.... to see Sunday's Colt's game in person.

It's been set-up by a care-giver in the senior home where this man lives.... She got tix for him through a local bank. But when word got to the Colts this week, they quickly moved to make his visit the best...

-- Field passes...

-- VIP tickets to some of the best seats in the house...

Mad props to the Colts for doing this... and my shout-out comes from 2,000 miles away! This is the way things should be done -- first class!! :thmup::thmup:

Here's your moving story:

Yes was great to hear, i have always wanted to work with Make A Wish Foundation and just recently have touched base and will be setting it up for a child to see my fighters train, attend the weighins, walk to the cage with them and the promotor is donating event merchandise to them as well. It is great when those who are able to give back do sometimes we get so caught up in life that we lose track of the big picture.

Colts organization, classy once again :blueshoe:

I posted this on ProFootballTalk.com in the comment section about the article on the Colts "2nd straight sellout" (nevermind they haven't NOT sold out a game since the home opener against the Titans in 2003)....Florio has a bone to pick with Irsay, always has, and my link will probably get deleted (heaven forbid talking bad about Florio; comments badmouthing him in any way get deleted all the time)

Very moving story, and shows that Irsay is one of the classiest owners in the league.

Awesome story and my props to the Colts. But, I am even more impressed by this senior home and the caregivers who helped make this possible.

It was also interesting to read some of the comments. Of course, there were the usual jerks.

But, there were fans of other teams . . . Broncos, Packers, Giants, Saints, Patriots, 49ers, Lions, Raiders, Steelers, Bears, Falcons, Cowboys, Eagles . . . and yes, even the Jaguars . . . who had very nice comments. There were probably even more teams represented. I only read through a few of the posts.

I found it very heartwarming that even those who aren't Colt's fans hope that this man gets to see a Colt's W.

iI know this more than likely won't happen, but the network that is covering the Colts game should do two things this week.. One, show the ceremony for Edge, and two, show this man at the game, enjoying his last wish. Cut to him after every score the Colts make, and give this vet all the caring and support of the nation.

this made me cry. I am so glad he gets to go to this game. Nothing like going to a home game

Proud to be a Colts fan. Irsay runs one of the classiest franchises in all of sports

:hat: Hat's Off to all that made this possible.

This story brought tears to my eyes. Great Job to the Colts and Mr. Irsay.

This story reveals why INDY is a world class organization.

Thank you Mr. Irsay, coaches, players, press personnel and all those unnamed, unsung individuals directly responsible for Danny Webber's last wish. :colts:

      Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      Less than 2 months away when the greatest crushes this Jake Paul guy. Tyson in 3. Tyson is getting in great shape, he looks fast and strong as of now.    When I list boxers where they rank all-time, I go by peak. You have to when it comes to boxing because most fighters Don't last long. Mike Tyson from 1985-1995 only lost once in 10 years. His record in that time frame was 43-1 37 KO's. Buster Douglas KO'd him in the 10th round in a fight where Mike didn't even train for and Mike Actually KO'd him in the 8th, Douglas got a 13 count.    Notable wins in that 10 year frame.   Berbick Tucker  Spinks Bruno Ruddock (twice)

      I'm excited about our future. I think Ballard put together 2 very nice drafts in a row. Never thought we would get Latu, thought we had a better chance at Bowers. Still holding out hope for Cross, he flashes greatness than dissappears, hope he's consistent. Hope Woods takes lead in TE room. I keep writing off Granson, but he keeps impressing. Even if Richardson has a mediocre season I think the team around him could get us to 10-7.

      Harrison Butker's shocking speech, Chiefs probably not going to 3 peat

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women.

      AD Mitchell Not Signed

      By stitches · Posted

      This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.
