This past weekend I traveled over to Cincy to attend the Cincinnati Reds annual Redsfest. It's a two day event that is all Reds. There are players there autographing, there are interactive activities for kids, there are memborilla dealers there, they have Fan interaction sessions and such over the two days. A number of ML baseball teams have these each off season. I was wondering wouldn't this be a good things for the Colts to do in say March or April here in Indy? I mean especially after this season to get the fans reconnected to the team and such. I wonder if any NFL team has done an event like this....

How was that DN? I thought long and hard about going but decided against it. I Did the caravan last yr and had a good time.

Packed, largest crowd ever. I haven't been to the last 4-5 so was interested to see it. Was able to get 3 key autographs from guys from the 90 WS team. Saw some real neat stuff and could have spent a ton. The stage activities were nice. I think something like this would go great in Indy and would go along way to helping fans coup with this season.

I think about going to the Redsfest every year, but I always wait and visit the caravan. Its not as big of a deal as Redsfest, but you still get to meet some people and get autographs, and its free to go. I really wish that I could go to one of the preseason autograph signings that the Colts do each year, but they don't get outside Indiana, so its a little far for me to travel. I think its really cool when sports teams do things like that. It is an awesome experience for the fans to get to meet and interact with the guys they watch on TV every week.

I have a 1990 WS bat, I got Davis, Sabo and billy hatcher....

Excellent! I had always heard ED was a pretty nice dude. Never have met him.Sabo was my boy! Then the corking incident.... I ran into Pete Rose in Vegas probably, I dont know, '94? That was kinda cool.

My wife last year got me a game used/broken/auto'd Jay Bruce bat, its pretty nice. Still got the tar/dirt all over the handle.

    • I have no idea how it will all shake out, but I have my popcorn ready.
    • There are no owners in the NFL that are perfect people. Some owner's demons are more public, some not so much, but they all have them. There's much more to the free agency issue and the Colts than most are aware of. There are a lot of intangibles most will never consider. That said, there is more to almost every aspect of any organization that most will ever be aware of. Those are often the things that matter most.  
    • You can't measure what is "right" in a vacuum, or just by "feel". It takes so much more than that. The Colts front office performance is judged in relationship with all the other teams in the NFL. Just trying to objectively align the different perspectives of the scouting and coaching staff requires more sophisticated evaluation methods than what we saw in the video.   It doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling, but I understand this is the way a lot of organizations work.
    • https://www.stampedeblue.com/2024/4/1/24118330/i-pity-the-fool-mock-draft     Trade Colts 2nd round (440)   For   Packers pick 58 and 91 (456)   Packers select Zach Frazier C West Virginia 6'2 314lbs Logic: Packers replace Jon Meyers who gave up 5 sacks and had a pff grade of 55.8   Colts trade pick 58 and Kwity Paye   For   Saints Marshon Lattimore CB 27 years old and a conditional 2025 4th (depending on snaps could be 3rd) From Over the cap The team trading for Lattimore would take on his contract as is. They would have the decision to either pick up the option to defer the cap charges or to simply take all of the hit in 2024. Here is the cost on the cap if the team picks up the option in the contract:   Year Salary Cap Charge Dead Money 2024 $15,000,000 $12,000,000 2025 $18,000,000 $0 2026 $18,500,000 $0 2027 (void) $0 $0 Lattimore has no guaranteed money in his contract after 2024 so there is nothing that would lock a team into him beyond this year. Colts Logic: We wanted some experience in the secondary. We wanted a shutdown corner. So we give the Saints a offer they can not refuse. In the first 2 rounds we address most of our defensive woes. Saints Logic: Saints are switching to a 4-3 defense this year and just let Michael Thomas walk. They have always been cap wizards but this may be the year to start a new with the changes listed above. Lattimore has only played 17 games these past two seasons and even though he's a top 12 CB when healthy he has been dinged up. Kwity Paye can start at DE until Chase Young is healthy.
    • Ballard should have never cut him. I want Ogletree on the team as well considering charges were dropped (I believe), but his whole fiasco with his fiance where battery might have been involved was way more of a sensitive topic and understandable of being cut for than Rodgers friend betting 1k on his account on a Colts run stat over/under. That's the worse thing Rodgers was found guilty of, and now we have Colts fans trying to convince themselves we need a RD1 CB pick after 3 were chosen in last year's draft...    He did a podcast detailing what he bet on with Franklin and Speed in case others haven't seen it. Much ado about nothing imho and it's obvious the locker room still like him/didn't think he was negatively trying to affect the outcome of games, and they would know best on that over anyone.
