I've been better. I have worked out 4 days in a row in the pool even though I need back surgery by the beginning of fall. My new doctor is cutting meds instead of increasing them. Pain 7 out of 10 when not 10 out of 10. Pain sucks. I can handle it. Thanks for asking. I did say on my friend Kent Sterling's Sports show that I had never seen so many last second game winners in my entire life as in the Pacers and Toronto series. That does put him in my Top 5 or higher. You mention winning 'mentally.' I have seen Magic, Bird, and Jordan do it sooooo many times. I think there are several players who are better in the hypothetical Top 10 mentally better or stronger than Lebron. One of them wore the number 31 for Indiana. (Pacers) Again...my opinion. BTW, I watched almost every Pacers game this past year. I finally got to one game.....had to leave early....zero stamina at the time. Love those Pacers.

Instead of dogging the guy on a bad game...why not praise the Celtics and Morris and Stevens for doing an incredible job of defending him and game planning for him. That was text book awesome performance. I marvel more of how well they defended him more then trying to take away from Lebrons greatness. To me that diminishes the Celtics Game 1 performance. The whole Cavs team played awful outside perhaps Tristen Thompson....that was a masterful Celtics performance there. Let's recognize that. I totally agree with this more than anything. The Celtics were ready to play. The Cavs....not so much. The Celts made JR Smith look stupid several times, and Kevin Love got skilled all evening long.

You must have forgotten about me Jay Kirk and I have called him out since his Miami days. I lost further respect for him when he said that Brad Stevens' coaching is overrated. Maybe that is why Big Al Horford is kicking some Cavalier BUTT this entire series......IMO!!

Smonroe said 302....that's a little better Someone can correct me, but I don't think there an OT in the NFL 280 or under. I bet he is quick on his feet without seeing film on him.

He is 6' 7" and listed as 280 unless he has put on more weight since the article I was reading. I would love for a D-2 kid to get his shot. I think I tend to get excited about any OL addition. Machorro needs to beef up a bit.

Just like us Lolly! HA! When I am not on all of these extended vacations I need to really hold my thoughts on this team until I get a chance to see them on the field. I think I am as worried about the coaching as I am about Luck's health and new talent/lack of on the team. If I am not familiar with a couple of the guys....it is a strange choice. I hope these coaches are hidden gems...I really do.

WOW! He's a doctor now?

And same with Lebron. Bogie set the tone for Game 6 with a take down. Same mentality today! I am ready to turn on pregame.

Open shots off of the break. Kick it out to Bogie on the left top or left corner. He needs to get to the foul line too or get a lay up to get him going. Same with Vic. Those here who know me also know I like that punch him when he's down and keep him down philosophy....this is game 7. we have plenty of fouls to give even if we have to bring big Al and Leaf. I want a 1980's Game!! Who's with me. Go Pacers. You guys are the better TEAM!!!!! Bmc

Tegray Scales had an off-year. He would have been drafted last year. Cobbs is not afraid of going over the middle and getting hit. Good call on Wadley. Agree. ####Edit.....Tennessee plucked him

Jerry Jones hosts pajama party for NFL owners?

That and just throwing away Keenum. Who did they get? Cousins? (Bridgewater please) Thank you. I don't know if I am in the new baseball thread. I love that it is getting going. Radiogirl got promoted in her job and barely has time to change clothes. She is well. I have gone through the mill for just over a year. Long story. Bad year and a half. Thanks again.

I have 3 out of four of my final 4 still left, but it is not in the pool I am in. HAHA!

Thank you. I appreciate You saying that. Weird not being a 'fixture' on here. Game is 1210 on CBS. I am hoping that the NCAA approves the brace Haas used in practice yesterday.

This draft has a lot of good centers that can also play guard or started out as a guard. We need interior Maulers and I would not put it past Ballard, however to draft Nelson at 6.(Pure guard) This trade has me excited about protecting Luck and building the defense. I personally love the 3-4, but am anxious to see how we play the 4-3. If it is an aggressive D with press coverage and new speed we can keep the offense on the field. Excited to see the draft and continued Free agency. Bmc

Purdue and Butler. I have not looked when it is. I believe IUPUI won a game when George Hill played for them. Big trade with Colts. I am dreading some of the reactions on that one if I am on here. Vikings sure were fun

Yeah....Colts were one of the reasons I stayed away from the forum. I know I was on here before the season saying how hard this pacer team would play and I was for the trade. I love it a whole lot more after the grit last night. Booker looking like the Big that we needed. Really nice signing.

I had season tickets in 2005. That team was touch as nails and so was Detroit. I remember after the suspensions seeing Freddy Jones as our star guard

With you on all of this, my man. I love prove it deals and contracts given to players that really did not get a chance. Someone with a 'chip on their' shoulder. I think Melvin thinks the world about himself. I think he wants too much money. He should consider who really gave him a real chance. I think Desir did well too and should be given a shot. My first time on here in awhile but I am not thrilled going back to the 4-3 defense.....and I want Chubb all day long over a running back. Enjoy the FA Frenzy. The insiders have made it into a joke.

Thank you! I really appreciate The kind words. Not a fun journey for sure.

'Insiders' Fake news? HA!

Agreed..with Smonroe. Absolutely. Why insult? It was a perfect example. you can go 2-12 with a RB and you can go the same with the top Edge prospect we have seen in awhile. I take Chubb myself, but there are good reasons to take Barkley can do it all....and return kicks. (No please NOOOO )

Holder is not a football guy. It appears he wastes a lot of dollars just to go to NE and slam down Lobster and drink with his fellow journalists. I think he used a cheat sheet.....

Hey Buck....I have been on the IR for about a year. I missed all of the great people on the Colts Forum. I was physically and mentally unable to remember things or debate. I will hopefully be back. I had heart surgery 3 days ago. I was not getting enough O2 to my brain. I also had a severe wound from passing out while in afib. Mental is back....3 months for the IR to end. See I still rumble and bumble a little. (I hate the Patriots and the Jags. HAHA!)

It is a crying shame. He is so overlooked to be in my opinion a top 5 guard in the league. Spot on!!
