Title: Manning's Public comments irk Colts’ Jim Irsay Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on January 28, 2012, 10:26:59 AM http://dailycaller.com/2012/01/27/public-comments-irk-colts-jim-irsay/
I believe there is a good chance Manning will be released and Andrew Luck will start next year. Irsay will let him go instead of paying Manning all that money. Main issue is Manning's health. JMHO Quote Two days after Peyton Manning publicly complained about the dour atmosphere at team headquarters following a 2-14 season and a rash of firings, Colts owner Jim Irsay introduced his new head coach and then stunned everyone by calling his franchise player a “politician” who had decided to air dirty laundry. “I don’t think it’s in the best interest to paint the horseshoe in a negative light, I really don’t,” Irsay told reporters, referring to the team’s longtime logo. “The horseshoe always comes first, and I think one thing he’s always known, because he’s been around it so long, is that, you know, you keep it in the family. If you’ve got a problem you talk to each other, it’s not about campaigning or anything like that.” The comments suggest there is a rift between Manning and Irsay, who is just six weeks from a deadline to pay the four-time league MVP a $28 million bonus or risk losing him as a free agent.

Remember, it's not their money! :tinfoil: Title: Re: Manning's Public comments irk Colts’ Jim Irsay Post by: McBaman on January 28, 2012, 08:57:01 PM Really depends on whether they want to cut ties with Peyton now or try to hold on for a while. There ought to be a way to restructure the bonus so the team doesn't take all the $$$ risk.

Andy Luck filling Payton's shoes ? that's a pretty tall order for a rookie QB that didn't win his last game against a pile of cry babies ... my screen saver use to be Payton laying on the ground after Porter picked him off for a TD in the big game .... win win for me ... only thing missing ? if Ravens would have won and getting to see all the Mayflower moving vans at the Colts stadium ...

Gamble Luck would have a rookie season like Scam did his first year. Irsay, sorry but Luck ain't no Scam. Pains me to say that. :tinfoil: |
