The suspension, although could be challenged by the NFLPA, is SUCH a smart business move by the team. By doing the 2 game suspension, it bridges the 2 seasons together...which means we can cut him with no penalty and save over $3 Million. It sucks that we gave up a pick for him, but this is best case scenario

Of course the OL can use improving, but since Trent got to Indy, every RB but him has put up decent to good numbers while he is a historically bad.

OK, I'll try some almost politics and see if its worthy of staying around more than 10 minutes:

On Hannity Lt Col Ralph Peters, the proverbial Fox contributor, lashed out at an administration spokesman who said that the burning of the Jordanian pilot was an act of desperation. He was fired up and said, "THOSE PEOPLE WHO BURNED THAT MAN ALIVE,,,THEY'RE HAVING THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES......ITS NEVER GONNA GET ANY BETTER FOR THEM THAN THIS. THEY HAVE POWER NOW. THEY CAN EXERT THEIR WILL OVER OTHERS. THIS IS BETTER THAN THE BEST SEX THEY'VE EVER HAD AND ITS EASIER ON THE GOATS!" I was caught off guard and laughed so hard my girlfriend bumped her head on my laptop.

I think this qualifies as OK due to the fact that Lt Col Peters said on a previous show that he was a Colts fan.
Totally inappropriate. But that's funny, I don't care who you are.

I am not saying you guys think the OLine is wonderful...
Then how come anytime anyone wants to criticize TRich you call us dumazz, a-holes & idiots?

...But, what I'd Love to see is some sign from the Colts staff that they understand the real problem...
Is the fact that they have brought in OL FA's &/or drafted OL every off season not a sign of that? I certainly think so.

Now if you want to complain that they haven't done a good enough job of addressing it, that is different. And yes, I agree that I find it absurd when I see posts that the Colts need to draft a RB in the 1st round. The difference is I allow those people to have their opinion without the need to berate them.

DAMMIT! your right...I've done some soul searching and I decided I am an a-hole too. Wait, I didn't mean too...leave that off. That implies you guys are a-holes and that is wrong. Yes, some of you are idiots but I don't mean that in a bad way...its just that sometimes I can't contain myself with I totally realize I so much smarter than...wait, that's ain't where I wanted to go. OK, if youz guys can totally overlook it when I call you an idiot, knowing its not supposed to be personal, I'll try really hard not be personal. I'm trying to atone here. I was supposed to have an intervention the day before yesterday but nobody showed up. Just looking for some love.

My new position is....the Colts must know we suck at blocking the other guys. Unfortunately, they suck even more at evaluating OLine talent. I'll try to make that my point from now on. I will not defend TR anymore....he sucks...he is a turd....he is off my Christmas card list.....besides, he didn't send me one this year, so screw him. Better?

If I believed you were being funny instead of condescending then it would be better, but since I know better - it's not better. Maybe you better stick to calling everyone names.

You are most certainly correct Weatherman - he is doing both. And I absolutely disdain that type of behavior.

When someone attempts to be funny &/or joke around with another person it is a form of friendliness, but when someone attempts to mask their condescending behavior with humor it is insulting. What makes it worse is that people that do this have a smug/conceited attitude and they often want to see if the target of their condescending tone is aware of it or oblivious to it.

Advanced does this constantly, and IMO it is extremely distasteful.

Damn, he nailed me. As I read what he said about me I first thought, "What? That's not what I'm do'n...." ...then I thought for a minute. I looked at Gracie, my devoted dog, and I asked her, "Gracie, do I do that?" She looked down and then raised her head slowly and said...nothing, she's a dog. But it made me think. Maybe I am doing that...you know, that thing where a I try to see if people get it or what ever he said I was doing and finally I kinda agree. He is at least 95% correct. Its absolutely disdainable. I'm surely one of the most condescending people you'll ever run across on a board...GUILTY! Smug and conceited....OK. I'm a little of that too. My spelling also sucks but since that wasn't mentioned I'll leave it at that.

One thing bothers me about this personal critique. (Being as serious as I can here) Without the benefit of actually seeing me say this terrible crap that's so reprehensible, how can you know who I am or what my real intentions are? There are no winks and nods possible on here and no voice inflections...I can't even do any eye rolling (Didn't think about the little emoticons). I haven't said this in a while but since you want to get so personal let me just say this, I don't consider anything I say here as anything that should be offensive cause I'm not a real person. advanced is a handle not my name. If we all had faces and names I'd take it more seriously. If you knew my family and I knew your It would be different. But, I learned years ago that people get on here and pretend. They pretend to be and they pretend to know. They even pretend to get mad and pretend to act as if they are above or below who they really are. If anybody has a problem with me acting in a certain way then you might want to pretend not to give a damn about someone else you'll never see or even meet. Maybe just ignore me. The fact is this, I do know some stuff and I'm full of shit on other stuff. If I told everybody who I was really, it wouldn't be fun for me. I'd have to be real then. I'd rather not.

Have it any way you like...but you may have noticed that the people who post here, are consciously respectful of others and don't get into insults or idle threats, which permeated the Coltpower shithouse. Good, sensible debate is always welcome. Let's just try to keep everything respectful. That's what we do here. Alot more productive that way. Plenty of other venues to peruse for entertainment purposes.

I don't need to see your face or hear your voice to recognize a condescending attitude, just as I don't need to know someone & their family personally to be respectful to them.

I have conversed with you for years on this & the other board and what I know is that 95% of your posts are either directly & openly ridiculing others or masking condescending comments with humor. You can tell yourself that this is not who you really are but I find that hard to believe.

Let me ask you this & I don't expect you to respond, all I ask if that you look at yourself & be honest. How often do you make condescending remarks to others in real life?

I'm guessing you do it without even thinking or realizing that you are doing it, but if I am wrong then I apologize for my comments for as you have pointed out - I don't know you personally.

The more I think about that statement the more I know it to be hogwash. I proclaim that every regular poster on this & the other board is exactly what they are portraying themselves to be - diehard Colts fans. There is a term for those who are pretending to be Colts fans when they actually are not - they are called trolls.

Furthermore, I'm betting that you have formed an opinion of all the regular posters. Are those opinions pretend or real?

I have an idea, lets start a petition to ban me. But, instead of just voting how about sharing what behavior you are most disgusted by. That way all of those who wish can join in and have a group self esteem raising....feel all good about put'n the bad guy in his place. You can also trash the other board too, while you're at it, that'd be very classy. I'd certainly hate being the center of all that attention. BTW, our OLine sucks.

Personally, I find you to be humorous except when you're being condescending, which doesn't play well over a computer. Like you said, face to face changes how we choose our words and actions v.s. typing crap over a computer keyboard for laughs, or whatever the agenda may be. Some folks may not understand the mixed messages you seem to play with. You're like the bully who complains he's always being picked on. Very confusing. Class and Coltpower should never be used in the same sentence.


B.T.W. BOTH our "lines" currently suck.

I always thought your real name was Ed Vance, advanced... Also, pretty sure Scott’s real name is Steve and MrCCC's name is Mr. Threeseas or Mr. Tripleseas.

I don't take anything you say as personal, man. But you do like to use a broad brush sometimes.

Or, you like to take all the paint you have, dump it all on the floor, roll around in it, and then tell everyone you're giving out free hugs.

Doesn't get personal, it seems, until it gets directed at you... But I ain't gonna defend you because one: you got thick skin and B: that might be what you're going for. I don't know. I just know I enjoy your posts for the most part. Not to mention, underneath all those conceited/condescending/arrogant/idiot posts, you make a good point once in a while...

Besides, if you ever get too out of control, I know how to kill you...

Everyone has different approaches to how they interact on a message board, My real name is Scott and I would talk to people face to face the way I post on a message board. My personna is to just give my honest thoughts on the topic at hand, It's really not that difficult and even though I'm on a message board, I am still a real person sharing my real thoughts. I tend to think most the posters here approach things in a similar fashion.

I want to apologize for my rant yesterday & for turning this topic into something beyond football discussion.

But I have been conversing with advanced for quite a few years now and his rhetoric is always the same and his posts in this very topic are a perfect example. He enters this topic by stating how stupid & short sighted we all are. He argues his point for a while until he gets aggravated, then he types a sarcastic condescending post disguised with humor. He even gets one of our respectable posters to like it.

I’m not sure what there is to like about one person being condescending to another. For those of you who find him funny - to each his own, but make no mistake that a large majority of his posts that contain humor also contain condescending remarks. Do you laugh & like it when someone is being condescending in real life? If your answer is no, then why do you like it on an internet forum?

I think that MOST of us are used to advanced by now, and take him for what he is. On a personal level, I do just fine with sarcasm. I can dish it out at times, myself. Condescending, just breeds retaliation. So just get your pound of flesh that way. You don't have to LIKE it, but you CAN retaliate with words. As long as things are kept with a civil manner, take it from the source...or ignore the posts. It's akin to having your neighbor's dog crap on your lawn, but you don't get angry because they're nice enough folks and the doggie is a cute little guy. And always take things on an internet forum with a grain of salt. Thick skin comes in very handy. Enjoy!

OK, since I've been outed...here is the real truth...as opposed to the other kind. First, I think differently than almost everybody else. You sir think more inside the box, which is not good or bad its just the way you deal with your external world. When you get pissed at me for my crap I don't really blame you cause I get it. I really don't care for the "He's pulling our chain" phrase cause that doesn't seem to exactly name what I'm trying to do...but if you like it, I'm OK with it. I just say stuff I mostly believe and I try to be slightly over the top when I say it.

Here is a real moment for you....not over the top at all....

My best friends brother died yesterday and it made me us do some of that soul searching stuff folks do. If I were to start over today, I'd do some things differently....but one thing I wouldn't do is change who I am at the core and how I deal with and how I treat people...I guess you people don't count in that.

... I'd like to share this, you know, since I'm outed: I retired in mid December. My coworkers organized a party for me after work at the local chamber of commerce. With only 5 hrs notice one of my former students from 35 years ago dropped everything and drove over 350 miles to get there. I know this sounds like bragging but its more like being proud, which is kinda related I think. Whats crazy is, I haven't seen this kid in 15 years. My friend later asked me if we had had some connection beyond school and the answer was "No". It still causes me to wonder. She was one of my favorite students but I didn't know she liked me that much. At the party she kinda held court with my staff and told a story about me. One sentence she used hit me a few seconds ago while I was typing. She said in the middle of her story, "...I'm sure you all know how cool Mr. Vance tries to be...(Laughter)" then she went on with her story. The joke was that I used to talk to my students about 'not trying to be cool' but at the time my hair was kinda long and I drove a nice sports car and was always cracking funnies and so on. This I discovered was a major point my students hadn't missed. So, I guess I'm a really great guy. I rest my case your Honor. I hope I haven't already shared this...and if I did I hope I told the truth.

This has been so much fun....now, lets out one of youz guys. Who wants to volunteer?
