Manning will play again. Book it.

I would guess so too unless the injury is really serious - dangerous serious. Or making it impossible to throw properly. None of us really know what the doctors told him - privately.

As I said at the beginning of the year, if Peyton didn't play Week 1 of the 2011-12 season, he ain't playing for good.

Too many ifs.

Nothing in that article about why the refs ignored late hit after late hit after late hit on Favre. The refs had every chance to retake control of that game and appeared to willingly ignore that responsibility.

It will be interesting to see how hard the NFL comes down on them.

This is really blowing up with strong opinions on both sides, players arguing both sides vehemently on ESPN. As far as I'm concerned, this is a players issue and what the fans think doesn't mean s**t. Not cool to have coaches paying players for injuring players though, and not surprised the Saints are at the center of it. Team and their fans have always seemed cheesy.

by **Beauner** » Tue 3/06/12 11:44 am

All these NFL analysts on ESPN and stuff that are saying they want to find the guy who ratted this out and put a whuppin on him make me sick.
The athletes right now love the extra pay day, especially the ones who were being paid to cheap shot, and don't care about what happens to the other guys. Ask players that played 10-20 years ago that can barely get up the stairs what they think about this bounty system. I bet they are pretty damn embarrassed by it.
The hypocrisy of the NFLPA is just bewildering. They didn't want an 18 game regular season because it isn't safe. But they are totally OK with a bounty system and are more interested in finding the guy who "leaked" it? The guy who did the right thing is going to be black-balled by his fellow players while these thug morons continue to get paid.

He didn't want to do that because then he would be expected to teach Luck and prepare him to take over for him in a few years. Manning still thinks he is capable of playing at a high level for a few years and doesn't want to waste it teaching another QB. Also, the talent around Manning proved to be lacking this year. He found and out and took it.

by **Bushwood Gopher** » Wed 3/07/12 4:23 pm

I know. My point was the Colts made a business decision about Manning's career just like Peyton Manning did with his career. I find it...shortsighted that Colts fans think management is somehow the villainous one in all of this. Each side had to do what was in their best interest. It seemed inevitable to me that it would result in Manning either going somewhere else to play or simply retiring.

Their thought process is they think RG3 can be a Top 3 QB in football for the next 10 years and they will sell a ton of jerseys. If they're right it's a good move, if not it hamstrings their org for the better part of the next decade.

I'd be pretty shocked if Tebow goes anywhere but Jacksonville. It seems to be the perfect fit. He was born and raised in Florida, played at UF, would sell out the stadium week 1 (which they haven't done since probably 2003), and would sell an insane amount of jerseys.

Yep. It would seem likely he'd land there or Miami. Both in FL and both with murky QB situations.

I don't know if they'll get that. I mean, they don't really have any leverage. I bet half the league (maybe even more) wouldn't touch Tebow with a 10 foot pole.

Like the point Beauner made though, JAX may value the buzz/fanfare it would certainly bring to their organization.

If Miami AND Denver both get a Tebow-ner for trading for him they could end up getting a 1st rounder. I'd look more for a 2nd rounder and a 5th or something like that. He won games last year in Denver which will make his value go higher, but the team that trades for him is going to have to adjust their whole offense.

Denver has acknowledged that they probably only get a 5th round pick for Tebow. They said if no one trades for him, they will release him. I don't know why anyone would offer up picks if they knew that

Earlier today one of the guys on ESPN reported they could probably get a 2nd rounder from a desperate team. Obviously Denver coming out and saying "We're going to release him if we can't trade him" changes that.

Sweet.... since this all started to come to light because of the Farve mauling in the NFC Championship, we get the Colts in the Super Bowl now , right?....or is this another f*** you to the Minnesota sports fan?

Let's change the MLB coinflip rule the year after the Twins got screwed.....Let's change the NFL overtime rule the year after the Vikes got screwed......Let's just say "sorry " to Vikes fans that after losing to a team that was proven to be using a illegal bounty system which explains the high rate of illegal hits on our QB in that game (and if you recall one of those hits directly resulted in a INT on said play).....we'll suspend some coaches and a GM. oh, and take a couple of draft picks and some cash. Everyone's happy, right?

They brokes the rules -they cheated - they should vacate. Just like when , once again, MN sports fans got screwed because our only NCAA hoops FF run ever got vacated.....mostly because we can't even cheat correctly.

Love it...it was SO OBVIOUS they targeted FARVE in the NFC title game. That (and 12 men in the huddle) cost Vikes a SB berth. Glad to see...what goes around..comes around. :good2:

Sweet.... since this all started to come to light because of the Farve mauling in the NFC Championship, we get the Colts in the Super Bowl now , right?....or is this another f*** you to the Minnesota sports fan?

Let's change the MLB coinflip rule the year after the Twins got screwed.....Let's change the NFL overtime rule the year after the Vikes got screwed......Let's just say "sorry " to Vikes fans that after losing to a team that was proven to be using a illegal bounty system which explains the high rate of illegal hits on our QB in that game (and if you recall one of those hits directly resulted in a INT on said play).....we'll suspend some coaches and a GM. oh, and take a couple of draft picks and some cash. Everyone's happy, right?

They brokes the rules -they cheated - they should vacate. Just like when , once again, MN sports fans got screwed because our only NCAA hoops FF run ever got vacated.....mostly because we can't even cheat correctly.

I like an anti-Minnesota conspiracy as much as the next guy. But bounties have been going on since before face masks. Now somebody was actually dumb enough to talk about it and Goodell had to act.

"The Jets sent fourth and sixth round picks to Denver in exchange for Tebow and a seventh-rounder, according to a league source."

This one is a head scratcher. :confused2:

Totally correct Sun - the NFL did what they had to do, and probably the only thing they could do. I mean, it's not like they could replay the game (or could they? :wink:

).....but my point is once again this jilted fan base takes another shot in the nuts. I hate my teams losing, but I know losing is part of being a fan. But this sick reoccurring theme of heartbreaking loses followed up by leagues changing rules that effected said loses, or teams being caught cheating after said loses just won't go away....
