You could say the Colts indeed rewarded #18
P.Manning 50 million ways for sticking his neck out … Ouch! Wait, Is that mean?

Why the hell did they activate him off the PUP?
______________________________
Because if they hadn’t, then there would have been no chance whatsoever of having him back until after week 6. They removed him from the pup list to give themselves that opportunity while they waited to hear from the doctors.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer team :-)

Boy are you wrong…I had a hard time even finding that little meaningless car race amongst the various other events in the world that are far more popular. I understand that from your pissant little town that just lost the only worthwhile thing that it ever had that it might seem to be really big…it must be soooo exciting to actually have a few hundred thoudsand people in town, huh? But apparently it’s not the biggest & best after all! So crawl back into your little hole (and I’ve been to that boring hole you live in – what did Whitlock call it…”naptown”) & pop back out when those cars go round & round for a few hours…because their ain’t nothing else worth looking at amongst those cows & cornfields… Ahhhh, it will be sooooooo much fun to watch you guys lose, and lose, and lose for years to come!!! Maybe lil Jimmy will go back to the rock??? Y’all deserve each other…

Being 100% truthful, I can’t stand the Colts, but I’m sure PM is the best QB in the league, & more than that, he is a human being, & all of those who jump on here to insult or make ill intended remarks about a man with a serious condition, well , I would say you are heartless and not a true Football fan. I for one would hope he has a successful surgery, and a full recovery, and a speedy return to the NFL. He has worked hard to be one of the greatest to ever play, in the toughest position in all of football. Furthermore, has been a true “iron man” having never missed a start! He’s got my respect, and I pray for you & your family PM! Take care of yourself and hope to see you back real soon! All the haters stop & think about something, while football is indeed a game, there are real people playing it.

As someone who has had several surgeries, they are no fun no matter how minor. They are calling it “neck surgery”, but it’s actually “Disc Surgery”. Neck surgery sounds like they are removing a mole from the side of his neck. Disc surgery is disc surgery.

This will give Peyton plenty of time for commercials, you know, screaming at kids who can’t perform, putting down the over 30 pot belly crowd etc.
It’s better than getting your own butt kicked.

How about chilling until #18 tells us just what ever he wants us to know. Bill

Signed his guaranteed money (that’s not going back to the Indy fans) and the team is screwed while he “rehabilitates”. Lousy way to finish a phenomenal career.

That said, you have to imagine he’s thinking about what happened with Cooper and weighing the risks of playing with a fused neck.

Glad I wasted a 1st round pick on him. His neck is anti-awesome and has just cost me 200 bucks.

====================================

HAHA – Fantasy Fish. I wish you were in my league. First round pick – yeah, maybe if it was a 50 team league.

Current head coach will be demoted to lead staring-contest team representative.”

I’m a Pats fan, and can feel the knot in the stomachs of all the Colts fans like when Brady went down for us in Game 1 a few years ago. Any time we are robbed of the Brady / Manning / Brees / Rivers rivalry great games, we all lose. As much as it kills me, since he’s so good… I’ll miss looking forward to the game against the Colts now.

It always feels more legit, as a Pats fan, to beat them on the way to the big prize. Heal up Peyton, you still have a few years in the tank!

In a soft division, they might be close enough to make a late-season run if (big IF) he can return in time for the last few weeks.
