From the “Talk too much studios,” let’s go.
In this Dec. 2, 2011, file photo, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning talks to reporters in the locker room at the NFL football team’s practice facility in Indianapolis. The Super Bowl is getting upstaged by the greatest spectacle in football. Manning is making headlines without playing a down, dominating conversations without saying a word and superseding the two conference champions from the sideline.Peyton Manning
The meeting between Peyton Manning and Colts owner Jim Irsay was scheduled for sometime this week. You know we pitched the idea of showing that thing on pay-per-view and raising money for charity.
As far as we know that meeting may have already happened. It may be today. It may have been postponed. You know the background: Manning’s a stud who has battled a neck injury that has left his future uncertain; without Manning, the Colts went 2-14 and have the No. 1 pick in the draft, which features Andrew Luck, the best QB prospect to come out of college since, well, Peyton Manning; the Colts have to make a move soon since Manning is owed a $28 million roster bonus the first week in March.
Let’s role play, and picture a possible exchange between Manning and Irsay, as the two guys decide how the Hall-of-Fame chapter in Indy will end for one of the game’s best QBs ever.
