In Response to Re: Is Peyton Manning Done?:


Yeah but he really has a great screen presence. He actually does a lot of self humbling roles with great cerbral humor.

" hey a mans gotta work"        loved it.

also, i will miss the Manning / Brady games. Every game was of importance.  better than Yanks / Sox  (19 season, maybe 7 playoffs).. yawn!  Duke / NC  its basketball for crying out loud.  

He milked the Clots out of 28 million.  Point, Gomer.  He also probably got Polian fired doing it.  Point, Irsay.  He won't get the next payout, and the Clots had to throw the season to get the 1 draft pick.  Point, no one.  This team has lost the aura of being an elite organization with high standards. Now they just go diving for draft picks and blaming/firing coaches etc.  What a total meltdown.  They sold their souls to keep it going, and now it's time to pay.  I'm not sad.  Their character hasn't slipped, it has just been revealed.  

     Here's yet another report, indicating that Peyton Manning is done:

Yes, yes, yes... another report about Peyton Manning and his status with the Colts. Get used to them because more will surface. Peyton Manning's health and future in the NFL are the story this week, not some little game that is going to get played Sunday. Since everyone and their mother's mother has descended upon Indianapolis, as it is the site for Super Bowl XLVI, news about Manning will continue to percolate until... well, until we hear something definitive from either Manning himself or Colts owner Jim Irsay.

The first report last night came via Peter King of SI. He was working the pre-game show for the 2012 Pro Bowl, and he said that, according to Manning family friend Gil Brandt, Peyton still isn't healthy five months after spinal fusion surgery and it is doubtful he will ever play again.

Not long after, Amy Lawrence of ESPN tweeted this:
