The teams that go for it don't seem to have problems acquiring talent. The teams that don't go for it supply the teams that do go for it with talent.

Colin Cowherd said there are rumors he's already expressed he doesn't like the bears and cards organizations. Cowherd said he might pull a Elway/Eli. He's already a Super Star and practically a sure shot to transform any organization (though the bears/cards would be a true challenge) according to many. I doubt the NFL would want him going to just any team. This could be similar to what Elway did to the colts. There are some enviable teams that may not finish far from making a trade for him very doable.....broncos, pats, rams if Stafford get injured, Steelers?? I hope he lands in the nfc.... Bold prediction made with a lead pencil: Caleb Williams and AR5 will have a 1-2 rivalry similar to Peyton/Brady.....Elway/Marino/Kelly. Unitas & Bert Jones didn't have any QB rivalries because they were clearly the best in their prime.

My brother was rooting for the cubs and can't stand the marlins..he was mad they scored A run and wished they got shut out lol. I haven't seen my Yankees yet.....how many byes did we get??? Your GIF of the guy deep sea fishing reminded me of me getting a off shore slow pitch jigging rod even though I don't have a boat to go deep sea fishing.I'm sick... I'm A Tackle-holic and had to have it....I just had to get one. I use it for bass fishing, I love it.. Maybe one day I'll use it for what it was meant for and catch a big red snapper or tuna. For now it's a freshwater bass rod. Haha

There's A small tournament near me in Delray and doesn't draw any top players. Sometimes Isner comes. ..... I would like to try to Block his serve back......assuming I could.see it.

I haven't seem that much of him but seen him beat Dokie at Wimbledon. I don't think I seen anyone cover the court and make shots like he did. It was amazing Dokie took him to 5 sets and lost only by one break.

We started with lacrosse balls playing behind shopping centers. My cousin and I progressed to amateur courts in miami(tjere were none in palm beach) and we joined a amateur class in Ft. Pierce which was a real Jai-alai frontons with of course the rock hard pelota....that was dangerous because we were front courters and had to hope the back counters were good.enough not to accidentally throw at us lol. We fortunately survived getting hit but a couple times we had to call 911 for lesser players getting injured. The better we got the better the players we played with which became safer.....except they threw harder and the pelota's velocity increased. I was a pretty good amateur player and my cuz made pro when the Jai-alai dates increased and they needed twice the number of players. Yes, its a Dangerous sport. The pelota is rock hard and some of those pro's can sling it 140-150 mph. Ironically my cousin's career ended not by playing Jai-alai but breaking his leg riding a Ninja motorcycle. Those were fun days and now I have to be pleased catching a 2 pound bass.

Florida, including west palm beach had jai-alai frontons. One day my aunt Rose brought some cestas home and her son and me started playing with a lacrosse ball behind shopping center walls. We were awful.at the beginning but we quickly got better and better and started going to Miami to amateur jai-alai courts. Then we started playing the real jai-alai courts when they were closed. My cousin and I were close in talent but he was just slightly better, especially at scooping. And I started concentrated on other stuff like business etc...while his dream was to be a professional jai-alai player and started playing/practicing more than me. When Jai-alai dates became year round the frontons needed more players for Florida and up east. So he made it as a pro and played a couple seasons before he broke his leg in a motorcycle accident. Playing Jai-alai was my all time favorite sport, not the most lucrative paying sport but playing on a court and catching a rock hard pelota at 140 mph is so exhilarating and awesome.....and dangerous LoL. I wouldn't trade my experience playing amateur(I won 2 amateur tournaments and my cuz finished 2nd to me) for nothing and neither would my cuz. He played at Palm beach, Daytona and Mexico. I heard going down a hill on skis is a great feeling too.

I've always played sports my whole life, including Jai-Alai, but I know skiing is not something I would be able to do. Props to you.

I needed a 3rd person to be part of the triplets so Pittman was the obvious choice by default LoL.

I'm not lucky(to get good hands) or good enough at poker. Last I checked we don't have blackjack or roulette, which would be my preferred games. Like you, I try to guess the conspiracy theory in the NFL and its a guessing game and sometimes it gets me and I miss on obvious wimners. But like you, I'm right more than wrong. But betting baseball is my expertise and my bread & butter. I like/love gambling less than people think. Its just that I was exposed to it at such a young age and really became good at it at a young age. My dad use to go at the dog track every night along with momma and his brothers and family. I started reading and handicapping the programs when I was in grade school and sent bets out with momma. I had a Dresser full of money when I was in the 5th grade. Lol My Dad was considered one of the top handicappers and people were always near him asking him "what's good"? I learned from him and read a lot about handicapping including a book by Jack Fink " The art of Handicapping" which helped a lot. My brother had handicapping articles published in "The Gambling Times" magazine! My dad also went into the business and owned greyhounds and a kennel. I was a like a veteran when I finally became old enough to sneak in at the track. In those days you needed to be 18 or 21 for admittance. I started when I was 15 lol. Sadly because of PITA, there is no more greyhound racing in Florida. The Palm Beach Kennel Club still operates with simulcast horse races and poker.

I really like it. The summers are hot and humid but the winter is great. In my early life I I thought about moving to California,. especially SF because of the cool temps. But because of various factors I didn't, especially leaving my mom so far away. Both states accommodated my interests like golf,tennis, beach, and fishing but Cali didn't have greyhound racing which I loved and successfully supple!melted my income with... But the beaches here are warmer than California so I really prefer that. We really enjoy going to the beach and fish the surf too. A lot of people, that can afford it, have condos here and some where else like up east and split their time here in winter and somewhere else in summer. The summers here aren't for everyone BUT the winter months are great, especially if its am alternative to very cold regions.

Agree 100%. How far is your casino from you? Hard Rock in Hollywood is about 50 miles from me and traffic really starts to get heavy once you near Delray/Boca and of course gets heavier the nearer you get to Ft. Lauderdale. I prefer roulette over the machines & poker but we don't have it here. Seminole Indians hopefully get the sports betting legalized and then ill probably go their more often unless our local track gets a piece of the pie. It would make things a lot better than betting overseas. Glad you and I have another thing in common. ....GAMBLING!!!

Well naturally the less you give player A the more you have to give player B etc.... But if a player is worth the money or even if the amount is somewhat in the ballpark its better to have him than not have him.. Teams that are trying to win and acquire talent usually find creative ways to manipulate the cap. In the Colts case, its actually more about affording less money being in a small market than the cap. But small market or not, Irsay always says its all about 'winning', and I'm pleasantly surprised he made this happen after earlier statements, and made the colts better and more fun to watch....at least theoretically. Today is a good day for not just colt fans, but AR5 and the rest of the offense.

Colts and leagues new Triplets: AR5, JT, Pittman........defenses can't stop them, they can only hope to slow them down!!!! With JT back and AR5's threat to run, this should help the receivers get more open.

Imo, too many fans worry about money that isn't theirs over acquiring/keeping talent and playmakers.

All 3 bands were excellent. Fleetwood Mac with Stevie Nicks sexy looks and voice. Pink Floyd. .....I named a racing greyhound ''Dark Sarcasm" from the song Brick in the Wall. Phil Collins made lots of good content but even if he didn't do anything else but In the Air Tonight he should be commended. The theme for Miami Vice with cars like Ferrari's, Jai-Alai and horse/greyhound racing, South Beach and Babes. Lol. I like pop music, less now than before because I've been in retro mode lately and Pop music isn't as great as before imo. . But I really like Dua Lipa.....Camilla Cabella... Rihanna & Maroon 5 aren't hot now but made some music I liked. And how good was Katy Perry and Lady Gaga? Swift and her music just doesn't appeal to me....just like the artist's I mentioned above may not appeal to others. Maybe Kelce is a swifty but I'm not.

Thursday Bears. 9. Washington 11* * not picking OT because game may be so.boring it may be called early, like after only 3 quarters... Rest later

I like all kinds of music and pop music too, but lately very little of today's pop and a lot of music from Decades past. In fact ive heard that people in 20s-30's are streaming a lot more music from the past than todays. As far as kelce's probable pretend girl friend, I have never been a fan of hers and felt she was a untalented phony fortunately to be picked by the powers that be to be their star. But now because of her sudden relevance to the NFL i have done some light research on her. I don't think much of her songs and their usually about failed relationships, even going back to when she was in high school. I didn't find her talented but did find people hating on her. So now with a little YouTube research I've gone to not thinking much of her to someone who doesn't like her music and think she is a more shallow phony than I thought before. I don't think it's a good look for the NFL or chiefs/Kelce fans. Most think its for publicity, but whether real or not who cares??? Football fans tune into to watch.football and all this hype is a turnoff to them. The NFL's credibility has been questioned by many and this hype is not helping.

I agree with you about the cover 2/3 concept. To me a defense is supposed to be aggressive. Of course there is a time and place for everything, including soft zone cover 2/3....but not when the opposing offense will win the game with a score.

The names and faces change through the years with colts coaches but the results don't.

It was confusing to me that Ballard was given the job of evaluating a WR when that is a position he values least AND a position he's failed at filling with playmakers.

Yesterday's game hurt. Not because the colts played lights out and got robbed....it hurt because the coaches were completely out coached on both sides of the ball and team was flat....similar to like the loss in Jax in '21 with playoffs at stake. But it hurt because despite not scoring until late in 3rd qtr., we had the win in our hands and went 3 and out with 2 mins left and the plays called was what AR does least best, pass from the pocket. No rollouts, no QB keepers, nothing imaginative.. And then in OT with the game on the line the Defense played just like they did in the first half....like soft margarine. It was a game that the coaches totally whiffed yet we still had a chance to steal the win late but the play calling and schemes blew it. As far as predictions I posted 8-81 and contending for division along with houston. And as you know me being more optimistic on colts than most others here is not a usual occurrence LoL. I just felt that AR would flash his abilities at times, soft schedule in a weak division and its our turn to have a decent season. Going forward, I hope JT plays like he did before and is not traded and both him, AR, and Pittman stay healthy.

Unfortunately, the coaches may be in toddler. phase.....at least when game is close.
