      SW: It is actually frustrating just how strong Nick is. He knows he can hit it a mile. Getting him to cut down his swing..hard at 10. We will get there.

      100GFB: Love it: Willie Keeler.

      alawai

      It's all about contact. Like you said he may be trying too hard during or swinging too hard during games and some may have the tendency to close their eyes when swinging/trying too hard.

  2. We have not been on much lately, but I know two special veterans that we are proud to call our friends here.  

     

    @100GFB and @Jay Kirk  we are thankful for your service and friendship as well as any other military personnel on the Colts Forum. Past and Present

  4. Big night here in Colts land: Kids making pizza while Big Daddy watches. It will be so much fun. They have ordered their toppings. I need to run to the store. What is YOUR favorite pizza?

      Pineapple and ham my favorite

    3. BrentMc11

      BrentMc11

      The pizza was awesome....I may need to try pineapple again...especially if my friends like it so much...:)

    4. southwest1

      southwest1

      The pineapple offsets the meat & cheese & it gives your taste buds something sweet to munch like a salty & sweet pretzel etc. etc.

  5. Tough decision coming pretty soon on my lovable avatar. My big mean German Shepherd Que has seen better days. What an awesome friend for 16 years.

      The tough choice if often the right decision in this case. So sorry, I hate the thought of having to put my dogs down someday. No man should have to lose his best friend.

      Awww...that's tough!

  6. Make a Wish: I posted a thread and status update last week about the Make a Wish Foundation teaming with The Smiley Morning Show to make sick/terminally ill children's dreams come true. The goal: $350,000. The result: $528,000. If anyone contributed from my posts I am very very happy! Thank you!

      Thank you MIColtsFan!! Jessie and Katie's classmates listened to them on air...they were funny, and so was Smiley the DJ. They said they saved their tooth fairy money....he said you must have lost a lot of teeth....:)

      Jessie & Katie seem like caring & well adjusted kids. Both Denene & you had something to do with that Brent. Please take a bow. And yes that DJ was very funny. :D

  7. I saw this written as a prayer in the Indianapolis Star. To not be religious I have taken out some important words. I feel it applies to all of us here on the forum.....other than maybe the 'loving' part :)Help us today to be mindful of what we say, write and post. Help our words today to be truthful, edifying and loving."

      Thanks SW! We had a great time! Brent was Mr. Analyzer yesterday! Fun hearing his take on things. I'm learning a lot about football from him; particularly our great team!

      Thanks for volunteering your services for others Brent that was very nice & noble of you. Hey HCF, maybe you & Brent can work on Project 2 together. 2 heads are better than 1 right? Team work as the old saying goes. I'd even be willing to throw my hat into the ring for contribution purposes too. Why not? Sounds A okay to me man. :)

      Thank you so much Brent, Jay Kirk, MCF, all my forum friends, & that includes all the moderates too, who are all stylish & cool in their own right. It's nice to know that my contributions get noticed & that my opinions are valued. I try to make other bloggers on this site feel welcome & I respect & stand up for all my friends. In keeping with my sarcastic tendencies. Here Ya go...

      "super size the likes for my buddy SW1! " haha! That's reminds me of an extra helping of steaming, hot McDonald's french fries. Clever reply there MCF! :D By the way, to all my friends, the check is in the mail & I told the jolly fat guy in the red suit to be give you all an extra special, christmas stocking stuff this Dec. 25, 2013 too! I bailed Santa out of a jam in New Mexico a few years back. He owes a favor or 2. :)

  14. Radiogirl is off until Monday! Heading for the farm for sun and garden work...maybe some fireworks. I want to thank everyone on here for the fun I have here every day! Enjoy your 4th of July Colts Nation! :)

      That's the problem with extended holiday weekend just when you get used to the time off & put your feet up the darn things ends. LOL! Anyway, I hope that you & your family had an awesome time doing next to nothing except relaxing. That goes for all my Colts family on here too BTW. :)

  15. A fantastic weekend at the farm and Jackson County Fair with radiogirl and the family!! For Hoosiers, I do not think you can beat this fair as far as county fairs go! Even the old LB rode some rides :)

      Don't get on those fast spinning tea cups though Brent. Hurling on 1 of those makes you feel like a baby that must turn in their man card forever. Only teasing brother! :D

      Exactly Brent, there are plenty of other ways to make my head spin. Ha! Ha! I am glad that you, your wife, & your kids had fun at the Jackson County Fair. :)

      The ability to S-T-O-P is never fully appreciated too until you can no longer literally do it. Speed, weight, & momentum are never a good trifecta of dilemmas either for that matter as well. Stay safe & intact buddy. :)

      Yes, I suppose that we could all use a nice influx of cash I guess Brent. No argument there.

  21. Shock in the IndyCar series.. Justin Wilson passed away from major head injuries in a race at Pocono Speedway. He was only 37. He was a super guy and a wonderful Road Racer. RIP Justin.

      He also was an organ donor and that six people are saved by him. Really sad as he left behind a wife and two children.

      My deepest sympathies to the loved ones that Mr. Wilson left behind.

      BrentMc11

      I am starting to get used to this a little bit more.  If you want to follow me, go to my page and hit the old follow me button....now about that helmet!!! :)  

    3. southwest1

      southwest1

      Congrats 100GFB on the leather helmet discovery BTW. But where's the magic, mystery, & surprize of opening that present on Christmas morning though? If you play football with Lucy from the Peanuts, be warned: She likes to remove the ball just before you kick the field goal man.

      Just looking out for my homie man. haha

  23. Beautiful Snow in Southern Indiana....ready for the drive back north....back to reality...What a weekend with my wife! I love you Denene!! OK...I AM watching the Super Bowl.....just sayin...:)
