PM me that prediction!
I'd have to be some kind of coward to make such a prediction in private, knowing that I could bury it if it doesn't come true. Nope, much more bold and courageous to post it publicly for all to see.
That's just how mani rolls.
But whatcha gonna do?
Sounds like some kind of sushi...
I generally do not follow the odds. Anyone know what the odds were on the Colts before yesterday's surgery and the fact that his career may actually be over was announced?

Mannings Neck Surgery Might Put a Crick in His Season, Doctors Say
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning is out of the game after having neck surgery Thursday, his third surgical procedure in the past 19 months. In a statement released Thursday, the team said Manning had a single level anterior fusion procedure, which was uneventful.
...
Dr. Mark Knaub, a spinal surgeon at Penn State Hershey Medical Center, said recovery can take two to four months for someone with an average, non-strenuous job. But for an athlete playing a contact sport such as football, that recovery time can be much longer: up to nine months, in some cases. Knaub said thats because doctors must make sure that the athletes bones have fused.
Sometimes recovery is accelerated in professional athletes, Knaub said. But Id be surprised if Manning made it back to the field this season.

I actually don't expect to see Manning play this year at all. If he is out 2-3 months (or longer) then they could already be out of the playoff hunt before he is ready to play. At that point, it would be stupid to put him in a competitive position this year... of course, Indy could gamble and maybe trade him to a team that was in the hunt... EZ would love that!

Yeah, maybe the Colts can get Ryan Leaf!

I hear Trent Dilfer is available. He's even got a ring. Better yet, Brett Favre.

No way in hell they would trade him.

I don't think so either. It was a just a little ribbing of EZ.
I'm kind of indifferent on the Colts. Don't really care either way, but I don't think they will trade him.
I fear, however, that Peyton's career may be over for good. I wish him a speedy and full recovery and a return to the game in the near future.

Didn't they just sign him for 5 years?

It's true he's not so young anymore. This could certainly hasten things in that direction. Probably be just as well for him. He's got plenty of money and can go on making 100 commercials a day for the next 30 years.

While he may have a lot of money in your (and my eyes), it is sad to see that so many of our fallen sports heroes end up broke and homeless just a few years after retirement. Peyton seems like he has a level head on his shoulders. I hope he can manage his money well.
Although, even if his career is over, I think he has a future in football either as a coach or an announcer/analyst on TV.

He does good things with his money, donates to the places he's lived, New Orleans, Tennessee and Indy. Here, this is one of the things he's done here in Indy.
Welcome to the Peyton Manning Children
Nah j/k. Favre was one of those players I loved to "hate". I wish him the best of luck as well and will miss that damned smile of his on the field.
