As the Colts close in on 0-16, and Andrew Luck, everyone in Indianapolis is wondering what will happen with Peyton Manning in 2012. Will they trade him, cut him, have him groom Luck for a year or two or three? The sad reality is that Manning may have played his last snap in thie NFL. Chris Myers of FOX Sports reports that there is a "better than 50% chance" that Manning retires after the season. While it is almost a certainty that Manning will not suit up this season, despite his not being placed on injured reserve, many Colts fans - and NFL fans - have held out hope that he would be playing - somewhere - in 2012. But if his neck does not heal from multiple surgeries, he may be content to hang up the cleats and retire with dignity.

In 1998, the Indianapolis Colts selected Peyton Manning with the first overall pick of the draft. This...

I’d say “Nay.” I can be a cynical and mean old coot, but there is no way I am going to poke fun at the adorable mug of an infant. What kind of person do you think I am? Oh. Is that right? I can’t say that doesn’t sting a bit, but oh well. Anyhoo, [...]
