all high maintenance on us  

But congrats dude. Fun times for all!

Awesome!  Couldn't have picked a cooler poster. 

Too bad Stanford is playing Rice. That won't be much of a competitive game.

We need a thread about the Notre Dame situation. You're from Indy. Do the fans want Kelly back? What do they think about the NCAA vacating all their wins for two years?

Enjoy the games.

Re: my comment above, I just heard that Kelly will be back. I am surprised.

Very entertaining games today indeed. Congrats on your UK victory against Louisville. I watched Michigan @ OSU and ND @ USC.  I enjoyed both.

I know ND fans are nothappy with Kelly. ND was pretty bad this year. And thanks! We are 7-5 this year which is pretty awesome. 

RIP Malcolm...

Yeah fortunately it’s all melting now.

Yeah not too bad out here. We got lucky.

Yeah the weathermen got it wrong it looks like. Wasn't nearly as bad as they were saying.

 no problem. To be honest, I had no idea there was even a follow option until you followed me. But I enjoy the stuff you post and always recognize you by your awesome avatar  

One game at a time! Time take to names and kick some butt and prove the doubters wrong!

Boston will almost certainly lose tonight. No way LeBron only scores 11 points again. 

I agree, no way the Cavs lose tonight, if they lose tonight that would be embarrassing. The Celtics are without their best player and the Cavs have so much more talent on the court and are at home. This honestly shouldn't even be close after what happened the other night.

It is too bad that Isaiah got hurt as Boston possibly could have sold high on him this off season.  His offense doesn't overcome his defensive liabilities.

How Fisher still has a job is beyond me. He is the epitome of mediocre.

He's a good defensive coach, that's about it.. If he shifted back to being a coordinator, I would gladly take him. 

Bogie is right. Jeff Fisher is so overrated as a head coach it's not even funny man. 

Glad to see you back. You were missed.

Welcome back! You one of my favourite posters on here!

Nice to see that RTB has returned. We all need a holiday now & then. No sweat. Glad to see your re-emergence once again.

Can I swing by for some chicken & Coors on the grill too GFB? Sounds delicious & I'll even help you clean up afterwards too. 

No problem SW1 but it's already leftovers!

How 'bout tomorrow night will be doing a stew/soup or whatever I can find in the cabinet/refrigerator/freezer!... Sorry RTB but when SW1 and I start we sometimes get off the subject a little!  Lol!
