I remember watching "Little Bear" with my oldest nephew Josh when he was small. It was a good show & the artwork was clever & creative too.

he illustrated Little Bear.. among many other books, shows, etc, did some work for Sesame Street too

SW: I wish I remembered.....way too long ago. I forgot about Little Bear.

8-0 thrashing....WOOO HOOO!!!

my 14 year olds new team. It's unfortunate they would not let them play in the elite division, they made them play U16 2nd division because they are "too young". I think they should of let them play elite after seeing this first game. It wasn't as bad as the score sounds though, they actually had to work hard for the shut out, but their defense was lacking.

Very Impressive MCF!!! Your girls didn't just take their competition out behind the woodshed. They knocked the woodshed down too. Just Kidding!!! It sounds like a well earned and well fought victory indeed. Congratulations to their entire team!!!

100 sacks for Robert eh? Or on the verge of anyway cool.

And who said he could not rush the passer without Freeney?

yup, number 100 coming soon, can't wait to see it! love RM!

so glad we don't start school prior to labor day...best law they ever put on the books here! @Brent, good job, I bet that was fun, as long as you didn't have to help with anyones hair! my girls spent the weekend picking outfits and worrying about their lockers not fitting all their sports stuff, hope they were able to cram it in there!

No hair duty for me...HA HA! She would have looked like Que! SW....I missed out on kids for way too long! I will not screw it up!! Unless of course I burn breakfast...

I wish it was later here as well....so the pools would stay open longer...

I always chuckle when I hear kids fret over their looks & outfits on the first day of school like a first date or prom dance occasion or something. Of well, I guess we were all young once too I suppose right? I'm sure your girls will be just fine MCF. They'll find a way to make all their books, pens, & personal momentos to fit in their school lockers I'm sure.

LOL. I was not going to watch if the Pats made it, so I said. I would of probably given in to the lure of football.

Me too.....I am nuts

I'm with MCF & Brent on not being sold on the Falcons. Nothing against the players on that team or that city, but I have never believed that the "Dirty Birds" would fly all the way to the SB. Nice owner in Mr. Blank & a good QB in Ryan, but no I'm not buying into the Atlanta hype sorry.

Now, that's my kind of Alice in Wonderland dream MCF. Look for me at the tea table. I'm the cat with the hat. Or is that the cat in the hat? Or perhaps the cat with the disappearing hat? Hmmm....Sounds like a purrrrfect dream to me anyway. HA! HA!

Mid morning, mid 70's, very brezzy, no football, one neighbor is re-roofing his house, other lot has contruction going, yes there's noise, no football, no Coors Light but I have my chocolate banana cake that I baked last night!

@SW1, LOL.. Cat in the Hat and Mad Hatter would be a good combo...crazy!!! @100GFB 70's and breezy sounds so nice! you know it's going to be rough when it's 78 at 7a.m., temp climbing, another scorcher, I can't keep my landscaping alive, it's a bummer, need rain badly...back to day dreaming of fall weather!

No question MCF, T.Y. is 1 tough NFL hombre that's for sure!

pretty sure it's a law if you take the last of it, you have to make more, not leave the pot on burning the bottom... ?????

Never have that problem with my Keurig coffee maker and every cup is deliciously fresh.

Not a big coffee drinker MCF. But, I wish you luck in your search for caffeine.

Blackhawks fan here

At least the Tri-State has the Evansville Icemen and the ECHL

Redwings fan here! diehard! @ColtsFTW the Indiana Ice USHL team is a good one to get behind, young but a pretty good record for their short history. Both sides meet today and I think the revisions and overall proposal by the NHL looks good. The NHLPA is likely to take it. I can't see many reasons to not take it. Play ON!!!!!!!!!

Redwings and Blackhawks......Blackhawks used to be the 'major league team' for the Indianapolis Ice....and I spent a ton of time training in Detroit.

How did it go MIColtsFan?

she did not do very well, tendonitis in her right thigh is killing her.. trying work through this, but running time is slow. She is a tough kid though..thanks for the well wishes

Tendonitis is a pain in the.......thigh...in this instance...I get it in my knees once in awhile....limits you big time. I hope she gets better.

Andrew Luck our new field general in training is now signed, sealed, & delivered...Yes!!!

best part is my "ole" pom pons are blue and white! GGGGOOOOOOOO COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's OUR cheerleader!!!! Go Colts!

Yes those State Championship Girls are remarkable role models. WOW! 2 are critical & 1 is in a coma...Sigh...Very sad, especially with their whole life ahead of them yet. I will pray for all of them naturally of course.

Ditto what ^^ SW1 said. Prayers all around.

thanks much for the prayers. The community is holding them up in our prayers. The driver and front passenger have been released from the hospital and will completely recover from their injuries. 2 are still serious and 1 we are all very concerned about, she has 3 skull fractures among other injuries and this is why the medical induced coma is needed, she is a friend of my niece and 3rd cousin to my brother in law. Prayers are appreciated.

Congratulations to your daughter MIColts! Wow we touched upon, soccer, used cars, yard, cook-outs and periodicals. LOL, Have a great day guys oops and girls!

@Brent, jealous of the black mustang, I admit it... @SW1, had drinks with the person responsible to submit the info to the paper (the team manager) and she had not done it, would not surprise me if it doesn't get done at this point, busy summer for all this will be a different season, new club with some high school players and a mixed age group, nervous and excited... pluss cross country

@MIColtsFan: I remember my first 'traveling' football team and I was really nervous. I was really young and it was intimidating. Funny, but in high school games, I liked playing on the road better than at home....

I'd be mad too, if the game plan was to play to the strength of the Chargers defense and not the weakness.

One of the strangest games I've seen. We played like the anti-Colts.

I know SW1, he is usually never like that, he looked stress and he even had words with some Chargers and he usually just ignores that stupid stuff..

As a journalist, Peyton should have been adjacent to the article, and 'Related content" could stay where it is....with Coughlin below. This was a poor journalistic choice with even worse editing.

Yup, clearly an editing oversight & layout glitch IMO. Right on the money as usual Brent.

strange editing! LOL!

Italy has a 'bad' men's volleyball team....water polo next....I like women's better...but shoud be fun.

I did learn about Greeko/Roman wresting though that I didn't know existed. My 12 year old nephew wrestles in school so he thought it was cool anyway. Swimming, water polo, & high speed ping pong were fun to watch too IMO. I watch the Olympics in spurts so no I am not sleep deprived myself. But, it is time for them to end soon I'll admit.

Croatia men's water Polo team has some 'bad' 'bad' dudes....

NFL Hall of Fame player Deion Sanders has a famous saying: "Fame & money make you more of what you are personality wise." If you're thrifty, hardworking, & humble to begin with, you will remain this way prior to a big "pay day." If you are seeking fame, influence, juice, & the prestige that a big "pay day" provides you, you are materialistic & greedy by nature. Money shows your true colors in athletes & celebrity driven journalists like Schefter...

Yes, you are correct Brent this compulsion & obsession with the 1st one to grab the 24 hour cycle headlines with sensationalistic crap that is seldom fact checked or independently verified is tragic, appalling, & disgusting in my humble opinion.

I'm just glad that most Colts fans are beginning to see through all the lies and misinformation! And the Peyton bashing is starting to subside in the forums.

Welcome back! Olympics and TC have been great!!!

Nice to have MCF back refreshed, renewed, and as comical as ever.

Balmy here...HA HA! Well it was 56 yesterday,,,,backi the 30s today....how much did you guys get?

Stay Safe.

@Brent, it's been wierd for about 3 weeks. On thu evening through friday morning we got 15" of the heavy wet stuff. No school again today due to ice now! all the beautiful fun packing snow is now ruined with freezing rain! ugh

SW, I bet you'd enjoy hockey! @Brent, I can't believe the Star isn't talking about the Ice, with them doing so well and all... the Lumberjacks were terrible this year, bummer for local hockey fans. One of my fav Redwings, Justin Abdelkader started in the USHL then moved up to AHL then NHL.. good stuff in the junior and minor leagues.. if only I had more time to devote as a fan.

cut off.. SW is dangerous, but I think Brendan Shanahan, the VP for Player Safety does a fantastic job. I think his being a former player makes a big difference and the NFL would do well to model this. I like how Shany plays video's with his reports when he hands out the penalities..it's all very clear what is accepted and what is not..unfortunately some play like thugs and make deliberate and unneccesary hits that cause injury..see Raffi Torres's latest on Marion Hossa, it's...

Exactly MIColtsFan.....NHL is working on these hits....most fights are "sissy" fights IMO....unless the 2 Enforcers go at it!!! That is MMA!

It is still all about LeBron.....Oh well. I am glad you got to see some of the game!!!

Life is good & great things always occur in 3's like Gramz's return, MCF return, & soon to be Kayla's return...I always need wisdom from the female perspective. Especially 3 women so funny, bright, & sharp. Welcome back ladies!!!

thanks for the smile SW1... missed my Colts Fan Friends.. my CFF's lol!

That's when the Valentine chcolates come in. lol!

100GFB....my das used to love those cherry cordials...I cordially invited him to eat all of them....ICK!

Brent someone told me that if you freeze the cherry cordial it taste better. I haven't tried it and don't intend to! Say I went to a party and someone gave me a box, I would somehow forget it at the party!

Pepe Le Pew a cute cartoon character he is not unfortunately. Just make sure you have plenty of tomato soup on hand in case any of your family gets sprayed. YIKES!!!

It was still dark, stupid time change makes it dark at 7:30AM here.. hate that, he or she happily rummaging in the shrubs, didn't mind me at all.. so very cute, I'm worried there might be babies soon. I need to get the fence panel back up, it's just one little piece, but big enough for the skunk. I suspect my daughter knocked it down kicking her soccer ball at it! Those neighbors have lots of junky places in their back yard for a skunk to make a happy home, they can keep it.

Yep she sounds pregnant...lots of lil stinkers running around soon......just open a Heineken or two to get the idea. HA HA!

Just posted it in the Draft Day thread too.....did not see it anywhere.

You're a smart woman MCF. I seriously doubt that you need to educate yourself too much my friend.

oh I do SW1, everyday I learn something new....at least I try to

Hey there MCF, the Colts did stumble a little bit, but Jay Cutler & Da Bears are smoking right now my friend. 2-0 is 2-0 right? SW1 is happy for Ya!

Da Bears were smoking until the Lions got a hold of them.. great game, enjoyed the Lions winning that. Now the Bears can get back to winning and so can the Colts.. great season
