So, I said here we would be doing more open threads, chats, hangouts, and other community-related goodies. This is important because, overall, many of you don't like the site redesign. That's understandable, and I hear you. Best I can do is make sure you folks get to have your voice heard.

So, here's is today's open thread. I like open threads. Prior to the redesign, I didn't promote enough of them. My bad. One of the main reasons I like them is it gives me an excuse to use one of the plethora of CHEERLEADER PICS I have in our photo stash.

Use this thread to ask me questions about the Colts, or other stuff. Hey, even if it's to bash me, it's cool now. Just be creative about it. That's all I ask. I little flare. I little comedic zing. Goofy Internet memes featuring me earn you Buckeyes.

Today's Friday late-afternoon, Saturday-ish thread can focus on whatever you want. If you want to ask me injury questions about the Colts, I'll answer them. If you want to make fun of the Packers, I'm down. If you want to tell me your favorite Oktober Fest beer, my notepad is ready.

Personally, I like Brooklyn Lager's. I pretty much like anything made by Brooklyn Lager. If Brooklyn Lager made turd-flavored beer that smelled like the butt of a dead rhino, I'd probably like it.

I also like Halloween candy.

To get the ball rolling, here's my favorite George Carlin segment. It's about "Stuff."

Now that you're done watching that, ask away. I'll be popping in and out of this thread for the next 24 hours. Go Colts... and god bless George Carlin.
