Manning is tough, he didn’t bitch about it to his trainers and coaches during the season. No injury to report!

How is an honest mafia bookie supposed to make a buck if Goodell won’t enforce rules that are designed to keep the Las Vegas line accurate?

Oh sure, I know disclosing injuries can make key players targets and place them at further risk of more serious injury – especially those of Manning’s caliber…

But we’re talking about a rule that is more important than player’s health – we’re talking about money – which is why Goodell is always sure to strictly enforce this rule.

Cheaters! Cheaters!! Oh wait, I thought this was about the Patriots. My Bad, so sorry. Kind of jumped the gun.

Is this surprising? This is the same team that used to pump noise into their home facility while on defense. Classless.

For crying out loud….its the Colts. They don’t have to abide by the rules. Peyton is a saint and they can do as they please.

@thephantomstranger I don’t think so. I’ve seen Bolts players on it who have practiced all week.

Yeah I think the deal is that if a guy misses practice he HAS to be on the report…not he must miss practice TO be on the report.

I support lying on injury reports regardless of team though. A coach’s’ first duty is to PROTECT HIS PLAYERS. If the NFL is concerned with safety only instead of gambling, they could require the teams to submit injury reports to THEM so they have record but they should never ever be public knowledge. It sux for the guys’ safety.

Why would they report it as an injury if there was no real affect on how he was playing and his playing status was never in jeapordy?

It’s the NFL and no single player that plays any signficant amount of snaps is even close to being 100% healthy after the 4th week of the season. If you ask them to be very picky, then we’re going to get reports that list any slight thigh bruise or soar back etc…

This article is a waste of space…

Maybe cause he was 100% playing and the colts didn’t want defenders going after his neck to knock their franchise qb out of the game/season? Logic generally works when applied properly.

I’m sure all teams are very forthcoming with injury information. It only makes sense…for Las Vegas.

You’re “puzzled” as to why Manning didn’t appear on the injury report? We’re not.

That’s a REALLY weird picture of Peyton and Polian.

I hear Tom Brady is listed as probable due to a shoulder injury.

Doesn’t he have to miss practice to appear on the injury report? If he never missed practice, there’s no reason to report an injury.

Manning probably played it off as no big deal to keep playing. How many plays was he out for after his jaw was broken?

Polian blames himself for Potato’s problems. “If I was just a little taller, Peyton wouldn’t have to bend his head when we’re ‘necking’ “.
