Jules

You mentioned that your husband is a Red Sox fan; is he also a Patriots fan? That would make for an interesting relationship if he were.  Anyway, enjoy the game and I hope the Colts can pull out a victory. 

Yeah I try to hide he is a Boston sports fan here but I think the cat is out of the bag.  My husband is from Worcester, MA. He's one of the nice ones though and actually likes Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck.

I had told some people a while ago here too I live in New England. We moved here when I was a very young. I was born and raised in Indy though.

Only team I kept with me from moving was the Colts and I will never give up the Colts. He knows this.  I kinda like the Pacers but never got hard into them. I only kept the Colts as my childhood team. I have not been to Indy since 2007.

But with the Patriots, I think it's more like his third team or something. He is more into the Red Sox and Celtics.

I adopted the Celtics with him last summer and it was real easy. I always was into Brad Stevens going back to his Butler days. We kinda do the Celtics thing together hardcore.

The first picture he ever saw of me btw was me with a Colts scarf around my neck. It was a pic of me and my cousin Erin. Erin's husband Rich showed Mark (my husband) me and said "You should meet Erin's cousin."

Your husband sounds pretty cool Jules. Did he just say he likes Peyton Manning & Andrew Luck as part of the courtship phase of your relationship though? No guy is completely honest in that phase as we tend to do a number of things to impress our partner or win brownie points vs truly believe what we say at that juncture.

It's fine. I'm not here to make waves. If he makes you happy, nothing else matters in the grand scheme of things. Enjoy the game regardless of the final score. I hope you have good seats.

To be fair I did expect the C's to win tonight since they had a rest and the Cavs were on a back to back. But I didn't think it would be so easy.......

I am SHOCKED Boston won so easily without Kyrie having a good shooting night. But for all those who said he was A BALL HOG. He isn't. His shots were not going in tonight so instead of forcing it he got everyone else involved. He didn't try to play hero ball vs. Cleveland when they were covering him so much in this game.

I just don't know about this Cavs defense though, I mean they got torn the hell up even by Rozier tonight.  

And IT won't help them defensively.

I am a big big fan of defense. Hell the Pacers scored easier on the Celtics.........

Hope Kevin Love will be okay, he hurt his ankle. He gets hurt way too many times in Boston. But he was not playing well before the injury either, Horford was owning him. Big Love fan but he can be fragile.

Feel bad for IT too since he seems to genuinely still love Boston and the people. Sigh........he was even smiling when it was over.

Wishing you a great Christmas and a wonderful time with your family.

Thanks guys, was checking in before I went to bed. Merry Christmas to you guys as well and have a wonderful weekend!!!! 

The Colts might be in a rough year but we still got each other and bright times are ahead again for next year, count on it.

Lakers just ended the Rockets 14 game winning streak at Houston. Kuzma had 38 Points. Lonzo 16 Points, 9 Rebounds, 4 Assists. Merry Christmas Jules!

And there you have it!!!!! Finally the Lakers got "the win" they needed and I been waiting for. Just in time too. Lonzo gets an extra present in his stocking now.  

Merry Christmas Lakers Nation and Kobe .

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

 

I still like the Lakers a bit on the side, but it was more of a Kobe Bryant thing with me who is my all time favorite NBA player.

I think with the NBA it's often a "players league" and I am not ashamed to admit I bandwagon a lot. I just have a lot of fun with a few teams.

I also been a fan of Brad Stevens for a long time going back to his Butler days. LOVE me some Brad Stevens.

As for the game this week, Celtics got a day off and then the Lakers go to Boston. Should be a big one Wednesday. Lakers have been up and down and are quite young. But they have showed up a few times this year on the big stage. Lonzo Ball isn't scoring a lot at times but he is an excellent passer out there. Lopez and Ingram will be tough to guard.

It's funny too with Kyrie Irving that he is still only 25. It's actually kinda amazing that he has been through so much already at this age in the NBA.

Celtics are a pretty young team too outside of a few vets but not as young as the baby Lakers LOL.

I also used to hear a ton about how Kyrie was this gigantic ball hog but I am not seeing this with the Celtics this year. Kyrie has his moments where yes they want him to get the ball and especially late in games. But I swear Isaiah Thomas was more of a hero ball kinda guy with the Celtics even more so over what I seen from Kyrie so far.

Kyrie seems to really be sold on the Brad Stevens system way of doing things so far. In Cleveland I swear at times there is no real system. They just kinda every week stand around with their mouths open at Lebron James. So when Kyrie had a losing record in Cleveland without Lebron I thought too much was made of this. 

And don't get me wrong, I love Lebron. But he also did want Lue as the coach and Lue is terrible.

Peanut butter traps definitely work! I've used them before, put them on the glue traps and they'll get stuck on them. I never tried a snapping mouse trap, always afraid that I would accidentally injure myself with it. 

My old cat Spot would've killed it for you.  But at the cost of a very gruesome scene that could be disgusting to clean up. 

Male cats raised around other cats rarely ever become hunter/killer types, but the females do. Hate to say it, but most male cats literally are useless for situations like that (unless it's a male cat like Spot who was raised around dogs and thought he was one of them).Female cats tend to be more effective at killing stuff for some reason. 

Kansas played like a group of dead mice tonight.

This had to be a sign.....

Ugh. UGH.

I don't use glue traps.

I use the old fashioned types that snap shut (and yes it takes practice with those since they can snap so fast) or the new kinds that they walk in and it spins shut and I think it smashes their heads that way inside and then you never see it dead but then it says "caught" on it.

so I ordered both. yeah.

Well it should work, need to get the other one eventually.

Zappa singing about plastic people as vegetables lol

People are like vegetables though. So true. I mean Ameribots.

OMG I think I may need a good stiff drink tonight....

Yeah this is embarrassing for the Yankees and their fans. 16-1 

 the place emptied early.

But it's not over yet sadly. I mean the series.

The odds are with the Sox now big time though.

I'm definitely drinkin' the Kool Aid Jules! But only if it is colored BLUE!!! HA! HA!

Meijer makes a Mio-like additive that tastes like a blue Mister Misty...does that count?

Merci BrentMC11...Merci

Hey there Jules, 

Nice to hear from you. I hope your wedding plans are progressing smoothly without too much stress. You've got a legitimate excuse for falling behind in NBA & MLB scores etc. 

Jules hope you been doing well, you are in a win/win situation regarding the East. Looks like Celtics vs LeBron. We gave LeBron a huge scare, Game 5 was really the main difference in our series. Take care.

Idea for your wedding song 'You can call me queen bee and baby I'll RULE'

Yeah, best win of the season IMO. Warriors were even playing hard on D.

Warriors never get a good rep for D but they play nasty D when they try. 

Boston will be lethal if they can get more offense going but it's really not their thing this year, it's all defense and a few clutch plays in the 4th.

This game was GORGEOUS for fans of defense. Shooting was off though outside of KD and Jaylen Brown for most of the game.

I love these type of games because both teams were hustling playing their butts off. It was a fun game to watch. Great Defenses.

Wonder Woman was great. DC finally made a decent movie, and it's forced me to take back what I said and eat crow over Gal Gadot's acting in Batman vs Superman. She was very charming in Wonder Woman. I greatly enjoyed it too! 

My folks went to see Wonder Woman tonight since I told them they would like it. I know they will love it too.

OMG that film is sooooooooo cute.  I mean it just IS. So enchanting. 

I haven't seen Wonder Woman yet, but it does seem to have bridged that gap between widespread audience support in droves & critical acclaim by professional film reviewers. I'll see it eventually, but I gotta see War For The Planet Of The Apes first. I have a profound appreciation for actor Andy Serkis ever since his landmark portrayal of Gollum in the LOTR trilogy & now his moving depiction of the Primate Caesar. 

Anyway, I'm glad to hear that both Jules & Bogie enjoyed Wonder Woman. You 2 have a knack for knowing quality material over over bloated trash so, I trust your judgement in the long run. 

A hope your day is over the moon Bogie! 

Thanks, you're an hour early. You managed to beat everyone else. 

I hope this isn't a birthday present but I got up from a nap and seen the Saints cut Keenan Lewis.  That's a pretty big shocker, he was our best corner the past 2 seasons. 

Happy Birthday!,hope you had a great day/

IDK what's going on here but it's got to be more than Andrew

It is for sure more then Andrew and I don't think he is healthy either.

Know Jules, that I will always support Luck regardless of his problems. I love the kid, you have been right for 4 years straight about him.

RIP Jack Bruce. Lost one of the best bassists yesterday.

Cream!

Major bummer man. I'm depressed now. Gotta jam out to some Cream tunes this weekend now. Quality bassists never get enough respect IMO. Right Cs4?

no kidding. happy and sad

I really don't wanna see cold temperatures & snow quite yet given the winter I just endured this past year, but with September comes Colts football so as far as trade offs go, SW1 will take it. Please Bradshaw stay healthy & be productive for us this season. Knocking on my wooden desk right now for good luck & a great blue horseshoe year as well as all my friends on here who support other teams too.

Agree with both of you. And southwest, Bradshaw is on the top of my list too to hopefully stay healthy since I feel we really need him based on what we saw last season with him.

Does that mean we won't see you for a while ?

Maybe...starting some traveling next weekend so if I MIA for a while it's due to that.

Safe travels Jules. Be sure to take pictures & file a detailed report. SW1 expects to be briefed when you get back. Only teasing. Have fun.

and think Luck and Hilton are just going to get better...that sound you just heard was the 31 other DCs in the NFL crying.

Im liking Da Rick a lot too!

Given the hole INDY just dug itself out of Jules, neither Peyton Manning nor Tom Brady should feel overjoyed to go up against us right now.

Now, all Bears fans make fun of their LBs wrapping for Christmas . Merry Christmas to all!!!

Merry Christmas Jules!

Merry Christmas, Jules!

I don't want to face them in the playoffs. I'm rooting for the Ravens to beat the Patriots so we can move up a seed.

Oh I know me too but if we can't get the second I am fine with 4!!!

I'm fine if we get third seed and not second.

people acting like we are the houston texans

Amen to your positivity!

Anything can happen when you get to the Playoffs dance...Strange things always happen in the Playoffs, the ball bounces funny, & it's a brand new rebooted season. Strap your self in INDY...

I don't have "Greta Garbo stand off sighs" Jules. Would a Groucho Marx moustache & pair of eyebrows suffice?

Hey why not. Whatever we got, wear it with style and attitude!

Well said Jules. Self confidence means everything not what other people see in us, but how we perceive ourselves.

very sad to lose a national treasure... Velvet Underground changed the world of music.

Amen. I became a huge fan of the VU many years ago and was actually listening to them a lot this past week again.

Have a perfect day Lou & a nice trip to the other side man

Tom Crean won last night.....one Harbaugh has to lose....

Agreed and may that best team be the Ravens! Papa Harbaugh can spend a lot of time with Jim afterwards. ha, ha!

I am hoping Ravens too 1788...but I don't have any stake in it

ditto!

Exactly to go from 2-14 to 11-5 is a remarkable achievement! Nothing to be ashamed of at all. Great Season Colts! Be Loud & Proud Baby

Ride on!

I agree..and some people are like 7-Up...Never had it..never will...

I remember that commercial CF4L!!!

"Under The Radar" & be overlooked is a very fun place to be. Remember the 2001 NE Patriots vs the heavily favored Rams in the SB that year? I like the Blue Horseshoe being underestimated. The Ravens are not invincible to me. Not by a long shot.
