Peyton Manning

[Morcheeba]

The big difference between Manning's and Favre's situations is - as I read in someone's piece - Manning basically built what the Colts are today in Indy, whereas the Packers had long been established before Favre ever arrived...

...I almost 100% believe Manning has taken his last snap as a Colt and I can see where retirement is growing closer to that percentage.

What sucks is reading so many eulogies when the guy hasn't taken breathed his last, yet...

Manning most certainly built what the Colts are today in Indy... even got them a new stadium with his name/reputation and winnings. I don't wish to discuss Favre any further because I know Pointless is a huge Colts fan and didn't mean it the way it read. I merely wanted to nip that in the bud, is all.

It does suck.

If Manning is healthy he volunteers to cut his salary and play out his career in Indy and takes Luck to school. His endorsements soar and everything's everything and life is life.

Wut? Don't be cocky.

There was this QB, on his way out, that decided the Cards and living in Scottsdale was a pretty good deal.

Dearest Kurt,

What did you win in AZ?


Warmest regards (and a big, fat "I told you so")

There's a joke in there somewhere.

A ready-to-throw Manning and Saturday-Wayne-Clark to Miami to join the Brandon kid...

...would give the Heat a run for some headlines, no?

Not the Heat but perhaps the Dolphins. I hear ya tho, sugar.

Funny thing:

This time last year Colts fans were looking super-forward to maybe playing for the Lombardi Trophy in their own house...

...then the shtf and they end-up rooting for the worst team in the NFL.

And it gets even worse as it looks like Irksay is going for big banana by "this ain't fantasy football"ing the big kahuna...

...but - and here's the funny thing - Peyton Manning is the bigger story this time of year than the Super Bowl itself.

Irksay would be very wise to start treading very lightly...

...if he disses Manning any more than he already has in Indy fan eyes, he will end-up being deplored more than his father was in Baltimore.

But people are stupid... they should focus on the SB contenders, instead. Peyton's stuff will be waiting right around the corner come next Monday.

Thing is, it is such a close matchup that nobody is sure and that is pretty much how to size up the Manning injury status. Everybody is sketchy, to say the least. Why the fuck would I try to finger out how to post a poll in here after all these years (since they revamped on April Fool's Day) if I didn't find it all somewhat WEIRD?

He'll not stop being deplored. At least in my Indy/Peyton-loving eyes.

"Hey Rob Lowe, let's talk football. I think *guzzle* Peyton might retire *guzzle*"

"Really? Get out!"

"Yeah, his neck surgeries... let's just say he's toast."

"Really? Get out! Can I tweet this news?"

"Sure. You know, I can picture you in a porno..., sure *guzzle* go ahead, tweet about it. God, you're so handsome."

 

[Morcheeba]

Lest you all forget, Jim Irsay followed up Rob Lowe's initial tweet about Peyton Manning [THEE PEYTON MANNING] retiring with a tweet about Rob Lowe in a porno.

To shame. To shame.

 

[eyer]

I like how, after Manning spilled a little personal grief to Kravitz last week, Irksay almost immediately played the pseudo-daddy political card...

...or horseshoe, if you will.

Now I see Irksay trying to out-politicize the guy he dissed for - what he thought was - politicizing.

[Have read Michael Irvin, that intelligenzi of the game, rant that he was familiar with that horseshoe before Manning got to Indy...

...and it'll be the same crappy horseshoe as soon as Manning leaves Indy.]

Everything I read from Irksay's mouth now - despite the disingenuous blossom he coats each breath of his with - seems to mutter everything but...

...You're fired!

I don't think he is done with the Colts. I think that they will want to keep him even if they don't know if he will be able to be the starter for sure. They will try to restructure that bonus if possible

 

[islandman]

Evidently there's an interview airing on ESPN currently with Peyton in which he makes it clear that he's far away from even contemplating about retirement.

Peyton Manning denies reports of retirement

[Morcheeba]

Am loving all these reports about Peyton not retiring. Woohooo!

But what sucks for him is that he has to have dinner with Jim Irsay and other big-whig NFL honchos Sunday afternoon before the big game. Oh to be a fly on the wall for that event.

Dear Pereg's ass lover,

My time in Arizona and that last Super Bowl run got me fitted for an ugly yellow jacket.

He's not gonna be a Colt next year. With the rookie wage scale they'll be paying the #1 pick for a relatively cheap price.

And the story I heard about Manning is true, then he won't be willing to take a significant pay cut.

No doubt anyone interested has already learned that Manning has been cleared to play by both the surgeon who operated on his neck and the Colts neurosurgeon Dr. Hank Feuer, who is reported to have told Manning recently:

“If you were my own son, I’d tell (you) to go play.”

And here's a report on how Peyton's been throwing from Colts kicker and fellow future Hall of Famer Adam Vinatieri:

[Cratchit]

After reading and hearing all the soap opera drama going on with Peyton able to play or not, will he stay with the Colts, will they go with a rookie QB and on and on and on, i have decided these things:


people are too damn concerned about events that even those involved havent figured out. they are making predictions or saying they know he will do this, wont do that. hell, peyton himself doesnt know his future.


people are focusing too damn much...ok, wait, the DAMN MEDIA is focusing too much on a guy that hasnt taken a single snap this season. lets worry about the two guys actually playing sunday. Interviewing Peyton the other day served what purpose??

 

[eyer]

And, of course, Irksay is up early this morning tweeting:

"Peyton has not passed our physical nor has he been cleared to play for The Indianapolis Colts. Team statement coming on Friday."

Mr. Irsay,

I was just on Jim Rome basically telling him my client will not be with your "horseshoe" next year, Luck or no Luck.

Dearest Tom,

So, you finally figured out that I've taken my team back after 10+ years of it being Peyton's team?

Good for you!

Jim
