Peytongirl

Yours was an honest mistake, Gavin (and you apologized). I think we have all clicked in a forgot which section of the forum we were reading at the time. No worries. And to Suzy - thanks. Still finding my way. now... :topic: One of good friends is a die-hard Chiefs fans so this comment of Ruk's hit home: "...and the AFC West will tremble in his wake." She and I have already been fussing about football. She so wanted Peyton to go to Tennessee or SF. It is going to be interesting.

Personally, I cannot wait. I have a reason to watch NFL Network again.

Thanks for posting current numbers, Dan. That info was brought over from the older thread and now all of the updated information can be discussed in one place.

New cap space thread created - Dan's updated info post has been moved there, so please continue all cap discussions in that CURRENT thread. Thanks! closing this one to avoid any confusion, but keeping available for reference

Thanks, Andy. You are right. Let's keep it about the cap. Thread cleaned up, so :topic:.

I have not been able to write anything about Peyton without getting all choked up. After Peyton's words to Phil B. 'Tell the fans I appreciated them too.' (or words to that effect), I realized that there are no words to THANK Peyton and there are no ends to my appreciation for him and what he means to this game. I am a fan of the game, I am a fan of Peyton. I am a fan of the greatest player to ever play this game (on and better yet - OFF the field). I always will be. Nothing will change that. No team logo, no team colors, nothing. PeytonGirl forever

too true!

Anyone who participated in that mess in NO (or elsewhere) should pay dearly, IMHO. But Williams, Payton, Loomis and Co. - all together need to go down. They cannot put it all on one.

The main player involved in that certainly would not have been a part of a bounty program. Daniels was horrified that Peyton was hurt and distraught, going to him and Coach Dungy several times to see if things were okay. It was a freak accident when one player went high and one went low. Daniels has always been blamed for that and I was there and have never thought he did it purposely. Not even now.

Fixed it for you, though some links do show him in a video making the gestures. ;)

I personally believe that there is a line between being cheeky and making things personal. I think we must have good discussions here and that means that they will be lively. For the majority of the issues we have faced in the last several months (it seems), most things stem from the spirit from which the posts were intended. If they are meant to incite and provoke a nasty response or are meant to just push a button, then perhaps the comments are better off given a second thought prior to sending. Because posting a message for the sole intention to incite is equal to trolling. At the same time, because it is the internet we do not have the face to face interaction to always help understand the intent to the post. What some feel are just sarcastic remarks meant in jest, another may feel was an intentional hurtful personal shot. It helps to take a step back and look at things from another point of view and that is not easy to do (believe me). A lot of us come to the message board to blow off steam at the end of the day or to release some boredom during the workday. Maybe it makes a person feel better to pick a little fuss and argue about nothing really with another poster. (just hypothetically speaking, mind you) But there are others concerned who may also be having a hard time or a bad day. It helps to remember that. The last season and especially the last month or so has been very emotional for Colts fans. We just all need to try to be better to each other. Things will work out.

People see what they want to see and their logic gets skewed exactly how they want. Funny how that works, but hey...that is they way it goes. Interesting though. Very interesting. Hmmm. :hmm:

Well, a lot of folks already do. ;)

From the pics that were posted of the fans already in Luck jerseys last season, it doesn't look like all fans were supporting the QB under center. It is all subjective at times. *shrug* Peace, Love and Football.... :hippie2:

+100 to that statement. I think many of us are feeling the same way. Sad really.

Here we go again....

Looks like someone is a Trekkie and stole the TNG font.

glad he is still my keeper...

Yeah, loving the Vols orange throwback.

He looks great to me. After a year of not being able to do a whole lot, he looks amazing. I am happy to see him in throwing form again. I am not sure what everyone expects. Geez. I am happy for him.

Those that mean the thread to be humorous, it is great. We need more humor and light heartedness around here these days. Those who are using it for their own devices to be snarky, not so cool and not as clever as you think. Just don't go there. Let's keep it in the spirit it which it was (hopefully) intended. ;) Best wishes to Lacey.

Please allow me to clarify something for you. Calling any fans who post on this forum (or members who read) "punks" - however you choose to define it - is insulting, inflammatory and is trolling.

Thanks to all for cooling off and bringing some much needed humor and peace back to the forum and back to the thread. Hopefully we can all move on and simply remember why it was posted in the first place - out of concern for all here, so that we can discuss our love of the game in a safe, friendly environment. There are plenty of places on the internet that you can go and post where it is "no-holds-barred" or whatever that expression is. You can say whatever you like and if you are "man enough to take it", fight, curse and flame each other all day. But this is not one of those places. All that is asked here is civility and respect. You don't have to like each other. You don't have to agree. But you do have to be respectful in what you do say or else keep it to yourself. You cannot resort to jr. high playground antics. And just a note to what CS said above, the mods do make almost all decisions as a group. We are very cognizant of when there are personality conflicts. In efforts to be fair, we do our best to let other mods head up a problem if there has been a personal issue with a poster. I can wholeheartedly assure you that we believe in equality and fairness and do our utmost to provide that for everyone. No one is perfect, but we do a good job and I don't mind saying that. I have seen other forums and I have been a mod on this one for a long time. I know what we stand for and I know how hard we all work for you. That being said...these are for Ruksak and everyone who are starting their peace movements. Cheers! :hippie: :hippie2: :hippies: :cool: I just want us all to be able to get along well enough to have civil conversations about football. Simple. Hugs, PG
