I really didn't pay much attention to the Scheffler incident(with MLB games and the Preakness going on) except that he was going to work and followed PGA instructions in a marked car like he was supposed to and then something went wrong.
I don't know if this was the case but over zealous cops sounds like "Par for the Course".

I didn't vote 'cause it's still a bit early for my prediction.
I wasn't crazy about the off-season not acquiring new talent to a team that is running it back with the same players that missed the playoffs with a favorable schedule.
This years schedule seems tougher but the roster with the top two draft picks, AR5 hopefully stays healthy AND JT at the beginning of season is reason to be optimistic of hopefully improving on the win total and more importantly making the playoffs.
So for now I'll wait and see how training camp goes before evaluating the upcoming season with a win total......... But despite the lack of signing FA's to bolster the roster I'm thinking it's not going out on the limb to think this year it could be the colts turn to shine in the AFC south?
'24 ???
'23 Texans
'22 Jags
'21 Titans

Well, if someone criticized the Draft, he'd be reminded that it takes something like "17 years" or so to accurately evaluate a draft. So I guess the opposite is also true to those that liked the draft.....
But my 2¢ is that I think that Latu and Mitchell(after some YouTube watching) have high ceilings at premium positions so I liked the Draft and giving it a
, for what its worth.

Ballard has flipped his philosophy 180 degrees. It’s a good thing.
Yeah it is after 7 years of mostly failing. Not many get a 8th year of underachieving after the previous 7 BUT HOPEFULLY for Colt Fans 8 will be the charm.
I like the first 2 picks so far.

I haven't paid much attention to the draft and looking OR making mocks 'cause with Ballard you usually will be disappointed...... like most on this Forum are tonight. Lol
But I wasn't surprised by a defensive linemen being picked. I didn't think he would go CB or trade up for a elite receiver or Bowers would fall to 15. And honestly I know noting about Latu except a few highlights I seen switching from the draft and Yankee game.
I liked the highlights but not crazy about the conference he played in and his medical history.
I was hoping for Bowers but not surprised he's not a colt especially when Denver chose the last QB and the raiders were right behind them. I heard the raiders liked Bowers and with no QB left to possibly sway them I had a feeling they would grab him. We all know it was unlikely Ballard would trade up for him(even if he had him high on his board?)
Kudos for the bears getting a great prospect, I hope they don't mess him up. And to the Patriots for getting imo the second best QB. The Falcons getting Pence for life after Cousins(which may be sooner than later) I think was a good move.

We can only guess at this time on what will happen BUT why would the networks & advertisers be against the chiefs 3 peating?

Yeah it's criminal we broke him.
He could've potentially still been our QB today...
No body broke him.....except himself.
He didn't play safe or have the mental drive and toughness to be a true Franchise QB.

Maybe the best individual scout is RAS.......Ballard loves him.

Nice to see.
What a contrast to Luck being so secretive and the type of football he was throwing rehabbing.

Maybe we could merge this with the thread "Peyton Manning Throws a Football Off A Skyscraper" and title it "AR to Throw Manning Off a Skyscraper". That would really make the news!
Yes but not until AR5's shoulder fully heals.

Since I can't give you a laugh, you get a like and this response.
I think taking away the sad and confused emojis is a good thing. Too many got carried away with posters they didn't like.
But I like to make jokes sometimes and not getting a laugh emoji will now put a dampner on my wannabe Fantasy Standup Comic career.

Well...you said the Colts would win 4 games this past season and they won 9 and almost won the division so you were only 5 wins off.
I said 10 wins ,so I was 1 off.
My early prediction is 10 wins again...I may up that total depending on what we do in free agency and the draft.
Nice prediction last season. My prediction last season which I like very much repeating, and repeating, Lol, was the Colts and Texans would both contend for the Division with about 9 wins.
.....not bad Haha .....
So far for 2024 I haven't made any predictions, but the lack of adding FA talent(which we never do) and the Texans having a good off season kinda raises a red flag. But nothing really different this off season than most others.
I'll see how the draft goes and if ballard drafts that TE from Ohio St. or a Uber talented WR for AR5 then that should make me more optimistic about '24.

I’m not taking issue with your points, which are well made. I just think Ballard’s timeline may not be tied to AR’s performance alone. Because the kid needs more talent around him. And if that talent shows itself to be as insufficient as I think it currently is, you’ve got to have issues with the guy choosing that talent.
I do hope that (1) the current crop of youngsters gets dramatically better, and (2) that this draft is a game changer. I’m just not very confident about either one.
Hope I’m wrong.
I doubt this draft will be a game changer.....as in adding several high impact players that will contribute at a high level immediately.
I do think that AR5 will be a elite QB and be similar if not better than Josh Allen type.
But I don't have confidence that AR5 will have the supporting cast to make this franchise a legitimate SB threat year after year. I fear he may have to carry this team on his back and lack the players and coaches that the upper tier teams have and he will be going up against.
Of course we can always hope its our turn to win, but if AR5 will be as good as I think he should be, our turn should be a regular occurrence with the proper support.

The NFL is a multi multi BILLION dollar business. The league has EVERYTHING to lose and NOTHING to gain by fixing games. And all it would take is one former league executive to confess. Just one, and the league’s credibility would implode. And yet it hasn’t happened.
The opinion of a guy like Bubba Smith is worthless because he offers no proof, just an opinion. And it doesn’t help his cause that the next year heavily favored Minnesota lost to KC. And no one from the Vikings says they lost because the game was fixed for KC. They accept that they got outplayed. So Smith just looks like a sore loser.
The idea that the NFL is somehow equal to WWE is beyond silly. One is theater, sold as entertainment. The other is a game with top athletes and coaches who are as competitive as anyone on the face of the earth.
There’s no upside to fixing games, only downside.
I really don't want to beat a dead horse and tired of the same ole same ole. But there have been plenty of people talking besides bubba smith.
Like the CB from the Bucs (Smith) who was SB MVP and said they knew the plays before the snaps which is why he had like 2 interceptions according to him......The HC's from the Brownies & Dolphins that admitted they were paid/offered $$$ to lose..... ex players and SB participants and HOF's like Jerry Rice, Marshall Faulk, QB Warner etc.... etc....etc..... Not to mention numerous books written on the subject. Even you spun a "conspiracy" theory on the colts last year(but you was wrong lol)
Some choose to believe, some question what they see and some don't see or play naive to it.
Regardless to what group a person is in , it should be viewed as Entertainment to those that still watch and many of them gamble on it and try to guess the script and profit on it..
No reason to get all defensive about something that you don't have anything to do with and that more and more people are steadily increasing the opposite opinion that you are "saying you have".
So lets drop it ok and agree to have different opinions.

I'm sure the losing is miserable but don't feel bad for him, he is in a better part of the country with lots of money.
Lots of money is good......especially when your at the grocery store.

Yankees took a loss the other night. I had a feeling we wouldn't go UNDEFEATED this season.... Its better our streak ended in April to avoid the pressure of staying undefeated during the season. Lol
Actually, several Yankee bats are cold. Judge started cold but did get a HR and a double in last game. Stanton, Rizzo, Torres, Verdugo all not in a groove yet. Soto, Volape, and Oswaldo Cabrera carried the Yankees the first week along with the help of Astros errors and shaky bullpen.
Can't expect Cabrera to do it most of season so some cold Yankee bats need to heat up. I think Volape will build on his rookie campaign and be a solid player in '24.
I liked what I seen from SP Gil......consistently upper 90's and touched 100 mph once.

“you think the season isn’t scripted like so many do now…”Define “so many do now”. Who are these people and how many of them are there?
51.976 % .......Lol
Its a lot that believe, exact number I have no idea. But not just on internet but many float their ideas wherever/whenever people talk sports.
I think some books like authors Brian Tougy and what fans have seen in recent years watching has opened their eyes or at least has them watching from a different perspective than before.
Regardless, its still entertainment for many, like WWE, and something to try to enjoy and not take so serious regardless of someones belief or suspicion.......like a movie or tv show on HBO.

What I would like to know is, some folks like yourself think the league is rigged. How can Ballard succeed in your opinion if they aren't the chosen team to win? How can you claim the league is rigged and then complain that the GM is failing? Quite the conundrum
That's could very well be true and Ballard may not be totally the blame. However, since you think the season isn't scripted like so many do now AND everything is legit, what's your reasoning on being a Ballard supporter amid his 8 seasons of failing???
How do you support losing for so long?

the prior general manager wrecking a generational qb. The success rate of the majority of GM’s. The wins this franchise has had with mediocre qb play, and a different qb for every single season opener of Ballard’s career. I just want to see what his teams look like with above average, and most important stable, qb play. I want to see 2 seasons of what his qb can do. I’m betting we get it too.Well, since he's the one responsible for the roster, its on him having a different opener at QB every season.

You really want to form an opinion about anything based on the comment section?!? The comment section?!?!?
I sure hope not.
So you don't think people's comments who are fans of a certain team matter??? The ones who watch every Sunday for years and years???
....but my opinion on Ballard isn't based on other fans comments, it based on his lack of success going on 8 seasons and him still operating same as before. And I will say that the fans leaving the negative comments are basing their opinion of him with the same criteria as me.
What I'd like to know is the fans that have a favorable opinion of Ballard is "what are they basing their favorable opinion on???? .....certainly not a sub .500 record with only one playoff win and zero division titles in what has been a weak division.

Not much coverage on colts for out of market fans like me......so I mosey along YouTube for news. Some guys on there that belong more on amateur hour, lol, so Kent Sterling seems the better of the bunch.
Anyway, if you view his content and click on the comments Ballard really gets bashed by the vast majority of colt fans leaving comments. Maybe his supporters don't view or comment as much BUT most rhat do seem want him fired and expect that this will most likely be his last season.

With still few games in college compared to Caleb Williams resume I would think definitely behind him. I think Drake Maybe would be ahead of him too.
So I would say 3rd because of my lack of knowledge on the QB from LSU....???

At least he can’t make a worse pick than Banogu, I guess.
I hope…
Maybe the 5th time is the charm.

Bruce Willis is cool.
Liked the show Moonlighting with his co-star Cybill Shepard & the Fifth Element with Mila Jovovich and Gary Oldman.
Those were way too long ago for my liking.
