Gramz

Some just do not appreciate our team. It is too bad that some people are like that. Negativity is really bad IMO. As they throw Adam and JB under a bus and we are 5-2. The way some people post in here you would think we were 2-5. To me this has been a real fun year. I love our QB, Kicker, Coach, O.Line, and even think our Defense is good for a change.

Never Pats! Especially after the A.B. situation. Something sneaky going on there IMO. 

So, you're not fond of the Steelers eh? Is it those God awful throwback bumble bee uniforms? They are not my cup of tea either. Hope all is well Gramz. 

I am late to the party but I can't stand either team. Reasons are obvious. The Steelers and Pats both seem to always have the REFS in their back pocket in big games. The Colts would probably have 3 or 4 more SB wins if it wasn't for those two teams. 1995, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2014 all stick out as seasons that we got eliminated by either the Steelers or Pats in the playoffs.

Nice! Hope he is well. Is he still a Mets fan?

Tell him that from one Mets fan to another "LGM". (Stands for "Let's Go Mets")

Bet that was quite a surprise foe you.   Guess some of us long time members don't get heard from very often. lol

I hope MAC is doing alright. Nice fella. Glad to hear he touched base with ya Gramz.

Thanks for the heads up. I hope you had a nice time catching up. Sweet. 

Something needs to be done about the officiating.  It was a real joke this season.

The officiating is a joke. It is ruining football. Many are questioning the integrity of the game because of awful calls and non-calls. 

You mean you watch SB game but I watch the commercials! 

At least it keeps you busy.

It's an art I have not mastered yet but I am learning how to avoid most of them. Sometimes I have to speak up and put them in their place though 

Ditto 

You both have Brown, that is excellent. I am stuck with Hopkins LOL, Hopkins Is great though but he isn't Brown.

I play daily fantasy football, (fanduel) and always have Antonio Brown on my teams. I've found that one can't be sentimental with players or teams. The main thing is to win and get points. Sometimes you just have to give in and draft players from teams you don't like. 

Good luck to all my friends as they engage in fantasy football selections this year. I hope you all win some serious money or bragging rights along the way.

BTW, regarding my recent frustrations about Josh McDaniels decision not to take the job in INDY, it has absolutely no bearing on my respect & admiration for you Yehoodi as a very intelligent & informed poster on the forum.

You're a standup guy Yehoodi. Along with GoPats, Flying Elvis, Dynasty13, IWF; JJ, Jim Jaime, etc. etc. I'm not directing my anger over what happened toward any of you directly. 

The wounds were still fresh & I'm slowly recovering. LOL! Thanks for letting me clear the air. 

I hear yah, the Josh exit must of been tough, but it looks like you guys have a coach and it did not take too long to get a replacement.   To be honest, Josh has always been on the fence about becoming a head coach, my sense was after the SB 52 loss, and perhaps having time to think about *, the Pats brass did not want to see them loose both coordinators.   Given Josh's inherent hesitation, things just changed. 

Thanks for understanding. I'm happy with our new HC in Frank Reich so, it all worked out in the end. 

You might be right about that. Perhaps, Josh is better suited to be an OC just like Wade Phillips has mentioned in the past he's a much better DC than a HC overall. 

No one is doubting Josh McDaniels brilliant offensive mind. I'm not anyway. I just wish he would have let the Colts know his true feelings sooner & more professionally then he did. 

I get why Robert wanted to retain him. Makes perfect sense to keep Brady & Josh together while BB gets pass rushers in the draft. 

You weren't the only one Gramz. I believe I speak for all INDY fans when I leave these final words about Mr. McDaniels. 

"Nah, nah, nah. Hey, hey; goodbye."

Nah! Nah! & a HeHe!!

I missed it but loved the outcome!

Hey @bababooey I was just thinking about you earlier today.  Send me a message when you have the chance. I would love to catch up with you and see how you two are doing!

Sorry I Haven’t been around Gramz, we will catch up this week. In the meantime wanted to wish you guys Merry Christmas!

Thank you. I am okay but It is scary. 

Yes. Pm me

OK I will try in a little bit again it wouldn't let me pm last time i tried?

you that is.

So nice to Finlay meet @100GFB today.  Love being able to meet fellow Colts fans.

Watched the video, turned it on at 3:45 so I caught Peyton and the statue. Amazing. Can not wait to see it in person

It was actually a bit humorous now that I think of it...   Here we are at a Bengals/Broncos game, and I bring my Peyton Manning COLTS quilt.     The Security Guard looked up at me and said, "That's cool, but Peyton is the only one here that will care about it".  My response was  "Peyton is the only one that matters"     Got a laugh out of the Security Dude.

When I met PM I was dumbfounded, star struck with my jaws down to my knees!  My friend had to do all the talking, he had to ask if PM if we could take a picture, also told me to stand next to him and even had to say thank you for me.  I guess I really looked dumb!

cool that you got a picture @100GFB

The thing I always try to remember is that anger is a secondary emotion.  Once that clears, you can figure out how to deal with things.  Endless anger is not productive

I have been out of the loop on most news for the last week and a half while I’m Hawaii, it’s actually very nice. 

So glad you two are having a good time.  And being removed from the "news" is a bonus.   Looking forward to connecting with the two of you again and hearing all about your trip.

For old Uncle Mark you should sing Sweet Caroline DADADA . I love Stevie Nicks by the way, great choice.

Stevie is the best. Nobody sings like she does. Her songs are very emphatic & empowering. Excellent inspirational choice Gramz. 

I wish I could

Very slow in the summer for me so have been spending most of my team on Yankees and Rangers forums but checking in here every now and then, hence my thread to talk about memorabilia.

Good to see you again. Your daily presence was missed. Hope you're well. I have the day off tomorrow.

I am battling football withdrawal. Looking forward to training camp and the start of the season. 

@NFLfan  thanks.   We've been really busy with our music, and after this weekend we'll have 7 weeks off...     As much as I love singing,  I love our downtime equally.      I'm looking forward to the season starting, and we've already got tickets to 2 games.   Poor planning on one of those, because we have a singing job on the evening before, but I am not missing the game where they retire Peyton's jersey...       That will be a busy weekend for us.    How are you...???

omgoodness.    God Bless you.  I am glad you are okay.

Take care cc1!

Whoa there CC1. Sorry to hear about your recent stroke & corresponding recovery time in the hospital my friend. I miss you around here dude. Just get better though & I'm glad to hear that you are still around & going strong buddy. 

Good advice. Being warm & fuzzy takes a special skill. Only kidding! I do try to be reasonable & approachable as often as possible. Some days are better than others. The struggle to be decent & kind marches on right? 

Now you be you and I'll be me.  That's the way it was meant to be!

Stone cold ....revenge is a dish best served cold...

Easier said then done, but yeah, you're right Gramz, anger & frustration only hurts the person who can't let stuff go. 

So, does this mean if somebody really irritates me unload at home in private then? Just joking!
