MIColtsFan

He has been a pleasure to watch, said his harshest critic from the past.

I'm glad he is turning it around! He is on his way up!

Yup, I was wrong about Brown. He's having a solid year. Donald deserves props for that.

holy cow Kayla, Walking Dead this past Sunday was incredible! I love the story line, they left the graphic novel story a while ago, but I actually like the shows line better! I think Rick and Shane are due for a reckoning!!!! I was thinking how much I miss football while watching Mike & Mike yack about NBA basketball, UGH!!!!!!! YAWN! thank goodness for hockey!

Yeah I'm just waiting for them two to go at it! Shane is crazy on there ever since he shot that guy and left him behind. I couldnt believe that! The last episode before they took the break was so sad with the little girl. Definitiely one of my favorite showa though. Not like a lot of shows where you can guess what happens before it happens.

I agree all I keep haering is NBA. Kobe and Lin, bla bla bla lol. I watch basketball sometimes and do like it but its just not the same. Does not fill the void either.

LOL, think you are right shecolt, I was watching the game and thought that was what he was doing, then it came out in new shortly after

Ok...we have water boy #1 and now water boy #2? Ick!

are they drinking on those sidelines? good grief! I thought heard the dumper guys name as Izzo? they were laughing and I wasn't paying full attention to get the name right. I remember the peeing story now that you bring it up, but never would of remembered the name, wow @shecolt, good memory!

I echo those exact same sentiments MCF. Those people in the life saving profession sometimes need to be rescued themselves. Let's all hope for no more loss of in this case.

Perhaps, we should start a "What are you reading?" thread. I'm an avid reader and am always looking for suggestions as to what books others have enjoyed (or haven't). Right now, I am on a James Patterson kick. That guy can't write fast enough for me.

excellent idea shecolt... I like the womens murder club series by JP.. what a cutie on your avatar

I "acquired" several hundred good ebooks many of which are SciFi so I don't read reviews, I just look for my favorite authors (there are quite a few) and start reading. I love that ebooks are such small files and I can keep thousands of them on my Nook, which I modded to use as a fully functioning tablet and have 32gb storage so I'll never run out of room!

Sounds just like my storm last Friday. Those are hurricane force winds. It seems this summer all storms are violent in nature.

tried to post a picture for you in the gallery, it just wouldn't post...here is link, water spouts on Lake Michigan (the day you had big storm).. pretty cool, only witnessed twice in my life

Storms are amazing...have some just south of me now. Two counties in southern Indiana have severe storms...one is mine I still have not recovered from the last one.

my daughter has a rule, if a bell ringer shows some 'flair' we give them whatever spare change we have. Today the bell ringer said "merry christmas and welcome to wally world" lol, gave him my change

Thank you MCF for donating your free time in the true meaning of Christmas. You are a very kind & compassionate person. All my friends on here know the importance of thinking of those less fortunate than themselves all year round. The most important commodity you can give is not money, but time...

, Nadine, I'll remember to add some flare right said SW1, time, talent and treasure..in that order everyone can help make their community a little better. I'm a firm believer of "it takes a village"

...... and to continue this thought, I am not saying I agree with it, just wondering if that has happened? I am sure there are some athletes who's parents may not attend such events, so what are they supposed to do?

I wish then it would just be easy, but on week nights parents can only be in 3 or 4 places at once, LOL.. no the district just thinks it's a savings, the parents are banding together, I think we will get this changed, but it seems it will have to be sport by sport, not school wide.. the only team currently bussed both ways in the football team and the parents and fans DO all attend those, but they get a bus back, in fact, HAVE to ride the bus back for "team meeting"

It's really INSANE thinking to bus them ONE WAY....

Thank you.. learning more every chance we get to research.. looking for best neurosurgeon out there.. it's been a whirlwhind that last 6 months..life comes at you fast!

The best in the Midwest passed away after helping save my dad. Indiana University Med Center has some of the best. Remember all of the cases sent from Indianapolis Motor Speedway from head injuries/etc. I recommend the former Methodist Hospital for Neurology.

thanks Brent, will check that out, looking at the Chiari Institute in NY, so far seem to be the leading experts for this disease, but is pretty far..

I truly believe it was pre cautionary.

NK MCF! The more I see, the more excited I get. We are going to be a contender sooner than people think...at least that's my prediction

I agree CP11!!!

It was reported Clark visited Denver with Saturday....my mom actually heard that on local radio.....I hope he does. I wish we would sign Tamme.

haven't heard anything on Dallas or even Addai at this point

that would be fun to see Dallas with Peyton in Denver, and Saturday too. nothing on Addai. Lions signed Lacey the other day, was glad to hear that.

I think both are oustanding individuals and run a clean program,rather refreshing in this day and age

tom crean is married to jim harbaugh's sister

yes he is

4 or less is not is still a mess! Hey I get a 1 seed for the rhyme!

Hey Brent you're a poet and didn't know it! LOL that rhymes.

Throwing out da rhyme 100GFB....like DWade dishing the dime....OK...my rapping days are numbered

Broncs cannot afford to go 2-4....interesting AFC.....very weak compared to NFC too!

maybe everyone stayed up late watching baseball on Sat. night or didn't eat breakfast, I don't know but I couldn't believe my eyes with the games I watched

It does seem bizarre this year. Veteran teams continue to fall short & lose while young, upstart team's are winning. Very strange...Like blogger Jules said, it feels like a tectonic and titanic plates shift of the NFL’s elite teams right now.

Funny Barry.

I've always had a soft spot for the Lions simply because I love their uniforms (and cats).

Other than that, they've never been easy to like though. This group is turning me off too.

you are all funny guys... I'm still a fan.. 30 NFL player arrests over summer, not all thugs reside in DTown...Berry was "released", shown the door and I appreciate how the org. dealt with that. Also looking forward to see if a hometown 2008 grad. will be on the field kicking for the Bills tonight! I just love football! And not every team can be as classy as the Colts

Absolutely, MCF root for your Lions. We all have more than 1 NFL team that we follow. I just hope keeps his cool in critical game situations this year. Yes, the Colts exemplify dignity, honor, & class certainly, but we don't exclusively corner the market on decorum either.

I saw those storms mark5362. We need Mother Nature to spread the wealth....

someone must of stopped dancing here, it didn't last long at all, a night rain came it but it's not enough and the blueberry crops are still too dry! bummer..we'll take it what we can get though any little bit does help and the temp. dropped a bit at least

"We need Mother Nature to spread the wealth...." You can certainly say that again Brent. We need an encore performance of gentle, study raindrops that soak up thoroughly in the soil.

News conference now listed at noon on Colts.com. Not as a story....as a flash. I am with you on you point on using that money to sign players....existing or free agents from other teams. This is a complete mess in terms of our free agents. Most of them are going away soon. This is a total 'gutting.' Not sure the full mentality of what is happening.

they did say 12N on Q95.. Saturday says this opens up $ to keep some vetrans. I think the most important vet to keep is #18... we'll see. He also said, wherever Peyton and Irsay just flew in from that Irsay drove PM home from the airport last night and that they were both in good spirits..there's more to this story, much more. I'm still hoping it's just a way to be able to pick up PM as a free agent...

Perhaps it's an entirely rational fear, did ya ever think of that, huh, huh? lol

We were dark for a full week after the recent hurricane. Your world gets reduced to the length of your flashlight beam, which can feel a bit claustrophobic if you dwell on it. Fortunately we were too busy thinking about how cold, hungry, dirty, bored, frustrated and depressed we were to get to claustrophobia. Perhaps in week two.

Right after I read this last evening, our electricity went off and the little ones were scared....I am not a fan of pitch dark, but don't get 'skeered.'

I would if I was in MAC's position for long periods at a time.....

sorry about the MAC, I hope all is well now and life is back to normal? That was a scary storm for sure. I just don't know what she thinks is there in the dark that isn't in the light, but she was pretty funny. I was up all night worrying about the candles.

2 Detroit trips in a row.. going to see the Colts vs Lions this Sunday then a week later for some soccer! my daughter wants to meet Christie Rampone, Sydney Laroux, Alex Morgan, Hope Solo, Kelley O'hara and of course Abby Wambach! doubt there is much chance, but we get to see them live! whoohoo

I read every word just to see that MIColtsFan "whoohoo!!!!" Awesome.

Nice MCF! You & your girls will have a blast I'm sure!

I would laugh heartily and buy him a Packers mug for Christmas. Jobs are hard to come by.

He already fired me for drawing a large horse in Colts colors eating a cheese head on his white board after that game. Bears let me down. I get fired a lot during football season. ;)

I've never met your boss personally, but clearly you have better tastes in superior football winning franchises my friend. "Discount Double Check This Boss!" Only Teasing MCF...

In that case I'm sunk

"in SW's case, just keep sinking, just keep sinking. As long as you keep on keeping on, you're golden " I like that MCF! Even if you drop like a rock, crash & burn with flair, style, pinosh baby!!! Don't worry Brent, we will go out with a huge earth shattering bang or giant bubble. HA! HA! Just Kidding!!!

Where is the nuclear emtioncon? Doctor next week...I aint skeered of nothing but doctor's appts.

I thought the Lions were doomed...Stafford made it happen after some early problems. I only saw the last drive or two at the end. Good to hear at least one replacement referee had a good day

Both your Bears & Lions look Playoff bound this year to me MCF!!!

I hope for the Lions...they did not play that well, they have a lot to clean up. I think the 49ers and the Ravens look like forces to be reckoned with. The Bears, they should have a great season. I'm not a big fan of Cutler or Lovie, but still my #3..Broncos could steal this position though ;)

That's what I love about you MCF. You can roll with any situation, except the most tragic of course, & make it easy going, relaxing, & funny. You always make me laugh. It must just come naturally to you. Whatever it is, keep dishing it out because I buyin' it hook, line, & sinker baby!!! Just watch it stepping off the boat MCF. I don't want you getting sea sick on land again. Just Kidding!!! I always tease the people I admire the most like cr...

It cut me off...I always tease the people I admire the most like crazy. It's a sign of mutual respect to me. If I don't joke around at all, then you know something is seriously wrong. All my forum friends rock, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit to having a small select group of favorites. You know who you are!!!

thanks SW1.. guess what I am still sea sick on land?! it's getting better and I expect the vertigo to be gone soon, at least I hope!

yup and now MJD drama for the Jags...

Jags would surprise with MJD....they will not without him....

Within a couple of years, the AFC South not the NFC East could easily be the toughest division in the NFL.
